Why China Grove Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
China Grove has a population of 14,040 and is experiencing steady local demand for residential and small commercial projects as the area grows at about 2.80% annually. The town’s moderate climate—with 228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—supports year-round landscaping and renovation activity. As properties infill and homeowners tackle grading, raised beds, driveway repairs, and erosion control, there’s a growing need for reliable, locally sourced aggregates. Buyers in China Grove value materials that perform through seasonal rains and freeze-thaw cycles, so clear information about compaction, drainage, and particle composition is essential when choosing fill materials for a successful project. Fill dirt is a practical choice for China Grove jobs that require building up grade, backfilling trenches, or creating stable base layers under patios and driveways. Because local rainfall totals 34.00 inches annually, selecting low-organic, well-graded fill dirt helps reduce settling and drainage issues over time. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery options, and guidance on ordering the right volume. We handle coordination from checkout to drop-off, making it easier to get the right fill dirt delivered when you need it, with tailgate spreading available at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in China Grove This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - China Grove Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in China Grove.
Delivered fill dirt prices in China Grove typically vary by supplier, truck distance, and order size. Expect a general range of about $12 to $30 per ton delivered for small residential loads, with a 3-ton minimum on Hello Gravel orders. Site factors like driveway access, tipping location, and spreading requests can add fees, so get a detailed quote for your zip code.
A 20x30 area raised 6 inches equals 11.1 cubic yards of material. Depending on local soil density, that is roughly 14 to 18 tons of fill dirt; order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and settling. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your zip code for a precise estimate.
Fill dirt can raise low spots but is not usually the best long-term solution for drainage because some fill dirt and native clays retain water. For driveways prone to standing water, a free-draining base like crushed stone or crusher run combined with proper grading, swales, or a French drain is usually more effective. Talk to a local contractor or Hello Gravel sales for a site-specific recommendation.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve China Grove and nearby Rowan and Cabarrus County areas. Suppliers commonly deliver by dump truck to residential and contractor sites; check your zip code on our site for availability and scheduling. Remember our standard minimum is 3 tons and drivers deliver using contracted trucking fleets.
For bulk contractor orders in the West North Carolina region, delivered fill dirt often falls in the $10 to $20 per ton range, depending on quantity, haul distance, and source. Larger, repeat orders can push pricing toward the lower end, while long hauls or specialty fills raise it. Contact Hello Gravel for contractor pricing and volume discounts for your project.
Fill dirt can compact sufficiently when installed in thin lifts with the right moisture content, but local clay soils around China Grove can make compaction inconsistent. For small landscaping fills, homeowners can rent a plate compactor and compact in 4-6 inch lifts; for structural fills, driveways, or large volumes you should hire a compaction contractor and consider simple testing. Proper compaction reduces future settlement and helps avoid drainage problems.
Local contractors typically recommend crusher run or crushed stone as the base for residential driveways because those materials compact well and shed water. Fill dirt is mainly for raising grade or filling voids and will not perform as well under vehicle traffic. For most China Grove driveways, use crushed stone for the base and reserve fill dirt for leveling low spots away from the finished driving surface.
Fill dirt is not designed as a long-term wearing surface under vehicle traffic; it will settle, rut, and erode faster than stone bases—often requiring maintenance or replenishment within a season or a few years depending on traffic, drainage, and compaction. Proper compaction and drainage can extend its service life, but for driveways or frequent vehicle use, a stone base is a better long-term choice. Plan on inspections after heavy rains and seasonal changes.
Small amounts of fill for routine residential grading usually do not require a permit, but large earthmoving projects, changes to stormwater drainage, work in regulated riparian areas, or anything affecting floodplains may require permits from Rowan County or notifications to NCDEQ. If your project will alter drainage, disturb more than a threshold area, or is part of a commercial development, check with Rowan County Planning and Inspections before delivery. When in doubt, contact local authorities or Hello Gravel’s team for guidance.
Yes. Heavy seasonal rains make compaction difficult and increase settlement, so schedule deliveries and compaction when the ground is relatively dry. China Grove’s freeze-thaw cycles are milder than northern states but can still cause movement in poorly compacted fills; allow time for initial settlement and avoid finishing projects right before wet seasons. If access is muddy, ask about delivery timing and truck access to reduce site damage.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
