Why Boomer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Boomer has a city population of 1,670 and sits inside a metro area with a population of 2.3+ million, an area growing at a rate of 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners balance sunny conditions with a wet season when planning yards and small construction projects. That steady local growth drives demand for reliable aggregates for grading, foundation backfill, and landscape reshaping. Homeowners choose quality materials like Fill Dirt because predictable settlement, good compaction, and local sourcing help avoid drainage issues and costly rework when adding driveways, patios, or raised planting beds. Fill Dirt is a dense, low-organic fill material suited for raising grades, filling utility trenches, and creating stable subgrades in Boomer’s climate. Given the annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, using well-graded, low-organic Fill Dirt and pRoper compaction reduces erosion and long-term settling. Hello Gravel connects you to locally sourced Fill Dirt, clear pricing, and scheduled dump-truck delivery—standard service requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Use our online calculator, add order notes for local preferences, and request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers will assess feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in Boomer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Boomer Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Boomer.
Fill dirt is clean, compactable soil used to raise or level ground, not for planting. In Boomer's hilly terrain, use fill dirt to build up low spots, level around foundations, or create gentle yard berms, but plan to top it with topsoil for planting and use structural base materials for driveways.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, access, and order size; small rural loads to Boomer often cost more per ton than large truckloads. For an accurate number, request a local quote through Hello Gravel — we can check suppliers near Boomer and show delivered pricing and minimums (note: our minimum order is 3 tons).
Fill dirt is not a good long-term driveway base because it can settle and hold moisture. For driveways in West North Carolina we recommend building up grade with compacted structural subbase materials like crusher run or crushed stone, with fill dirt only used to raise non-traffic areas and then capped with pRoper base material.
Place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift to minimize future settling. For steeper slopes in the Boomer area, combine compaction with erosion controls like terraces, retaining walls, and geotextile fabric to keep the fill stable during heavy local rains.
Boomer experiences heavy rainfall and some clay-rich soils that can hold water and cause slumping or slow consolidation of fill dirt. To reduce problems, install positive drainage, avoid leaving exposed fill on slopes, and consider using drained fill mixes or a stone drainage layer where saturation is likely.
Septic work is regulated locally; many counties limit the materials and methods allowed for mound or leach field repairs. Contact Wilkes County Environmental Health before ordering fill dirt for septic repairs — they will confirm permit needs and acceptable materials.
One cubic yard of material equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth. Use that rule to estimate: for 3 inches of raise you need roughly 1 cubic yard per 108 sq ft, and keep in mind fill dirt typically weighs more than topsoil so plan on slightly higher tonnage for tight delivery minimums.
Geotextile fabric and pRoper grading are common, inexpensive measures to reduce migration and erosion of fill dirt on slopes in Boomer. Lime or chemical stabilizers are not usually needed for simple yard fills and should only be applied after a soil test and professional recommendation, especially near septic systems or plantings.
Small-load avaIlability depends on local suppliers and truck routing; rural Boomer may have fewer small-load options and higher per-ton pricing. Hello Gravel can check our network of local suppliers and haulers to find vendors willing to deliver smaller quantities and show any minimums or delivery constraints.
Fill dirt is fine for raising ground but lacks the drainage and load-bearing capacity of crusher run or clean stone. For a durable driveway in the Boomer area, use compacted crusher run or crushed stone for the base and reserve fill dirt only for non-traffic grading or backfill behind retaining features.
Yes. In spring and after heavy rains, muddy or soft driveways in the Boomer area can limit truck access and may require a staging area at the roadside; winter weather can make remote access difficult as well. When ordering, note access constraints in Order Notes and work with Hello Gravel to schedule delivery on a suitable day; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but cannot guarantee it.
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.
