Why St. Johns County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
St. Johns County has a population of 300,000 and continues to expand with a growth rate of 0.69% annually. With a warm climate in hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and an annual rainfall of 33.69 inches, the county supports year-round landscaping and construction activity. That steady growth and favorable weather mean ongoing demand for grading, lot preparation, driveway build-ups, and erosion control—projects where reliable fill-dirt matters. Homeowners look for clean, low-organic fill that compacts consistently to raise low areas, backfill foundations, and improve drainage; using the wrong material or poor compaction can cause settling, drainage failures, and costly repairs down the line.Popular Projects in St. Johns County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - St. Johns County Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in St. Johns County.
Prices vary by supplier and material, but in St. Johns County a delivered cubic yard of basic fill dirt typically ranges from $12 to $30 per cubic yard. Costs depend on whether the dirt is screened, moisture content, haul distance, and local demand; use Hello Gravel’s zip-code quote tool for an exact price.
Fill dirt weight varies with soil type and moisture, but in St. Johns County one cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.1 to 1.4 tons. For ordering and truckload planning, assume about 1.2 tons per cubic yard unless your supplier gives a specific density.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains less organic matter and requires less processing. If you need planting or turf-friendly material, budget for topsoil or a thin layer of screened topsoil over the fill, which adds cost.
For St. Augustine, use well-compacted, screened fill dirt to raise low areas, then finish with 3–4 inches of screened topsoil or planting mix before laying sod. Fill dirt alone lacks nutrients and organic matter, so the thin topsoil layer helps the grass establish and reduces settling issues.
A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used in St. Johns County holds about 10 to 14 cubic yards loose, which equals roughly 12 to 17 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and density. Exact capacity can vary by truck and local weight limits, so confirm with your delivery coordinator when you order.
One ton of fill dirt is about 0.8–0.9 cubic yards and will cover roughly 80–100 square feet at a 3-inch depth, depending on compaction. Always order 5–10% extra to allow for settling and spreading losses.
Yes, buying bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged material, especially for projects larger than a few cubic yards. Hello Gravel’s delivery minimum is 3 tons, so bulk works best for medium to large jobs; for very small repairs, bags might be more practical despite higher per-volume cost.
A standard garden wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 9 wheelbarrow loads. If your wheelbarrow is smaller or larger, expect between about 8 and 13 loads per cubic yard.
Using local typical rates, 10 cubic yards of basic fill dirt delivered in St. Johns County will usually fall between $120 and $300, plus any fees for next-day delivery or special spreading requests. Exact pricing depends on material type, screening, haul distance, and current market rates; get a zip-code based quote for accuracy.
Expect a tri-axle dump truck to carry about 12 to 17 tons of fill dirt, depending on the truck size and soil moisture. For heavy or wet soils, the same volume will weigh more, and local road weight limits may affect load sizes.
Fill dirt can settle over time, is usually low in organic matter and nutrients, and can create poor turf-growing conditions if used as the finished surface. In St. Johns County’s sandy coastal soils, poor drainage or improper compaction can also cause erosion or uneven settling, so plan to cap with topsoil and compact in lifts.
Remove debris and thatch, then add screened fill dirt in 2–4 inch lifts, lightly compacting each lift to reduce future settling. Finish with 3–4 inches of screened topsoil or planting mix, level, and reinstall sod or sprigs during the grass’s active growing season so the lawn recovers quickly.
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.
