Why Farmville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Farmville is a growing community with a city population of 7,280 and ties to a larger metro area population of 2.3+ million. At a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local homeowners and builders are adding new driveways, patios, and yard grading projects that increase demand for reliable aggregates. Farmville’s climate — about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — supports year-round outdoor work but also means soils experience wet-dry cycles that can cause settling and erosion. That combination of growth, seasonal moisture, and active landscaping makes quality fill dirt essential for creating stable grades, properly backing up foundations, and preparing firm bases under gravel driveways and hardscape. Fill dirt in Farmville is usually dense subsoil with low organic content, chosen for its compaction properties rather than plant growth. Given 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sun, properly compacted fill dirt helps shed water and limit future settling when placed in 4–8 inch lifts and tested for density. Hello Gravel connects Farmville homeowners with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced fill dirt, clear pricing, and scheduled dump-truck delivery. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and plan deliveries on drier days; our team helps match material and timing to your project needs without making guarantees about on-site spreading.Popular Projects in Farmville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Farmville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Farmville.
Delivered fill dirt in Farmville (population 7,280) typically runs in a wide range depending on source and haul distance. Expect roughly $12 to $40 per ton (about $16 to $52 per cubic yard) as a ballpark; local quarries and short hauls are at the low end and long-distance or screened fill at the high end. For an exact delivered price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers in the West North Carolina region to deliver fill dirt to Farmville. Our platform accepts orders starting at 3 tons, but many suppliers and tri-axle trucks work in larger increments (common full loads are about 12 to 20 tons); ask your Hello Gravel quote for small-load options and any minimums the local supplier requires.
For yard leveling use screened fill dirt with low organic content and minimal roots so it compacts well. For driveways and patios in clay-heavy sites, plain fill dirt alone is usually not enough; use structural fill (well-graded granular fill or crushed stone) under the surface and keep screened fill dirt for final leveling or behind retaining walls. If you must use fill dirt under pavements, choose clean, compactable material with particle sizes mainly under 3/4 inch and little organics, and plan for extra compaction.
Compact fill dirt in lifts to make a stable base: common practice is 4 to 8 inches per lift when using plate compactors and 6 to 12 inches per lift with heavier rollers. Aim for a high degree of compaction (typically 90% or higher of standard compaction for driveways and road loading) to reduce settling. If your project has structural requirements, get a soil engineer or local inspector's specification.
Fill dirt is usually finer and holds water more than gravel, so it drains poorly in heavy rain and wet seasons common to the Farmville area. Use drainage rock and a geotextile under driveways, behind retaining walls, or where water tends to pool; add a 4 to 6 inch layer of clean drainage stone and fabric in wet spots to move water away from the fill. If in doubt, survey the site after a rain or consult a contractor about subgrade drainage.
A surface made mostly of fill dirt will be more prone to ruts, erosion, and washouts in Farmville's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains, so its useful life is generally shorter than stone-based surfaces. Expect periodic grading, adding material, and improving drainage every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather. For longer life, cap the fill dirt with a crushed-stone base or stabilized surface.
One cubic yard of loose fill dirt generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons; a common estimating figure is 1.3 tons per cubic yard for planning. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch depth = about 3.1 cubic yards (roughly 4.0 tons), 3 inches = about 9.3 cubic yards (about 12.1 tons), 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards (about 24.0 tons), and 12 inches = about 37.0 cubic yards (about 48.1 tons). Always allow 5-15% extra for compaction and grading losses and confirm local density with your supplier.
Rules vary by project size and location, so check with the Town of Farmville and the county planning or public works office before importing large volumes of fill. Permits or stormwater reviews may be required if the work changes drainage, affects wetlands, or is part of a building permit; small landscaping deliveries often do not need permits but large-scale grading may. If unsure, call the local permitting office or your Hello Gravel representative for guidance.
Fill dirt is usually the lowest-cost option for raising grade and filling low spots because it is primarily mineral soil without topsoil quality. For driveways and structural bases, crushed stone or crushed gravel performs much better—it compacts and drains, so it lasts longer under vehicle traffic. Topsoil is for planting and would not be used as structural fill; choose based on function: fill dirt for bulk grade work, crushed stone for durable driving surfaces, topsoil for lawns and planting.
Yes. In wet or thaw seasons trucks may be restricted from some neighborhood or rural roads; very soft driveways or narrow lanes can prevent safe dumping on site. Schedule deliveries in advance, confirm truck access and hard turnarounds, and tell Hello Gravel about site constraints; drivers may refuse to dump if conditions are unsafe, and tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
