Why Bald Head Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bald Head Island homeowners live in a compact community with a city population of 2,420, and local development is influenced by an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The island’s climate—about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—means outdoor projects must stand up to both sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. That mix, combined with coastal geography, drives steady demand for materials that stabilize soil, control erosion, and support new landscaping or small construction projects. Homeowners often need dependable base material to raise low areas, create a stable subgrade for patios and driveways, and prevent washout during storms, so choosing the right fill material early in a project reduces long-term maintenance and improves performance.Popular Projects in Bald Head Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bald Head Island Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bald Head Island.
Costs vary with material, haul distance, ferry coordination, and staging needs. Expect delivered fill dirt for Bald Head Island to commonly range from about $20 to $45 per cubic yard, with a full tri-axle truckload (10-12 cubic yards) typically running roughly $200 to $540; island-specific fees can push costs higher. Contact our team for an exact quote based on your zip code and site access.
A standard tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction, so a full truck can weigh approximately 12 to 20 tons.
Measure the area in square feet and the depth you want to add in inches, then use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet x inches deep) / 324. Always order 10% to 20% extra to allow for compaction and settling, and ask Hello Gravel to verify your numbers if you want help.
Yes, we can deliver to Bald Head Island, but deliveries require additional coordination with local suppliers and ferry operators. Expect extra lead time, possible added fees for ferry transport and staging, and the need to identify an on-island drop location; our team will handle coordination with contracted haulers experienced in island deliveries.
Major grading, dune work, or changes to established shorelines often require permits or HOA approval on Bald Head Island and from local coastal authorities. Check with the Town of Bald Head Island, your homeowners association, and any environmental regulators before ordering large quantities, and let our team know if you need documentation for permitting.
Fill dirt is typically low in organic matter and designed for raising or leveling grades rather than supporting plants. For lawns and gardens, place 4 to 6 inches of screened topsoil or a topsoil mix over the fill dirt to provide nutrients and proper drainage for plant growth.
Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. On Bald Head Island, tight access and staging limits often make spreading and compaction a separate job best handled by a local contractor.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for stable surfaces. Driveways and load-bearing areas typically require a compacted base of 4 to 12 inches depending on use, plus a suitable surface layer; consult a contractor for recommendations based on your intended use and site conditions.
Our standard delivery window is 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Because Bald Head Island deliveries need ferry scheduling and possible special permits, plan more lead time and confirm your requested delivery date when ordering.
Yes. Use clean, non-saline fill free of debris and organics to avoid settlement and contamination; drainage, erosion control, and compaction are especially important in a coastal setting. Tell our team about proximity to dunes, wetlands, or tidal areas so we can match the right material and delivery approach for your site.
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.
