Why Burlington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Burlington (city population: 74,747) is experiencing steady growth that is driving demand for residential grading, yard recontouring, and foundation backfill. With a regional metro area population: 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate: 2.50% annually, local building activity and homeowner renovation projects are increasing. Burlington's climate—hardiness zone: 8b, with annual rainfall: 34.00 inches and about 228 sunny days/year—supports year-round landscaping and exterior work but also requires thoughtful soil management to control drainage and settling. Homeowners looking to level yards, raise low spots, or backfill for patios and sheds seek reliable, compactible materials; clean, well-graded fill dirt reduces the risk of future settling and helps ensure stable grades around foundations and hardscapes.Popular Projects in Burlington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Burlington Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Burlington.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Burlington area typically range between $12 and $30 per cubic yard ($10 to $22 per ton) depending on seller, haul distance, and material quality. Prices vary with regional sourcing, access to the delivery site, and whether screening or low-organic fill is required, so request a local quote for an accurate price.
To raise a 20 x 30 ft area by 6 inches you need about 11.1 cubic yards of fill (600 ft2 x 0.5 ft = 300 ft3; 300/27 = 11.11 yd3), which is roughly 14 to 16 tons depending on soil density. Order 15 to 20 percent extra to allow for compaction and settlement, so plan on about 17 to 19 tons delivered.
Yes. Burlington and Alamance County have many landscape and earthwork contractors who provide compaction with plate compactors or rollers and can meet common shed or slab subgrade requirements. For building pads or structures, ask the contractor for the target compaction specification and proof of compaction, and check with the city or county building department for any inspection requirements.
Fill dirt can be used in Burlington for raising grade and general backfill, but its performance depends on soil type and compaction. Because Piedmont soils around Burlington tend to be clayey and can hold water, ensure proper grading, drainage, and compaction; for areas with regular surface traffic or structures, consider a crushed stone base instead of plain fill dirt.
Typical lead time for standard delivery is 2 or more business days from order, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and works with local suppliers and haulers to schedule deliveries on your preferred date when possible.
Small landscape fills usually do not require permits, but larger regrading, changes in drainage, or work in regulated areas can trigger city or county permits and stormwater reviews. Before major earthwork, contact Burlington Planning and Inspections or Alamance County to confirm permit requirements and any inspection or erosion control rules.
No. For a driveway base, crushed stone or crushed aggregate is the better long-term choice because it compacts well and drains, reducing potholes and rutting. Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or backfill but will increase maintenance and drainage issues if used as the primary driving surface.
Settlement varies by soil and compaction but expect between a few percent up to 10-20 percent of loose-fill thickness in poorly compacted or organic soils. To minimize settlement, hire a contractor to compact in lifts and order extra material to allow for post-settlement regrading.
Some local landscape suppliers and mini-dump haulers in the Burlington and Greensboro-High Point region offer small-load deliveries, but availability and price vary. Hello Gravel can check local suppliers for small loads and provide quotes and delivery options that meet your site access and quantity needs.
Yes. HOA covenants, local zoning, and county stormwater or floodplain regulations can restrict grading, visible exposed fill, and changes to drainage patterns. Always review your HOA rules and check with Burlington Planning and Inspections or Alamance County before starting large fill or regrading projects to avoid violations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
