Why Swansboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Swansboro homeowners know growth is shaping local projects: the city population of 13,520 is part of a larger metro area population of 2.3+ million, with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. That steady expansion, combined with a moderate climate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and hardiness zone 8b—means more lawns, driveways, and small-site construction needing reliable earthwork. Homeowners want fill materials that compact predictably, support foundations and paved surfaces, and help control site grading and drainage as yards are reworked or new builds go in. Fill dirt is a basic, low-organic soil used to build grade, raise low spots, and create stable subgrades before landscaping or hardscaping. In Swansboro’s climate, where 34.00 inches of annual rainfall can cause settling and erosion, properly sourced fill dirt with good compaction characteristics helps manage water flow and reduce future maintenance. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers so you can order the right fill dirt online, schedule delivery, and get materials that reflect local geology and performance needs.Popular Projects in Swansboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Swansboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Swansboro.
Fill dirt is native soil with few rocks or organic material used to raise or level ground, backfill foundations, and build up low spots. In Swansboro its main uses include grading yards above seasonal high water, leveling for patios and sheds, and preparing subgrades for driveways and landscaping in the coastal climate.
Yes, fill dirt is usually less expensive than gravel because it is common, unprocessed soil used for bulk fill rather than a processed aggregate. Final price depends on local availability, delivery distance, and whether you need screened or compacted material.
Calculate cubic yards with: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft that is about 3.1 cu yd at 1 inch, 6.2 cu yd at 2 inches, and 12.3 cu yd at 4 inches; order a little extra to allow for settling and compaction.
Prices vary by supplier and season, but a single tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards) in the Swansboro area commonly ranges from about $200 to $600 delivered. Exact pricing depends on material type, haul distance, and site access; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for a firm quote.
It depends on the driveway width and the required depth. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 4 inches of fill needs about 24.7 cu yd using the standard formula; adjust the width and depth for your project and add 10% for compaction and settling.
You can, but preparation matters: compact the fill dirt, remove organic material, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate soils from the gravel. In coastal Swansboro with sandy, sometimes wet soils, proper compaction and drainage help prevent future sinking or washout.
Yes—compaction is important whenever fill dirt supports structures, driveways, or hardscape to reduce settling. For structural uses, compact in lifts (layers) and use a mechanical compactor; for simple landscaping, light compaction and time for natural settlement may suffice.
Yes, coastal areas like Swansboro can have regulations if you change grades near wetlands, creeks, or flood-prone zones; raising lot elevation may require permits or inspections. Check with Swansboro or Onslow County building and environmental offices before large grading or fill projects.
Material appearance and texture can vary by local geology, so fill dirt delivered to Swansboro may differ from online photos or your existing soil. You can add color or material notes at checkout, but regional variation is normal and expected.
