Why Tallahassee Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tallahassee's city population is 226,326 and the area is growing at 3.00% annually. Located in northern Florida, the city averages 228 sunny days per year and receives about 32.00 inches of rainfall annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. That steady growth plus a sunny, occasionally wet climate drives demand for residential grading, lot prep, and drainage work as homeowners renovate yards, add patios, and prepare building pads. Homeowners look for dependable aggregates because the right fill material reduces settling, improves drainage, and creates a stable base for landscaping, driveways, and small foundations. Whether you are regrading to direct runoff away from a house or building up a low area for a new lawn, choosing the correct fill dirt helps avoid costly repairs down the road.Popular Projects in Tallahassee This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tallahassee Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tallahassee.
Delivered prices for fill dirt in Tallahassee typically range from $25 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on supply, delivery distance, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing at checkout for your zip code; orders start at 3 tons minimum and delivery fees may be waived in many areas.
A 10-yard load of fill dirt in Tallahassee usually costs roughly $250 to $550 delivered, depending on material source, truck access, and any additional services like tailgate spreading. For an exact quote, enter your address on Hello Gravel to see local supplier rates and available delivery dates.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.17 cubic yards of fill dirt. We recommend rounding up to 7 cubic yards to account for settling and compaction.
A standard full-size pickup truck bed typically holds about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard loosely, but safe payload limits often restrict you below one yard of compacted fill dirt. For orders over 1 cubic yard or when you need fast, clean delivery, ordering a dump truck through Hello Gravel is more reliable in Tallahassee due to local truck availability.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains fewer organic materials. In Tallahassee, fill dirt is the go-to for bulk grading and raising elevations, while topsoil is preferred for planting and lawns.
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 81 square feet at one inch thickness. A ton of fill dirt varies by moisture and composition, but in Tallahassee expect roughly 0.6 to 0.7 cubic yards per ton.
Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base. In Tallahassee's clay-influenced soils and rainy season, aim for at least 6 to 8 inches of compacted structural fill or aggregate base before paving or topping with gravel.
Order in 10-yard increments when possible, schedule standard delivery at least two business days out, and choose local material to reduce haul distance. Provide clear drop location and request tailgate spreading in order notes; confirm with support for best pricing in Tallahassee.
A 10-yard concrete truck in Florida typically runs several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on mix and distance. Pairing concrete with fill dirt delivery rarely saves money because mixers operate on tight schedules; coordinate separately and check local supplier availability in Tallahassee.
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.
