Why Pinnacle Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pinnacle is a growing community with a population of 5,500 and a steady annual growth rate of 2.80%. With a moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rain annually, and a gardening hardiness zone of 8b—local homeowners are seeing more projects that require reliable earthworks: yard regrading, raised beds, driveway and patio sub-bases, and foundation backfill. That steady growth and year-round outdoor use create demand for dependable aggregates that minimize settling, control erosion, and support finished surfaces. Homeowners choose quality materials because impRoper fill can lead to uneven lawns, drainage problems, and added repair costs down the road.Popular Projects in Pinnacle This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pinnacle Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pinnacle.
Fill dirt is subsoil with minimal organic material and a mix of sand, silt, and clay. In Pinnacle and the West North Carolina foothills it often reflects local Piedmont clay characteristics and may be heavier and stickier when wet. Use it to raise grades, fill low spots, or as general backfill; avoid using it as a finished surface or as the wearing layer for driveways.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and truck access, but most homeowners in the Pinnacle area see delivered rates roughly between $15 and $35 per ton for basic fill dirt. Hello Gravel shows final pricing at checkout, and our minimum order is 3 tons; exact cost depends on your address, order size, and any access or spreading requests.
Hello Gravel sources fill dirt from trusted local suppliers and bulk yards across West North Carolina; many local yards or contractors require 3 to 10 ton minimums for delivery. Our platform lists suppliers that serve your zip code and the checkout will show any minimums or minimum-order fees for your specific delivery.
Fill dirt is generally avaIlable year-round in the Pinnacle area, but wet seasons (late fall through early spring) can slow production and delivery on unpaved sites. Hello Gravel’s standard lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST; always plan extra lead time during heavy rain or freeze-thaw periods.
Piedmont clay common around Pinnacle tends to expand when wet and shrink when dry, so fill dirt placed over or mixed with that clay can be prone to movement unless pRoperly compacted and drained. For freeze-thaw resilience, use controlled lifts with compaction, add drainage layers or granular cap material where needed, and avoid using raw fill dirt as a final driving surface to reduce frost-heave risk.
Contractors typically aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density for structural fills. Small residential areas are compacted with plate compactors and rammers; larger areas use vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers. Labor and equipment costs vary by scope, but homeowners in the area often see contractor compaction rates ranging from modest hourly crew rates to $0.50–$2.00 per sq ft depending on access and lift thickness; ask your contractor for a written estimate.
Permit and HOA rules vary by subdivision and local county jurisdictions, so check with your county planning or building office and any homeowners association before adding or moving fill. Simple backyard grade adjustments may not need permits, but driveways, major regrading, or changes to drainage commonly do, so verify requirements before you order material.
Tonnage depends on depth and compaction; as a rule of thumb 1 cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.1–1.4 tons. Example estimates: a 50-ft driveway 10 ft wide at 3 in depth is about 4.6 cubic yards (roughly 5–7 tons); a 10x10 pad at 6 in depth is about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2–3 tons); a 100-ft landscaping swale 1 ft wide and 6 in deep is about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2–3 tons). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with exact dimensions for a tighter estimate.
Fill dirt is inexpensive for raising grades or backfilling, but it does not provide the drainage or load-bearing surface required for a durable driveway. Crushed stone or engineered road base are better choices as structural layers because they drain and compact more predictably. Many local contractors use fill dirt for bulk raising, then cap with road base or crushed stone for the driving surface.
On slopes near Pinnacle, place fill in narrow lifts and compact each lift, install temporary erosion controls (silt fence, straw), use geotextile fabric where needed, and protect the slope with vegetation or riprap once work is done. Consider creating terraces, retaining walls, or drainage swales to slow runoff and locate coarse, well-draining material at the toe of slopes to reduce wAshout.
Hello Gravel typically delivers with tri-axle dump trucks; however tight driveways, low-hanging wires, narrow roads, or steep approaches may require smaller trucks or an alternate drop location. Tell us about access, gate codes, and obstacles at checkout; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed. Our minimum order is 3 tons and we’ll show any access-related fees or notes during checkout.
No—fill dirt is subsoil with low organic content, while topsoil is rich in organic matter for planting. Choose fill dirt for structural fill and grading; choose topsoil when you need to grow grass, plants, or a garden. If you need both, order each separately or ask Hello Gravel for guidance on how much of each to buy.
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.
