Why Princeton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Princeton is a growing community with a city population of 31,189 and a surrounding metro area of 2.5+ million. Local expansion—driven by a 2.50% annual growth rate and favorable growing conditions in hardiness zone 8b—keeps demand high for residential and small commercial projects. With 228 sunny days a year and about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and contractors are frequently grading lots, building retaining walls, and reworking yards to manage both sun exposure and seasonal wet periods. For these jobs, reliable aggregates matter: consistent, low-organic fill dirt helps avoid future settling, improves drainage choices, and creates stable platforms for patios, driveways, and foundations. Homeowners value clear quantity estimates and dependable delivery so materials arrive when crews are ready and projects stay on schedule. Fill dirt is a practical choice in Princeton's climate because it provides a compactable, low-organic base that resists washout during rainy periods while settling predictably under sun-dry cycles. Use it to raise low spots, level building pads, backfill foundations, and support hardscape installations; compact in 6-inch to 8-inch lifts for best results. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who source regionally consistent fill dirt, provide transparent pricing, and let you choose a delivery date—standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day options available for earlier deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions - Princeton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Princeton.
Yes. Fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it is less processed and often comes from excavation or local borrow sites. Local pricing in Princeton depends on source, moisture, and delivery distance, but expect fill dirt to cost noticeably less per ton than decorative or crushed stone.
Fill dirt is primarily subsoil with clay, sand, and small rock used to raise or level ground; it is not intended as a finished surface. Gravel is a processed rock product used for drainage and surface material. In Princeton, fill dirt is used for bulk grading and backfill, while gravel is used for driveways, paths, and drainage layers.
Prices vary by supplier and delivery route, but a typical delivered price range in Princeton is about $15 to $45 per ton depending on quality, moisture, and distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide an exact delivered price for your zip code and schedule.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards (about 12–18 tons for fill dirt), depending on moisture. At local per-ton rates, a full truckload can range roughly from $200 to $800; exact pricing depends on tonnage, delivery location in Princeton, and any access or unloading complications.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 ft2 x 0.5 ft ÷ 27). Fill dirt in Princeton typically weighs about 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 22–30 tons. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate based on your site conditions.
Yes, but only with proper preparation: compact the fill dirt in lifts, remove organic topsoil, and add a compacted base layer if needed. In many parts of West Florida, including Princeton, a geotextile fabric and a layer of crushed rock or coarse gravel between the fill and wearing surface improves drainage and reduces rutting. Ask for tailgate spreading when you order, and the driver can assess feasibility on arrival.
Yes for small to moderate leveling work. Spread fill dirt in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift to reduce future settling. Be mindful of Princeton's sandy soils and high water table in low areas; if you need structural fill or major grade changes, consider consulting a contractor or engineer.
Coverage depends on depth. One cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, and fill dirt in Princeton commonly weighs about 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard, so 1 ton will cover roughly 250–300 sq ft at 1 inch or about 30–45 sq ft at a 6-inch depth. For exact coverage use our calculator with your desired depth.
No. Two inches of gravel over uncompacted fill dirt is generally not sufficient for a driveway. You should have a compacted fill dirt subgrade, a 4–6 inch compacted base (crushed stone or rock), and then a 1–2 inch wearing layer of gravel to ensure durability and proper drainage.
Order larger quantities, source locally through Hello Gravel to avoid long-haul delivery fees, and schedule standard delivery rather than next-day when possible. Also ask suppliers about 'clean fill' or excavated fill options—these are often cheaper than processed fill—but ensure material is appropriate for your use and meets any local regulations.
Yes. Fill dirt will settle over time, especially in Florida's sandy or organic soils and if not compacted properly. Plan to order 5–10% extra for settlement and place and compact fill in thin lifts to reduce future sinking. For critical grades or structures, hire a pro to compact and test the 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.
