Why Kitty Hawk Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kitty Hawk is a growing community with a population of 8,430 and a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually. The area enjoys a moderate climate with 228 sunny days per year and sits in hardiness zone 8b, which together shape local landscaping and building needs. As homes and yards are updated, homeowners and contractors frequently need dependable bulk material to level sites, raise low areas, and prepare bases for patios, sheds, and driveways. Fill Dirt is commonly chosen for those tasks because it provides economical bulk for reshaping terrain and supporting structures, and it helps manage erosion when placed and compacted correctly. With steady local development, Kitty Hawk residents look for reliable suppliers who offer clear product details and consistent delivery schedules to avoid project delays.Popular Projects in Kitty Hawk This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kitty Hawk Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kitty Hawk.
Delivered fill dirt in Kitty Hawk typically runs in a range rather than a single price. Expect ballpark delivered pricing of about $12 to $30 per ton depending on source, distance, and truck access; exact pricing and any delivery fees are shown when you check your zip code or request a quote. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers that serve Kitty Hawk; supplier options that appear at checkout depend on your zip code and availability. Minimums commonly start at 3 tons through the Hello Gravel platform, though specific suppliers may have higher minimums or different placement options—check available suppliers and minimums during checkout or contact our team for details.
Kitty Hawk's coastal climate, with sandy native soils, high water table, and occasional heavy rain and wind, increases the risk of settling, erosion, and washout if fill is not properly placed and compacted. Use engineered compaction, erosion controls (silt fence, vegetation), and a gravel top layer for driveways to reduce these issues. For work near dunes or beachfront, check local regulations before moving or dumping material.
Contractors commonly target about 90-95% relative compaction: 95% of the Standard Proctor (ASTM D698) or around 90% of the Modified Proctor (AASHTO T180) for structural fills, depending on engineer specifications. Project type, load, and local code determine the exact spec, so have a soils report and follow the engineer's compaction targets and in-place testing (nuclear gauge or sand cone). Hello Gravel supplies material; compaction is a contractor responsibility.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards of fill (1000 x 4/12 = 333.3 cubic feet = 12.35 cu yd). That is roughly 13 to 16 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction; plan on the higher end if you expect heavy compaction or hire placement equipment. Order a little extra to allow for grading and settling and use our material calculator or contact our team for help.
Yes, grading and moving bulk material in coastal areas can trigger rules—Kitty Hawk and Dare County both have regulations that may apply, especially for dune areas, wetlands, and any work that affects stormwater. Before large grading or shoreline work, contact the Town of Kitty Hawk Planning Department, Dare County, or the NC Division of Coastal Management to confirm permit requirements and erosion-control measures. For routine yard fill, best practice is to use erosion control during and after placement and check local rules if your property is near wetlands or the beach.
Fill dirt is useful to build up grade but is not the recommended final base for a patio because it can settle and hold water. For a stable patio, bring the grade roughly to elevation with compacted fill dirt if needed, then install a compacted crushed stone base (crusher run or 3/4" minus) and a fine bedding layer before pavers or concrete. Topsoil is for plant beds and should not be used as a structural base for patios.
Sandy soils in Kitty Hawk can drain well but lack cohesion, which can lead to shifting under loads; in many cases contractors blend or layer materials for stability. Options include compacted clayey fill in lifts where cohesion is needed, a crushed stone base for structural support, or geotextile reinforcement; a soil test and engineer recommendation will tell you whether blending is necessary for your project. Hello Gravel can deliver the fill material you need—ask about mixing orders or having separate deliveries of stone and soil.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt topped with a gravel driving surface can perform well for years, but loose or uncompacted fill will settle and rut quickly under vehicle traffic. Expect to regrade and add topping stone periodically—usually every 1 to 3 years depending on use and drainage—and maintain drainage paths to avoid washout during heavy rains. For driveways, use at least 6 inches of compacted base stone under a 2-3 inch wearing layer to reduce maintenance.
Hello Gravel typically delivers fill dirt by dump truck (usually tri-axle); standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available if ordered before noon CST. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout—but heavy placement, bobcat work, or precise end placement may require hiring a local contractor or equipment operator. Make sure the truck has safe access to the drop zone and note any placement needs in Order Notes or discuss them with our team before delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
