Fill Dirt in Union Park, FL

A tri-axle dump truck load of fill dirt in Union Park typically contains about 10–12 cubic yards and usually costs between $250 and $700 delivered, depending on material type, distance, and season. Prices vary with supplier and moisture/compaction of the dirt; exact pricing is available by getting a quote through Hello Gravel. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee.

Yes — fill dirt is generally less expensive than topsoil in Union Park because it is subsoil with little organic matter and requires less processing. Use fill dirt for grading and building up low spots, then cap with topsoil if you plan to plant grass or gardens. Always check product descriptions when ordering, since regional materials and screening can affect price.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. Spread out: it covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Use these figures to estimate how many yards you need for grading or filling low spots.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube — roughly the size of a small SUV cargo area. In Union Park's generally sandy/clayey mixes, 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons (about 2,400–3,000 lb), depending on moisture and compaction. Ask your supplier if weight is critical for driveway loading or truck access.

A typical tri-axle delivery used by Hello Gravel carries roughly 10–12 cubic yards of fill dirt, though exact capacity depends on the truck. Before ordering, check access (driveway width, overhead wires, yard slope) and note drivers deliver from the street; tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion. If access is tight, consider a smaller dump truck or multiple smaller loads and discuss options with our team.

Most full-size pickups can carry about 0.5–1.0 cubic yard of loose fill dirt, but payload weight limits and local road laws matter. Because Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by dump truck, pickup delivery is uncommon; if you need a small amount, ask Customer Service for supplier options or local landscape stores. Overloading a pickup can be unsafe and illegal, so check your truck's payload rating first.

For 20 cubic yards, expect to pay roughly $800 to $2,000 delivered in Union Park, depending on material type, supplier availability, and hauling distance. Bulk discounts and seasonal demand can change the final price; get a precise quote from Hello Gravel for your zip code and desired delivery date. We handle supplier coordination and can break larger orders into multiple truckloads if needed.

Yes — fill dirt is appropriate for raising grades, filling holes, and building subgrade for lawns or hardscapes in Union Park. However, it is not a planting medium: after grading with fill dirt you should add 4–6 inches of topsoil before seeding or planting to ensure healthy turf and plants. Also compact in lifts for stability and avoid creating drainage issues or altering neighbor runoff; check local ordinances if you're changing drainage patterns.

Wheelbarrow capacity varies, but using a common 6 cu ft wheelbarrow, 1 cubic yard (27 cu ft) is about 4.5 wheelbarrows. If your wheelbarrow is smaller (around 3 cu ft), expect about 9 loads. Plan labor and time accordingly when moving material by hand.

Because 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 2,400–3,000 lb, it equates to roughly 60 to 75 bags of material at 40 lb each. Bulk delivery by dump truck is almost always more cost-effective than buying many small bags for larger jobs in Union Park. If you only need a few bags, check local landscape suppliers for bagged fill products.

To estimate: for a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 6-inch base depth, you need about 18.5 cubic yards (100 x 10 x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft = 18.5 yd3). Adjust quantity for your required depth (4–8 inches) and compaction: contractors often order 10–20% extra for settling and compaction. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick, site-specific estimate.

Plan deliveries during drier months when ground is firm — typically late fall through spring in Central Florida — to reduce tracking and compaction problems. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during rainy or hurricane season when trucks may get stuck and material can become muddy. If you must work during wet periods, discuss timing and staging with your supplier and driver to reduce site disruption.
