Why Hope Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hope Mills, with a population of 33,920, sits in a growing part of West North Carolina that is seeing steady demand for home improvement and infill projects as the region expands. The surrounding metro area supports roughly 2.3+ million people and a 2.80% annual growth rate, which together drive residential construction, grading, and landscaping needs. With an average of 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners in Hope Mills need materials that handle both wet-season compaction and long, sunny spells. That explains why local property owners often look for reliable, well-graded fill dirt to raise grades, stabilize foundations, or prepare beds for patios and driveways. Fill dirt is a straightforward, cost-effective material for reshaping yards and creating stable bases for structures in Hope Mills’s climate. Because local soils can compact differently after heavy rains, clean, well-graded fill dirt helps minimize settlement and improve drainage when placed and compacted correctly. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver the right volume on schedule, with transparent pricing and delivery options (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available). We make it easier to get locally sourced fill dirt that reflects regional geology and performs reliably for common projects around Hope Mills.Popular Projects in Hope Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hope Mills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hope Mills.
Yes. Fill dirt is typically less expensive than topsoil because it contains little organic matter and is used mainly to build grade and fill voids rather than for planting. In Hope Mills you should expect to pay less per cubic yard or ton for fill dirt than for screened, organic topsoil, though prices vary by supplier and delivery distance.
Prices vary by supplier and season, but in the Hope Mills/Fayetteville area fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per ton delivered for typical small orders. Final cost depends on moisture content, local availability, delivery distance, and any minimum-order or truck fees.
You can order local fill dirt through Hello Gravel, which connects you with suppliers and dump truck delivery in the Hope Mills and Fayetteville area. Check zip code availability on our site or call 855-241-8884 to get quotes from nearby quarries and haulers.
A single truck load price depends on truck size, material, and travel distance; typical tri-axle loads in the region often fall between about $200 and $700. For an accurate quote, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team since heavier or longer-haul jobs and next-day delivery can raise the price.
Capacities vary by truck type. A common tri-axle dump truck used in our network often carries roughly 12 to 18 cubic yards, which for fill dirt translates to about 15 to 25 tons depending on moisture and compaction; smaller contractor trucks hold less. For exact payloads and delivery sizing, ask Hello Gravel for the truck type assigned to your order.
Many full-size pickup beds can carry roughly 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard of loose material, but weight is the limiting factor: 1 cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons (about 2,400 to 2,800 lb). Check your truck's payload rating before hauling to avoid overloading and local road restrictions; for larger jobs, delivery by dump truck is safer and often cheaper.
Yes — buying fill dirt in bulk is usually much cheaper per cubic yard than purchasing bagged dirt because you avoid packaging costs and can buy at truckload quantities. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which makes bulk delivery practical for most yard projects and grading jobs in Hope Mills.
Fill dirt alone is not suitable for establishing lawns because it lacks organic matter and nutrients. Two inches of topsoil is generally not enough for healthy grass; aim for 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil over your fill dirt for lawns, and use topsoil when seeding or sodding to improve germination and root development.
Fill dirt is natural soil used to raise grade and fill voids; it contains fines and may compact well but is not intended for drainage or structural bases. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, bases, and surface material. Use fill dirt to build elevation and compact, then add gravel where you need drainage or a stable driving surface.
For general landscaping in the Hope Mills area, choose clean, well-graded fill dirt that is free of roots, debris, and large organic material so it compacts reliably. If you need planting areas on top, bring in a layer of quality topsoil or a loam blend before planting; for structural fills or around foundations, follow any engineer or inspector recommendations for compaction and material type.
You may need fill dirt to build proper grade and support under a new driveway, especially to raise low spots or achieve proper slope for drainage. After grading with fill dirt, install a compacted gravel base (commonly 3 to 6 inches of crushed stone for residential driveways) before the final surface; Hello Gravel can supply both fill dirt and gravel for coordinated delivery.
Hope Mills is generally in USDA planting zone 8a, with a warm, humid climate that can cause clayey or sandy local soils to behave differently when compacted or when supporting plants. Because local fill dirt reflects regional geology, expect sandy or mixed sandy-clay fill; if you plan planting, cover fill dirt with topsoil and pick plants suited to zone 8a conditions.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (typically 3 tons) and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day delivery available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion; always add delivery notes and check local access and load placement needs before delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
