Why Hurdle Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hurdle Mills is a growing community with a population of 2,000 and sits inside a larger metro that serves 2.3+ million residents. With a 2.80% annual growth rate, local building activity and yard projects are increasingly common as homeowners update pRoperties and new construction expands. Hurdle Mills enjoys a moderate climate with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a planting hardiness zone of 8b—conditions that support active landscaping but also mean yards must manage both sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners need materials that provide stable grading, predictable compaction, and good drainage to protect foundations, driveways, and planted areas. Fill Dirt is a practical choice for many local projects because it is typically low in organic matter and suitable for raising grades, backfilling trenches, and creating a stable base under hardscapes. In Hurdle Mills’s climate—with regular sun and moderate but meaningful rainfall—pRoperly compacted fill dirt helps prevent settling and erosion when used beneath patios, around foundations, or to regrade yards for runoff control. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers, matching regional fill dirt to local soil conditions and delivering on a schedule you choose. We make ordering straightforward, coordinate delivery via local dump trucks, and provide guidance so your fill dirt performs well in the local environment.Popular Projects in Hurdle Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hurdle Mills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hurdle Mills.
Fill dirt in the Hurdle Mills area is often priced by the ton or cubic yard and varies with haul distance and moisture. Expect a typical delivered range of about $12 to $25 per ton (roughly $15 to $32 per cubic yard using a 1.3 tons/yd3 estimate), though seasonal demand, trucking, and local supplier rates can change that. Hello Gravel shows exact quotes for your zip code and has a 3-ton minimum order.
Use this rule of thumb: 2" depth ≈ 6.2 cubic yards (about 8 tons), 4" ≈ 12.3 cubic yards (about 16 tons), and 6" ≈ 18.5 cubic yards (about 24 tons, assuming about 1.3 tons per cubic yard). Local moisture and compaction change the final weight, so order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for settling and grading. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator to get a site-specific estimate.
Yes, many pRoperties in West North Carolina have clayey soils that hold water and can cause poor drainage. For structural fills, consider mixing or placing free-draining granular material (like crushed stone) near foundations and driveways and install simple drainage (swales, French drains) where water gathers. If you have heavy clay, ask our team about using screened fill or adding a drainage layer before finishing with topsoil or base material.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in 4" to 6" lifts and compact each lift with a vibratory plate, roller, or rammer to achieve good density before adding the next lift. For final driveway structure, fill dirt should be followed by a compacted road base or crushed stone layer rather than left as the wearing surface. If the project requires engineered compaction, follow your engineer's specs or request compaction testing (e.g., Proctor) for a formal job.
In Hurdle Mills the best months for deliveries and installation are typically late spring through early fall when soils are drier and trucks are less likely to cause ruts. Avoid scheduling large fills during wet winter or rainy spring periods and during freeze-thaw swings that can hamper compaction. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day options for orders placed before noon CST, but weather can still affect timing and site conditions.
Hello Gravel works with local haulers that commonly use tri-axle dump trucks for fill dirt, which typically carry roughly 10 to 16 tons per load depending on local weight limits and moisture. Our platform lists exact delivery fees for your address at checkout; some jobs may incur additional fees for tight access, small loads under carrier minimums, or required spreading services. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and you can request delivery details or tailgate spreading in Order Notes.
Fill dirt used for bulk raising and rough grading will perform for years, but expect some settlement during the first 12 to 24 months as the material consolidates. Fill dirt is not a long-term wearing surface for driveways; a compacted aggregate base (road base or crushed stone) is recommended on top for durability. For landscaped areas, screened topsoil or sod will be needed after settling to maintain appearance and plant health.
Use fill dirt when you need to raise grade or fill large voids cheaply; it is cost-effective but not good for bearing traffic or supporting surfaces. For driveways and heavy-use areas choose crushed stone or road base for strength and drainage, and use topsoil or screened soil for planting and final lawns. Many Hurdle Mills projects combine materials: fill dirt for bulk fill, road base for structural support, and topsoil for the finish layer.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by locality, so check your county or township zoning office and your HOA guidelines before major regrading or driveway expansion. Some localities require erosion control, stormwater management, or grading permits for significant changes in elevation or impervious area. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel's team for guidance and we can help you plan quantities and delivery while you confirm any local approvals.
Yes—screened fill dirt is usually worth the extra cost when you need a cleaner finish near lawns, gardens, foundations, or septic systems because it has fewer rocks and debris and is easier to grade and seed. For rough bulk fills where aesthetics and root growth aren't important, unscreened fill is an economical choice. For septic backfill and final lawn grades in Hurdle Mills, most contractors prefer screened material to reduce settlement and avoid future grading problems.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
