Fill Dirt in Harbinger, NC

Delivered fill dirt prices in Harbinger typically vary based on source, haul distance, and volume. As a rough estimate expect $10 to $35 per ton (about $6 to $23 per cubic yard) for standard regional fill dirt, but prices fluctuate and small loads or long hauls can be higher. Request a local quote through Hello Gravel to get an accurate delivered price for your zip code and job size.

Some local haulers near Harbinger can do small loads or same-day drops, but availability is limited. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and can search for options; keep in mind our minimum order is typically 3 tons and same-day service often carries an added fee. For urgent needs, check availability and cutoff times on checkout or call our team for faster options.

Measure the length, width, and average depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For Harbinger sands use a practical conversion of about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for loose fill dirt, and then add 10–20% extra for settlement and compaction in sandy coastal soils. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Fill dirt is useful for raising low areas and correcting grade, but it is not usually a durable finished surface for a driveway. In Harbinger’s heavy rain and occasional flooding environment, use fill dirt to build grade, then cap with crushed stone or an engineered base and ensure proper compaction and drainage to reduce settlement and erosion. For driveways expect better long-term performance from a structural base product installed over compacted fill.

Residential fills typically require compaction to a specified percentage of maximum dry density (often around 90–95%) for structural or load-bearing areas, though exact specs vary by project. Small homeowners’ jobs commonly use a plate compactor or rented walk-behind roller, while larger or engineered fills need vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers and testing by a soils engineer. Always confirm compaction requirements with Currituck County building officials or your project engineer before placement.

Yes, geotextile fabric is commonly recommended to separate fill dirt from underlying sand and to limit mixing and erosion on slopes. Combine fabric with positive drainage solutions—swales, French drains, or outlet pipes—to manage surface and subsurface water in Harbinger’s rainy climate. Chemical stabilizers or soil cement are options only when specified by an engineer; they are not typically needed for simple grade fill.

Raw fill dirt is usually the least expensive material up front but will require more frequent maintenance, patching, and regrading because it can wash out or settle in wet coastal climates. Crushed stone or an engineered base costs more initially but provides a firm, durable surface that needs less upkeep and performs better under traffic and heavy rain. A common approach in Harbinger is to use fill dirt to raise grade and then install a structural stone base for the driveway to balance cost and durability.

Large fills or land disturbance in Currituck County can trigger permits related to grading, erosion and sediment control, wetlands, or zoning, especially near floodplains and coastal areas. Road-haul permits or weight restrictions may also apply for oversized loads. Contact Currituck County Planning and Inspections before ordering large volumes, and let Hello Gravel’s team know so we can flag permit risks with local suppliers.

For foundation backfill ask for 'select' or 'structural' fill that is free of organic material, large roots, and trash, and has a well-graded particle size appropriate for compaction. For driveway base use ABC/aggregate base or 3/4" crushed stone per common DOT or local specs rather than raw fill dirt. Always request the supplier’s material description and, if needed, gradation or certification before delivery.

On the coast common issues include high organic content, shells, clay lenses, salt, and unexpected debris, all of which can cause settlement or drainage problems. Ask suppliers about the source (borrow pit), screening, and whether the material is certified or tested; request photos, a material description, or a small sample if you are concerned. Hello Gravel sources regionally and can share supplier notes and help arrange samples or a targeted product like 'clean fill' or 'select fill' when available.
