Why Hampstead Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hampstead homeowners live in a growing market of 28,350 people that benefits from the larger West North Carolina region of 2.3+ million residents and steady expansion at 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, projects here must balance sun exposure with periodic heavy rain. That combination drives demand for reliable grading, drainage, and foundation work—everything from driveway build-ups and level pads for sheds to garden terraces and retaining walls. Homeowners often need clear guidance on the right materials and quantities, so consistent, regionally sourced fill dirt is essential to prevent settling and erosion over time.Popular Projects in Hampstead This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hampstead Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hampstead.
Costs vary by distance, load size, and site access. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who often include free delivery for nearby jobs, but expect delivery fees or fuel surcharges for longer hauls; check your zip code for exact pricing. Minimum order is 3 tons, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. For a precise cost, get a quote through our website or call our team.
Hello Gravel partners with multiple local suppliers and hauling companies that serve Hampstead and Pender County. Use our website to check your zip code and request quotes—our marketplace will match you with nearby vendors so you can compare price, delivery date, and material notes. If you prefer, call our sales team and we can suggest common local sources and typical material characteristics for the coastal plain.
For general grade-raising and backfill in coastal North Carolina, contractors often use structural or engineered fill that contains a mix of sand, silt, and clay and is free of organic material. Pure loamy topsoil is not appropriate for structural fills because it settles and decomposes. For driveway bases and areas needing drainage, granular material like crusher run or #57 stone is recommended instead of standard fill dirt.
Fill dirt density varies with moisture and compaction, but a common rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard (we typically use 1.3 tons/yd3 for planning). To raise a 20x30 ft area by 6 inches you need about 11.1 cubic yards, which equals roughly 14 to 16 tons using that range. When ordering, round up for compaction loss and settling and confirm exact weight with your supplier.
Permits depend on the project scope and location. Small residential deliveries for landscaping usually do not need a permit, but larger grading, work in regulated wetlands, FEMA floodplains, or projects that affect stormwater often require approvals from Pender County Planning and Zoning or state agencies. For septic fields or large regrades, check with the Pender County Health Department and Planning office before ordering.
Installation costs depend on access, volume, equipment needed, and whether compaction testing is required. For simple spreading and compaction on a yard-sized job, local contractors generally charge a few hundred dollars to low thousands; tight access, multiple lifts, or testing will raise costs. Get written estimates from local excavators and ask whether the quote includes compaction, grading, and disposal of any unsuitable material.
Coastal Hampstead has sandy native soils, a relatively high water table, and occasional heavy rain, which can increase settling and erosion risk for uncompacted fill. Proper compaction in lifts, good drainage, and erosion controls (silt fence, seed, or temporary mulch) will reduce settling and washout. Expect minor settlement over the first year; monitor slopes and regrade or add material as needed.
Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grades and backfill, but not usually the best choice for driveway bases, permanent drainage media, or septic drain fields. Driveways usually need compactable granular base (crush and run or #57 stone) for strength and drainage. Septic systems and drainage swales often require engineered fill or specific sand/aggregate per county health and engineering rules—check with Pender County before using standard fill dirt.
Provide your project address or zip code, the purpose of the fill (landscape raise, backfill, septic, driveway), approximate quantity, and any site access constraints. Mention preferences like 'clean fill' or if you need a sandier or clay-rich mix, and request tailgate spreading if you want the driver to attempt it (driver discretion only). Our team can advise on typical local mixes and recommend amounts based on your project.
Place fill in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches), compact each lift, and provide surface drainage so water runs away from the new fill. Use erosion control measures such as silt fence, straw mulch, temporary seed, or erosion-control blankets on exposed slopes until vegetation establishes. For critical loads or structures, hire a contractor to perform compaction testing and follow site-specific recommendations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
