Why Montezuma Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Montezuma has a city population of 258 and sits within a growing regional market—nearby the metro area counts 2.3+ million residents and is expanding at about 2.80% annually. The town enjoys 228 sunny days per year and sees 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, placing it in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun, periodic heavy rain, and steady regional growth means homeowners here are increasingly tackling projects that need reliable base material: driveways, grade raises, foundation backfill, and erosion control. Even small landscaping jobs benefit from consistent aggregates, and because Montezuma homeowners often work with limited access and compact lots, having the right material delivered on schedule reduces labor, rework, and drainage problems down the line.Popular Projects in Montezuma This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Montezuma Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Montezuma.
Fill dirt is inexpensive soil used to raise grade, fill holes, or build up low spots. In Montezuma's West North Carolina setting it's commonly used to level yards, fill depressions, and prepare areas for landscaping, but not usually as the structural base for driveways or foundations without pRoper compaction and testing.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Montezuma area generally fall in the range of about $15 to $45 per ton depending on volume, exact material, and distance from the supplier; some orders include free delivery in nearby areas. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and offers transparent pricing at checkout, so check your ZIP code for the most accurate rate.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft) requires about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 24 tons of fill dirt.
Fill dirt alone is not a good driveway base in Montezuma's clay-prone soils because it can retain water and rut under traffic. For driveways we recommend a compacted, well-graded gravel or crushed stone base under any fill-grade to improve drainage and longevity.
Crushed stone or gravel will last much longer as a driveway base in Montezuma because it drains better and compacts into a stable surface. Fill dirt is cheaper for grade work but tends to settle and hold water, leading to more maintenance over time.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2 or more business days from order confirmation, with a next-day option avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery is by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can request a preferred delivery date at checkout; tailgate spreading may be avaIlable at the driver's discretion.
Settlement depends on placement and compaction: loosely placed fill can settle noticeably (several inches), while pRoperly placed fill compacted in lifts typically has minimal long-term settlement (often under a few percent). To reduce long-term settling in Montezuma's soils, use staged compaction and consider a geotechnical review for large or load-bearing fills.
Fill dirt can be used to regrade slopes, but alone it is not the best erosion-control material because it may wAsh on steep, wet slopes. Combine fill dirt with erosion controls—such as topsoil and vegetation, mulch, erosion fabric, or rock armoring—to stabilize slopes in Montezuma's humid climate.
Not usually. Septic systems commonly require approved backfill materials and compaction standards set by county health departments; landscaper-grade fill dirt may contain organic material and poor drainage which are not ideal for backfill. Check local permit requirements and speak with your septic installer before ordering.
Maintenance is usually low for simple grade corrections, but expect some settling, occasional top-ups, and grading after heavy rain, especially on clay soils. If fill dirt is used in driveways or high-traffic areas, you will likely need more frequent repairs or upgrades to a gravel base to reduce ongoing maintenance.
Hello Gravel provides an online material calculator and team support to estimate quantities using your project dimensions, and connects you with local suppliers who know regional soil characteristics.

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.
