Why Morrisville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Morrisville homeowners face steady demand for reliable site prep as the city—city population 36,180—expands within a growing regional market (metro area population 2.3+ million). With a 2.80% annual growth rate, more yards are being reshaped for patios, driveways, and home additions. The local climate—228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means soils can compact unevenly after wet seasons and require proper grading for long-term drainage. That combination of growth, moderate rain, and variable soils drives homeowners and contractors to choose quality aggregates. A dependable fill material helps level low spots, build up pads for sheds and patios, and establish consistent grades before final landscaping or paving, reducing future settling and drainage problems.Popular Projects in Morrisville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Morrisville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Morrisville.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Morrisville typically vary with source, truckload size, and haul distance. Expect a rough range of about $10 to $30 per ton (about $15 to $45 per cubic yard) delivered, with tighter quotes available at checkout after you enter your zip code. Prices can rise for small orders, heavy hauling from outside the region, or specialty clean fill; get a local quote for a precise number.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch needs about 3.1 cubic yards, and by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards. One cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 (approx) to estimate tons and round up for settlement and compaction losses.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, but many local suppliers or haulers in the Morrisville area prefer full truckloads of roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards (tri-axle). Smaller deliveries are often available but can carry higher per-ton costs. Check checkout for supplier-specific minimums and any delivery fee based on your address.
Fill dirt alone is not the best long-term base for driveways in clay-rich areas around Morrisville because it can hold moisture and shift. For driveways we recommend structural fill or a road base/crushed stone cap over compacted lifts to improve stability and drainage. If you must use fill dirt for raising grades, compact it in 4-6 inch lifts and cover with a proper base material before paving.
Proper compaction depends on soil type, moisture, and equipment, but a common approach is placing fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compacting each lift. With a vibratory plate or small roller you may need roughly 6 to 10 passes per lift; larger rollers need fewer passes. For structural work, aim for 90-95% relative compaction and confirm specs with your engineer or local inspector.
Morrisville's humid climate and periodic heavy rains increase erosion risk and can saturate loose fill dirt, causing settlement and rutting. Proper compaction, erosion control (silt fences, seeding), and slope/drainage management reduce these issues. In low spots or poorly drained areas consider using crushed stone or engineered fill instead of loose fill dirt to improve performance.
Small residential deliveries and minor grade changes often do not require a permit, but larger fills or changes that affect drainage may trigger local permitting with the Town of Morrisville or Wake County. Sediment and erosion control rules apply for larger disturbed areas, and HOA rules may also restrict grading. Contact Morrisville Planning or Public Works before major regrading to confirm local requirements.
Standard delivery times are 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for areas where our network can schedule a truck. Same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on supplier and truck availability; check the checkout calendar and call our team if you need expedited service. Deliveries are made by local contracted haulers in dump trucks, typically tri-axles.
Fill dirt is intended for bulk elevation and backfill rather than as a final base layer; it drains poorly compared with crushed stone or road base. For driveways or areas needing good drainage, crushed stone or road base provides better load distribution and water movement in Morrisville's clay soils. A typical approach is to use compacted fill dirt to raise grade, then install a structural stone base and surface on top.
Expect some initial settlement in the first year as loose fill consolidates—commonly 5% to 15% depending on soil and compaction. Plan to monitor low spots after heavy rains and top up or re-grade as needed, typically within 1 to 2 seasons for small projects. Good compaction up front and grading for drainage will reduce maintenance frequency.
Beyond material and delivery, factor in compaction, equipment rental, and installation labor. Homeowners renting a plate compactor may pay $100 to $300 per day, while contractor-installed grading and compaction can add roughly $15 to $60 per cubic yard depending on job complexity. Always get local quotes that include site prep, access, and any erosion-control measures for an accurate total.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
