Why Rockingham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockingham has a city population of 20,821 and sits inside a growing West North Carolina metro area of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually and a climate that averages 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain, homeowners face steady demand for grading, drainage improvements, and landscaping upgrades. Local development and yard regrading mean many projects require reliable, compactable materials to avoid settling and water pooling. Quality Fill Dirt helps create stable subgrades for patios, driveways, and foundation backfill by providing a dense, low-organic base that supports surface materials and directs runoff away from structures in Rockingham’s mix of sun and seasonal rain.Popular Projects in Rockingham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockingham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Rockingham.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel in Rockingham because it is a basic soil product without stone or decorative qualities. Prices vary by local supplier and composition, but fill dirt is typically used for bulk earthwork and is sold at lower per-yard rates than washed or crushed gravel.
Costs vary by supplier and local haul distance, but a 10-yard load of fill dirt in the Rockingham area often falls in a broad ballpark range. For an accurate, up-to-date price for a 10-yard delivery to your address, get a quote through our site or contact our sales team.
One ton of loose fill dirt typically represents about 0.65 to 0.85 cubic yards depending on moisture and soil type, so coverage varies with depth. As a rule of thumb, one ton will cover roughly 100 to 130 square feet at a 2-inch depth, but you should calculate by cubic yards for more precise planning.
The most cost-effective approach is to order the minimum practical quantity from a local supplier to minimize haul fees, consolidate deliveries, and buy bulk (not bagged) material. Use Hello Gravel to check multiple local suppliers and compare delivered prices and fees, and consider scheduling standard delivery to avoid rush fees.
Delivery cost depends on the truck size, distance, and local supplier rates; many local deliveries are priced per cubic yard or per ton plus a delivery fee. Hello Gravel handles quotes and shows delivered pricing up front, so request a quote to see cost for a specific dump truck load to your Rockingham address.
To cover 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 10 tons depending on soil density). For deeper fills, multiply accordingly: for example, 4 inches requires about 12.4 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a location-specific estimate.
Two inches of fill dirt is usually fine for minor lawn leveling or finishing topsoil grade, but it is not adequate for driveway base preparation. Driveways typically require engineered base materials and several inches of compacted fill or aggregate; consult a contractor for structural work or heavy loads.
Coverage depends on the truck and how many cubic yards it carries; a common tri-axle dump truck can deliver roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards. That amount would cover about 1,620 to 2,268 square feet at a 2-inch depth, but exact coverage depends on the truck capacity and the depth you need.
A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrows. Because ton-to-cubic-yard conversion varies by moisture and compaction, use cubic yards to estimate wheelbarrows rather than tons for more reliable planning.
At a shallow depth of 1 inch, 1 ton of fill dirt will spread across roughly 200 to 260 square feet; at 2 inches it covers about 100 to 130 square feet. These are approximate values and change with soil compaction and moisture, so measure your required depth and convert to cubic yards for precise ordering.
Homeowners can install small amounts of fill dirt for simple leveling or garden beds, but larger grading, compaction, or drainage work benefits from a contractor with equipment. For projects that affect foundations, drainage, or driveway bases, hiring a pro is recommended to ensure correct compaction and permit compliance.
Basic native fill dirt—unamended soil excavated from local sites—is usually the least expensive option in Rockingham. If you need screened or clean fill (free of roots and debris), expect a higher price; Hello Gravel can show local options and pricing so you can choose the best fit for your project.
If you only need to raise grade for planting or lawn areas, regular fill dirt or screened fill is a cheaper alternative to decorative or crushed gravel. Be mindful that fill dirt compacts and may need topsoil or amended soil on top for planting; for driveways or drainage solutions you should still use structural aggregate.
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.
