Why Four Oaks Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Four Oaks is a small but growing community (city population: 2,000) inside a broader regional market (metro area population: 2.3+ million). With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, homeowners are increasingly tackling yard regrades, new hardscaping, and small construction projects that demand reliable base materials. The local climate (annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, sunny days: 228/year, hardiness zone: 8b) and gently rolling terrain mean drainage and compaction matter — poorly selected fill can lead to settling, erosion, and failed patios or sheds. For most DIY and contractor projects in Four Oaks, quality fill dirt that is low in organic content and well-graded provides a stable, compactable base that reduces future maintenance and supports landscaping, raised beds, and foundation backfill needs.Popular Projects in Four Oaks This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Four Oaks Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Four Oaks.
Fill dirt is native soil or subsoil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains clay, silt, and small rock but little to no topsoil or decorative stone. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and structural base work. In Four Oaks, NC, fill dirt is most often used to change grades or fill holes, while gravel is chosen where drainage or a load-bearing surface is needed.
Generally yes — fill dirt is typically less expensive per cubic yard than decorative or structural gravel because it is less processed. Final price depends on local sourcing, distance from supplier, and delivery fees, so request a quote for your Four Oaks zip code on Hello Gravel to compare exact costs.
You can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel, which connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers serving Four Oaks and Johnston County. We source regionally, so materials reflect local geology; enter your zip code on our site to see avaIlable suppliers, pricing, and delivery times.
Costs vary by truck size, material quality, and haul distance; a tri-axle dump truck (common delivery) holds roughly 8–12 cubic yards of fill dirt. Typical delivered prices in the region can vary, so expect a wide range; get an exact, upfront quote via Hello Gravel for your Four Oaks delivery window and volume.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 250 cubic feet, which equals roughly 9.3 cubic yards. Always round up to account for settlement and compaction and use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for your Four Oaks site.
Yes, most projects require compaction to reduce future settling — especially for driveways, foundations, or areas that will receive structures. In and around Four Oaks, where soils can be clayey and settle more, compact in 4–6 inch lifts using plate compactors or mechanical rollers for best results.
You can place gravel over well-compacted fill dirt, but surface preparation is key: compact the fill, remove organic matter, and consider a geotextile fabric if needed. In Four Oaks’ humid climate, ensure pRoper subgrade drainage so water doesn’t wAsh out the fill or cause rutting under the gravel surface.
Local uses include raising yard grades to improve drainage, backfilling around foundations, building up areas for patios or sheds, and filling low spots after septic or utility work. Because Four Oaks sees regular rain, many homeowners use fill dirt to improve runoff and reduce standing water in yards.
Price depends on material and delivery distance, but regionally in North Carolina, delivered fill dirt often falls within a modest price range per cubic yard. For an accurate, location-specific price for Four Oaks, request a quote through Hello Gravel and include delivery details and desired drop location.
Small landscape fills typically don’t require permits, but larger grading projects, fills near wetlands, or changes affecting drainage may trigger county permits in Johnston County or sTate approvals. Check with the Four Oaks or Johnston County building and planning department before large deliveries, and our team can help point you to local resources.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but there are no guarantees.
Clear a drop zone and truck access path, mark the preferred dumping location with paint or stakes, and remove low-hanging branches or obstacles that could block a tri-axle truck. If your yard has soft ground or confined access, notify Hello Gravel before delivery so the driver and supplier can assess safe placement options.
Stabilize new fill quickly by grading to promote drainage, applying seed or sod, adding mulch, or installing erosion-control fabric and temporary straw for slopes. In Four Oaks’ rainy conditions, include swales or French drains where runoff concentrates and use plants or groundcover to hold soil in place.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
