Why Venus Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Venus has a city population of 710 and is part of a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a 2.50% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and Hardiness Zone 8b, homeowners here tackle outdoor projects year-round. That steady growth and favorable climate drive demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners and small contractors need materials for grading, raising low spots, backfilling foundations, and improving drainage. For many Venus projects, having the right fill dirt on-site on schedule prevents delays and reduces the risk of settlement or erosion after heavy rains.Popular Projects in Venus This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Venus Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Venus.
Typical street-market ranges in West Florida are about $10 to $30 per cubic yard (rough estimate) or roughly $12 to $40 per ton depending on moisture and source. Local hauling and driveway access in Venus can move the price, so get an exact quote from Hello Gravel — we require a minimum order of 3 tons and show final pricing at checkout.
Yes — fill dirt is usually less expensive because it contains little organic matter and is used for raising grade rather than growing plants. If you plan to grow grass or plants after grading, budget to put several inches of quality topsoil or compost on top of the fill dirt.
Fill dirt can be used to re-grade low spots and raise areas, but it will not improve sandy soil fertility by itself. In Venus you should usually add a layer of topsoil and organic matter over the fill dirt to hold moisture and support plants, and avoid doing major spreading during heavy rainy periods to reduce washout.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local haulers carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which is roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture. For coverage, one cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1-inch depth, so a 12-yard load at 4 inches depth would cover roughly 972 sq ft.
Using a common conversion (1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons), 1 ton is about 0.77 cubic yards. That will cover about 249 sq ft at 1-inch depth, 124 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 62 sq ft at 4 inches; actual coverage varies with compaction and moisture.
Some full-size pickups can hold about 1 to 2 cubic yards in the bed, but weight (payload limit) often makes this unsafe for many trucks. We recommend hiring a dump truck delivery — Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery avoids overloading your vehicle and driveway.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and create proper slope for drainage, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted for stability. In Venus remember to leave a final 4 to 6 inch layer of topsoil for grass or planting, and consider drainage given local heavy-rain seasons and sandy subsoils.
Yes, you can add fill dirt over existing soil, but prepare the area by removing debris, roots, and trash, and place the fill in 4-6 inch lifts and compact between lifts to avoid future settling. If you suspect contamination or very different material types, consider a soil inspection before covering large areas.
The least expensive options are to reuse it on-site, offer it free on local classifieds or community groups, or give it to neighbors doing landscaping. If those aren’t options, check local transfer stations or small-haul services for a removal quote; Hello Gravel focuses on delivery, so contact local haulers for removal pricing.
No — in Venus and most of Florida, 2 inches of topsoil is usually not enough for a healthy lawn. Aim for 4 to 6 inches of good topsoil with organic matter for turf establishment, and keep the topsoil layer free of large clods or buried debris.
Yes — materials in West Florida often have sandier textures, occasional shell fragments, and can drain quickly compared with clayey northern soils. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, expect local color and texture variation and add a note at checkout if you have special needs.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
