Why Palm Harbor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palm Harbor has a population of 69,426 and sits inside a fast-growing West Florida region that is expanding at about 2.50% annually. With a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, this climate supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates unique site-prep demands. Homeowners and contractors in Palm Harbor are regularly reshaping yard grades, building raised beds, and preparing foundations for additions and pools. That steady development makes reliable aggregates important: quality Fill Dirt minimizes future settling, provides a stable base for landscaping and construction, and helps contractors meet compaction and grading specs so projects finish on schedule and perform well in both sun and storm. Fill Dirt in Palm Harbor should be chosen with local conditions in mind—low-organic, well-graded material that compacts predictably and resists excessive washout during heavy rain events works best for raising grade and filling voids. Because the area gets strong sun and seasonal storms, pairing compacted Fill Dirt with proper drainage (for example, a gravel layer or perforated pipe where needed) reduces long-term movement. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offers clear pricing and scheduling (standard delivery in 2+ business days, next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST), and helps you get the right quantity and timing so your Palm Harbor project stays on track.Popular Projects in Palm Harbor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palm Harbor Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Palm Harbor.
Prices vary, but delivered fill dirt in Palm Harbor typically runs about $12 to $35 per cubic yard (roughly $15 to $45 per ton) depending on volume, site access, and haul distance. Hello Gravel minimums and delivery fees can change the final price, so get a local quote through our site for an exact delivered price.
Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper than topsoil because it contains little organic matter and is used for grading rather than growing plants. If you are finishing a lawn, plan to add a layer of topsoil or amended soil on top of fill dirt for plant health.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or level ground; it has low organic content and is chosen for compaction. In Palm Harbor you may see sandier fill with shell fragments because of the local geology and coastal deposits, and you should consider the high water table when placing large fills.
A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 14 to 16 cubic yards of loose fill dirt; delivered loads in Palm Harbor commonly range from about $350 to $1,200 depending on load size, site access, and timing. For an accurate cost, request a quote that includes delivery, offloading location, and any difficult access fees.
One cubic yard equals a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube — roughly the size of a mid-size washing machine stacked on its end. Visually, it will form a small mound; for practical planning convert to square feet at your desired depth (see coverage examples).
It depends on the truck: a standard full-size short-bed pickup typically carries about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards safely, while compact pickups carry far less. Always check your truck’s payload rating and avoid overloading; for larger jobs use a dump truck through Hello Gravel.
Using the local per-yard range, 20 cubic yards of fill dirt in Palm Harbor typically costs about $240 to $700 before any special delivery or access fees. Larger orders often lower the per-yard price, so get a quote for bulk pricing and delivery options.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, but it must be placed in thin lifts and compacted to avoid future settling. Because Palm Harbor has sandy soils and a high water table, plan for proper drainage, compaction, and a final top layer of topsoil for lawns or planting.
Coverage depends on depth: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. For leveling, compute the average depth you need and divide 27 cubic feet by that depth in feet to find square footage covered.
The 70/30 rule (70% soil to 30% compost) is a planting mix guideline and does not apply to fill dirt. If you use fill dirt to raise grade, top with a proper planting mix or topsoil amended with compost (following the 70/30 or similar ratios) before seeding or planting.
Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up or level surfaces and is meant to compact; gravel is rock used for drainage, base layers, and finished surfaces. In Palm Harbor you might choose sandy fill dirt for bulk grading and gravel over that base where drainage or a driving surface is required.
Because fill dirt density varies, 1 ton equals roughly 0.6 to 0.9 cubic yards depending on moisture and composition. For ordering and planning in Palm Harbor, we recommend using cubic yards for volume and asking suppliers for the local tons-per-yard conversion if you only have weight-based pricing.
The most cost-effective options are ordering larger bulk loads, using locally sourced material to reduce haul distance, or reusing soil from your own excavation. Check Hello Gravel for local suppliers and bulk pricing and ask about delivery windows or off-peak discounts to lower costs.
No. Two inches of gravel over uncompacted fill dirt is generally insufficient for a driveway. For a durable drive in Palm Harbor, you need a well-compacted fill or base layer, then multiple inches of base stone and a thicker surface layer of gravel, with attention to drainage and compaction.
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.
