Why Mount Olive Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Olive is a growing community with a city population: 12,700 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million residents that is expanding at a rate of about 2.80% annually. The local climate is moderate — Mount Olive averages 228 sunny days per year, receives about 34.00 inches of rain each year, and falls in USDA hardiness zone 8b — so yards and job sites cycle between wet and dry conditions. That combination of steady growth and climate-driven soil movement creates consistent demand for site work: driveway bases, yard regrades, foundation backfill, and garden terraces. Homeowners seek quality aggregates because properly sourced and compacted materials reduce long-term settling, improve drainage after heavy rainfall, and provide stable bases for paving or structures.Popular Projects in Mount Olive This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Olive Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mount Olive.
Prices for delivered fill dirt in Mount Olive commonly vary with source, quantity, and distance; expect a typical range of about $15 to $40 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and you can get a firm, location-specific quote on our site or by contacting our team. Exact price depends on moisture content, regional availability, and any requested spreading services.
For wet, clay-prone conditions in West North Carolina, pure fill dirt is fine for raising grade but does not improve drainage. We recommend using fill dirt in combination with a granular layer (coarse sand or crushed stone) and proper subgrade drainage, or importing engineered fill if drainage is a major concern. Ask for a supplier mix note in Order Notes and discuss drainage needs with our sales team.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. One cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction, so multiply cubic yards by that range to estimate tons. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 6 inches requires about 18.5 cubic yards, roughly 22 to 28 tons.
Permitting rules can vary by project size and location; smaller residential loads often do not require a permit, but large fills or work that alters drainage may. Before ordering, contact the Town of Mount Olive planning office or county permitting office and call 811 to locate utilities. If in doubt, our team can help point you to local contacts and recommend when to check with authorities.
Yes. Mount Olive and West North Carolina have frequent summer storms and wet periods that can delay deliveries or make sites muddy and unsafe for heavy trucks. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, but we recommend scheduling during drier weather when possible. Drivers may decline tailgate spreading when conditions are unsafe.
For small residential jobs, a plate compactor rental can be $50 to $150 per day, while contractor equipment (skid steer or roller) and labor for larger areas commonly run $300 to $1,500 depending on size and access. Proper installation usually requires placing fill in 6- to 12-inch lifts and compacting each lift. Get local contractor quotes for accurate pricing and ask if they include grading and drainage work.
Fill dirt can be used to raise grade but is not a substitute for a stable driveway base because it compacts poorly as a wearing surface and can retain moisture. For a driveway in Mount Olive, contractors typically place fill dirt to build grade, then use crusher run or 21A stone as the structural base and a wearing course on top. If you want long-term durability, plan for a granular base rather than relying on fill dirt alone.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers using tri-axle dump trucks for residential deliveries; typical bulk truckloads range from about 10 to 15 tons per truck or roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards depending on the truck. Availability is regional and can vary seasonally; check your zip code on our site to see local supplier options and lead times. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and we can schedule deliveries to your preferred date when possible.
Fill dirt provides bulk and can raise a pad, but it is prone to settling and rutting if used as the surface material, especially in West North Carolina's wet climate. For a durable parking pad, compact fill dirt well as subgrade and top with a proper gravel base (crusher run) and a wearing surface. Expect occasional regrading and adding more stone over time, particularly after heavy rains.
Steep slopes and heavy rain in the region increase the risk of erosion when importing or placing fill dirt. Use erosion-control measures like terraces, silt fences, straw wattles, geotextile fabric, or retaining walls and establish vegetation quickly to stabilize slopes. Large grading changes may trigger permit and stormwater requirements, so check with local authorities before starting work.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion based on safety and site conditions and it is not guaranteed. For order adjustments, call our team or use the contact options on the order confirmation page.
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.
