Why Pine Knoll Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a population of 1,353, Pine Knoll Shores sits within a growing regional market (metro area population 2.3+ million) that is expanding at 2.80% annually. The town's climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners balance sun and frequent moisture when planning yards and small construction projects. That combination increases demand for dependable base materials for grading, utility trenches, driveway builds, and garden terracing. Homeowners and local contractors often look for clean, well-graded fill dirt to raise low spots, build berms, and establish stable subgrades. Quality fill dirt helps reduce settling and improves drainage paths, which shortens project timelines in an area experiencing steady renovation and landscape activity.Popular Projects in Pine Knoll Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pine Knoll Shores Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pine Knoll Shores.
Fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel when you only need to raise or level ground because it is made from native soils without stone. In Pine Knoll Shores, costs can also be affected by local supply and hauling over barrier-island roads, so price differences may narrow if the material must be brought from off-island. Ask for a quote through Hello Gravel to compare delivered prices for your specific address.
Fill dirt is mostly soil with minimal organic matter used to raise grades or fill holes; it compacts well but does not provide structural drainage. Gravel is crushed rock used for load-bearing surfaces and drainage. In coastal Pine Knoll Shores, use fill dirt to build grade and compact the subgrade, then place gravel or crushed stone on top for driveways or paths.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Pine Knoll Shores and nearby Carteret County. Check availability by entering your zip code on our site or contact our sales team to get local quotes and delivery windows. We work with regional suppliers so material will reflect local soils and beach/coastal sourcing considerations.
Costs vary by supplier, truck size, and distance, but a typical tri-axle dump truck (roughly 10-12 cubic yards) delivered in the Pine Knoll Shores area often costs in the $300 to $800 range as an estimate. Local factors like ferrying materials, restricted access, or permit requirements can increase price. For an exact number, request a quote on Hello Gravel—minimum orders start at 3 tons.
To calculate, multiply area by desired depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep needs about 12.3 cubic yards (1,000 * 4/12 / 27). Fill dirt weight varies, but a rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, so that quantity would be roughly 15 to 20 tons; always round up and get a supplier estimate for local soil density.
You should not simply dump gravel over loose fill dirt. In Pine Knoll Shores's coastal setting, compact the fill dirt in layers and install a proper stone subbase before placing surface gravel to prevent settling and drainage issues. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Yes, fill dirt should be compacted to reduce future settlement—especially important in Pine Knoll Shores where high water tables and sandy subsoils can cause movement. Place fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts, compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller, and check compaction to project specifications if you are building for structures or pavement. If you are unsure, consult a local contractor or engineer for compaction standards in coastal soils.
Delivered fill dirt prices in our North Carolina network typically range from about $10 to $40 per cubic yard depending on source, hauling distance, and access. Coastal deliveries to Pine Knoll Shores can be toward the higher end of that range due to logistics and local demand. Use Hello Gravel to get a firm, delivered price for your exact location and quantity.
You may need permits or approvals if your property is in a regulated flood zone, wetlands, or within coastal development restrictions common on barrier islands like Pine Knoll Shores. Check with Carteret County planning and the town offices before major fill work, especially for projects that change elevation or drainage. Hello Gravel can deliver material, but permit checks and compliance are the customer’s responsibility.
Fill dirt is best for raising low spots, creating level pads for sheds/landscaping, backfilling foundations (per engineer specs), and grading for drainage away from structures. In Pine Knoll Shores, use it with attention to compaction and local floodplain rules—top with appropriate surface materials (topsoil and sod for lawns, aggregate for driveways) rather than relying on fill dirt as a finished surface.
Clear vegetation and mark any underground utilities before delivery, and confirm truck access and preferred dump location with your hauler—barrier-island roads and narrow lots can limit where trucks can safely dump. Schedule delivery through Hello Gravel, provide any special instructions in Order Notes, and request that the driver inspect the site for safe dumping; remember tailgate spreading is optional and at the driver’s discretion.
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.
