Why Welaka Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Welaka homeowners (population 950) are part of a region seeing steady demand for building and landscaping materials as nearby communities grow at a 2.50% annual rate. The local climate — a mild Hardiness Zone 8b with about 228 sunny days/year and roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually — supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates a need to manage drainage and settling. That combination of sun, periodic heavy rain, and ongoing residential activity means more grading, yard rework, foundation backfill, and erosion control. Homeowners and small contractors in Welaka often look for fill dirt that compacts well, has low organic content, and behaves predictably after delivery so projects stay on schedule and perform through seasonal weather swings. In Welaka's mix of sun and rain, fill dirt is a practical, cost-effective material for raising grades, backfilling foundations, and stabilizing landscape beds. Properly compacted fill dirt helps reduce settling and erosion under 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and it pairs well with drainage solutions for long-term stability. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, shows transparent pricing, and schedules dump-truck delivery with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; request tailgate spreading at checkout and drivers will assess feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in Welaka This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Welaka Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Welaka.
Delivered prices vary, but expect roughly $25 to $60 per cubic yard in the West Florida (Welaka) area depending on supply, distance, and order size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; exact delivered price for your address is available by checking your zip code or requesting a quote.
One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 81 sq ft at 4", and 54 sq ft at 6". Plan on adding about 10% extra for compaction and settling when ordering.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it lacks organic matter. In West Florida you can expect topsoil to cost roughly 20% to 60% more per cubic yard than fill dirt; choose topsoil if you plan to seed or plant, and fill dirt for structural grading and backfill.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards. At local delivered rates that usually translates to roughly $300 to $800 for a single truckload in the Welaka/West Florida area, but final price depends on yards hauled, travel distance, and local supplier rates.
Use this rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in feet) / 27. Example: a 1,000 sq ft area at 4" needs about 12.4 cubic yards (1000 * 0.333 ft / 27). Convert to tons using local density (roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture), so that example is about 15 to 20 tons.
Yes, fill dirt can be used to level and grade a backyard, but it should be compacted in layers and finished with topsoil for planting. Delivery follows Hello Gravel timing and minimums; spreading may be requested at checkout but is at the driver's discretion — professional spreading/compaction typically runs from about $50 to $200+ per hour or $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft depending on scope and local contractor rates.
For larger quantities, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective per cubic yard because you avoid multiple trips. Local pickup can be cheapest for very small loads if you have the right vehicle, while contractor haul combines materials and labor and is often more expensive but saves time and effort. Hello Gravel’s platform helps compare delivered pricing and local pickup options for your zip code.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days with many areas offering free delivery; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact fees and lead times depend on supplier availability and your zip code, so confirm during checkout.
Using a 12 cubic yard example truck: at 2" depth one truck covers about 1,944 sq ft (162 sq ft per yd), at 3" about 1,296 sq ft, and at 4" about 972 sq ft. Truck sizes vary (10 to 14 yd typical), and you should add 10% for compaction and settling when planning coverage.
Volume needed is about 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 * 0.5 ft / 27), so expect roughly 18 to 20 cubic yards to allow for compaction. At local delivered rates ($25 to $60/yd) materials and delivery would be approximately $475 to $1,140; professional spreading and compaction could add several hundred dollars depending on contractor rates. For an exact quote, check your zip code or contact Hello Gravel with project details.
Yes. Welaka and surrounding West Florida soils tend to be sandy with a relatively high water table in low-lying areas near the St. Johns River, so fill can settle or affect drainage. For large grade changes, changes near wetlands, or where flood elevation matters, check local permitting and consider engineered or structural fill, compaction testing, and drainage planning.
Measure the area and depth, then add 10% for compaction and settling before ordering. Check the zip code for available suppliers, note preferred delivery placement in Order Notes, request tailgate spreading at checkout if wanted (driver will assess), and contact Hello Gravel’s team for help with calculations or local recommendations.
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.

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.
