Why Chadbourn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Chadbourn, a community with a population of 5,080, is part of a growing West North Carolina region whose metro area supports 2.3+ million people and posts a 2.80% annual growth rate. With roughly 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance sunny seasons with enough rainfall to make drainage and grading important. That combination of steady growth and mixed climate drives projects like yard regrades, driveway repairs, foundation backfill, and new landscaping—all of which depend on dependable bulk aggregates. Homeowners seek quality fill dirt because it compacts predictably, minimizes settlement, and provides a stable base for pavers, lawns, and structures, reducing the need for costly rework after heavy rains.Popular Projects in Chadbourn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Chadbourn Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Chadbourn.
Local prices change with seasonal demand and source, but delivered fill dirt in the southeastern North Carolina/Chadbourn area commonly falls in the ballpark of about $15 to $40 per cubic yard (roughly $20 to $55 per ton). Final price depends on haul distance, truck type, minimum order, and whether you need spreading or special placement. For an exact quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our sales team.
Use the formula (length x width x depth in feet)/27 to get cubic yards. For example, a 12 ft x 50 ft area at 4 inches deep is about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 9 to 10 tons using local soil density estimates (1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard). Increase depth to 6–8 inches for base layers or compaction allowance and order 10–20% extra for settlement and uneven spread.
For good compaction and minimal settlement in the coastal plain near Chadbourn, use clean, low-organic ‘select fill’ or structural fill that is free of roots and trash and has a mix of sand and fines. Pure clay can hold water and cause poor drainage, while very sandy fills drain well but may not compact as tightly; crushed stone or well-graded gravel is better where high drainage and load-bearing strength are required. For structural or slope work, consider a geotechnical review to pick the right material.
Small residential deliveries for minor grading or driveway base usually do not require a permit, but larger fills, changes to site drainage, or work near wetlands or streams may trigger town or county permitting. Contact Chadbourn Town Hall or Columbus County Planning before major earthmoving to confirm local rules and avoid issues with stormwater or setback requirements. If in doubt, our team can help point you to local permitting contacts.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers that serve the Chadbourn area; specific suppliers vary by zip code and availability. Typical minimums for delivery are 3 tons on our platform, with standard delivery scheduled in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on distance, access, and truck type, so get an online quote or call our team for an itemized estimate.
Fill dirt (subsoil with low organic matter) is intended to raise grade or fill voids and is not suitable for planting; topsoil is for gardens and lawns because it contains nutrients. Sand provides excellent drainage but can shift under load, while crushed stone or clean gravel offers the best drainage and compaction for structural backfill or driveways. For foundation backfill, contractors in Columbus County often prefer controlled structural fill or stone and compact in lifts rather than loose fill dirt alone.
If you leave fill dirt as the finished surface, expect erosion, rutting, and ongoing settling—it is not recommended as a final surface in humid southeastern NC. When the fill is properly compacted, graded, and covered with gravel, asphalt, or concrete, a driveway can last many years with routine maintenance like regrading, adding gravel, and fixing drainage. Keep gutters, swales, and vegetation managed to prevent erosion during heavy rains.
Yes. Reused or excavated fill can contain debris, organic material, or contaminants depending on the source, so request ‘clean fill’ documentation from suppliers when you need uncontaminated material. For sites near old industrial areas, agricultural operations, or wells, consider basic soil testing before using fill for gardens, potable water areas, or structural fills, and follow Columbus County or state guidance on contaminated material.
Confirm truck access, preferred drop location, and obstacles (low branches, gates, steep driveways) when you place your order, and add delivery notes on checkout. Expect dump trucks (commonly tri-axle) and standard 2+ business day scheduling; request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want but know drivers perform spreading at their discretion. Finally, mark utilities and clear the drop area to avoid delays or extra fees.
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.
