Why Littleton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Littleton is a growing community with a city population of 5,280 and sits within a region showing steady development. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually and a metro area population of 2.3+ million nearby, demand for reliable building materials is on the rise for projects from yard grading to foundation backfill. The local climate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches and about 228 sunny days per year in hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners and contractors need materials that handle occasional wet periods and strong sun. That combination drives interest in dependable, locally sourced aggregates that compact well, resist erosion, and arrive on schedule. For many Littleton projects, choosing the right fill material at the right quantity prevents rework and keeps timelines moving.Popular Projects in Littleton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Littleton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Littleton.
Fill dirt is native soil with a higher proportion of fines (silt and clay) used to raise grade or fill depressions. In Littleton you would use fill dirt for non-structural fills, grading to direct water away from foundations, and building low-elevation landscaping features, but avoid using it as the finished driving or walking surface because it compacts poorly and can hold water.
Prices vary by supplier and availability, but delivered fill dirt in the Littleton area commonly falls in a range of about $12 to $30 per ton (rough estimate). For estimating, fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (use 1.3 tons/cu yd for rough math), so expect about $15 to $40 per cubic yard delivered depending on volume, distance, and moisture.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who serve Littleton; our platform and most local haulers have a minimum order around 3 tons, which aligns with our stated minimum. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and access; many areas offer free delivery for larger orders but check the checkout for exact fees and schedule options for your zip code.
For grading and non-structural fills in West North Carolina, choose fill dirt that is relatively free of large debris and has a mix of fines to compact well; however for driveways and building pads you should use engineered fill or a granular base (road base/crushed stone) on top of structural fill. If a project is structural, get a geotechnical recommendation—local soils and seasonal moisture can affect the ideal gradation.
Compact fill dirt in lifts using a plate compactor or roller; common practice is 4 to 8 inch lifts for hand-operated compactors and up to 8 to 12 inches when using heavy rollers. For structural pads aim for higher compaction (consult a geotech), while landscaping fill can be compacted to lower standards; always moisten and compact each lift to reduce future settlement.
Fill dirt is generally poor for drainage because of its fines, so it is not the best choice where drainage, frost heave prevention, or erosion control are critical. In Littleton you should place a well-draining granular layer (crushed stone or road base) beneath slabs and driveways and use engineered materials or geotextile plus vegetation for erosion control to reduce freeze-thaw and runoff problems.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive per ton but does not drain well and can settle, making it a poor finished surface for driveways or structural backfill. Crushed stone and road base compact better, shed water, and form a stable base for driveways and slabs; for septic backfill follow county requirements—many jurisdictions prefer clean or specified materials rather than native fill, so check local rules before using fill dirt for septic systems.
Surfaces left as fill dirt will likely settle, rut, and grow weeds; expect periodic regrading, topdressing, and compaction after heavy rains, especially in Littleton's seasonal rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles. With regular maintenance a non-traffic landscaping area can function for years, but for driveways or high-traffic zones you should use a granular surface for much longer service life.
Many projects that move large volumes of soil will trigger local permitting, sediment and erosion controls, or haul-route requirements—Littleton properties may fall under town and county (Halifax or neighboring Warren County) rules depending on parcel location. Before ordering large quantities, contact Littleton town hall and the county planning or permitting office to confirm any permits, erosion controls, or trucking restrictions that apply.
Yes, many local contractors offer combined services for compaction, grading, and short-haul placement; costs depend on equipment, project size, and access. As a rough guide, small grading/compaction jobs may add a few hundred dollars, while larger site-prep work can run into the thousands; get written quotes and confirm whether the Hello Gravel delivery driver can place material roughly where needed or if you need a contractor to spread and compact.
Use this quick estimate: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324, and multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to get tons. Examples: 500 sq ft at 4 in needs about 6.2 cu yd or ~8 tons; 1,000 sq ft at 6 in needs ~18.5 cu yd or ~24 tons; 2,000 sq ft at 12 in needs ~74 cu yd or ~96 tons. At an estimated delivered price of $12 to $30 per ton, the 1,000 sq ft at 6 in example would cost roughly $290 to $720 delivered, depending on supplier and local fees.
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.
