Why Lake Lure Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Lure has a small, active homeowner community of 2,280 residents and sits in a growing region with a 2.80% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and construction sites balance sun-driven landscaping with seasonal rain events. That combination drives steady demand for stable, locally sourced aggregates: homeowners and contractors need material for site grading, foundation backfill, raised garden beds, and erosion control on sloped lots. Quality fill material matters here because uneven compaction or organic-rich soil can settle or wash out, so Lake Lure projects often call for clean, well-graded fill dirt to create a dependable base before topsoil or landscaping goes down.Popular Projects in Lake Lure This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Lure Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lake Lure.
In the Lake Lure area, delivered fill dirt commonly runs about $10 to $40 per cubic yard depending on distance, material quality, and site access. Converted to weight, that is roughly $8 to $30 per ton, since fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Final price can change with steep-site fees, permitting, or seasonal demand.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; local supplier availability or site access can add time, so order early to secure your preferred date.
For raising or leveling on Lake Lure slopes, use clean, low-organic fill dirt that is well-graded (a mix of sand, silt, and some fine gravel) to compact well. For driveway bases and slope stability, blend or cap the fill with coarser material (bank run or crushed stone) and use geotextile or benching on steep slopes to reduce settlement and sliding.
Fill dirt is not ideal when you need good drainage; it can hold water and restrict percolation. For septic trenches and drainage layers, Rutherford County and most health departments require clean sand or gravel backfill, so check local rules and use engineered backfill where specified rather than generic fill dirt.
Compact fill in 6 to 12 inch lifts using the right equipment for the job: a plate compactor or vibrating plate for small areas, and a sheepsfoot or vibratory roller for road bases and larger lifts. Control moisture during compaction, bench into the slope and use proper drainage outletting to prevent slippage on steep sites.
Fill dirt alone provides limited erosion protection on steep, high-rainfall slopes. Combine it with erosion controls such as seed and mulch, erosion blankets, silt fences, retaining walls, or terracing; inspect and repair after heavy storms and expect periodic maintenance to regrade or reseed bare areas.
Use fill dirt for raising grades and filling low spots, but not as the wearing surface. A layered approach works best: compacted fill dirt for the subgrade, then a base course of bank run or crushed stone for drainage and structural support, and a top wearing layer of crushed stone or rock fines for traction and durability.
You may need permits for large fills, grading, or changes to drainage in Lake Lure and Rutherford County, and there are regulations for work in stream buffers or floodplains. Check with Rutherford County Planning and the Lake Lure town office before major imports, and confirm septic and HOA rules if relevant.
Frequency depends on precipitation, traffic, and how well the base and drainage are built; surface regrading or adding fresh stone is often needed every 1 to 3 years in this region. A properly compacted subgrade with good drainage can keep major repairs to a minimum for many years, but expect routine maintenance after heavy rain seasons.
Expect challenges such as narrow, steep roads, limited truck turnarounds, and sensitive driveways that can increase labor or surcharge costs. Quarry and supplier availability can tighten in wet winter/spring months and during busy landscaping seasons, so plan ahead and note that special access instructions help haulers deliver safely.
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.
