Why Cliffside Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cliffside is a small town of 710 residents in a growing regional market where the wider metro area totals 2.3+ million people and the region is expanding at a 2.80% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here face seasons that encourage both outdoor projects and attention to drainage. That steady growth and comfortable climate drive demand for reliable building materials—from grading and foundation backfill to landscape renovations—so local residents and contractors look for quality aggregates that perform reliably under local weather and soil conditions. Fill Dirt is a basic, fine-grained material used to raise grade, fill trenches, and provide a stable base for patios, driveways, and foundations. In Cliffside’s environment, properly compacted fill dirt helps manage the area’s 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and reduces settling under 228 sunny days of seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common to hardiness zone 8b. Hello Gravel sources locally consistent fill dirt, connects you to trusted suppliers and dump-truck delivery, and makes it easy to choose quantities, schedule deliveries (standard 2+ business days, next-day available), and get material that reflects Cliffside’s regional geology.Popular Projects in Cliffside This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cliffside Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cliffside.
Prices vary by supplier, truck size, and delivery distance, so the best way to get an accurate cost for Cliffside is to get a quote for your zip code. Typical tri-axle deliveries serving small towns in West North Carolina commonly carry about 10–14 cubic yards (capacity varies) and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Use our online calculator or request a quote to see delivered pricing and any delivery fees for your specific address.
Fill dirt is mostly soil with little to no large rock, designed to raise or grade ground; gravel is crushed stone used for drainage, structural bases, and finished surfaces. Fill dirt compacts well and is used to build up low spots or create a stable pad, while gravel provides drainage and a firm wearing surface for driveways and pathways.
Generally yes: plain fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than decorative or crushed stone because it is a simpler material and often sourced locally. Final delivered cost depends on quantity, hauling distance into Cliffside, and whether you need screened or engineered fill, so check a quote for a precise comparison.
You can put gravel over properly prepared fill dirt, but preparation matters: compact the fill in layers, install a geotextile if needed, and add a base layer of crushed stone before the wearing gravel. Skipping compaction or a proper base can lead to settling and ruts, especially in West North Carolina where clay and freeze-thaw cycles can increase movement.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and regrade yards, but you should place it in thin lifts (6 inches or less) and compact each layer to reduce settling. If you plan to grow grass or plants, finish with several inches of topsoil rather than leaving raw fill dirt at the surface.
Calculate cubic yards needed by multiplying area in square feet by desired depth in inches, then divide by 324 (cubic yards = sq ft * inches / 324). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 1 inch needs about 3.1 cubic yards; convert to tons using your supplier's density (fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.1–1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction).
First calculate the total cubic yards required, then divide by the truck's capacity—typical tri-axle dump trucks serving our region carry roughly 10–14 cubic yards, but local truck sizes vary. For a precise truck count for Cliffside deliveries, request a quote and confirm the truck type with Hello Gravel or the hauling supplier.
Yes. West North Carolina near Cliffside often has clayey soils and seasonal freeze-thaw, which can cause extra settling and drainage issues if not addressed. Improve drainage, compact in lifts, avoid placing fill against foundations without proper engineering, and consider local grading and erosion controls when planning your project.

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.
