Why Drexel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Drexel is a small but growing community with a city population of 2,613. The area sits within a region experiencing steady expansion—the surrounding metro has a population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually—which drives ongoing home improvement and new-construction needs. Drexel’s climate includes 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b, creating good conditions for outdoor projects year-round but also a need for materials that manage runoff and settling. Homeowners here often need quality aggregates to level yards, raise low spots, backfill foundations, and prepare pads for sheds, driveways, and patios. Fill Dirt is commonly chosen when structural volume and compaction are the priority rather than a planting medium.Popular Projects in Drexel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Drexel Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Drexel.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in the Drexel area usually fall in the range of about $12 to $28 per cubic yard (roughly $8 to $20 per ton), depending on material quality, rock content, and truck access. Final cost depends on delivery distance, whether the material is screened/clean, and any access or placement fees, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.
Hello Gravel's platform generally requires a 3-ton minimum order. Suppliers commonly use tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 15 cubic yards; for steep or tight Drexel driveways smaller dump trucks or additional handling may be required and can incur extra fees.
Drainage and freeze-thaw performance depend on the soil composition you buy. Fill dirt with high clay content common in parts of West North Carolina will drain slowly and can heave in freeze-thaw conditions; if you need better drainage or frost resistance, request a more granular or screened clean fill and proper compaction and grading.
Local contractors commonly use fill dirt for raising low spots, grading and leveling yards, backfilling foundations and trenches, creating a base under driveways and patios (underneath a gravel cap), and for septic grading or erosion repair on slopes. For planting or lawn finish, they usually follow fill dirt with topsoil rather than using fill dirt as the finished surface.
Suppliers may label material as 'fill dirt', 'clean fill', 'clay fill', or 'structural/engineered fill.' For Drexel projects ask for 'clean fill' or 'structural fill' if you need minimal organics and predictable compaction; specify whether you want screened material, maximum rock size, and note any project compaction specs so the supplier can match the right product.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts (loose depth) and compact each lift until it reaches the required density; for many residential projects 6 inch lifts are common. Small areas are compacted with a plate compactor or jumping jack, while larger areas use vibratory rollers; moisture conditioning of the soil is important for good compaction.
Calculate area in square feet times desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27 = cu yd). Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.2 to 1.4 (depending on moisture and soil type). For example, a 1,000 sq ft area at 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 18.5 cu yd, which is roughly 22 to 26 tons of fill dirt.
No — fill dirt is not intended as finished planting soil because it typically lacks organic matter and nutrients. For gardens and lawns, place several inches of quality topsoil or amended topsoil over the fill, or blend in compost to create a plantable growing medium.
Confirm the material matches your order (clean fill vs. topsoil), note the delivery location and any placement instructions, and take photos of the pile and any driveway or landscaping before and after. If you requested tailgate spreading, remember drivers do this at their discretion; contact Hello Gravel promptly if the material or placement isn’t as expected.
Regional sourcing means color, texture, and clay content will vary by local geology; in Drexel you may see fill with more fine clay or red-brown tones compared with coastal or mountain material. If appearance or drainage is important, ask suppliers for a sample or photo and specify screening, rock size limits, or a more granular blend to match your needs.
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.
