Fill Dirt in Westlake, FL

Prices vary by supplier, truck size, and distance, but expect roughly $200 to $700 for a single dump-truck load delivered in West Florida.

Contact Hello Gravel for a precise delivered quote to Westlake, since we display local pricing and delivery fees up front.

Yes, plain fill dirt is usually cheaper than screened topsoil because it has less organic matter and is not finished for planting. For grading and raising low spots in Westlake, fill dirt can be cost-effective, but if you plan to seed or grow a lawn you will still need a layer of topsoil or amended soil on top for proper plant growth.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet — roughly a pile 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft. That equals about 9 wheelbarrows if your wheelbarrow holds 3 cu ft, and it is roughly 1 load for a small contractor pickup (a standard full-size pickup bed usually holds 1/2 to 1 cubic yard loose, depending on bed depth and how high you load it). For reliable delivery, Hello Gravel lists materials in tons or cubic yards so you can match your needs.

Local prices in West Florida typically range from about $15 to $45 per cubic yard delivered, depending on material quality and distance. For weight pricing, fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard in this region, so convert using that range when suppliers quote by the ton.

Twenty cubic yards will often qualify for bulk pricing; expect per-yard rates to drop compared with small orders. As a rough estimate in West Florida, 20 yards might run from $300 to $900 total depending on material and delivery — contact Hello Gravel for current bulk pricing and any volume discounts from local suppliers. We negotiate with local haulers, so we can show the best available options for a 20-yard delivery to Westlake.

Fill dirt is fine for raising grades and filling low spots, but it is not a suitable finished surface for lawns or driveways without proper preparation. For a driveway you should use engineered base materials (crushed stone or road base) compacted in layers over a stable subgrade; for lawns, add 4–6 inches of topsoil or amended soil on top of fill dirt for planting in Westlake's sandy climate.

A full-size pickup can usually carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt safely, depending on bed size and legal weight limits. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small-quantity needs may require hiring a local supplier directly or making multiple trips; check our site for suppliers who offer small deliveries or consider pickup if you have an appropriately rated truck.

One cubic yard (27 cu ft) covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Use these figures to estimate how many yards you need for grading or backfill in Westlake, and add 5–10% extra for settling and compaction, especially in wet Florida soils.

Costs vary by width, depth, material choice, and labor, but a basic estimate for a 100-ft long driveway (10 ft wide) with a compacted fill dirt subgrade and 4 inches of crushed gravel might range from $1,200 to $4,000 in West Florida including delivery. Final price depends on site access, existing grade work, compaction, and whether drainage work is needed; request a detailed quote from Hello Gravel and local contractors for an accurate job estimate in Westlake.

The lowest unit cost is usually bulk delivery by dump truck when you need multiple yards, because hauling and per-yard pricing scale better for larger loads. For very small amounts, picking up with a truck can be cheaper but takes time and may require multiple trips; contractor install adds labor and equipment costs but can save money if you need grading, compaction, or spreading. Use Hello Gravel to compare delivered prices and choose the option that fits your project size and budget.

DIY installation is possible for small, simple projects — you will need tools (shovels, rakes), a plate compactor or roller, and to check for underground utilities before digging. Hello Gravel can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading and compaction are at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed; for proper compaction and grading on larger jobs, hiring a local contractor is recommended.

In West Florida, fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, depending on moisture and sand/clay content. Use 1.2 tons/yd3 as a practical average for converting between cubic yards and tons when checking quotes, and ask suppliers for their specific weight assumptions on delivered estimates to Westlake.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
