Why Jefferson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jefferson, with a city population of 10,400, is part of a growing regional area that is driving steady residential and small-scale development. The local growth rate is 2.80% annually, and Jefferson's climate includes 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions—warm growing seasons, regular rain, and steady population expansion—mean homeowners and contractors are frequently reshaping yards, adding patios, and regrading lots. Reliable, quality aggregates are in demand because proper site preparation and material selection reduce long-term settling, erosion, and drainage problems in new landscaping and foundation work. Fill Dirt is a practical, economical choice for backfill, grading, and raising low spots in Jefferson's climate. Fill Dirt is typically subsoil with minimal organic material, so it compacts well and resists settling under the area's 34.00 inches of annual rainfall; that makes it a good base for driveways, utility trenches, and raised planting beds. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and regional sourcing so the fill dirt you receive reflects local geology and performs as expected for your project.Popular Projects in Jefferson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jefferson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Jefferson.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards of fill dirt. In Jefferson, delivered full-truck prices commonly fall in the roughly $300 to $800 range, depending on distance, moisture content, and local supplier rates. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and final pricing is available after you enter your zip code and delivery details.
Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is unprocessed soil with little added rock. However, fill dirt is not a suitable finished surface for driveways; you will still need gravel or crushed stone for drainage and stability, so total project costs can be higher when you include the required gravel top layers.
Most tri-axle dump trucks that deliver residential fill in Jefferson carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards. Depending on soil moisture and type, that volume typically weighs roughly 12 to 16 tons (1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt often equals about 1 to 1.35 tons).
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 108 square feet at a 3-inch depth, or about 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Because 1 ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 cubic yards (depending on density), expect a ton to cover about 80 to 100 square feet at 3 inches; use our material calculator for exact numbers for your project.
Yes, some local suppliers will deliver partial truckloads, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and availability varies by supplier. If you need smaller amounts, we recommend requesting quotes from multiple local suppliers through the platform or asking local landscapers who perform small-load deliveries.
Delivery is commonly offered. Tailgate spreading may be available but is performed at the driver’s discretion and cannot be guaranteed, and compaction is usually not included and is typically handled by a separate contractor or rental equipment. You can request spreading at checkout via Hello Gravel, and we can help connect you with local contractors for compaction if needed.
Calculate your exact volume first (1,000 sq ft at 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards). The most cost-effective approach is to order a full truckload if it covers your volume, choose a nearby supplier to reduce haul fees, do grading yourself if you can, and schedule delivery on a weekday. Compare quotes on Hello Gravel, request local pickup pricing if available, and consider renting a compactor to avoid contractor markups for simple compaction work.
If your soil has low spots or significant grade changes, add and compact fill dirt to get the correct grade before placing gravel; missing this step increases the risk of settling and washouts. For driveways, a compacted fill layer followed by a compacted gravel base and a top layer of crushed stone provides the most durable result. For minor surface projects with good existing subgrade, gravel can sometimes be placed directly, but compaction is still recommended.
Yes. Jefferson is in Ashe County and local rules can affect driveway permits, grading, floodplain limits, and setbacks from septic systems or streams. Before major grading or filling, check with the Ashe County building and zoning offices and any applicable HOA; local contractors and Hello Gravel can often help point you to the right local contacts.
Costs vary by length, depth, and site conditions, but for a 20-foot-wide driveway, a typical example is: 20 ft wide by 50 ft long at a 4-inch fill needs roughly 12 to 13 cubic yards of material. Materials delivered for that volume might run roughly $350 to $900, and labor for grading and modest compaction could add $500 to $2,000 depending on contractor rates and access; get local quotes on Hello Gravel for an accurate job-specific estimate.
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.
