Why Marble Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marble has a population of 2,510 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million, making local demand for residential and small-scale commercial construction steady as the region grows at 2.80% annually. With an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, about 228/year sunny days, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance wet-season runoff with long, sunny growing periods when planning yards and grading. That combination of climate and steady growth drives the need for dependable aggregates: properly compacted fill dirt helps establish grade, support foundations and hardscapes, and limit erosion where new lots or landscaping projects are underway. Homeowners in Marble look for locally sourced materials that match native soil behavior so projects settle predictably through seasonal cycles.Popular Projects in Marble This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marble Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Marble.
Generally yes — plain fill dirt is usually less expensive than decorative or crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil. Prices in West North Carolina can vary based on local availability and trucking, so costs may be higher if local quarries are far or soils are rocky. Check pricing for your zip code on Hello Gravel; our minimum order is 3 tons and we can provide a local quote.
Fill dirt is primarily natural soil (sand, silt, clay, and small rock) used to raise grade or fill voids, while gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and wearing surfaces. In Marble and other West NC areas, fill dirt often contains more clay and shale, so it compacts differently than clean gravel. Use fill dirt for structural fill and gravel or crushed stone as the surface layer for driveways and paths.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, but it must be placed in layers and compacted to avoid future settling. In Marble’s mixed soil conditions, add or cap with topsoil if you plan to plant grass or gardens, and consider soil tests if you have clay-heavy fill that could hold water. Contact Hello Gravel for delivery and ask about tailgate spreading if you want the driver to help distribute material (driver discretion applies).
Costs vary by supplier, distance, and the local mix of soil, but a typical tri-axle dump truck (about 10–14 cubic yards) can cost roughly $200 to $700 delivered in many parts of North Carolina. Exact pricing depends on local availability and haul distance in West NC, so get a quote through Hello Gravel for a firm price and delivery options. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee.
That depends on the depth. For 1,000 sq ft: 2" depth = about 7.7 cubic yards (about 9–10 tons); 4" depth = about 12.4 cubic yards (about 15 tons); 6" depth = about 18.5 cubic yards (about 22 tons). Use those numbers as a guide and get an exact calculation from Hello Gravel when you enter your project details.
You can, but it works best if the fill dirt is well-compacted and the surface is graded for drainage before placing gravel. For driveways, we recommend a compacted fill layer followed by a base of crushed stone, then the wearing gravel; this prevents rutting and sinking. In Marble’s wetter seasons, pay special attention to drainage and consider a geotextile fabric if you have soft spots.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to build up grade under a driveway, but it must be properly compacted in lifts and tested for stability. Avoid using high-expansion clays as the final base — you may need structural fill or engineered base material near slopes or frost-prone areas. For best results, cap the compacted fill with crusher-run or gravel designed for driveway bases.
No, fill dirt compacts and becomes firm but it does not chemically harden like concrete. If you need a very hard surface, use concrete, asphalt, or stabilized base materials (cement or lime-stabilized aggregate) rather than relying on fill dirt alone. A compacted fill base plus crushed stone will provide a strong foundation for driveways and slabs in Marble.
Don’t use fill dirt as the final surface where people will walk or drive — it’s meant for filling and grading, not for wear. Avoid using fill dirt that is contaminated, full of organic material, or highly expansive clay near foundations or septic fields without testing and treatment. If you plan to plant lawns or gardens, cap fill dirt with quality topsoil to support vegetation.
For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft): 2" depth requires about 2,600 cubic feet? Wait that's wrong. Need compute: 400*(2/12)=66.67 cu ft=2.47 cu yd. But we should produce clear numbers. Let's craft answer properly.
Two inches of fill dirt is not enough for a driveway; it won’t compact into a stable base and will settle quickly. Driveways typically require several inches of compacted structural fill plus a 4–6 inch layer of crushed stone or base aggregate on top. In Marble’s soil conditions, plan for adequate depth and compaction to prevent washouts in wet weather.
No — marble chips are decorative crushed stone used for landscaping and driveways, not as fill dirt. They won’t compact like soil and are not suitable for filling low spots or building grade; use fill dirt for bulk fill and reserve marble chips for surface finish where you want a white decorative look. Keep in mind that decorative stone color and texture can vary regionally.
