Why Manns Harbor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manns Harbor has a city population of 790 and sits within a growing regional market 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, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners see both plenty of sun and periodic wet spells that affect yards and foundations. As homes and infrastructure expand, demand for reliable aggregates for grading, foundation backfill, and yard restoration rises. Homeowners want material that compacts predictably, resists washout, and helps establish proper drainage—basic qualities that reduce rework and long-term maintenance in Manns Harbor's mixed sun-and-rain conditions.Popular Projects in Manns Harbor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manns Harbor Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Manns Harbor.
Delivered fill dirt in Manns Harbor and nearby West North Carolina usually ranges from about $20 to $45 per ton, depending on supplier, truck distance, and moisture content. Using an average weight of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that equals about $25 to $60 per cubic yard. Final price depends on delivery access, minimum order, and any site services like tailgate spreading.
For coastal use in Manns Harbor choose a clean, low-organic screened or structural fill (subsoil) that compacts well and does not contain vegetation or large roots. For driveways, place compactable fill as the lift material then cover with a well-graded crushed stone base for drainage and strength. For erosion control, pair compacted fill with vegetation, geotextile, or riprap as required by site exposure and permitting.
Example estimates: raising a 12 ft by 100 ft driveway 4 inches requires about 15 cubic yards (roughly 20 tons); a 20 ft by 20 ft foundation pad at 6 inches needs about 7.5 cubic yards (about 10 tons); raising one-quarter acre by 6 inches is roughly 200 cubic yards (about 260 tons). Always calculate volume (length x width x depth), convert to cubic yards, and add 10-15% for compaction and settling.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Dare County suppliers and contracted haulers that service Manns Harbor. Typical minimums start at 3 tons, with common delivery trucks (tri-axle) carrying roughly 10-12 cubic yards; smaller loads may be possible but often cost more per ton. Use Hello Gravel to check availability, exact minimums, and delivery pricing for your zip code.
Permitting depends on scope and location: small yard fills may not need permits, but shoreline work, wetland impacts, or large grade changes often require approvals from Dare County and possibly state agencies. Always check with Dare County Planning and the local floodplain authority before placing significant amounts of fill, especially on waterfront or in mapped floodplains. If your lot is in a regulated area, Hello Gravel recommends confirming permits before ordering material.
Manns Harbor's sandy native soils generally drain well, but imported fill dirt composition matters: fine, clay-rich fill holds water more than coarse, granular fill. Near the coast and high water table areas you should expect slower effective drainage and plan for sub-surface drainage, coarser base materials, or geotextiles where needed. For critical drainage or wet sites, consider engineered fill mixes or consult a local contractor.
Residential driveway bases typically require well-compacted lifts; many specs call for 90-95% of standard Proctor density for engineered fills, but local road specs vary. Use plate compactors for thin lifts and a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller for larger areas and deeper fills, completing compaction in 4-6 inch lifts. Confirm specific compaction targets with Dare County or your engineer before final grading.
Fill used to raise grades or support lawns lasts indefinitely if properly compacted, drained, and vegetated, but unprotected fill slopes can erode after heavy storms and require regrading. When used beneath a gravel driveway with a proper crushed-stone wearing surface, expect routine maintenance (topping and grading) every few years rather than complete replacement. Budget for periodic additions of stone or regrading and for erosion control after major weather events.
Fill dirt (subsoil) is best for raising grade and providing a compactable base; it is not a wearing surface. Crushed stone or aggregate base offers load-bearing strength and drainage for driveways and should be installed on top of compacted fill. Screened topsoil is for planting and landscaping; do not use topsoil under driveways since it is too organic and compressible.
Minimize disturbed area, use clean low-organic fill, and install silt fences, erosion-control blankets, and staged vegetation to stabilize slopes. Avoid placing fill in wetlands or below mean high water without required permits, and coordinate with Dare County and state agencies for shoreline work. Consider professionally designed terraces, riprap, or planting plans to reduce erosion and storm impacts.

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.
