Why Snow Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Snow Hill is a growing community of 7,870 residents located in a part of West North Carolina that sees 228 sunny days per year, about 34.00 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. With a steady 2.80% annual growth rate, local homeowners and small contractors are tackling more landscaping, driveway work, and yard grading projects as new builds and renovations increase. That steady expansion creates higher demand for reliable earthmoving materials that perform in the region's moderate, sometimes wet climate. Homeowners want materials that compact well, resist excessive settling after rains, and match local soil conditions—qualities that make choosing the right fill product important. Clear pricing, local sourcing, and scheduled delivery simplify project planning, helping DIYers and pros order the right volumes without multiple supplier calls.Popular Projects in Snow Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Snow Hill Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Snow Hill.
Delivered fill dirt prices to Snow Hill typically fall in a range because of local supply and haul distance. Expect about $12 to $25 per ton delivered and roughly $16 to $35 per cubic yard using a common conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard. Final price depends on exact pickup location, truck routing, seasonal demand, and any minimum-order or delivery fees.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that commonly set minimums of 3 tons per order, which matches our platform minimum. Most deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks and many areas qualify for free delivery, but some rural hauls or tight access sites can add fees. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely; this service is not guaranteed.
For Snow Hill's coastal plain and frequent rain, choose low-organic, well-graded fill dirt with a sandy-loam or clay-sand balance so it compacts well but does not hold standing water. Avoid topsoil or high-organic mixes that will compress and settle; instead pair fill dirt with a drainage layer of crushed stone or geotextile under a driveway surface. For driveways, use fill dirt to build grade but finish the driving surface with crushed stone or crushed rock for durability and drainage.
Use volume first, then convert to cubic yards and tons (common estimate: 1 cubic yard = about 1.3 tons). A 12x50 driveway with 4 inches of fill is about 7.4 cubic yards, roughly 9.5 to 10 tons; at 6 inches double that amount. A 1/4-acre (10,890 sq ft) with 3 inches of fill is about 100.8 cubic yards, roughly 130 to 135 tons. For foundation backfill, a typical example is an 8-foot wall with a 3-foot backfill width: that equals 24 cubic feet per linear foot (0.89 cubic yards) or about 1.1 to 1.2 tons per linear foot; adjust for actual wall height and backfill width.
Small amounts of fill dirt for routine landscaping usually do not need a permit, but large regrades, changes that affect stormwater flow, work in regulated floodplains, or activity near wetlands often require review or permits. Contact Greene County Planning and Inspections and check with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality if your project alters drainage or is near streams and wetlands. When in doubt, get a quick pre-application check with local officials to avoid compliance issues.
For structural work and roadway or driveway subgrades, contractors typically compact fill dirt to roughly 90-95% of Standard Proctor density, done in lifts (commonly 6 to 8 inches loose) and tested with field density tests as required. Small areas are compacted with a plate compactor or rammer; larger jobs use walk-behind rollers or vibratory smooth-drum rollers, and heavy sites use tandem vibratory rollers. Check project specifications or local building code for exact density requirements and always verify with a soils engineer for foundation or public-work projects.
Fill dirt alone is not a durable driving surface and can rut, settle, and erode over time in Snow Hill’s rainy climate, though freeze/thaw cycles are milder than in northern states. Expect some settlement in the first year; prevent issues by compacting properly, installing good drainage, and surfacing driveways with crushed stone or asphalt. Routine maintenance includes regrading low spots after heavy rains, adding stone as needed, and controlling vegetation at edges to reduce erosion.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive material per ton and is best for building grade, backfill, and bulk raising of elevations, but it drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Crushed stone or crushed rock is more expensive per ton but provides superior drainage and load-bearing capacity for driveways and base layers. Sand can help with drainage and bedding but is not a good structural fill; choose the material by function—use fill dirt for volume and grade, crushed stone for drainage and load-bearing surfaces, and sand only where specified for bedding or drainage trenches.
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.
