Why Holly Ridge Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Holly Ridge is a growing community with a city population: 10,880 and ties to a larger regional market (metro area population: 2.3+ million). With a steady growth rate: 2.80% annually and moderate climate—annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, 228/year sunny days, hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners and small builders are regularly taking on projects that need reliable earthwork. New construction, raised garden beds, driveway grading, and backyard regrading are common as lots are developed and updated. That steady development and the region's mix of sun and rain make consistent, quality aggregates important: homeowners need fill that compacts well, sheds water where intended, and supports foundations and hardscapes without excessive settling. Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice for many Holly Ridge projects. In a climate with annual rainfall: 34.00 inches and frequent sun, properly sourced fill dirt helps raise low areas, improve drainage away from structures, and provide a stable base under patios, walkways, and sheds. Because regional soils vary, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who know the geology here and can supply clean, compactable fill dirt delivered by professional dump trucks. We provide transparent pricing, scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day available before noon CST), and guidance so homeowners get the right material for long-term performance.Popular Projects in Holly Ridge This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Holly Ridge Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Holly Ridge.
Delivered fill dirt in Holly Ridge usually runs in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on the supplier, moisture content, and distance from the source. Local sourcing and seasonal demand (wet weather increases hauling costs) cause prices to vary, so get an exact quote for your zip code and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
For Holly Ridge yards and non-structural driveway build-ups, a sandy clay fill dirt works well because it holds shape but drains better than heavy clay. For actual driveway surfaces you should top the fill with road base or crushed stone; if drainage is a concern, mix in clean sand or use engineered fill and include a compacted gravel layer.
Calculate volume by multiplying area (square feet) by desired depth (feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a weight factor (typical fill dirt in this area is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard) to estimate tons. Example: 1,000 sq ft at 6-inch depth = 1,000 x 0.5 = 500 cu ft = 18.5 cu yd, which is roughly 22 to 26 tons depending on moisture and composition.
You may need permits or approvals depending on the scope of work: small grading or minor fills often do not require permits, but substantial changes to lot grade, drainage, or impervious surface can trigger town or county permits and HOA rules. Check with Holly Ridge town planning or Onslow County building department and your HOA before ordering fill dirt to avoid compliance issues.
Native clay in coastal North Carolina tends to hold water and can drain slowly, so plain fill dirt with high clay content will compact but may remain wet after heavy rain. For better long-term performance, place fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and mechanically compact each lift, or use a sandier engineered fill or add a granular drainage layer beneath the finish surface to reduce pooling.
Common alternatives are fill sand, crushed stone, and road base. Fill dirt is usually the least expensive but offers the poorest drainage and load-bearing performance; fill sand drains better but can shift; crushed stone and road base cost more but provide far better support and drainage for driveways and high-traffic areas. For driveways in Holly Ridge, consider a base of road base or crushed stone over compacted fill dirt to balance cost and durability.
Ensure adequate access for a tri-axle dump truck and clear overhead or driveway obstructions; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery and most suppliers require a 3-ton minimum and ask for 2+ business days lead time. If you want spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but know drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Plan on ordering 5% to 10% extra fill dirt to allow for compaction and settlement after placement, and consider more if the material is wet or if heavy compaction is expected. For larger projects or uncertain site conditions, ask Hello Gravel for advice and we can help you estimate a conservative overage amount.
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.
