Why Hertford Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hertford's population is 10,070, and the city is seeing steady development with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate combines plenty of sun—228 sunny days per year—with seasonal rainfall totaling about 34.00 inches and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, so homeowners balance sunny seasons with wet periods when planning outdoor projects. That steady growth and active home improvement market increase demand for basic site materials like Fill Dirt. Homeowners look for quality Fill Dirt to level yards, build up low spots for better drainage, create base pads for sheds and play equipment, and support hardscape projects. Because regional soils reflect local geology and climate, choosing the right Fill Dirt helps reduce erosion after heavy rain, compact to a stable base, and limit future settlement when installed correctly.Popular Projects in Hertford This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hertford Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hertford.
Order fill dirt through Hello Gravel to see local suppliers that deliver to Hertford (zip code check required). We connect you with regional haulers, show upfront pricing and delivery windows, and our standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.
Local farm stores and big-box retailers around Hertford typically sell bagged topsoil and small quantities, but bulk fill dirt is usually sold by landscape suppliers or dirt haulers. For bulk delivery to a residential address in Hertford, using Hello Gravel or a landscape supplier will be faster and more cost-effective than buying many bags.
For grading and structural backfill in Hertford, choose clean fill with low organic content and good crushing characteristics so it compacts well. Avoid using topsoil or high-organic material for structural fills because they settle and retain moisture; for driveway bases use gravel or crushed stone rather than fill dirt.
You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is done at the driver's discretion and depends on site access and safety. Hello Gravel offers this service where available, but there are no guarantees, so plan on receiving dumped material unless the driver confirms spreading on arrival.
First calculate cubic feet (length x width x depth) then divide by 27 to get cubic yards: 10 x 10 x 1 = 100 cu ft = 3.7 cu yd. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (depending on moisture and compaction) to estimate weight, and then add 10-20% extra for settlement and compaction when placing your order.
Hertford falls roughly in USDA hardiness zone 8a, so soil biology and drainage matter for planting projects. Fill dirt is intended for grading and structural uses and is not suitable for planting; if you are improving garden beds or lawns in Hertford, buy screened topsoil or a topsoil/compost mix rather than fill dirt.
For raised beds in Hertford’s climate, a common mix is about 70% topsoil to 30% compost for general vegetable and flower beds. Note that fill dirt should not be used in planted beds; use purposely blended topsoil or amend existing soil with compost for best plant performance.
Most private deliveries to driveways do not require a permit, but if a truck will block a public street, sidewalk, or require extended parking, the Town of Hertford or Perquimans County may require notification or a permit. Check with Hertford public works or the local building department before delivery if you expect street closures, tight turning radiuses, or large equipment on site.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Hertford; availability and lead times vary by supplier and season. Use the Hello Gravel site to enter your zip code to see which local providers offer online ordering and typical delivery windows, with same-week delivery often possible depending on schedule and distance.
Cost depends on quantity, truck access, and distance: for small amounts you may save by picking up if you have a suitable vehicle or trailer, but for typical bulk needs the convenience and labor savings of delivered material often justify the delivery fee. Hello Gravel shows local prices and delivery fees so you can compare pickup versus delivered cost for your Hertford address.
For drainage and foundation backfill in Hertford, use clean granular fill (well-graded sand or 3/4" minus crushed stone) that compacts and sheds water rather than organic-rich fill dirt. Always follow local building codes and engineer recommendations for backfill and compaction; if in doubt, consult the Perquimans County building department or your contractor before ordering.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
