Why Opa-locka Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Opa-locka has a city population of 16,463 and lies within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, with a growth rate of 2.50% annually. In West Florida’s warm climate (hardiness zone 8b) that averages 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, residential expansion and renovation projects are common. That steady growth increases demand for basic site-prep materials such as Fill Dirt for raising driveways, grading yards, installing patios, and backfilling foundations. Homeowners need Fill Dirt that compacts predictably, minimizes post-installation settling, and performs through sun-driven drying cycles and occasional heavy rains. Clear pricing, dependable local supply, and scheduled delivery are essential so projects keep moving without surprise delays or multiple supplier calls. Fill Dirt in this environment is best when it is low in organic material and graded to compact well, which helps limit erosion during rain events and reduces long-term settling under Florida’s sunny, shifting soils. For common Opa-locka projects—yard regrades, shed pads, and utility trenches—quality Fill Dirt acts as a stable base before final surfacing. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery so you can order the right quantity online, choose a preferred delivery date, and get professional drop-off service. Standard delivery requires 2 business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Opa-locka This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Opa-locka Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Opa-locka.
Fill dirt is subsoil with few roots or organic materials used to raise grade, fill holes, or support structures. In Opa-locka it’s commonly used for leveling yards, building up low spots to improve drainage, and as backfill around foundations—it's not a finish surface for landscaping or driveways, which need topsoil or aggregate.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and moisture but expect roughly $12 to $35 per cubic yard or about $8 to $25 per ton as a ballpark delivered range in West Florida/Opa-locka. Exact pricing depends on availability, order size (minimum order is 3 tons), and whether you need next-day delivery or spreading services; use Hello Gravel’s checkout for a firm quote.
Yes. Coastal sandy soils and a high water table can increase settling and reduce natural cohesion, so fill dirt in Opa-locka often needs better compaction or engineered fill to be stable. High humidity and salt exposure may also affect underground materials and drainage design, so plan for proper drainage and, for critical projects, consult an engineer.
For foundations or structural work in Opa-locka, request engineered or structural fill that is free of organics, well-graded, and specified to meet local compaction requirements—your building official or engineer will specify exact gradation. For driveways, plain fill dirt is usually not appropriate as a surface; instead use a compacted base of crushed stone or dense-graded aggregate topped with a wearing surface.
Structural fills usually require compaction to about 90% to 95% of standard Proctor, achieved by placing fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compacting each lift. Small residential jobs can use plate compactors or jumping-jacks; larger areas require vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers and may need field density testing to verify results.
You may. Miami-Dade County and the City of Opa-locka have rules for grading, drainage changes, and work in flood-prone areas, and significant grade changes often require permits or engineering review. Check with Opa-locka building and zoning departments before starting and retain documentation for inspections if your project affects foundations, drainage, or floodplain elevations.
Yes—Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries across West Florida and can match you with local suppliers and hauling contractors that service Opa-locka. Supplier and hauler details (and pricing) are available in checkout; if you need installation help, we can also recommend local contractors in many areas or you can ask our sales team for referrals.
Clear vegetation and debris, mark underground utilities, and create a clear access path for a tri-axle dump truck to safely dump material. Note street width, overhead wires, and HOA or municipal rules about on-street dumping; request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but remember spreading is at the driver’s discretion and not guaranteed.
Slope grades away from buildings, install swales or French drains where needed, and use erosion control measures (silt fences, temporary seeding) on exposed slopes. Because coastal storms and high water tables are common in Opa-locka, consider engineered solutions for larger fills and get any required permits before changing site drainage.
Common issues include settlement from organic matter or poor compaction, drainage problems, and buried debris causing instability. Avoid problems by ordering clean, low-organic fill, compacting in proper lifts with correct equipment, testing critical fills, and consulting a soils engineer for structural work.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
