Why Halifax Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Halifax has a population of 1,950 and is experiencing steady local demand as growth continues at about 2.80% annually, driving more home improvement and infill projects. The local climate averages 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of rainfall annually and sits in hardiness zone 8b, so homeowners must balance sun-loving plant choices with careful water management. That mix of sun, rain, and steady growth means frequent needs for grading, drainage fixes, and reliable base material for patios, driveways, and foundation backfill. Homeowners look for aggregates that compact well, resist washout, and minimize future settling—qualities that make Fill Dirt a practical choice for many projects around Halifax.Popular Projects in Halifax This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Halifax Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Halifax.
Costs vary by supplier, haul distance, and order size, but homeowners in Halifax, NC can generally expect delivered fill dirt to run as a low-cost bulk material. For small residential orders (around 10-20 tons) material plus delivery often falls in a broad range—estimate roughly $150 to $600 total as a starting point. Exact pricing depends on your zip code, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and whether you choose next-day delivery or optional services; check our checkout for a precise quote.
For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches depth you need about 9.3 cubic yards (about 12 tons), and at 4 inches about 12.4 cubic yards (about 16 tons). These numbers use a common conversion of roughly 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons for fill dirt; exact weight varies by moisture and local material. Order 10-20% extra to allow for spreading, settling, and grading.
Fill dirt (subsoil with low organic content) compacts well and is appropriate for raising grade or filling voids, but its long-term performance depends on compaction and drainage. In the Halifax area, where site soils can be clay-prone and winters include freeze-thaw cycles, you should ensure proper drainage and mechanical compaction; otherwise, fill dirt can heave or settle. For surfaces that will see vehicle traffic, consider a compacted aggregate base (crusher run) on top of properly placed fill dirt.
Many local suppliers and haulers that Hello Gravel works with can deliver by dump truck and some offer tailgate spreading or additional services, but availability varies by supplier. Tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed; compaction and mechanical spreading are often offered by contractors rather than haulers. If you need spreading or compaction, request those services when ordering or ask Hello Gravel to connect you with local contractors.
Fill dirt is commonly used to raise grade because it is inexpensive and compacts well, making it suitable for building up low spots. For erosion control on slopes, fill dirt alone is often not enough; add vegetation, erosion-control fabric, terraces, retaining walls, or rock armoring depending on slope severity. In Halifax's seasonal weather, combine proper drainage and erosion-control measures with fill dirt for lasting results.
With proper placement, compaction, and drainage, a fill-dirt pad used under lawn areas or light foot traffic can remain stable for many years. Under regular vehicle traffic, however, fill dirt without an aggregate base is prone to rutting and may need repairs in months to a few years. For driveways or heavy loads in the Halifax area, use compacted fill dirt as a grade-raiser only and top with a structural base like crusher run or crushed stone for longevity.
Fill dirt is the least expensive but is not suitable as a finished driveway surface because it compacts poorly under traffic and holds water. Crusher run is often the most cost-effective base for driveways in Halifax: it compacts well and provides a stable, load-bearing layer. Crushed stone is best for a finished surface or improved drainage but costs more; a common approach is fill dirt for grade changes, crusher run for the base, and crushed stone for the top layer if desired.
Small, routine yard fills usually do not require permits, but any work that changes drainage, alters a floodplain, affects neighboring properties, or involves foundation backfill may require permits or inspections. Permit rules vary between Halifax town/county departments, so contact the Halifax County building or planning office before major grading. When in doubt, check local codes or ask Hello Gravel's team for guidance so you meet any local requirements.
Plan to order about 10% extra for minor settling and spreading loss for typical residential projects, and up to 15-20% extra for deeper fills or uneven sites. Halifax's seasonal wetting and freeze-thaw cycles can increase settlement, so a conservative 10-20% allowance helps avoid a return order. If you expect heavy compaction or machine spreading, discuss your project with our team for a tailored recommendation.
Typical costs include material, delivery, labor for spreading, and optional compaction equipment. For small residential jobs in Halifax expect material plus delivery to range from a couple of hundred dollars up to several hundred, with labor and compaction adding a few hundred more depending on scope; larger jobs scale up accordingly. These are ballpark estimates—use Hello Gravel's online quote to get a precise price for your exact quantities, delivery location, and service needs.

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.
