Fill Dirt in Green Cove Springs
The cost of delivered fill dirt depends on how many tons you need and how far the truck travels. Your ZIP code sets the delivery price at checkout, so you see the total before you order. Green Cove Springs gets about 53 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning a key part of any fill job.
Fill dirt is the workhorse material for raising grade, filling holes and backfilling. It is clean mineral soil with no organic matter, so it settles predictably and supports weight without decomposing.

How Local Conditions Affect Your Fill Dirt Job
Green Cove Springs has about 76 wet days a year, meaning at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls that often. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground avoids ruts and delays. The county also sees about 4 freezing days per year, so the ground barely moves from frost, but the work window stays wide open.
Soils mapped in the Green Cove Springs area are commonly very poorly drained. That means you may need a deeper base of crushed stone under the fill to keep water away from structures. The ground around Green Cove Springs is in dual hydrologic soil group A/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in fast and runoff is low. Where it is not drained, water moves very slowly across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere.
Order once the site is ready, because material sitting in the wrong spot gets moved twice.
Estimating How Much Fill Dirt You Need
To figure out your tonnage, measure the length, width and depth of the area in feet. Multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 2,000 to 2,500 pounds depending on moisture. Use our fill dirt calculator to get a precise number without doing the math.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt in Green Cove Springs
What is the smallest load of fill dirt you deliver to Green Cove Springs?
The smallest load we deliver is 1 ton. You can see the delivered cost for that size at checkout by entering your ZIP code. Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before the delivery date.
Does the soil around Green Cove Springs change how much fill dirt I need?
Yes, because the ground is in hydrologic soil group A/D. Where it is drained, water soaks in fast and the base may not need extra thickness. Where it is not drained, surface runoff is high and a deeper fill or drainage layer is needed. Your site drainage determines the actual requirement.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is not for planting. It is a structural material with no organic matter. For planting, order topsoil and place it on top of the fill dirt once the grade is set.
What is the difference between the sizes of fill dirt you stock?
Fill dirt is a single product sold by the ton. There are no size grades. It is a consistent mineral soil suitable for raising grade, backfill and filling holes. If you need organic material for growing, choose topsoil instead.
