Why University Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
University Park (city population 30,000) is experiencing steady growth—about 2.50% annually—bringing new homes, remodels, and yard projects across a sunny, temperate landscape. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local properties need materials that handle both heat and periodic heavy rain. That combination drives demand for reliable bulk materials to grade lots, raise low spots, and prepare stable bases for patios, driveways, and foundations. Homeowners want fill that compacts well, resists excessive settling, and supports drainage so landscaping and structures stay level through seasonal weather changes. Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice for many University Park projects because it provides bulk volume for raising grade and backfilling without the expense of engineered soils. In this climate, well-draining, low-organic fill dirt helps reduce erosion during the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while standing up to long stretches of sun. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, lets you schedule delivery that fits your timeline, and arranges professional dump-truck delivery so your project gets the right material when you need it.Popular Projects in University Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - University Park Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in University Park.
Delivered fill dirt prices in West Florida commonly range between about $12 and $35 per cubic yard, depending on supplier, distance, and haul conditions. Exact price varies with material mix, moisture, truck access, and seasonal demand, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to get a local, delivered price for University Park.
A standard tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 10–12 cubic yards loose) typically costs in the range of $120 to $420 delivered in West Florida, before any site fees or spreading services. Your final price depends on the number of yards, access, distance from the supplier, and any additional fees, so get a quote for a firm number.
A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards loose; larger trucks can hold up to 14 cubic yards, and smaller trucks carry 6–8 cubic yards. To estimate how much you need, multiply area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and divide by 27; for example, raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards, while 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is intended for grading and structural fills rather than planting. Use fill dirt to raise grade, fill low spots, or create base layers; choose topsoil when you need a growth medium for lawns, gardens, or planting beds. For plantings in University Park, add a layer of qualified topsoil on top of fill dirt or blend to meet planting needs.
For simple yard leveling and small raises, local fill dirt is commonly acceptable and used by homeowners in the area. If your project affects foundations, retaining walls, structural ramps, or is required by building code, engineered fill and compaction testing may be required—check with your local building department or a geotechnical engineer before proceeding.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth, about 54 square feet at 6 inches, or roughly 27 square feet at 12 inches. Visualizing these common depths helps plan delivery and placement when leveling low spots in a University Park yard.
The informal 70/30 rule (percent topsoil to amendment) is more relevant to creating a planting mix than to structural fill; it is not a standard for using fill dirt. For garden beds in University Park, aim for a true topsoil and organic amendments suited to plants rather than relying on a fill/topsoil blend—ask local suppliers for a planting-grade topsoil if you plan to grow plants.
Yes. Check local county/city permitting for grading, fill, stormwater, and erosion controls and verify any HOA rules about changing yard grade, visibility, or landscaping before delivery. Contact your local building or zoning office and your HOA to confirm permit requirements and restrictions for University Park projects.
Many local suppliers deliver fill dirt and some offer optional spreading or compaction services, but tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST—confirm with the supplier for exact services and lead times.
Delivery cost is driven by distance from the supplier, truck access, load size, site restrictions, and any dump fees or permits. Prepare a clear, level drop zone with adequate turning room, note overhead wires or low trees, and tell the supplier about gated access or HOA restrictions to avoid delays or extra charges.
Use Hello Gravel's online calculator or request a quote to specify the amount, delivery address, and any service needs like spreading. If you have questions about material type, compaction, or permitting, contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for local guidance and a detailed delivered price.
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.
