Why Middlesex Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Middlesex is a growing community with a city population of 7,540, and nearby development is driving steady demand for residential grading, foundation work, and yard regrading. With an annual growth rate of 2.80% and a metro area population of 2.3+ million, homeowners and contractors are tackling more site work that depends on reliable bulk materials. Middlesex's climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of dry spells and periodic heavy rain events, so proper grading and stable fills are critical. That combination of growth and local weather means homeowners often need quality fill dirt to raise low areas, prepare building pads, and control runoff; clear specs and dependable delivery reduce the chance of delays and costly rework.Popular Projects in Middlesex This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Middlesex Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Middlesex.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with little organic matter used to raise grades, backfill foundations, or fill low spots. In Middlesex and West North Carolina it is commonly used for yard grading, utility trenches, and behind retaining walls where plant growth is not required. If you plan to grow plants or install lawns, topsoil or a blend is a better choice on top of the fill dirt.
Local prices for delivered fill dirt in Middlesex typically range from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard, or roughly $12 to $35 per ton, depending on source, haul distance, and order size. Small orders and tight access can push pricing higher, while larger truckloads or nearby suppliers can lower the cost. Check our checkout for exact pricing and available discounts in your zip code.
Loose fill dirt usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, while compacted fill can be closer to 1.5 tons per cubic yard. For yard grading estimate using 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a practical rule of thumb, then adjust if your project calls for heavy compaction. Always measure in cubic yards first, then convert to tons for ordering and delivery.
Contractors in West North Carolina generally prefer crushed stone or road base for driveway subgrades because those materials drain and compact better under traffic. Fill dirt is commonly used to build up or level the yard and for non-structural backfill, but it is not a substitute for a compacted stone base on driveways. If you need a durable driveway, plan for a stone base topped with surface material rather than clean fill dirt.
Yes. Middlesex sees wet periods and occasional freeze/thaw cycles that can affect fill dirt settling and workability. Avoid placing large fills when the ground is saturated; wet fill holds water and compacts poorly, increasing settlement and erosion risk. Spring and early fall are generally better for placement, and good drainage and staged compaction reduce long-term issues.
Most deliveries arrive by tri-axle dump truck; typical requirements are about a 10- to 12-foot clear driveway width and adequate turning room and overhead clearance. Tell us about bridge or weight limits, narrow lanes, or tight turns when ordering so we can select the right truck; minimum orders start at 3 tons. You can request a preferred drop location at checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Search terms that indicate commercial intent include 'bulk fill dirt truckload', 'site fill delivery', 'ton of fill dirt', 'construction fill dirt', 'contractor delivery', and 'bulk delivery Middlesex NC' or 'zip code'. Phrases like 'semi load' or 'yard grading contractor' also point to larger, professional purchases. Using these keywords when you search helps you find suppliers set up for big loads and fast scheduling.
Large fills that change drainage, affect wetlands, or alter grades near property lines may require permits or erosion control measures from Nash County or the local permitting office. Simple small-scale grading and backfill usually do not need a permit, but projects tied to septic systems, floodplains, or road access often do. Contact Nash County Planning and Inspections or your local building department before large fills to confirm requirements.
Homeowners commonly worry about erosion, uneven settling, poor compaction, and lack of vegetation when using fill dirt. Proper installation—placing fill in thin lifts, compacting each lift, adding a top layer of topsoil for planting, and seeding or mulching slopes—reduces these problems. For ongoing care, monitor low spots for pooling and regrade or add material where settlement occurs.
Measure the backfill area in cubic feet (length x height x depth), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.25 to 1.35 to estimate tons for ordering. Example: a 50-foot wall with 1 foot of backfill height gives 50 x 1 x 1 = 50 cubic feet, which is 1.85 cubic yards; at 1.3 tons per cubic yard you would order about 2.4 tons. Always add 5-10% allowance for compaction and waste, and contact us if you want help calculating quantities for your Middlesex address.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
