Why Bolton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bolton is a town of 1,490 residents experiencing steady growth—about 2.80% annually—which is driving more home improvement and small-scale construction work. With a moderate climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rain annually, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and driveways face a mix of sun, seasonal planting needs, and periodic wet weather. That combination means homeowners and contractors often need bulk aggregates to regrade lawns, fill low spots, build terraces, and prepare building pads. Quality fill matters: inconsistent or organic-rich material can settle, create drainage problems, or undermine new landscaping. For DIYers in Bolton, choosing the right fill dirt helps keep grades stable, manage onsite water, and protect new plantings as the town grows.Popular Projects in Bolton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bolton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bolton.
Typical delivered prices for basic fill dirt in Bolton and nearby West North Carolina towns usually run between $10 and $25 per ton, depending on distance, moisture content, and supplier. Small orders, long hauls, or wet/rocky material push prices higher; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and delivery is usually 2+ business days with a next-day option for an extra fee. Ask for a local quote to get an accurate price for your specific zip code and site access.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of finished (compacted) fill. Allow 15-25% extra for compaction and settlement, so order roughly 22 to 23 cubic yards, which is about 28 to 30 tons using a common conversion of 1.2 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard. Always measure your site and ask Hello Gravel for a materials check if you want a precise quote.
For Bolton's often clayey soils, use clean fill dirt (low organic content) for general grade-raising and engineered fill if the area will carry structures. For driveways or areas with drainage issues, mix a coarse granular layer (sand or crushed stone) below or atop fill dirt to improve drainage and prevent waterlogging. Avoid using topsoil or organic-rich fill as it compresses and holds moisture, worsening settlement and drainage problems.
In Bolton's hot, humid summers fill dirt can retain moisture and soften, which may lead to minor rutting if not compacted and drained pRoperly. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause slight heaving and settlement if the fill contains fine clays or trapped water, so good drainage and compaction in thin lifts reduce those risks. PRoper grading away from structures and adding a drainage layer where needed helps the material perform better year-round.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and contracted haulers around Bolton and Columbus County and can provide on-demand quotes for nearby suppliers. Minimum order is typically 3 tons through our platform, and pricing varies by supplier and distance; ask for a local quote to see exact per-ton and delivery fees. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed.
Columbus County and local building departments may require engineered fill, compaction testing, or specific materials beneath foundations and septic systems, so always check permit requirements before using fill dirt under structural elements. Many jurisdictions prohibit using organic-rich fill beneath footings or septic drain fields and instead require clean, compacted stone or engineered backfill. Contact the Columbus County Building Department or a local engineer for code-specific guidance.
Install fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller until you reach the specified density; homeowners can use rented plate compactors for small areas. Adjust moisture before compacting (too wet or too dry reduces compaction efficiency) and remove roots or organic material before placing fill to prevent long-term decomposition and settling. For larger or structural projects, request compaction testing and use engineered fill per an engineer's recommendations.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed stone and is suitable for raising grades or non-traffic areas, but it compacts less consistently and drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Crushed stone or crushed gravel is a better choice for driveways, parking pads, and base layers because it provides drainage, load-bearing capacity, and resists rutting. For Bolton residential driveways we often recommend a compacted crushed-stone base with fill dirt only used for grade adjustments away from the structural base.
Provide your zip code, exact delivery address, preferred delivery date window, site access details (driveway width, overhead wires, steep grades), and any spreading or placement instructions in the Order Notes. Tell us if you need tailgate spreading (driver discretion), how much material you want (we can help calculate), and any permit needs so suppliers can advise on suitable material and equipment. This information helps get accurate quotes, pRoper truck sizing, and smoother delivery.
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.
