Why Fairview Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairview has a city population of 8,990 and sits in a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With an annual growth rate of 2.80%, homeowners and small developers are steadily expanding lot work, driveways, and yard renovations. Fairview’s moderate climate — about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b — supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates demand for reliable earthwork materials that manage water and settling. That steady growth and active local construction market mean homeowners are looking for consistent, clean aggregates to finish grades, raise foundations, and fix drainage without surprises. Fill dirt is the go-to choice for raising low spots, backfilling trenches, and building pads before topsoil or decorative material is installed. In Fairview’s environment, where 34.00 inches of rain can drive erosion and settling, dense, well-graded fill dirt helps lock in slopes and improve compaction. Hello Gravel connects you with locally sourced fill dirt that reflects regional soils, delivered on your schedule by vetted haulers. We make ordering transparent, show quantity estimates, and schedule delivery windows so you get the right amount of fill dirt when you need it, minimizing project delays and rework.Popular Projects in Fairview This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairview Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fairview.
Many Hello Gravel orders include delivery for free or have a small delivery fee; costs depend on truck access, distance from supplier, and order size. In Fairview, small residential deliveries that are not covered can commonly add about $50 to $150 to the material cost, while larger loads or longer hauls may cost more. We require a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is scheduled 2+ business days after order placement.
Prices vary by local supplier and haul distance, but in West North Carolina fill dirt commonly falls roughly between $10 and $25 per cubic yard (about $8 to $20 per ton depending on soil density). Higher prices reflect screened or engineered fill and longer delivery distances. For an exact quote for Fairview, use our online calculator or request a local quote.
For general grade-raising, use clean fill dirt with low organic matter and a mix of fines and granular material so it compacts well; avoid using topsoil as a structural fill. Compact in thin lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches) with a plate or roller and aim for a firm, well-settled surface; engineered projects often specify about 90-95% of standard compaction, so consult an engineer for heavy-load areas like driveways. For driveway bases, consider a crushed-stone layer under the fill for drainage and load support.
A 1,000 sq ft area raised 4 inches requires about 12.35 cubic yards of material before compaction. Allow 10-20% extra for compaction and waste, so order roughly 14 to 15 cubic yards. That translates to roughly 16 to 18 tons using a typical soil density; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can give a tailored estimate for your site.
Fill dirt can be used to regrade and raise areas but it does not fix inherent drainage problems in clay soils; if you place fill over clay, plan for drainage improvements such as subdrains, gravel layers, or surface grading. On hilly slopes, proper benching, compaction, and erosion control are essential—steeper or unstable slopes often need engineered solutions, retaining walls, or crushed-stone stabilization rather than loose fill alone.
Yes—before large deliveries or any regrading, check with the Town of Fairview and Buncombe County planning or building departments for local grading, stormwater, or earthwork permit requirements. Also review your HOA covenants for restrictions on importing soil, changing lot grade, or visible stockpiles. Small landscaping deliveries are often fine without a permit, but any changes that affect drainage or road/driveway approaches may need approval.
Fairview experiences freeze/thaw cycles and periods of heavy rain, so avoid placing and compacting fill during saturating rain events or when ground is frozen and icy. Late spring through early fall typically offers the best conditions for good compaction and reduced erosion risk. If you must work in wetter months, plan for erosion controls (silt fence, straw) and schedule deliveries on dry days when possible.
Use crushed stone as the structural base for driveways and patios because it provides strength and drainage; fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade where structural support and drainage are not critical. Topsoil is for planting and should not be used as a structural base. For many projects, a combination works best: crushed stone for the base, fill dirt to adjust final grade, and topsoil only in planting areas.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery through local contracted dump truck fleets with a standard lead time of 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. Contact our team if you need help calculating quantities, choosing material type, or arranging a convenient delivery window.
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.
