Why Monroe Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Monroe has a population of 78,358 and is experiencing steady development as the area grows at 2.80% annually. With a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and plant hardiness zone 8b—homeowners and contractors are pushing forward with new landscaping, additions, driveways, and yard grading. That steady growth increases demand for reliable aggregates for site prep, drainage, and backfill. Homeowners choose quality materials to ensure proper compaction, reduce future settling, and control stormwater on sloped lots. Because local soils vary, sourcing consistent, regionally appropriate materials helps finish projects faster, cuts down on callbacks, and protects foundations and paved surfaces. Fill Dirt is a practical, economical subsoil material used to raise grades, backfill foundations and trenches, and create a stable base before topsoil or pavement is added. In Monroe’s climate, with 34.00 inches of rain and 228 sunny days, properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps manage erosion, maintain designed slopes, and keep grading true through wet seasons. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers who provide regionally sourced fill dirt, transparent pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery, and guidance on quantities so you get the right material for your project without extra trips to the yard.Popular Projects in Monroe This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Monroe Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Monroe.
Delivered prices for fill dirt in Monroe vary by supplier, load size, and distance; a common local range is roughly $10 to $30 per ton. Volume discounts and hauling logistics can push price lower for larger orders, while small loads or difficult access can increase the effective per-ton cost.
Most Monroe contractors use plain fill dirt (subsoil with minimal organic matter) for raising grades and backfill, but they do not use it alone as a driveway base. For driveways they recommend compacted crushed stone or quarry base on top of properly placed fill dirt so you get both grade control and a stable, draining surface.
Use this quick method: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to get tons. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches is roughly 12.3 cubic yards or about 15 tons; raising the same area 8 inches is about 24.7 cubic yards or about 30 tons. Scale that to your lot size to estimate material needs, and add 5–10% for settling and compaction.
Monroe’s humid climate with seasonal heavy rain and occasional freezes means fill dirt can settle, compact, and heave if it contains a lot of clay or organic material. Proper placement in layers, compaction, and using well-draining surfacing (like crushed stone) where needed reduce issues; consider geotextile or engineered fill for low spots or areas with poor drainage.
Permit needs vary by project size and location; many small backyard fills do not require permits, but significant grading, changing drainage, creating retaining walls, or altering stormwater flow often triggers city or county review. Contact Monroe Planning and Union County Building Inspections to confirm requirements before beginning major fill or grading work.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; many areas offer free delivery but fees depend on supplier distance and site conditions. Local suppliers commonly add surcharges for long drives, tight access, off-road drops, or weekday rushes; always request a full quote that lists any fuel, small-load, or equipment fees before ordering.
Contractors generally place fill dirt in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller until the layer is firm and does not compress under load. For structural areas like garage slabs and paved driveways they often specify an engineered base and may require compaction testing or a geotechnical recommendation to meet building codes.
Yes. The Piedmont around Monroe can have clay-rich subsoils, pockets of organic topsoil, and occasional construction debris in recycled material; these can cause poor drainage, settling, or instability. Ask suppliers for 'clean fill' if you need subsoil free of roots and organics, and consider a soil test if you suspect contamination or plan to build on the new fill.
Turnkey pricing is typically a combination of material cost plus machine and labor charges; many contractors quote material per ton plus an hourly rate for equipment (for example an excavator or skid steer) and crew. Depending on site complexity, expect quotes that either list a flat material plus equipment fee or a bundled per-cubic-yard or per-ton turnkey price; get a written breakdown so you can compare bids.
Common alternatives include clean compacted structural fill, crushed stone/quarry base, and engineered fill mixes. Fill dirt is usually the least expensive option per ton but does not provide a stable, draining surface for driveways or patios; crushed stone or engineered fill costs more but reduces long-term maintenance and provides better load-bearing performance.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low-hanging wires, and landscaping; mark the desired dump location and any underground utilities. Ensure trucks have safe access and a firm turning/dump area, request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (driver discretion), and communicate site constraints with Hello Gravel during ordering so suppliers can quote appropriate equipment and 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.
