Why Gatesville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gatesville (population 1,010) sits within a growing regional market that is seeing steady demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects. With a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80%, local building activity increasingly includes driveway repairs, yard regrading, and foundation backfill. Gatesville's climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners need materials that stand up to wet periods without excessive settling. That combination of growth and weather is why many homeowners seek quality aggregates: reliable fill keeps grading stable, supports structures, and reduces erosion during seasonal rains while still performing under long stretches of sun. Fill Dirt is a practical choice for Gatesville projects because it is typically low in organic matter and designed for compaction, making it suitable for backfill, raising grades, and creating level bases for patios or sheds. Given the area's 34.00 inches of rainfall, properly compacted fill dirt improves drainage and reduces future settling. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally matched fill dirt, offers clear pricing, and schedules delivery on your timeline (standard delivery in 2+ business days, next-day available for orders placed before noon CST). We handle coordination with trusted haulers so you get the right material, reliably delivered, with a minimum order of 3 tons and optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion.Popular Projects in Gatesville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gatesville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Gatesville.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers serving Gatesville, NC; our online quote will show nearby options after you enter your zip code. Minimums vary by supplier and distance: Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, while some local quarries or haulers may prefer full truckloads (commonly 10-15 tons for tri-axle deliveries). If you have limited access or a small job, ask for smaller loads or split deliveries when requesting a quote.
Prices vary by source, distance, and quality, but a typical delivered range for fill dirt in West North Carolina in 2025 is roughly $12 to $30 per ton. Longer hauls, difficult access, and higher-demand seasons push prices to the top of the range, while local pit material and short runs are toward the bottom. For an accurate price for your property in Gatesville, get a live quote through our site.
Clay-rich fill dirt common in parts of North Carolina holds water, expands when wet, and shrinks when dry, which can cause settlement or heaving during freeze-thaw cycles. For drainage or base uses, contractors usually prefer well-draining material or a layer of crushed stone beneath to prevent frost action and long-term movement. For any structural or finish work, plan for proper compaction, moisture control, and, when needed, engineered fill to meet local code.
Use this quick formula to estimate cubic yards: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to estimate tons (local density varies). Example estimates: a 10x12 shed pad at 6" needs about 2.2 yd3 (~2.5 tons); raising 1,000 sq ft by 3" needs about 9.3 yd3 (~11 tons); a small rural driveway base (12x30 at 6") is roughly 6.7 yd3 (~8 tons). These are starting points—use our material calculator or request a quote for a precise amount.
For septic systems and structural foundations, most contractors and county inspectors prefer engineered fill that is placed and compacted in controlled lifts and often tested for density. Fill dirt may be acceptable for non-structural backfill or yard grading, but for anything that supports a structure or septic field you should follow county health and building department requirements and get a contractor or engineer involved. Hello Gravel can supply suitable materials, but confirm compaction and testing needs with your contractor.
Pure fill dirt alone is not a good finished driveway surface; a typical rural approach is compacted fill dirt as a subgrade, topped with 4-6" of angular crushed stone (for example 57 stone or 3/4" crushed) and a final wearing course of finer aggregate. If you must use fill dirt in the base, contractors often mix in coarse material or screenings and compact in lifts to improve stability and reduce rutting. Ask for a supplier mix that is clean, free of organics, and suitable for compaction when ordering.
Yes. Heavy rain seasons and muddy conditions in spring and fall can limit access for dump trucks and delay deliveries, while winter cold snaps make ground conditions difficult for spreading. Suppliers may also have peak-season lead times in spring and summer, so schedule deliveries early and allow flexible delivery dates. Next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST, but always confirm when you check out.
Rates vary by contractor, but expect to pay roughly $40 to $120 per hour for an operator with small equipment like a skid steer or compact roller; small projects commonly run $200 to $800 total. Some crews charge by the cubic yard or ton; typical spreading and compaction fees can range from about $3 to $10 per cubic yard or $5 to $15 per ton depending on access and job complexity. Get multiple local quotes and describe access, depth, and finish expectations to get an accurate price.
Tell us about access: narrow rural roads, low-hanging branches, overhead wires, gates, and steep driveways all affect whether a tri-axle dump truck can reach your drop point. Provide a clear drop location and parking area for the truck, request tailgate spreading in checkout if desired (driver will assess safety on arrival), and note that Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. If access is tight, consider a smaller truck drop or a nearby safe offload area.
Ask for 'clean fill' or 'structural fill' that is free of topsoil, roots, organic matter, and large debris—these impurities cause settlement and poor compaction. If erosion control or planting is later planned, you may want a thin layer of topsoil on top of the fill for planting beds. Add special notes in your Hello Gravel order to request material free of organics and to indicate color or texture preferences if regional variation matters.
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.
