Why Henderson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Henderson has a city population of 32,520 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million people. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, local housing and yard projects are expanding, which increases demand for reliable bulk materials. The climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions where yards face both wet periods and prolonged sun, so homeowners need fill materials that compact well and resist future settling. For grading, foundation backfill, raising low spots, and building base layers for patios and driveways, quality fill dirt with low organic content and consistent texture reduces the risk of future sinking and drainage problems. Choosing locally sourced material helps ensure it reflects Henderson’s soil and geological conditions.Popular Projects in Henderson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Henderson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Henderson.
Fill dirt is soil with low organic matter used to raise or level ground, backfill trenches, and build up subgrades. In Henderson (population 32,520) you would use it for grading a yard, filling low spots before sod or gravel installation, and backfilling around foundations or retaining walls. It is not intended for garden beds or planting because it lacks nutrients and organic content.
Prices vary by supplier and local availability, but delivered fill dirt to Henderson typically ranges from about $10 to $35 per ton, with whole-truck loads often priced by the cubic yard or truck load. Hello Gravel’s marketplace provides local quotes and transparent pricing for your zip code, and our minimum order is 3 tons. For an accurate cost for your job, get a quote through our site or call our team.
A common tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of material. One cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, so a 10-cubic-yard load covers about 3,240 square feet at 1 inch or about 540 square feet at 6 inches. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to convert your project dimensions into cubic yards before ordering.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains little or no organic matter and is valued for bulk volume rather than planting quality. Topsoil is screened and rich in organics, which raises its price. If you need planting or a lawn, budget for topsoil or a topsoil/topdressing mix rather than fill dirt.
Fill dirt can be used as a structural subgrade or to raise the base for a driveway, but it should not be the wearing surface. For a durable driveway, place and compact fill dirt to the required elevation and then add a properly graded gravel base and surface stone. Typical practice is 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill or subgrade, then several inches of compacted base gravel and surface material depending on driveway use.
Buying in bulk from local suppliers and scheduling standard delivery windows usually yields the best price. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and transparent delivery rates, check for free delivery promos in your zip code, and order during weekdays or off-peak seasons when rates can be lower. Also combine orders with neighbors or contractors to reduce per-yard hauling costs.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Henderson and surrounding West North Carolina areas. Enter your zip code on our site to see available fill dirt options, pricing, and delivery dates, or call our sales team for help selecting the right material for your project. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary by supplier.
For most yard leveling or fill behind foundations, place fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each lift before adding more to avoid future settling. If you need to raise a large area, plan for multiple compacted layers rather than a single thick deposit. If you have structural or engineered fill needs, consult a local contractor or engineer for site-specific recommendations.
No, fill dirt is not recommended for gardening or planting because it lacks organic matter and nutrients plants need to thrive. For garden beds and lawns, use screened topsoil or a blend specifically labeled for planting. You can cap fill dirt with several inches of quality topsoil if you must raise grade before planting.
Look for clean, compactable material with minimal organic material, large debris, or trash. Suppliers may label it as structural fill, clean fill, or fill dirt; ask about source and whether it contains roots or construction waste. Also request delivery and spreading options and confirm the truck type and capacity to match your site access.
Order through the Hello Gravel website by entering your project zip code, choosing fill dirt, and selecting a delivery date on the checkout calendar. Standard delivery requires at least 2 business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but the driver will determine if it can be done safely on arrival.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture can vary from photos or samples, which is normal for natural materials. If you have concerns about the material after delivery, contact our customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue in line with our policies. If you need a specific texture or color, add notes to your order or contact our sales team before purchase.
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.
