Fill Dirt in Floral Park, NY

Prices for fill-dirt deliveries to Floral Park vary by supplier, load size, and exact delivery location. Hello Gravel provides live quotes that include material cost, standard delivery (2+ business days), and any local fees—contact us or check your zip code for an up-to-date per-ton price. Factors that commonly affect the final price include distance from the supplier, minimum order (3 tons), fuel surcharges, and any special access or offload needs.

Hello Gravel works with a network of local Nassau County and Long Island suppliers and haulers who deliver fill-dirt to Floral Park and surrounding communities. We can share the supplying company for your order at checkout and coordinate delivery windows; if you need specific quarry names we can provide them once a quote is generated for your zip code. Because materials are regionally sourced, appearance and gradation may vary between suppliers.

Fill-dirt density varies with moisture and composition, but a practical rule of thumb is 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt used in residential projects. Use 1.3 tons/yd3 for quick estimates: multiply cubic yards needed by 1.3 to get tons, then round up to meet the 3-ton minimum order. If you need a precise number for engineered fills, have the contractor or soil lab measure in-place density.

Examples: to raise 500 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 9.6 tons). To level a 20 ft by 30 ft backyard by 3 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.0 tons). For driveway base lifts, plan on multiple compacted lifts (see compaction answer) and consult a contractor for final quantities.

For non-structural fill, contractors commonly compact fill-dirt to about 90% to 95% of standard proctor density in 6- to 8-inch lifts, using plate compactors for small areas and vibratory rollers for larger areas. For structural fills near foundations or load-bearing areas, a geotechnical recommendation is best—those often call for higher compaction standards, testing, and specific equipment. Always communicate compaction expectations with your contractor and note that Hello Gravel supplies material but does not guarantee compaction work.

Large fills, significant grading, or any work that alters drainage can trigger Village of Floral Park and Nassau County permits or stormwater requirements. Permitting thresholds vary, so check with the Floral Park Building Department and Nassau County Department of Public Works before placing large orders. If the project disturbs more than one acre or affects regulated wetlands, additional State or County permits and erosion-control plans may be required.

Yes. Floral Park has many residential streets and occasional local weight or seasonal restrictions; tri-axle dump trucks are typical but may be restricted from narrow roads or low-clearance areas. Winter weather, freeze-thaw conditions, or temporary road work can also change delivery routing and timing—provide driveway access details at checkout so the hauler can plan. If a permit or escort is needed for oversized loads, that may add time and fees.

Floral Park experiences freeze-thaw cycles and has areas with wet or clayey soils, which can cause settling and frost heave if fill-dirt is not properly placed, compacted, and drained. For frost-susceptible areas or structural fills, contractors often prefer well-graded granular fill or crushed stone as a base; fill-dirt is best used for bulk grading, raising low spots, and non-structural infill when properly compacted and protected from water. Consider adding drainage, geotextile fabric, or a granular cap where frost or wet conditions are a concern.

Common additional charges include fuel surcharges, next-day delivery fees (if requested), offload or labor fees if the driver must shovel or move material by hand, and residential access or narrow-street surcharges. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; any required permits, overweight escorts, or municipal fees are typically billed separately. Your quote will list applicable fees so you can review costs before confirming the order.

Yes. Hello Gravel can provide local contractor recommendations or referrals to haulers and installers familiar with Floral Park work; we coordinate material delivery with your contractor when requested. If you need a contractor for compaction, grading, or drainage work, ask our sales team and we will share experienced local professionals and installation tips for your specific project.

Yes. Placing fill on slopes can increase erosion and change stormwater runoff patterns, which may require erosion-control measures like silt fence, mulch, terracing, or retaining walls. For larger slope fills or projects near property lines and waterways, local regulations may require an erosion-control plan or permits from Floral Park or Nassau County. Work with your contractor to add appropriate stormwater controls and consult local authorities for compliance.
