Why Nichols Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nichols is a small but growing community with a city population of 139, sitting inside a fast-expanding West Florida metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a growth rate of 2.50% annually, sunny conditions (228 sunny days per year), and a humid subtropical setting (hardiness zone 8b), local homeowners are seeing more grading, site prep, and yard remodeling projects. Those projects need reliable materials that stand up to coastal soils and seasonal rain—especially with about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—so buyers increasingly seek quality aggregates that compact well, resist erosion, and make foundations and landscaping stable over time.Popular Projects in Nichols This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nichols Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nichols.
Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than topsoil in Nichols because it is raw subsoil with little organic matter and requires less processing. Local prices vary based on supplier and delivery distance, so check Hello Gravel quotes for transparent local pricing and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or reshape ground and typically contains little organic material, roots, or topsoil. In Nichols and West Florida it often reflects local sandy or clayey subsoil, so expect regional color and texture differences compared with garden topsoil.
A single dump truck load of fill dirt in the Nichols area typically ranges from about $300 to $900 depending on truck size, distance from the supplier, and site access. For an exact price, get a quote on Hello Gravel—our listings show delivery fees, truck type, and next-day options where available.
Yes, fill dirt can be used to raise low spots and level lawns, but you should place it in thin lifts and compact each layer to avoid future settling. Don’t leave fill dirt as the final surface if you plan to grow grass or plants—top it with several inches of quality topsoil before seeding or planting.
The 70/30 rule commonly refers to mixing about 70% topsoil with 30% organic matter or compost to create good planting soil. Fill dirt is not suitable for this mix because it lacks organic matter; if you need planting soil in Nichols, order topsoil or amend fill dirt heavily and test drainage first.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth. For common depths: 6 inches covers roughly 54 square feet, and 12 inches covers about 27 square feet—use those numbers to calculate how many yards you need for your Nichols project.
Use fill dirt when you need to change elevation, backfill foundations, or create a stable base under driveways, patios, or retaining walls. Choose topsoil when the surface will support grass, gardens, or landscaping where plant growth and organic content matter.
Yes, compacting fill dirt in thin lifts is important in Nichols to reduce future settling, especially with the sandy or clayey local subsoils. Hire a compaction service or rent a plate compactor and place material in 6-inch or smaller layers, then compact before adding subsequent lifts or topsoil.
Order online through Hello Gravel, enter your Nichols zip code to see local suppliers, and note site access, preferred delivery date, and whether you want the driver to attempt tailgate spreading.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
