Why Rex Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rex is a compact, steadily growing community with a city population of 231 located inside a larger metro of 2.3+ million people. The area’s steady expansion—about 2.80% annually—combined with 228/year of sunshine and a mixed local terrain means homes and yards are frequently being updated, graded, or prepared for new landscaping. That steady development drives demand for dependable bulk materials: homeowners need aggregates that compact well, limit erosion, and create a stable base for patios, driveways, and planting beds. Because local soils reflect regional geology, choosing the right fill dirt helps avoid future settlement and drainage problems and keeps projects on schedule and on budget. Fill dirt is a practical match for Rex’s climate and soils. With 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and a hardiness zone of 8b, properly placed and compacted fill dirt reduces water pooling and supports topsoil and plantings above it. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, so you get regionally sourced fill dirt with transparent pricing, a delivery window you choose, and tools to calculate how much material you need—helping you finish grading, foundation backfill, or landscaping prep without guesswork.Popular Projects in Rex This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rex Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Rex.
Costs vary by supplier, distance to your property, and the volume you order. In small towns like Rex, expect price differences driven by hauling distance and truck availability; request a quote through our site to see transparent pricing for your zip code. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows delivery options and any fees at checkout.
Measure the area (length x width x depth) in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.2 to 1.5 to estimate tons (moisture affects weight). For example, a 10 ft by 10 ft area at 6 inches deep is 5 cubic feet or 0.19 cubic yards, so roughly 0.25 to 0.3 tons; always round up and add 5-10% for settling and compaction. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and non-structural backfill because it is low in organic matter. It is not a recommended final structural base for driveways or concrete slabs in wet areas like West North Carolina; use a compacted crushed stone or aggregate base for strength and drainage, with fill dirt only behind or above that base. Proper compaction and drainage are essential to prevent settlement and water problems.
Heavy rain can wash away loose fill and cause erosion, while freeze-thaw cycles can lead to heaving and settlement if material is not compacted. To reduce problems, place fill in thin lifts, compact each lift, and ensure good surface drainage away from structures. Consider erosion controls and vegetation to stabilize the surface on slopes.
Materials in West North Carolina often reflect local clay, loam, or weathered rock and can hold more moisture than sandy soils. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture may vary by supplier; ask your supplier for a brief description or photo if you have specific needs. Note that clayey fill may require more compaction effort and careful drainage planning.
Contractors usually use fill dirt for structural fill and raising grades, topsoil for planting and lawns, sand for trench backfill or improving drainage in specific spots, and crushed stone for structural bases and drainage under hard surfaces. For driveways, patios, or structural work in Rex, most pros specify crushed stone as the base and reserve fill dirt for non-structural areas. Tell your contractor the project details so they can recommend the right mix.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. For small residential projects in Rex, consider ordering the minimum and storing any extras properly, or combine materials for nearby projects to avoid multiple small deliveries. Contact our team if you have access constraints or special requests before placing an order.
Bulk fill dirt is delivered by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and is usually tipped at the agreed drop location on your property. Make sure the truck has clear access, adequate turning radius, and no low overhead wires; note that drivers may be able to spread tailgate material at their discretion but spreading is not guaranteed. Add delivery instructions and a contact number at checkout so the driver can coordinate.
Permit requirements depend on the county and the scope of work; large soil-moving jobs, work near streams, floodplains, or steep slopes often require permits or approvals. Check with your local county planning or environmental office before starting major fills, and consult any HOA rules if applicable. Hello Gravel can deliver material, but we do not handle permitting.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal for sustained heavy loads because it can compress and settle over time unless properly compacted and mixed with structural base materials. For areas with heavy loads in Rex, use a compacted aggregate base or crushed stone designed for traffic, with fill dirt only used as leveling or non-structural backfill. Proper compaction, geotextile separation, and drainage lengthen performance life.
Place fill in thin lifts and compact each layer to limit settlement, and shape the site to direct water away from slopes and foundations. Use temporary erosion controls like straw, seed, silt fence, or erosion blankets until vegetation establishes, and consider retaining walls, terraces, or riprap for steep areas. Regular inspection after storms will help you catch problem spots early.
No, we cannot guarantee an exact color or texture because materials are regionally sourced and natural variation is expected. If color or consistency is important for your project, include details in Order Notes, request a photo or description from the supplier when possible, and order a small test load if practical. Our site shows material descriptions and you can contact our team for guidance before you 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.
