Why Calabash Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Calabash is a growing community with a city population of 12,230 and steady regional momentum — a growth rate of 2.80% annually — that is driving more local building and landscaping activity. The area's moderate climate (228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b) and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall make proper grading and drainage a frequent concern for homeowners. As yards are regraded, foundations prepared, and driveways installed, demand for reliable earthwork materials rises. Homeowners in Calabash often look for consistent, cost-effective aggregates that minimize settling and support proper water flow, which is why choosing the right fill dirt matters for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Calabash This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Calabash Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Calabash.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise elevations or fill low spots; it is made of fines, clay, and sand and contains few stones. Gravel is processed rock used for drainage and surface cover. In Calabash, fill dirt is used to build up yards and foundations, while gravel is used for driveways, walkways, and drainage layers.
Generally yes; fill dirt is usually less expensive because it is less processed than crushed stone or engineered gravel. Local pricing in Calabash varies with availability and delivery distance, so check Hello Gravel for current quotes to compare exact costs.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, and delivery distance. For a precise, up-to-date price for Calabash delivery, use Hello Gravel's online quote or contact our sales team; we provide transparent pricing and can show per-yard or per-truck costs for your zip code.
One cubic yard is roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft pile that is 3 ft high, enough to cover about 9 square feet at 4 inches of depth. In practice, loose piles settle after delivery, so expect some compaction when estimating coverage on your Calabash property.
It depends on the truck: many compact pickups hold about 0.5 cubic yards, while full-size beds can carry around 1 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on load and legal weight limits. For larger needs in Calabash, ordering by the yard and using dump delivery is the safer option.
A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. Exact counts depend on wheelbarrow size and how full you load it.
Multiply the area by the desired depth: for example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep needs about 5 cubic yards; at 6 inches deep it needs about 15 cubic yards. Ask Hello Gravel to calculate the exact amount for your Calabash project and to factor in settlement and compaction.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to build up low spots, but proper placement is important. Add fill in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each layer to reduce future settling, and place topsoil or a planting layer if you intend to grow grass or plants on the filled area.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal for establishing lawns because it is low in organic matter. After filling and compacting, top with 2 to 4 inches of topsoil or loam before seeding; this gives grass seed the nutrients and structure it needs to germinate in Calabash's coastal soils.
Weight varies with moisture and composition, but fill dirt typically ranges from about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. For exact shipping weights and to stay within truck legal limits in Calabash, Hello Gravel will provide weight estimates for your order.
We typically deliver with tri-axle dump trucks that carry multiple cubic yards per load; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, next-day is available if ordered before noon CST (fee applies), and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout.
Large fills near wetlands, high-water-table areas, or steep slopes may require permits or erosion controls in Brunswick County. Check local regulations and, for bigger projects, consult local authorities or a contractor; Hello Gravel can help with material quantities and delivery logistics.
Yes, to reduce future settling you should place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller. For landscaping-level changes, mechanical compaction is recommended; for structural fills or near foundations, follow guidance from an engineer or local building codes.
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.
