Fill Dirt in Sunrise, FL

A tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 10–12 cubic yards) of fill dirt in Sunrise commonly ranges from about $300 to $900 delivered, depending on supplier, distance, and material quality. Prices trend lower for local sandier fills and higher if the material contains more clay or needs special handling. Hello Gravel can provide an exact delivered price for your address and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days or next-day in some cases for an extra fee.

Per-cubic-yard prices in Sunrise typically fall between $15 and $50 per cubic yard delivered, with variation based on material type, distance, and access. Many suppliers prefer larger minimums and charge small-load or short-haul fees for orders under a certain size; Hello Gravel lists minimums (our platform generally requires a 3-ton minimum) and can show suppliers that offer smaller deliveries when available.

A 50 x 30 ft yard is 1,500 square feet. To raise it 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 14 cubic yards; to raise it 4 inches (0.333 ft) you need about 18.5 cubic yards. Add 5–10% extra to allow for settlement and grading, and consider compaction needs if you want a stable final grade.

Fill dirt is designed to add volume and build grade but has little organic matter, so it is fine for raising low spots and establishing grades in Sunrise. For seeding or laying sod you should cover the final surface with a 2–4 inch layer of topsoil or screened topsoil because that provides nutrients and structure for grass. If you're installing drainage or want a firm surface before turf, consider a base layer and proper grading prior to topsoil.

Suppliers and drivers typically do not provide compaction as part of a standard delivery; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. Compaction is recommended for areas that will bear loads (driveways, pads, or where settlement would cause problems) and is usually done with a plate compactor or roller after placing and moistening the material. For simple grading under lawn areas, light hand raking and settling may be sufficient, but expect some additional settlement over time.

Cost varies by width, depth, and whether you hire excavation and compaction crews. For a typical 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) a rough installed range is $1,200 to $6,000: base rock and gravel materials plus delivery might be $500–$2,000, fill dirt or grade work $200–$1,000, and installation/compaction labor $500–$3,000 depending on contractor rates. Get local quotes because site access, drainage work, and material choices drive price differences in Sunrise.

A single cubic yard is a large loose volume and often exceeds what most pickup trucks can safely carry; a full-size pickup bed typically holds about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard loose but weight limits and local regulations matter. Many suppliers in Sunrise offer pickup or small-load delivery options or can recommend trailer-friendly loads, but minimums and loading rules vary—confirm with your supplier and Hello Gravel before scheduling pickup.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 162 square feet at 2" depth, 81 square feet at 4" depth, and 54 square feet at 6" depth. Use these numbers when calculating material needs, and always add 5–10% for settlement and grading adjustments in Sunrise's sandy soils.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains less organic matter and is used mainly to build up grade. For final grading before laying sod, buy fill dirt to correct elevations but finish with a layer of good topsoil (2–4 inches) to support grass growth in Sunrise's climate and soil conditions. If budget is tight, use fill dirt to set grades and only buy enough topsoil to create a proper planting layer.

A delivered 20 cubic yard order in Sunrise typically ranges from about $400 to $1,500 depending on the supplier, distance, material type, and any access or small-load fees. Lead times through Hello Gravel are usually 2+ business days for standard delivery; next-day options may be available for an additional fee if you place the order early enough.
