Fill Dirt in Pembroke Park, FL

Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Regional supplier availability and truck scheduling can affect lead times, so check delivery dates at checkout or contact our team to confirm. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets.

Fill dirt in Pembroke Park usually ranges from fine sandy loam to heavier clay mixed with local sand and shell, reflecting South Florida geology. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color can vary from loads shown online; you can note color preferences at checkout but exact matches are not guaranteed. If you need screened or rock-free material, request screened fill at checkout and confirm availability.

Use cubic yards to plan: 1 cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 1 inch depth (or 0.0031 cubic yards per square foot per inch). For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 4 inches of fill needs about 12.3 cubic yards. For accuracy, use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your length, width, and desired depth.

Weight varies with moisture and composition, but typical fill dirt in South Florida averages about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard when damp. Use the conservative end of this range for ordering and double-check with our team if you need exact tonnage for truck or permit calculations.

Yes. Any project that changes site grading, affects drainage, or involves large quantities of fill can trigger local permitting in Pembroke Park or Broward County. Before large deliveries or extensive regrading, contact the Pembroke Park Building Department or Broward County permitting office to confirm permit and inspection requirements. Hello Gravel can deliver your material, but you are responsible for ensuring permits and inspections are in place.

South Florida's salty air has limited direct effect on inert fill dirt, but high rainfall and frequent storms increase the risk of washout and settlement if material is not compacted and protected. Use proper compaction in layers, add surface rock for driveways, and install erosion control (silt fence, vegetation, or retaining structures) on slopes to reduce movement after storms. For beachfront or exposed sites, consider materials with better drainage like crushed stone or shell under top layers.

Screened fill dirt is finer and easier to grade and seed, making it a good choice for lawns, top dressing, and areas where you want minimal rocks. Unscreened (bank-run) fill is cheaper and fine for bulk elevation work or under structural base layers where cobbles won't interfere. Check availability and lead times with Hello Gravel, and request screened material at checkout if surface finish matters.

Compacted fill dirt can provide a stable mass when placed in thin lifts and compacted, but it may hold water and erode on exposed slopes if left bare. Crushed shell and other coarse materials drain better and resist surface erosion, which often makes them a better choice on coastal slopes or areas prone to runoff. For best results combine engineered fill, erosion control fabric, and vegetation or hardscape features based on site slope and exposure.

Some Pembroke Park streets, gated communities, and HOAs restrict heavy truck access or require advance notification and permits. Most Hello Gravel deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks; drivers will assess driveways, overhead wires, and obstructions on arrival and may refuse placement they consider unsafe. To avoid surprises, note access constraints in order notes and confirm with our team before delivery.

Expect some settlement and surface rutting during the first year, especially after heavy rains, unless the base is properly compacted and capped with a durable surfacing layer like crushed stone or asphalt. Plan for occasional regrading, top-up material, and edge reinforcement, and consider geotextile fabric under the base to improve stability on soft or sandy sites. Regular inspection after storms helps catch problem areas early.

Prices vary by supplier and load type, but in West Florida homeowners can typically expect a delivered range of roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard for common fill dirt, or about $10 to $25 per ton depending on moisture content and screening. Final price depends on distance, truck type, screening, and whether spreading is requested; check our site for zip-code based quotes and delivery date availability.
