Why Nocatee Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nocatee homeowners are building in a fast-growing community — city population 2,282 — within a broader region that is expanding (metro area population 2.5+ million) at a 2.50% annual growth rate. Located in West Florida's Hardiness Zone 8b, the area enjoys 228 sunny days per year but also receives 34.00 inches of rain annually, a combination that drives frequent lot grading, driveway preparation, and yard regrading as homeowners manage both sun exposure and seasonal downpours. That steady growth and climate mix increase demand for dependable aggregates: fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots, build level pads, support foundations and hardscapes, and improve drainage. Homeowners want clear guidance on quantities, compaction, and delivery so they avoid future settling and erosion in local soils and coastal-influenced conditions. Fill dirt — typically clean, low-organic subsoil — is well suited to Nocatee projects because it compacts to form a stable base that helps direct water away from structures and resists long-term settling in the community's sandy, coastal soils. Given 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, selecting regionally appropriate, low-organic fill and compacting it properly helps reduce erosion and drainage problems. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source fill dirt that reflects the area's geology, provides transparent pricing, and schedules delivery via professional dump trucks. Minimum orders start at 3 tons; standard delivery runs 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion.Popular Projects in Nocatee This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nocatee Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nocatee.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and site access, but in West Florida around Nocatee you can generally expect fill dirt to range roughly from $10 to $30 per cubic yard delivered. Small orders, tight access, or next-day delivery can raise the price, while larger bulk orders and easier drop zones lower it. Use Hello Gravel's calculator and get a local quote to see an exact price for your address.
Yes, fill dirt is typically cheaper than topsoil because it contains little organic matter and is sold for raising grade rather than planting. If you are finishing a lawn or garden in Nocatee, you will usually add a layer of topsoil or compost on top of compacted fill dirt for plant health, which adds cost.
Fill dirt is inert soil used to raise or level ground and usually has low organic content. In Nocatee and much of West Florida it is often sandy or sand-clay mix that compacts differently than loam; it will look like brown or tan soil without roots or mulch and can vary by local quarry.
Most contracted dump trucks serving Hello Gravel are tri-axle rigs that typically carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load. Smaller single-axle trucks carry less, and available truck sizes and capacities affect pricing and delivery options.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube, equal to 27 cubic feet. Visually, that covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches depth or about 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, which helps when planning small grading or backfill jobs.
Many full-size pickup beds can carry roughly 1 cubic yard of loose material if the load is kept level with the bed, though capacities vary by truck model and payload rating. Always check your truck's payload limit before hauling, and for safety and convenience consider having Hello Gravel deliver if you need more than a yard or if weight is a concern.
Using the typical range for the area, 20 cubic yards of fill dirt can cost roughly $200 to $600 in material before any special fees, though actual delivered cost often depends on distance, access, and truck size. For a precise number, request a Hello Gravel quote that includes delivery to your Nocatee address and any site-specific surcharges.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, but you should place it in thin lifts (6 inches or less) and compact each layer to avoid future settling. Because Nocatee soils are often sandy, proper compaction and finishing with several inches of topsoil or compost on the surface is recommended for lawns or plantings, and watch local drainage to avoid creating runoff problems.
Coverage depends on depth: one cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Use these figures when estimating how many yards you need to reach your desired finished grade.
A common 70/30 guideline for soil mixes is roughly 70% topsoil or base soil to 30% organic amendment like compost for planting beds. Fill dirt is not a substitute for that planting mix: use compacted fill dirt to build grade, then add a proper topsoil/compost blend for planting to meet the 70/30 approach if you plan to establish turf or garden beds.
Fill dirt is soil used to raise or level ground and contains little rock or organic matter, while gravel is crushed stone used for drainage, structural base, and load-bearing surfaces. Use fill dirt to change elevation and fill voids, but use gravel where you need drainage or a stable base for driveways, pads, or heavy traffic.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
