Why Duck Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 743, Duck is a small but steadily developing community tied to a larger metro area of 2.3+ million residents and experiencing a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate is moderate—averaging 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—which supports active landscaping and year-round outdoor projects. That steady growth and favorable weather are driving demand for basic earthwork like yard regrading, foundation backfill, and driveway base work. Homeowners need reliable materials that compact predictably and resist erosion, because poor drainage or settling on coastal and low-lying lots can lead to costly repairs down the line. Fill Dirt is a straightforward, compactable material used to raise grade, fill low spots, and support structural bases before topsoil or pavement. In Duck’s environment—with an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches and warm growing conditions—selecting clean, low-organic fill dirt helps reduce future settlement and improves drainage performance. Hello Gravel simplifies getting that material: our platform connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers, offers transparent pricing and a material calculator, and schedules dump-truck delivery on your chosen date. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; we’ll work with you to deliver the right amount when you need it.Popular Projects in Duck This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Duck Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Duck.
Delivered fill dirt in Duck, NC commonly falls in a broad range because of source and delivery variables; expect roughly $12 to $40 per ton (about $15 to $50 per cubic yard) as a typical delivered range. Exact price depends on haul distance, truck access, moisture content, and whether the material is screened or has organics; contact our team for a local quote and exact pricing for your zip code.
Hello Gravel partners with trusted local aggregate suppliers and haulers that serve Duck and the West North Carolina region and can provide quotes and scheduled delivery. You can also check local landscape supply yards, excavation contractors, and septic installers, but we recommend using Hello Gravel to compare local supplier options and delivery dates quickly.
Fill dirt can be used to raise yard grade in Duck, but for flood mitigation or raising finished grade in low-lying coastal areas you should use engineered fill and follow local floodplain rules. Avoid loose, organic topsoil for elevation changes; compacted, clean fill and an engineered plan are usually required for any work affecting drainage or flood elevation.
A practical rule is that 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons (varies with moisture and soil type). For 100 sq ft: 1 inch depth = 0.309 cubic yards (0.37 to 0.43 tons), 3 inches = 0.926 cubic yards (1.1 to 1.3 tons), 6 inches = 1.852 cubic yards (2.2 to 2.6 tons), 12 inches = 3.704 cubic yards (4.4 to 5.2 tons). Use these as estimating ranges and order a little extra (5-10%) to account for settlement and compaction.
For raising grades under driveways and patios, use clean, compactible structural fill or well-graded granular fill and always build a compacted stone base (crushed stone or crusher run) under the surface course. For septic fields, county health departments usually require low-organic, well-draining material or engineered fill; avoid clay-rich or high-organic fill for leach fields. Plain fill dirt is fine for non-structural grade work, but load-bearing areas need engineered or crushed aggregate bases.
Fill dirt is inexpensive for bulk grade changes but does not provide drainage or structural support for a driveway surface, so it should be followed by a crushed stone base. Crushed stone or bank-run gravel provides necessary load-bearing and drainage properties for driveways; many Duck projects use fill dirt to raise level and crushed stone or 57 stone as the base and wearing surface. Using fill dirt alone for a driveway will lead to poor drainage and premature rutting.
Proper compaction in lifts (typically 6 to 8 inches) with moisture control is essential; target compaction depends on the use but 90% of standard Proctor is common for structural work. In coastal North Carolina you will see less freeze-thaw damage but more concern from heavy rain and erosion, so well-compacted fill plus surface drainage measures extends life; when installed correctly, compacted fill under proper base materials can perform for decades, though some settlement is normal.
Permits or approvals may be required in Duck, especially inside floodplains, near wetlands, or when altering drainage; septic-related fills typically require county health department sign-off. Always check with the Town of Duck planning/building department, Currituck County, and FEMA floodplain rules before placing large volumes of fill; we can help connect you to local permitting contacts if needed.
Price and timing depend on haul distance, supplier location, truck access, minimum order size, and site restrictions; Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and typically uses tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries. Tight driveways, narrow streets, soft shoulders, overhead wires, or the need for small loads or multiple drop points increase cost and scheduling complexity; request site details and photos when getting a quote to avoid surprises.
After placing fill dirt, grade the area to shed water away from structures and install temporary erosion controls like straw wattles, silt fence, or geotextile until vegetation is established. Seed or plant groundcover as soon as practical, use swales or rock check dams for concentrated flows, and consider edge protection (riprap or stone) on slopes exposed to wave or concentrated runoff to prevent washout.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
