Why Lumberton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lumberton's city population is 42,307 and the area is part of a growing West North Carolina region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—means yards and foundations face both wet seasons and active plant growth. That combination drives steady demand for reliable earthwork materials: homeowners need fill dirt to raise low spots, backfill foundations and utility trenches, and create level beds for patios and landscaping. Quality fill dirt reduces future settling, speeds project timelines, and helps protect new plantings and structures against water pooling and erosion in Lumberton's climate.Popular Projects in Lumberton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lumberton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lumberton.
Delivery costs vary with load size, distance from the supplier, and site access. In the Lumberton area, delivery is often free for nearby suppliers or can range from about $50 to $250 for longer hauls or tight-access jobs; Hello Gravel shows delivery options at checkout and requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Prices fluctuate by source, moisture content, and hauling distance, but local fill dirt in Lumberton typically falls between about $10 and $25 per ton, or roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard. Because regional supplies and trucking affect price, we recommend getting a quote through Hello Gravel to see exact pricing for your zip code.
Many local suppliers and haulers serving Lumberton provide delivery, and Hello Gravel connects you with those vendors. Tailgate spreading may be available but is performed at the driver's discretion; request spreading at checkout and note that it is not guaranteed for safety and access reasons.
Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade, backfilling, and building up low spots but is not a recommended finished surface for driveways. Lumberton's clay soils and humid conditions hold moisture, so for driveways use a compacted crushed-stone base or gravel topping over properly compacted fill dirt with good drainage and, when appropriate, geotextile fabric.
Calculate cubic feet: area (ft2) x depth (inches) / 12, then convert to cubic yards by dividing by 27. Multiply cubic yards by a material conversion factor to get tons; for native fill dirt use about 1.2 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb. Example: to raise 1,000 ft2 by 6 inches: 1,000 x 6/12 = 500 ft3 = 18.5 yd3, roughly 22 tons (18.5 x 1.2 = 22.2 tons). Always order slightly more (5-10%) to allow for compaction and settlement.
Use fill dirt for bulk raising of grade and backfill where settlement is acceptable and drainage is not critical. Use crushed stone or washed rock where you need drainage, structural support, or pipe bedding—for example under driveways, foundations, or around drainage pipes—because crushed stone drains and compacts more predictably than fill dirt on Robeson County's clay-heavy soils.
Small landscaping deliveries usually do not require permits, but larger projects that change lot grade, affect wetlands, or are in floodplains may need approval from the City of Lumberton or Robeson County planning and permitting departments. Check with local planning or building departments before placing large orders, and if your work disturbs more than a site threshold (for example, one acre) you may need erosion-control or NPDES permits.
Contractor costs vary with access, slope, equipment, and job size; expect smaller jobs to be quoted by the hour and larger jobs by the cubic yard. Typical local ranges are roughly $8 to $25 per cubic yard (including spreading and light compaction) or equipment-and-labor rates of about $60 to $150 per hour for heavy machines; get multiple quotes to compare site-specific pricing.
Fill dirt can settle and erode if not properly compacted and drained, especially during Lumberton's heavy summer rains. To reduce maintenance, compact in lifts during installation, establish positive drainage, install erosion-control measures, and seed or mulch exposed areas; expect some settlement and occasional top-up in low spots after major storms.
On slopes, fill dirt can increase erosion and sediment runoff if not stabilized. Use terraces, retaining walls, erosion-control fabric, silt fences, and immediate vegetation or mulch to protect slopes, and avoid placing fill near streams or wetlands without permits; consult local ordinances and consider hiring a contractor experienced with slope stabilization in Robeson County.
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.
