Why Pilot Mountain Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pilot Mountain has a population of 6,900 and sits within a growing regional market (the surrounding metro area has a population of 2.3+ million). With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, more homeowners and small contractors are taking on grading, raised beds, driveway builds, and foundation backfill work. The local climate—about 34.00 inches of rain per year, 228 sunny days annually, and hardiness zone 8b—means soils range from loamy patches to clay-rich sections and projects must manage both wet-season runoff and summer drying. That combination drives steady demand for reliable fill dirt that compacts well, supports structures, and reduces erosion. Homeowners in Pilot Mountain want consistent material delivered on schedule to avoid project delays and to match local site conditions.Popular Projects in Pilot Mountain This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pilot Mountain Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pilot Mountain.
Fill dirt is subsoil with few organic materials used to raise grade or fill holes, not for planting. In Pilot Mountain it is commonly used to level yards, build up driveways, and create base layers for patios or foundations where good drainage and compaction are required.
A 1/4-acre (10,890 sq ft) raised 6 inches requires about 202 cubic yards of fill dirt. That is roughly 240 to 270 tons depending on moisture and compaction; we recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for settlement and grading.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and moisture content, but in the Pilot Mountain/West North Carolina area fill dirt typically delivers in the range of about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $12 to $36 per cubic yard). For an exact price, check your zip code in our shop and request a quote since local hauling and availability change costs.
Standard delivery generally requires at least 2 business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders are usually 3 tons; larger loads (tri-axle dump trucks) are common, so pricing and lead times depend on your location and supplier availability.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Pilot Mountain and nearby towns like Mount Airy and Elkin. Enter your zip code on our site or call our team and we will provide available supplier options, delivery windows, and pricing for your address.
Neither is ideal as a finished driveway surface, but for a base layer screened fill dirt (fines removed) compacts more uniformly and drains better on the rolling, sometimes clay-influenced soils around Pilot Mountain. For driveways, consider crusher run or compacted gravel over a screened base for better load-bearing and long-term performance.
Pilot Mountain experiences seasonal rain and mild freeze-thaw cycles that can cause wet fill dirt to settle and shift if not compacted and drained properly. Use staged placement with mechanical compaction, avoid placing saturated material, and provide positive drainage to reduce future settling and frost-related heaving.
Small residential deliveries usually do not require a permit, but importing large volumes for commercial sites, altering floodplains, or changing building pads may require town or county approvals. Contact the Town of Pilot Mountain Planning Department or Surry County Permits before major earthwork to check local rules and any erosion-control requirements.
For small residential areas use a plate compactor or walk-behind tamper; for larger lots or driveways use a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller to reach proper compaction. Local equipment rental centers and small contractors in the region can supply plate compactors, 2- to 10-ton rollers, and guidance on target compaction percentages for your project.
Fill dirt is good for bulk elevation changes but has poor surface growth qualities; topsoil is best for planting and lawns. Crusher run is a better structural base for drives and patios because it compacts well and sheds water; combine materials: use compacted fill dirt to raise grade, then crusher run as a structural base and finish with topsoil where you plan to plant.
Expect some settlement during the first year and plan for minor top-ups or grading, especially after heavy rains. Proper initial compaction and drainage reduce maintenance; areas using fill dirt as a base may need periodic regrading and should be monitored for ponding or erosion after storms.
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.
