Why Shalimar Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shalimar homeowners are working in a growing, sun-rich environment: city population 9,870 with a regional metro area population 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 2.50% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, local development favors steady residential expansion and frequent landscaping updates. That growth creates steady demand for reliable aggregates—whether for grading a yard, raising garden beds, or filling low spots ahead of planting or construction. Homeowners choose quality materials to avoid settling, ensure proper drainage, and speed project timelines, and that starts with the right fill dirt for local soils and weather patterns.Popular Projects in Shalimar This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shalimar Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shalimar.
Fill dirt is clean, compactable soil with low organic content used to raise grades, fill holes, and build foundations for patios, driveways, and landscaping. In Shalimar, FL, it’s commonly used to level yards or raise areas where sandy native soils won’t hold grade. It is not intended as planting soil or finished surface material.
Prices vary by supplier and season, but in the West Florida area you can expect fill dirt to range roughly from $10 to $35 per cubic yard delivered. Costs depend on local supply, distance, and whether the material is screened or contains clay; contact Hello Gravel for a location-specific quote and our minimum 3-ton order policy.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards of fill dirt; delivered load prices in the Shalimar area often fall in the several-hundred-dollar to low-thousand-dollar range depending on material and distance. For an accurate delivered price and available delivery dates, request a quote on Hello Gravel (check your zip code and note minimum order sizes).
Yes, generally fill dirt is cheaper than crushed gravel or stone because it is untreated soil without rock processing. That said, costs depend on local supply and whether gravel is required for structural or drainage purposes—choose material based on function, not price alone.
Fill dirt is mostly soil meant to raise and shape ground and compact well; gravel is rock used for drainage, structural base, and finished surfaces. In Shalimar projects you’ll often use fill dirt to build grade and then add gravel or crushed stone as a stable, permeable base for driveways or walkways.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. To visualize coverage: at 6 inches deep one cubic yard covers about 54 square feet; at 12 inches it covers about 27 square feet. Fill dirt weight varies, but a rough range is 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so 1 ton covers roughly 35–50 square feet at 6 inches depth depending on density.
Calculate needed volume by multiplying your area (square feet) by desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, to raise a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches (0.25 ft): 1,000 x 0.25 / 27 = about 9.3 cubic yards. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons and your quote will convert yards to tons for delivery planning.
No, fill dirt is low in organic matter and not suitable as a planting medium. For garden beds and lawns, follow the 70/30 rule by mixing roughly 70% good topsoil with 30% compost or soil amendment, or place several inches of quality topsoil over compacted fill dirt before planting.
No. Fill dirt is not a recommended surface or structural base for driveways. Driveways need a compacted granular base (crushed stone/gravel) several inches thick—typically 4–8 inches or more depending on use—so use fill dirt only to adjust grade before installing the proper base material.
Buying bulk from a local supplier and ordering by the cubic yard or by the truckload is usually the most economical approach. Hello Gravel connects you with local haulers to minimize haul distance; you can also ask suppliers about re-use material from nearby projects but always check quality and contamination before accepting free fill.
Yes—proper compaction is important to avoid settling later. Place fill dirt in 4–8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or appropriate equipment; avoid large uncompacted fills near structures and consider hiring a contractor for larger grade raises.
Yes. Coastal West Florida soils are often sandy with a relatively high water table, so drainage and compaction behavior may differ from inland areas. Check local building and zoning rules before changing finished grades near property lines or wetlands, and add geotechnical advice for large fills or structures.
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.
