Why Sun City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sun City has a city population of 537 and sits within a rapidly expanding West Florida metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With an annual growth rate of 2.50%, a mild coastal climate in hardiness zone 8b, and about 228 sunny days per year, local development and landscaping demand is on the rise. Homeowners and contractors here are increasingly tackling grading, yard re-leveling, and foundation prep projects that need dependable earth materials. That growth, combined with Florida's development patterns, makes access to consistent aggregates important—poor-quality fill can lead to uneven settling, drainage problems, and extra rework on projects from patios to utility trenches. Fill dirt is a low-organic, compactable material well-suited to Sun City’s conditions. In an area that averages 34.00 inches of rain annually, properly placed and compacted fill dirt improves grade control and reduces water pooling around structures. It works well under driveways, raised garden beds, and building pads where you need stable, inexpensive mass fill rather than topsoil. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right fill by connecting you with local suppliers, offering transparent pricing, and scheduling dump-truck delivery so your project gets the correct material on time.Popular Projects in Sun City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sun City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sun City.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Sun City typically range from $12 to $30 per cubic yard depending on supplier, distance, and whether material is screened or has high clay content. For common truckloads: a 10-yard delivery usually costs between $120 and $300; a 20-yard load (where available) runs about $240 to $600. Exact prices vary by supplier and delivery fees; check Hello Gravel for local quotes and scheduled delivery options.
A dump truck load (commonly 10-12 cubic yards for a tri-axle in West Florida) is priced similarly to per-yard pricing but may include a single minimum delivery fee. Ordering a truckload often gives a slightly lower per-yard rate than small yard orders because suppliers prefer full loads. Expect a 10-12 yard truck delivery in Sun City to cost roughly $120 to $360 total, depending on material type and distance.
Both local aggregate suppliers and big-box stores like Lowe's may deliver to Sun City, but local suppliers and haulers contracted through Hello Gravel are usually more economical for bulk orders. Big-box stores are convenient for very small amounts but often charge higher per-yard prices and additional delivery fees for larger amounts. For jobs over a few cubic yards, local suppliers booked through Hello Gravel typically offer better pricing and scheduling.
Use fill dirt for bulk grading, raising elevations, or filling holes where vegetation will not be directly planted. For establishing grass or gardens in Sun City's sandy, coastal soils, topsoil or a mix of topsoil over fill dirt is better for plant growth. Engineered fill is recommended for load-bearing areas or projects requiring compaction and testing, like patios or retaining walls.
Yes, fill dirt is typically cheaper than topsoil in Sun City because it contains less organic material and is used for structural fill rather than planting. Use fill dirt for bulk raising or grading, and topsoil only where you will be growing grass or plants. Expect topsoil costs to be noticeably higher per cubic yard than basic fill dirt.
Measure the length and width of the area and the desired depth in feet, then multiply and divide by 27 to get cubic yards: (L x W x depth in feet) / 27. For small Sun City yards, adding 2 inches across 500 square feet needs about 3 cubic yards; raising a small backyard by 6 inches over 1,000 square feet needs about 18 cubic yards. Add 5-10% extra for compaction and settling.
A standard half-ton pickup truck with a bed loaded to safe capacity can carry roughly 0.5 to 0.75 cubic yards of fill dirt; overloading is unsafe and often restricted. For most projects in Sun City, ordering delivery by dump truck (minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel) is safer and more efficient, especially for jobs needing multiple cubic yards.
Coverage per cubic yard: 2 inches depth covers about 162 square feet, 4 inches covers about 81 square feet, and 6 inches covers about 54 square feet. Use these estimates for Sun City projects and round up to account for compaction and uneven spread.
Typical terms in West Florida: Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons (check zip for availability); standard delivery usually has no extra fee for many areas but expect delivery surcharges for long hauls or next-day service. Local suppliers may charge small dumping or site fees in constrained lots; always check your Hello Gravel quote for specific fees and confirm tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion.
Most suppliers and dump drivers provide only delivery; optional tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. For compaction, precise grading, or installing lawns and hardscapes in Sun City, hire a landscaper or contractor who can provide spreading, compaction with equipment, and final grading to local standards.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your 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.
