Why Davidson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Davidson, with a population of 20,676, is growing steadily and requires reliable materials for both new construction and homeowner projects. The area’s 2.80% annual growth, 228 sunny days per year, and moderate climate (hardiness zone 8b) are driving renovations, yard regrades, and small-lot infill work that need consistent, stable base materials. Homeowners here often face shifting soils and seasonal runoff, so they look for dependable aggregates that simplify grading, backfill, and lawn or patio preparation. Fill Dirt is a common choice because it provides a dense, workable subgrade that supports structures and landscaping while helping to manage drainage in yards that see regular precipitation and sun exposure.Popular Projects in Davidson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Davidson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Davidson.
Costs vary by supplier, distance to the job, and material source, but expect roughly $12 to $35 per ton delivered for basic fill dirt in the Davidson area.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers that serve Davidson and the greater West North Carolina region; specific suppliers depend on your zip code and current inventory.

Fill dirt is useful to raise grade or fill low spots, but it is not a durable wearing surface on Piedmont clay. For driveways in Davidson we recommend a compacted fill dirt subgrade topped by a well-graded crushed stone base (for example 3/4" crushed stone) and proper geotextile; this combination manages the sticky, moisture-prone clay better than fill dirt alone.
Untreated fill dirt can hold moisture and cause poor drainage near foundations in Davidson's humid subtropical climate, increasing risk of wet basements or heaving. Use well-compacted granular fill or engineered backfill and slope soil away from foundations at a minimum 5% grade, and incorporate drainage solutions like perforated pipe and gravel where needed.
On hilly sites near Lake Norman, place fill dirt in 6" to 8" lifts and compact each layer to reduce future settling and erosion, using a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger fills. Also use terracing, silt fences, geotextile where slopes are steep, and avoid placing wet material during heavy rain to minimize slumping.
Estimates: a 100 ft x 10 ft driveway with 6" of fill is about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 24 tons); regrading 2" over a 2,000 sq ft yard is about 12.3 cubic yards (about 16 tons); a 4' x 8' raised bed 1' deep is about 1.2 cubic yards (around 1.5 tons). These use a typical conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt; use Hello Gravel's calculator for exact amounts for your site.
You may need permits for significant grading or driveway changes in Davidson and Mecklenburg County, and many HOAs have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and visible grading. Check local building department rules and review your HOA design guidelines before ordering large amounts of fill dirt; our team can help point you to local resources.
Fill dirt is primarily used to add volume and raise grade; it compacts but often retains moisture in Piedmont clay. Crushed stone provides structural support and drainage for driveways, while topsoil is meant for planting and will not provide structural support; for Davidson projects you will often use a combination: fill dirt to build grade, crushed stone for structural base and drainage, and topsoil for final planting areas.
Fill dirt can settle, erode, or rut over several seasons in areas with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain, especially if not compacted properly or left unprotected. Expect to do minor regrading, add more material where needed, and stabilize slopes with seed, mulch, or erosion control fabric to extend performance.
No, standard fill dirt is usually not suitable for septic drain field trench backfill because drain fields require specific granular materials and permeability per county health codes. Always follow Mecklenburg County septic specifications and consult your septic contractor or county health department; Hello Gravel can supply approved sand or gravel if your project requires it.
Yes; because Hello Gravel sources locally, fill dirt color and texture will reflect local Piedmont soils and can range from tan to red-brown and vary in clay content. If color or texture matters for final appearance, add notes at checkout and request photos from your supplier, but expect natural variation and no exact color match guarantees.

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.
