How much do shell rock, base rock and fill dirt cost?
Everything is sold by the cubic yard and comes by dump truck. A truckload is 15 to 17 yards, depending on the material. These are ballpark material prices. They move with the load and the distance, so call or text for an exact number. Have it dropped, pick it up, or have us spread and grade it.

Which rock do I need for my job?
It depends on where the rock goes. Here is the short version. If you are not sure, text a photo and we will tell you.
Under a driveway or pad
Base rock or crushed concrete. Both pack firm. Four inches packed is the usual base.
On top of a driveway
Shell rock for the classic bright look, asphalt millings for a lower cost, pea rock for a smooth finish.
Where water has to move
57 rock drains straight through. Rip rap holds banks and ditch edges against washouts.
Low spots and yards
#2 fill builds ground up in volume. #1 fill goes on top so grass will grow.
Want the rock spread and packed too? Build a driveway with our photo picker and price builder, see fill dirt delivery, get a job price on the prices page, or work out how many loads you need with the calculators.
We confirm the exact price within 24 hours of your texted photos.
What is the difference between #1 and #2 fill dirt?
#1 fill is clean, screened sandy soil with no rocks or roots. Use it for the top layer under sod and for leveling yards. #2 fill is unscreened and costs less. Use it to build ground up in volume, like house pads and deep low spots.
What should I use to fill a low spot?
Use #2 fill to build up anything deeper than about a foot, then finish with #1 fill on top so grass will grow. For shallow dips under 2 inches, a top dressing of sand or topsoil is enough.
How much does fill dirt cost delivered?
Ballpark, #1 fill is $20–$24 per yard and #2 fill is $19–$23 per yard, delivered. Price moves with load size and distance. Call or text 561-262-4700 for an exact price.
Do you just deliver fill dirt, or spread and grade it too?
Either. We can drop a load for you to spread yourself, or bring the Bobcat, spread it and finish the grade.
Does fill dirt drain well?
Yes. Florida fill dirt is mostly sand, so water moves through it. Clean #1 fill drains better than topsoil or muck, which is why it goes under sod in wet yards.
How many yards of fill dirt do I need?
Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27. A 20 by 30 foot area raised 6 inches needs about 11 yards. Send us the measurements and we will work it out.
How many cubic yards are in a truckload?
One of our dump truck loads is 15 to 17 cubic yards, depending on the material. Heavy rock like base rock and #57 runs about 15 yards a load. Lighter fill dirt and topsoil run 16 to 17.
