Why Iron Station Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Iron Station has a population of 8,460 and sits inside a growing regional market — the West North Carolina metro area has a population of 2.3+ million and is expanding at a growth rate of 2.80% annually. With a moderate climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a planting zone of 8b, homeowners here are balancing wet-season drainage needs with long periods of sun. That combination drives steady demand for reliable base materials: grading, driveway subbases, yard regrading, and foundation backfill all require consistent, low-organic fill that compacts well. Local projects and small-scale development in Iron Station increasingly call for quality materials so yards drain properly, patios and driveways sit on stable bases, and builders can meet municipal grading requirements without repeated deliveries or surprise delays.Popular Projects in Iron Station This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Iron Station Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Iron Station.
Prices vary by supplier, but homeowners in Iron Station typically pay about $8 to $25 per cubic yard for delivered fill dirt, depending on moisture content, regional availability, and haul distance. Per-ton pricing often translates to roughly $12 to $40 per ton; minimum orders usually start at 3 tons. For an exact quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel and compare local supplier offers.
Fill dirt in Iron Station is most commonly used for yard grading, building up low spots, foundation and footing backfill, septic system backfill, and raising driveway approaches. It is not typically used as a finished driving surface; homeowners usually cover it with gravel or pavement. Local contractors also use it for creating level pads for sheds and garages.
Fill dirt alone is generally not the best base for a driveway in Iron Station, especially where clay soils and freeze–thaw cycles are common. For a durable driveway base, use crusher run or road base with proper compaction; fill dirt can be used beneath those layers to raise grade. If you do use fill dirt, compact it in thin lifts and install proper drainage to reduce settling and frost heave.
One cubic yard covers 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, or about 27 cubic feet. For quick estimating: a 1,000 sq ft area needs about 3.1 cubic yards per inch of depth. For driveway base, contractors typically place 4 to 8 inches of compacted base material (but not all of that should be straight fill dirt), so plan quantities accordingly and add 10-15% for compaction and settlement.
Fill dirt generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, so a safe estimate is roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard. Wet or clay-heavy soils can weigh more, while very loose or sandy fill can weigh less. Ask your supplier for their material weight if you need precise delivery amounts.
Many local haulers in the Hello Gravel network can perform tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading and compaction services are not guaranteed. Specialized compaction (plate compactor or roller) is usually provided by earthwork contractors rather than dump truck drivers. If you need compaction, ask Hello Gravel to coordinate with a contractor or arrange separate compaction services.
Iron Station sits in a climate with seasonal freeze–thaw and areas of clay-rich soil, which can increase frost heave and shrink-swell movement. Choose well-draining fill or mix in granular material where possible, and compact in 4- to 6-inch lifts at proper moisture content to reduce future movement. Proper drainage away from structures and foundations is critical to limit freeze–thaw damage.
Geotextile fabric is commonly recommended in Iron Station when building over weak subgrades, slopes, or where drainage is a concern; it helps stabilize the subgrade and keeps soils from mixing. For typical yard grading it may not be necessary, but for driveways, retaining walls, or septic system pads it often provides measurable benefits. Consult your contractor to determine the right fabric type and placement for your project.
Newly placed fill dirt commonly settles during the first year, so expect some additional grading and adding material after settling. If used under turf or landscaping with good drainage and compaction, it can be stable for many years; as a final driving surface it will deteriorate quickly. Regular maintenance includes regrading low spots, reseeding, and improving drainage to prolong performance.
Yes. Iron Station is in Lincoln County, and septic backfill, large grading jobs, or changes to drainage may require permits and inspections from Lincoln County Environmental Health or the county building department. Always check local permitting requirements before major earthwork, and coordinate with licensed septic or grading contractors to meet inspection standards. If in doubt, contact the county offices or Hello Gravel for guidance before ordering material.

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.
