Fill Dirt we deliver in Hastings
Fill Dirt in Hastings
St. Johns County issued permits for about 4,915 single-family homes in 2024. Many of those new lots need the ground brought up to grade before anything else can happen. Fill dirt from Gravel Monkey is the material for that job.
It is the same stuff that goes under slabs and behind retaining walls. It has no organic content, so it settles evenly and stays put.

Local Conditions That Affect Your Fill Dirt Job in Hastings
Hastings gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any grading project. The ground here receives at least a tenth of an inch of rain on about 77 days a year. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is easier when the weather has been dry for a few days.
Soils mapped in the Hastings area are commonly poorly drained. That means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on where you are working. The ground around Hastings is in dual hydrologic group A/D. Where it is drained it soaks water up quickly and produces little runoff; where it is not, water runs across the surface. Figuring out which side of that line your site is on is worth doing before you order. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in many other places.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. Freezing temperatures occur about 4 days a year below 32F, so the work window is essentially year-round, but the frost line is shallow enough that ground movement is rarely an issue.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fill Dirt in Hastings
Do you deliver fill dirt to Hastings and the surrounding area?
Yes. Gravel Monkey delivers to Hastings and all areas we serve in St. Johns County and nearby towns. St. Johns County permitted about 4,915 single-family homes in 2024, so we deliver to many new construction sites and residential lots across the county.
How much does fill dirt delivery cost in Hastings?
The delivered price depends on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. You see the exact price at checkout after entering your address. Hastings gets about 54 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage work is common, and the price covers delivery by dump truck direct to your site.
How deep should the layer be for planting?
Fill dirt is not for planting. Use topsoil as the top 4 to 6 inches for grass, beds or gardens. Fill dirt goes underneath to raise the grade or fill holes.
How long before I can plant or seed on it?
Fill dirt settles over time. If you are using it as a base under topsoil, you can plant as soon as the topsoil is placed and graded. For bare fill dirt, wait through a few rain cycles or compact it before putting anything on top.
