Why Arden Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Arden is a growing community with a city population of 21,760, located in the West North Carolina region whose metro area totals 2.3+ million people and is expanding at 2.80% annually. The local climate is moderate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—which means yards face both wet-season settling and active plant growth. Those conditions drive demand for dependable bulk materials to shape grades, manage stormwater, and prepare flat, buildable areas. Homeowners choose quality aggregates like fill dirt to raise low spots, backfill around foundations, and establish consistent elevations before topsoil or sod, because the right material reduces future settling and supports effective drainage in Arden’s geography.Popular Projects in Arden This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Arden Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Arden.
In Arden you can expect a broad range for fill dirt material of about $10 to $30 per ton, with delivered orders commonly adding $0 to $20 per ton depending on distance, site access, and supplier. Price depends on whether the dirt is screened/clean, the truck distance from the source, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing when you enter your zip code and offers a minimum 3-ton order and transparent delivery fees at checkout.
A quick way to estimate is convert your area and depth into cubic yards then multiply by about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Examples: a 1,000 sq ft area at 3 inches deep needs roughly 9.3 cubic yards (about 11 to 13 tons); a 100 sq ft patio base at 4 inches needs ~1.2 cubic yards (about 1.5 to 2 tons); leveling 500 sq ft at 6 inches requires ~9.3 cubic yards (about 11 to 13 tons). Always add 10-15% for settling and compaction and use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a site-specific number.
Yes — Hello Gravel sources regionally in West North Carolina and connects you with local suppliers who deliver to Arden. Our online quotes reflect local supplier availability; platform minimums start at 3 tons, though individual suppliers or quarries may prefer larger loads (often 5 to 10 tons) for long-haul or screened material. Check your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which suppliers serve your address and any supplier-specific minimums.
Arden is in West North Carolina where rainfall is moderate to high and hillier terrain increases runoff and erosion risk. Fill dirt can settle or wash out on steep slopes if not compacted and protected, and freeze-thaw cycles at higher elevations can cause minor movement. Good drainage, proper compaction, and erosion controls (mulch, seed, retaining structures) help fill dirt perform better in Arden conditions.
Place fill in thin lifts (6 to 8 inches loose), compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller, and avoid working when the soil is overly wet. On slopes, bench or step the fill into the hillside, install geotextile where needed, and provide positive drainage away from structures. For structural fills or tall fills, consider a soils engineer or contractor to specify compaction targets and testing.
Rules vary: small landscaping fills often don’t require permits, but larger cut-and-fill work, drainage changes, or fills near streams may need Buncombe County permits or erosion control measures. Many HOAs have rules about visible grade changes, retaining walls, and truck deliveries, so check your HOA guidelines and contact Buncombe County Building & Zoning before ordering. When in doubt, contact our sales team and we can help you identify likely permitting needs for your project.
Spring and fall are busy landscaping seasons in West North Carolina, so availability is high but demand (and sometimes prices) can increase. Winter can limit delivery windows if ground is frozen or muddy, and heavy rain seasons can delay deliveries and spreading. If you have a tight schedule, book in advance; Hello Gravel offers standard 2+ business day delivery and a next-day option (cutoff times and fees apply).
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 15 tons per load, though lighter single-axle trucks are used for smaller jobs. Expect a minimum 12 to 15 foot clearance for overhead branches and about 14 to 16 foot turning space; unstable or narrow driveways may prevent trucks from getting close and could add offload labor fees. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but note drivers perform spreading at their discretion and site conditions determine feasibility.
For driveway bases and retaining wall backfill in Arden’s rainy, hilly environment, crushed stone is usually better because it drains and compacts well. Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grades, general landscaping, and turf areas where drainage isn’t critical, but it can retain water and settle more than stone. For retaining walls use clean, free-draining backfill (crushed stone) and drainage pipe; for final lawn-grade work use screened fill dirt topped with topsoil.
Expect some settlement during the first year after placement, especially if fill was loose or placed without full compaction; minor regrading and additional fill may be needed. Well-compacted structural fills can remain stable for many years, but high-traffic or load-bearing surfaces do better with a granular base like crushed stone. On slopes, maintain erosion controls, seed or plant promptly, and inspect after heavy rains to catch washouts early.
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.
