Why Haw River Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Haw River (city population 6,820) sits in a growing corridor that is part of a larger regional market with a metro area population 2.3+ million and a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate (228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall 34.00 inches, hardiness zone 8b) supports active outdoor projects from new driveways to yard regrading. That combination of steady growth and a climate that alternates sun and significant rainfall drives demand for reliable base materials. Homeowners and contractors need fill materials that stabilize grades, reduce settling, and improve drainage before laying sod, pavers, or gravel. Choosing the right fill dirt helps prevent future repairs and keeps projects on schedule, so quality and regional fit matter for long-term performance in Haw River.Popular Projects in Haw River This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Haw River Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Haw River.
Fill dirt is subsoil material used to raise grades, fill holes, or build up low spots; it is not topsoil and usually contains minimal organic matter. In Haw River (Piedmont region) you’d use fill dirt for grading around foundations, raising yard areas, or filling utility trenches before final surfacing.
Typical delivered prices in the Haw River area usually run in the ballpark of $12 to $25 per ton, which translates roughly to $15 to $33 per cubic yard depending on moisture and how screened the material is. Final price depends on supplier, screening (clean vs unclassified), truck access, and whether delivery is standard or next-day; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.
Most local deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that hold about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and soil type). Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; delivery fees vary by distance, site access, and next-day requests, and many areas see free standard delivery while expedited or tight-access jobs may carry extra charges. Always confirm truck size and drop location when you schedule so the driver can safely deliver.
The Haw River area sits in the NC Piedmont where native soils are often clayey and red, which can hold water and expand/contract with freeze-thaw cycles. For this reason pick fill dirt that is low in organic matter and well-draining if you need stable subgrade; in wet spots consider adding sand or crushed stone and install proper drainage to limit long-term movement. Expect some seasonal heave or settling with untreated clay fills, so plan compaction and grading accordingly.
Compact fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller, aiming for higher compaction (90% to 95% of standard proctor) under structural areas. For a residential driveway, allow 6 to 8 inches of compacted fill dirt topped with 4 to 6 inches of crushed base or gravel for drainage and load distribution. Under concrete slabs, use engineered fill in lifts and a 4- to 6-inch granular base (gravel) directly under the slab rather than loose fill dirt.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27. To convert to tons, multiply cubic yards by an approximate density of 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (1.3 is a common rule of thumb). Example: a 20 ft x 50 ft area filled 6 inches (0.5 ft) is 20x50x0.5/27 = about 18.5 cubic yards, or about 24 tons at 1.3 tons/yd3.
Suppliers commonly offer unclassified fill (mixed subsoil), screened fill (smaller particles and fewer rocks), and 'clean fill' that is free of vegetation and large debris. In the Piedmont you may see more clayey fills with occasional shale or rock fragments; screened or engineered fills cost more but are better for structural work. Ask suppliers or Hello Gravel to specify whether the material is screened and free of organics before ordering.
Permitting depends on scope: small yard grading and typical deliveries usually do not require a permit, but significant cut-and-fill, changes to stormwater flow, or driveway work on state roads may need local or NCDOT permits. Check with Alamance County Planning and Zoning and, if your project affects a state road or culvert, contact NCDOT before delivery. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or the county offices to confirm permit needs before you schedule a big delivery.
Fill dirt itself does not 'expire' but it will settle, especially in the first 6 to 12 months after placement, and may erode on slopes without stabilization. Expect to do follow-up grading and compaction after initial settlement, add more material if low spots develop, and seed or mulch exposed areas to control erosion. For driveways or structural areas, cover the fill with appropriate base material or pavement to reduce ongoing maintenance.
Use fill dirt to raise grades and fill voids where structural support is not the finished surface; avoid placing fill dirt directly under slabs or as a driveway surface. Use crushed stone or roadbase for driveways and under slabs because those materials drain and compact more reliably. Topsoil is for planting and should be used only as a surface layer — not as structural fill.
Common issues include narrow or low-clearance roads for dump trucks, weight limits on local streets, overhead power lines, and insufficient drop zones. Prepare by clearing a firm, accessible drop area, marking underground utilities, and confirming truck routes and permissions with your neighbors or county if needed. Also request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but remember drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
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.
