Why Marshville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marshville is home to a close-knit community with a population of 9,660 and is part of a growing regional market—the wider metro area counts 2.3+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually and a moderate climate featuring 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and small developers are seeing more activity in yard regrading, home additions, and drainage upgrades. That steady development drives demand for reliable aggregate deliveries to support grading, foundation backfill, utility trenches, and landscape reshaping. For many Marshville homeowners, sourcing consistent materials matters: the wrong soil mix or inconsistent compaction can lead to settling, poor drainage, and extra rework after a wet season.Popular Projects in Marshville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marshville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Marshville.
Prices vary by volume, distance from local quarries or pits, whether the material is screened, and site access. Delivery and hauling are included in quotes from Hello Gravel; our minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days (next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee). Contact our team or run a checkout quote to get an exact price for your Marshville address.
Many local suppliers near Marshville offer both screened (finer, fewer rocks and debris) and unscreened (cheaper bulk fill) options, but availability varies seasonally. Screened fill is typically priced higher because of the extra processing and is recommended for finish grading, while unscreened is more economical for large bulk fills. Use Hello Gravel to view supplier-specific options and side-by-side pricing for your zip code.
A 0.25-acre lot is about 10,890 square feet; raising that area by 2 inches requires roughly 60 cubic yards, 4 inches about 120 cubic yards, and 6 inches about 180 cubic yards before compaction. Add a 10-20% allowance for compaction and settling, and convert to tons using an approximate range of 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture. For a tailored estimate enter your target rise and address in Hello Gravel's calculator or get help from our team.
Yes. Marshville’s clay-rich soils hold water and the local freeze-thaw cycle can cause expansion and settlement, which increases the risk of future movement if fill isn’t properly managed. Use well-graded, compactible fill placed in controlled lifts, improve drainage away from the area, and get a geotechnical recommendation for structural backfill or building pads.
Union County and local Marshville ordinances can require permits for significant grading, work in regulated stream buffers, or for projects that change stormwater runoff. Before moving large volumes of fill, check with Union County Planning and Soil and Erosion Control, or call Marshville town offices to confirm permit requirements and any erosion-control rules. For permit-sensitive jobs, we recommend coordinating with a local contractor or engineer.
When properly placed, compacted in lifts, and paired with a well-designed crushed-stone base and good drainage, a fill-backed driveway can perform well for many years or decades. If ordinary fill dirt alone is used without a structural base or drainage, you’re more likely to see settlement, ruts, and poor performance within a few seasons. For driveways, contractors typically use engineered aggregate bases rather than relying solely on fill dirt.
Neither typical fill dirt nor screened topsoil is ideal for footing perimeter drainage; for reliable drainage you want free-draining material such as clean crushed stone or drainage gravel. Crusher-run compacts well and provides structure but contains fines that can retain moisture, while screened fill dirt may hold even more water. Use clean aggregate and perforated drain pipe (with geotextile) for foundation drainage and keep clay-rich fill away from critical drainage zones.
Local contractors commonly use mechanical compaction with plate compactors or rollers, placing fill in 6–12 inch lifts and controlling moisture content for best results. For very clayey soils, contractors may use lime or cement stabilization, or install geotextile fabric to improve load-bearing capacity and reduce settlement. Discuss soil conditions with your contractor so they can recommend lift thickness, compaction targets, or chemical stabilization if needed.
Borrow-pit material can be less expensive per cubic yard because of lower processing and handling, but savings depend on trucking distance, truckload minimums, and whether the borrow material needs screening or quality testing. Hauling delivered through Hello Gravel gives you bundled pricing and local supplier options so you can compare total delivered cost, not just the pit price. Get quotes for both scenarios to see which is more economical for your Marshville project.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling fleets that often work with contractors who provide compaction and site-grade services; you can request compaction or spreading at checkout but note spreading is at the driver’s discretion. Ask any contractor for references, proof of insurance, and for a compaction plan or proof of compaction testing if your project requires it. If you need help vetting options, contact Hello Gravel’s sales team and we can recommend local providers in the Marshville area.
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.
