Why Faison Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Faison is a small but growing community with a population of 3,280, situated in a region that sees 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall. With a metro area approaching 2.3+ million and a steady 2.80% annual growth rate, local residential and light commercial building activity is increasing. Homeowners here need reliable, cost-effective materials to manage grading, foundation support, and landscaping as yards are reshaped and new construction fills in. Quality aggregates matter because they control drainage, prevent settling, and provide a stable base for patios, driveways, and foundation backfill—issues that become more important as development accelerates in the area. Fill Dirt is a practical choice for many Faison projects because it compacts well and creates structural mass where needed. In a climate with frequent sun and moderate rainfall, pRoperly placed and compacted fill dirt helps manage surface runoff and reduces erosion on slopes and new lots. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, provide clear quantity estimates, and schedule deliveries to fit project timelines. Our platform makes it straightforward to order the right volume, choose a delivery window, and get materials delivered by professional dump truck fleets to keep projects moving.Popular Projects in Faison This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Faison Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Faison.
Delivered prices in and around Faison typically range by quality and haul distance. Expect roughly $12 to $30 per ton or about $15 to $40 per cubic yard for common fill dirt, with smaller or long-distance deliveries toward the high end; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and handles local sourcing and delivery scheduling.
For bulk grade work in Faison homeowners usually use screened or clean fill dirt (minimal organic matter and most rocks screened out) for raising grades, and structural or engineered fill for deeper fills. For driveways, place compactable fill dirt as subgrade, then finish with a crushed stone base for load-bearing and drainage.
Volume is area times depth: 1,000 sq ft by 1" is about 3.1 cubic yards, 3" is about 9.3 cubic yards, and 6" is about 18.5 cubic yards. Using a typical conversion of 1.1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly 3.5 to 4.6 tons for 1", 10.2 to 14.0 tons for 3", and 20.4 to 27.8 tons for 6".
Fill dirt compacts and holds volume but is not a drainage material and can retain moisture unless mixed with free-draining material. For slope erosion control in Faison's climate, use fill dirt for grading but add drainage rock, French drains, geotextile, vegetation, or surface stone to manage runoff and reduce erosion.
Contractor rates vary by equipment and job size; expect general spreading and compaction to run roughly $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot or about $8 to $25 per cubic yard as a guideline, depending on access and complexity. Small jobs often incur a minimum daily equipment/operator charge of $300 to $800; for the example 1,000 sq ft at 6" (about 18.5 cy) budget roughly $300 to $1,000 for professional spreading and compaction.
Most settlement happens in the first year if fill is placed loose; homeowners commonly see a few tenths of an inch up to 1 to 2 inches of settlement on uncompacted fills. When placed in controlled lifts and compacted, fill dirt will settle much less and perform well in Faison, where winters are milder than further north but freeze-thaw cycles can still cause minor movement if compaction is poor.
Fill dirt is cost-effective for bulk elevation changes and non-driving areas, but it is not the best surface or load-bearing base for a driveway. For rural approaches we recommend using fill dirt only to set grade, then a pRoperly compacted crushed stone or engineered base layer under surface gravel or pavement to provide drainage and long-term support.
Local rules vary, so check with the Town of Faison and Sampson County planning or building offices before large imports. North Carolina requires erosion and sediment control permits for many land-disturbing activities (for example, projects over 1 acre), so confirm if your grading counts and get any needed approvals before hauling in bulk material.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and hauling contractors that serve Faison and the surrounding West North Carolina area; avaIlability varies by zip code. Many haulers offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, and local excavation or landscaping contractors provide spreading and compaction for a fee; note that spreading services are not guaranteed and should be requested at checkout or arranged separately with a contractor.
For lawn top-ups in Faison, do not use plain fill dirt at the surface because it usually lacks organic material—use a 2 to 4 inch layer of screened topsoil over the fill for seeding or sod. Mixing in topsoil increases material cost since topsoil is pricier than raw fill; sand blends are only recommended for very specific soil drainage corrections and can raise costs and complicate lawn establishment.
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.
