Why Ocean Isle Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ocean Isle Beach has a population of 9,130 and sits in a climate with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. With a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually and a metro area population of 2.3+ million, local construction and landscaping demand is steady—driven by shoreline maintenance, new home projects, and yard regrading. Homeowners here often need reliable bulk materials to manage drainage, raise low spots, and prepare sites for patios, driveways, or planting beds. That makes quality fill dirt a common request: a dense, low-organic dirt used to bring sites to grade, support foundations, and reduce erosion. Because coastal properties can face shifting grades and salt-influenced soils, choosing a consistent, locally sourced fill dirt helps projects finish faster and perform better over time.Popular Projects in Ocean Isle Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ocean Isle Beach Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ocean Isle Beach.
Fill dirt is natural soil used to raise or level ground; it usually has low organic content and larger particles than topsoil. In Ocean Isle Beach this material is used to build up yards, raise house pads, or fill low spots, but it often requires compaction and proper drainage because coastal soils can be sandy and near the water table.
Prices change with market conditions, distance, and volume, but delivered fill dirt in coastal North Carolina commonly falls in the range of about $15 to $40 per ton (roughly $20 to $55 per cubic yard). For an accurate, up-to-date price for Ocean Isle Beach, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or call our team.
For driveways and general yard raising, contractors in Ocean Isle Beach often prefer clean, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well; sometimes a mix with crusher run or coarse gravel is used on top for drainage. If you are near salty or sandy zones, ask for locally sourced fill that matches regional soils and consider a drainage layer to avoid saturation.
Use the formula: (area in sq ft) x (depth in feet) / 27 = cubic yards. For 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft): 1,000 x 0.5 / 27 = about 18.5 cubic yards; allow 10-20% extra for settlement and compaction, so order about 20 to 22 cubic yards. Convert to tons using local density (roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard), which in this example is about 24 to 36 tons depending on compaction and moisture.
Possibly. Filling near dunes, wetlands, or within certain elevations can trigger local or state permits in Ocean Isle Beach and Brunswick County, and coastal projects sometimes need review by the NC Division of Coastal Management. Check with the Ocean Isle Beach building department or county permitting office before large deliveries, and consult Hello Gravel or a local contractor if you need help identifying permit requirements.
Fill dirt can raise grades to improve runoff, but on its own it is not a drainage solution in sandy, high-water-table coastal areas. To control erosion and improve drainage in Ocean Isle Beach, pair fill dirt with proper grading, geotextile fabric, a layer of crushed stone or gravel, and vegetation or erosion control matting; proper compaction and slope design are also critical.
Not without testing and approvals. Septic drain fields and structural slabs typically require engineered fill with specific compaction and material specs; local health and building departments in Ocean Isle Beach will have rules. Always consult a licensed engineer and obtain required inspections before using fill dirt in those critical applications.
Common extra costs include spreading and grading labor, compaction equipment or contractor fees, disposal of existing soil, and any required permits or erosion controls. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion; professional spreading and compaction by a contractor typically adds several hundred dollars depending on site access and project size.
Crushed stone or crusher run compacts better and provides stronger load-bearing and drainage for driveways, so it generally lasts longer than plain fill dirt. Sand blends better with beach aesthetics but drains poorly and won’t compact for vehicular loads; for most driveway and long-term landscaping needs in Ocean Isle Beach, contractors prefer a compacted stone base with select fill used only for grade adjustments.
Yes. Hurricane season and late-spring to fall heavy rains can delay deliveries, make compaction difficult, and increase erosion risk after placement. Schedule deliveries for drier months when possible, allow buffer days around storms, and plan erosion control measures if you must work during the wet season.

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.
