Why Harkers Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harkers Island is home to 1,040 residents (city population) and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million (metro area population). The community is experiencing steady demand for home and yard improvements as the region grows at 2.80% annually (growth rate). Local climate factors — 228 sunny days per year (sunny days) and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall (annual rainfall), in hardiness zone 8b (hardiness zone) — make both drainage and soil stability important considerations for projects. Homeowners updating driveways, building up low yards, or preparing foundation backfill need dependable materials that resist erosion and settling. Quality fill dirt, correctly graded and compacted, helps armor yards against seasonal runoff, supports landscaping beds, and creates a stable base for paved surfaces and structures.Popular Projects in Harkers Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harkers Island Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Harkers Island.
Delivered fill dirt prices vary with supplier, distance, and whether the material is screened. In Harkers Island you can typically expect roughly $10 to $25 per ton delivered, though tight local supply, truck access, or screening can push prices higher. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact quotes before ordering.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance to Harkers Island; many orders qualify for free delivery but remote/coastal locations can incur a delivery or fuel surcharge. You will see exact delivery charges at checkout and can choose a delivery date.
For coastal use choose clean, low-organic fill dirt with good drainage (sandy loam or compactable subsoil) rather than material with high organic content or debris. Avoid bringing in material saturated with salts or coastal debris that could harm plantings or corrode buried metals, and add a gravel cap or geotextile for drainage and surface protection. Note that local suppliers vary, so add material preferences in Order Notes when you check out.
Use this method: area (sq ft) × depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. For 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft): 1,000 × 0.5 ÷ 27 ≈ 18.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 24 tons of fill dirt. Order a bit extra (5-10%) for compaction and settling.
Possibly. Harkers Island parcels can be in flood zones, wetlands, or areas regulated by Carteret County, the NC Division of Coastal Management, or the Army Corps of Engineers, and placing fill in those areas often requires permits. Check with Carteret County planning or the local floodplain administrator before ordering so your project complies with local and state rules.
Proper installation uses 4- to 6-inch lifts compacted with a plate compactor or roller, and attention to drainage to limit settlement. Contractor rates vary by scope; local rates commonly range from about $50 to $150 per hour for machine work, and a small driveway prep job often runs from several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on size and access. Get written quotes that specify compaction method and ask for references or proof of compaction if required for structural work.
Screened fill dirt is cleaner and better for building pads, near finished lawns, and landscaping because it has less debris and organic matter. Unscreened fill is usually cheaper and fine for bulk mass fills or rough grading where finish appearance and small debris are not concerns. Availability depends on local suppliers, so request screened material at checkout if you need it.
Fill dirt itself can last indefinitely if properly compacted and drained, but expect initial settlement during the first year. For driveways, protect the surface with a gravel cap and regrade or add material periodically after storms or heavy use. Regularly inspect drainage, especially after coastal storms, and address low spots early to avoid erosion.
Fill dirt is not an effective long-term erosion control material on exposed shorelines; it can wash out during storms. Crushed stone, riprap, engineered coastal armoring, and vegetation combined with proper permits are typically recommended for shoreline protection. Consult a coastal engineer and local regulators before placing any material along the shoreline.
Standard delivery windows are 2+ business days, and Hello Gravel offers a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee when available. Coastal deliveries can be affected by weather, high demand in spring/summer, and truck access on small island roads, so lead times may be longer during busy seasons or after storms. Hello Gravel will confirm the delivery window at checkout and you can choose a preferred date.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout. Spreading is not guaranteed and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. If spreading is critical, arrange for a local contractor to finish grading.
Verify the delivered material's color, texture, and smell, check approximate volume against your order, and look for excessive organic debris or large rocks. Photograph the load and delivery location right away and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly if anything seems wrong so we can help resolve the issue. Keep in mind natural variation due to regional sourcing.
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.
