Why Greensboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Greensboro homeowners are working in a growing, sunny Piedmont city of 274,484 residents where development and yard projects are on the rise. With a metro population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 3.20% annually, demand for reliable construction materials and landscape solutions is steady. The local climate—Hardiness Zone 8b with about 229 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—means yards face both dry, hot periods and heavy rain events. Homeowners need fill materials that compact well, manage stormwater, and form stable bases for patios, retaining walls, and grading work. Quality Fill Dirt helps create level, stable subgrades that protect plantings and structures from erosion and settling in Greensboro’s variable weather. Fill Dirt in Greensboro should be dense, low-organic material that compacts reliably to support foundations, garages, and raised planting beds while aiding drainage in wetter months. Because regional soils reflect local geology, Hello Gravel sources Fill Dirt from trusted local suppliers so texture and composition match area needs. We simplify ordering—online quotes, a minimum 3-ton order, and scheduled dump-truck delivery—so you get the right material when you need it. Our network coordinates local haulers and offers guidance on quantities and placement so homeowners can complete grading, under-slab backfill, and low-spot repairs with confidence.Popular Projects in Greensboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Greensboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Greensboro.
Prices vary by supplier, volume, and delivery, but fill dirt in the Greensboro area typically runs about $15 to $45 per cubic yard (roughly $10 to $30 per ton). Larger orders and local supplier sourcing usually lower the per-unit price. For an exact quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote since local geology and hauling distance affect cost.
Yes. Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with little to no organic matter. Topsoil is screened and amended for planting, so it costs more; use fill dirt for raising grade and then cover with topsoil where you want plants or lawn.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil, gravel, and clay used to build up or level ground; it has low organic content and poor fertility. Topsoil is the upper layer rich in organic matter and nutrients for plants. In Greensboro's Piedmont area, use fill dirt to change grade and then finish with several inches of topsoil for planting or turf.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube. Spread out, 1 cubic yard covers 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth (or about 108 square feet at 3 inches). That helps you estimate how many yards you need to raise or level areas in your yard.
Yes. Bulk delivery is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged products because you avoid packaging and get truckload pricing. For projects in Greensboro, ordering bulk through Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective option when you need several cubic yards.
It depends on your truck and its payload capacity. A full-size pickup can sometimes carry close to 1 cubic yard when heaped, but many mid-size trucks safely carry only a fraction of that. Always check your truck's payload rating and state load limits before hauling dirt.
Yes, you can use fill dirt to raise low spots and regrade a yard, but place it in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches) and compact each lift for stability. Finish with 2 to 4 inches of quality topsoil before seeding or installing sod to ensure proper turf establishment and drainage in our local clay-prone soils.
Because fill dirt has low organic matter and nutrients, plants and grass typically struggle if it is left as the final surface. Grass can grow after you add and mix in topsoil or compost and provide proper seedbed preparation. For lawns in Greensboro, plan to add several inches of topsoil over fill dirt for healthy turf.
Clear vegetation and debris, mark property lines, and call 811 to locate underground utilities before any deliveries. Lay out a stable drop zone for the truck, consider geotextile or gravel over soft areas, and plan for placing material in lifts with compaction to control settling and drainage.
Coverage depends on depth and the dirt's density, but roughly 1 ton of fill dirt will cover about 200 to 300 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Because densities vary, use cubic yards for precise planning: 1 cubic yard covers 324 square feet at 1 inch, and 1 cubic yard usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons.
Ordering bulk by the cubic yard from a local supplier and arranging truck delivery is the most affordable route. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers so you can compare local pricing, avoid bagged product premiums, and benefit from lower per-unit costs on larger orders.
A typical tri-axle dump truck commonly used locally carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material, depending on local weight limits and how the truck is loaded. Hello Gravel usually manages deliveries with local fleets, and our checkout will show estimated truck size and delivery options when you enter your zip code.
Order through Hello Gravel's website by entering your zip code and selecting fill dirt; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
