Why Graham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Graham is a growing community with a population of 28,520, located in a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b. The broader West North Carolina metro area, which supports a population of 2.3+ million and is expanding at a 2.80% annual growth rate, is driving steady residential and light commercial development. That ongoing growth increases demand for reliable bulk materials for yard regrading, driveway build-ups, foundation backfill, and landscape leveling. Homeowners in Graham need fill materials that account for local seasonal moisture and soil behavior — materials that compact well, resist excessive settling, and help direct runoff away from structures. Fill dirt is the practical choice for raising grade, filling footings, and backfilling trenches in Graham’s mixed sun-and-rain environment. A well-graded fill dirt blend — typically compacted in 4–6 inch lifts — reduces future settling and performs better under the area’s 34.00 inches of rainfall than loose, untreated soil. For sloped sites, a slightly coarser blend or a dedicated drainage layer helps channel runoff during heavy storms. Hello Gravel simplifies getting the right fill dirt by connecting you with local suppliers, providing transparent pricing, scheduling deliveries to fit your timeline, and offering material specifications through Order Notes so you can match soil type to your project needs.Popular Projects in Graham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Graham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Graham.
Delivered fill dirt in Graham typically runs in broad ranges because of supplier and distance differences. Expect roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard delivered, or about $10 to $22 per ton, depending on moisture, source, and trucking; volumes over a few yards often lower per-unit cost. For a specific quote, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our sales team.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers offer free delivery inside certain delivery zones. If a delivery fee applies it depends on distance and truck access; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You will see exact delivery and any fees at checkout.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches. Use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet x inches deep) / 324; then multiply by 1.2 to 1.4 to convert cubic yards to tons because fill dirt weight varies with moisture and compaction. If you want help, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions.
Fill dirt is not the best driveway base because it contains fine soil and can rut or settle when driven on. For driveways you should use a structural base such as crushed stone, gravel, or ABC (aggregate base course) compacted in layers; you can use fill dirt only to raise low areas before laying proper base materials. If you’re unsure, ask Hello Gravel for product recommendations for a driveway build.
In clay-dominant areas, a clean fill dirt with low organic content and some granular material (sand or crushed rock mixed in) gives better drainage and compaction than pure clay. Contractors often blend fill dirt with clean sand or stone fines to improve stability and reduce long-term settlement. Ask suppliers for a sample and explain your project so they can suggest an appropriate local blend.
Alamance County and state septic rules may require specific backfill material and compaction standards for septic systems and work near protected wetlands. Requirements vary by permit and project, so check with Alamance County Environmental Health or the county planning department before ordering fill dirt for septic or regulated wetland work. Hello Gravel can help connect you with suppliers, but permit compliance is the customer’s responsibility.
Some local contractors include grading and compaction as part of an installation bid, but practices vary by contractor and job size. Small deliveries often exclude labor; larger site work commonly includes equipment and compaction charged either by the hour or as a line-item in the bid. Ask contractors for a written scope that clearly states if compaction, moisture conditioning, and final grading are included.
When properly placed, compacted, and covered with topsoil or a stable surface, fill dirt used for grading can last for many years with routine maintenance. Problems occur if fill is not compacted, contains organics, or is left exposed on slopes during heavy rain, leading to settlement and erosion. For driveways or high-traffic areas, expect shorter life unless you install a structural base material over the fill.
Yes. Graham gets spring rains and occasional heavy events, so avoid major fills during very wet periods to prevent poor compaction and rutting. Late spring through early fall is often best for spreading and compaction, but cooler, drier days in fall can also work well. Schedule deliveries with weather in mind and note that Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day possible for qualifying orders.
Common concerns include organic contamination (roots, topsoil), too many rocks, and variable moisture content that affects compaction and weight. Request ‘clean fill’ or a sample photo, ask about source location, and specify if you need screened or rock-free material. If contamination is an issue for your project, consider testing or ordering certified clean fill from a reputable supplier.
To improve compaction results, pick fill with low organic content, avoid delivery during wet conditions, place material in thin lifts (6-12 inches) and use mechanical compaction between lifts. Many contractors use plate compactors, rollers, or excavators for proper density; ask your contractor or supplier about compaction recommendations for your project. If compaction testing is required, arrange this upfront with your contractor or local code officials.
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.
