Why King Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
King is a city of 15,420 residents experiencing steady development, with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round landscaping and a steady run of residential projects. As King and the surrounding West North Carolina metro (2.3+ million people) expand, homeowners and contractors frequently need reliable aggregates to grade lots, backfill foundations, build driveways, and control erosion. Consistent, well-sourced materials reduce the risk of settling and poor drainage, so local buyers prioritize fill dirt that compacts predictably and matches the area's soil conditions.Popular Projects in King This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - King Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in King.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is scheduled 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by local supplier, distance, and job access—many King-area customers get free delivery, but small orders or tight access may incur a charge; check your zip code or request a quote for a precise price.
For 1,000 square feet at 4 inches deep you need about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 16 tons using a common conversion of 1 cu yd ≈ 1.3 tons). At 6 inches deep you need about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 24 tons). These are estimates for typical fill dirt; final amounts can vary with compaction and moisture, so order a little extra or contact our team for a precise calculation.
Fill dirt is good for bulk raising and grading low spots, but on its own it is not ideal as a finished driveway surface in King's clay-prone, rainy climate. For driveways or slopes that need drainage and durability, top with a well-graded base material (crush-and-run/road base) and a surface layer of gravel. Use fill dirt beneath the structural layers for volume, then add compactible aggregate layers to manage water and traffic.
Fill dirt with a high clay content retains water, which can worsen drainage and increase the risk of frost heave in seasonal freezes and heavy rains. Proper compaction, establishing positive slope away from structures, and adding a permeable aggregate layer under critical areas reduces standing water and frost movement. In King, plan for drainage runs or french drains where water collects and consider mixing or capping clay fill with sandier material in frost-susceptible spots.
For yard grading use clean fill dirt with minimal organic material for stable subgrade; avoid topsoil as structural fill. For any area that will receive traffic, pair fill dirt with a compactible base like 3/4" minus crush-and-run or road base to improve drainage and compaction. In wet clay areas consider specifying a sandier structural fill or importing engineered fill for critical elevations and near foundations.
Contractor pricing in the King area varies with crew size, equipment, and site access; expect rough ranges of $50 to $125 per hour for labor and small equipment work, or $300 to $1,000+ for a day rate depending on machine use. Some contractors price by the cubic yard or ton for spreading and compacting—commonly $5 to $15 per cubic yard—while larger grading jobs are often quoted per job. Get at least two written estimates and confirm whether the price includes compaction, hauling, and disposal of excess material.
Common alternatives include crusher run/road base (better for driveways and compaction), sandy fill or engineered fill (better drainage and frost performance), and topsoil (only for final planting layers). Fill dirt is typically one of the least expensive bulk options per ton because it is basic subgrade material, while road base and engineered fills cost more but reduce future maintenance and drainage problems. Prices vary regionally, so compare local quotes and factor in long-term performance when choosing material.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles and mark any desired drop location with flags or stakes so the driver can place material safely. Make sure access is passable for a tri-axle dump truck and note overhead wires, steep driveways, or soft ground on the order notes. Contact Hello Gravel with site photos or special instructions and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to attempt spreading (driver discretion; not guaranteed).
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
