Why Moravian Falls Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Moravian Falls homeowners are part of a tight-knit community of about 2,850 people in an area experiencing steady growth at 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.00 inches of rain, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports year-round landscaping while still posing drainage and settling challenges after heavy rains. That steady growth and mild climate mean frequent projects—yard regrades, driveway build-ups, foundation backfill, and erosion-control work are common as residents adapt properties or add outdoor living space. Homeowners seek dependable, locally sourced aggregates that compact well and resist washout because proper base materials prevent future settling and costly repairs. Fill Dirt is often the first material pros reach for when establishing grade, building berms, or creating a stable base before adding topsoil or hardscape.Popular Projects in Moravian Falls This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Moravian Falls Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Moravian Falls.
Prices vary by supplier, but fill dirt in the Moravian Falls area commonly ranges from about $10 to $35 per ton depending on moisture, screening, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your zip code during checkout and can provide a firm quote for orders of 3 tons or more.
The least expensive option is usually unprocessed local fill dirt (sometimes called borrow dirt), which is fine for bulk grading and backfill. For driveways you should still plan for a compactable base and a layer of crushed stone on top, since raw fill dirt is not a durable driving surface.
To estimate coverage, first calculate cubic yards: (area in square feet x depth in feet) / 27. One cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction, so convert cubic yards to tons using that range to plan your order.
Order online and choose your preferred delivery date; Hello Gravel connects you with a local supplier and a contracted dump truck for delivery. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our suppliers carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 12 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. If you need more or less, Hello Gravel can arrange multiple truckloads or suggest the most efficient order size.
Buy in bulk to lower the per-ton price, schedule a single delivery to avoid multiple truck fees, and accept locally sourced material to reduce haul distance. You can also request a quote from Hello Gravel to compare single-load pricing versus multiple small deliveries.
Fill dirt alone is not recommended as a finished driveway surface because it compacts but can rut and erode when driven on. For driveways in Moravian Falls, plan to place a compactable base (4 to 6 inches of compacted fill or crushed stone) topped with 2 to 3 inches of crushed rock for a durable surface.
For a 20 ft x 20 ft area (400 ft2), calculate cubic yards by multiplying area by depth in feet and dividing by 27. For example, at 4 inches (0.333 ft) depth you need about 4.9 cubic yards, which is approximately 6 to 7.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction.
Two inches of fill dirt is only suitable for light grading or small leveling adjustments and is not enough for structural fill or driveway bases. For driveways or load-bearing areas you should plan for at least 4 to 6 inches of compactable material plus a proper top layer of stone.
Because weight-to-volume varies, use this approach: convert tons to cubic yards using 1 ton ≈ 0.67 to 0.83 cubic yards (inverse of 1.2 to 1.5 tons/yd3), then divide coverage by depth. For example, one ton of fill dirt might equal about 0.75 yd3 and will cover roughly 81 square feet at 1 inch depth.
Homeowners can install small amounts of fill dirt themselves, but larger jobs need equipment for spreading and compaction to meet grade and drainage needs. If you are unsure about permits, slope stability, or compaction requirements, consider hiring a local contractor familiar with Wilkes County site conditions.
Clear vegetation and organic topsoil from the delivery area and mark the drop location so the driver can place material where you want it. Ensure good access for a tri-axle dump truck, note any overhead lines or low branches, and add an Order Note at checkout if you need tailgate spreading or special instructions.
For 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches (0.333 ft) depth you need about 12.35 cubic yards. That converts to roughly 15 to 18.5 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction, so plan your order with Hello Gravel for the closest available truck size and minimums.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, texture and rock content can vary with regional geology in and around Moravian Falls. Contact customer service promptly with photos and order details if the material does not match your expectations, and review our refund policy for next steps.
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.
