Why Scotland Neck Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Scotland Neck is a small but steadily growing community of 2,880 residents located in a climate that supports active outdoor projects. With a local growth rate of 2.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and contractors are seeing steady demand for grading, foundation backfill, and landscape reshaping. Those projects create consistent need for reliable aggregates: materials that compact well, control drainage, and reduce future settling. For many DIYers, the difference between a lasting repair and repeated touch-ups comes down to choosing the right fill material and ensuring proper compaction and placement.Popular Projects in Scotland Neck This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Scotland Neck Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Scotland Neck.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to raise low spots, build pads, or change grade under driveways and hardscapes. In Scotland Neck it is commonly used to add volume before compacting a driveway base, raise yard areas above seasonal wet zones, or bring level grade for structures. It is not a topsoil substitute for planting, since it lacks nutrients and organic material.
Prices vary by source and haul distance, but a typical delivered range for fill dirt in rural NC towns is about $6 to $20 per ton. Local factors like truck access, minimum order size, and distance from the supplier can move the price higher or lower; use our checkout or contact sales for an exact quote to Scotland Neck ZIP codes.
Use simple area x depth math: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. Examples: a 12 x 100 ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 15 cu yd (roughly 20-25 tons), a 30 x 40 ft building pad at 6 inches needs ~22 cu yd (about 30-35 tons), and raising a 1/4-acre lot by 6 inches needs ~202 cu yd (roughly 260-300 tons). Fill dirt weights vary by moisture but typically range 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard.
For driveways and building pads choose compactable, low-organic subsoil (often called screened or clean fill) that compacts well and sheds water. For yard grading where you plan to seed, you may top the fill with a couple inches of topsoil. In Scotland Neck’s coastal plain, watch for sandy layers or seasonal high water; a mix with some fines helps compaction but avoid high organic content.
Contractors in the area place fill in even lifts (usually 4 to 6 inches), moisten or dry material to an optimal moisture content, and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller until stable. They also check final elevations after settling and often use geotextile fabric or a crushed stone base where drainage or load-bearing is a concern. For large or structural fills, contractors may perform compaction testing and follow engineer recommendations.
The climate means frequent heavy rain events and periods of high humidity, so proper grading and drainage are essential to prevent erosion and settlement. Expect longer settlement time after heavy rains and plan to finish grades with erosion control, vegetation, or mulch. For driveways, add a well-draining base and maintain shoulders and ditches to reduce water pooling.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who commonly sell screened or clean fill by the cubic yard and deliver to Scotland Neck addresses. Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck; ensure a clear truck access path, note any low branches or overhead wires, and expect drivers to place material where safe. Minimum orders apply (3 tons) and tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion.
Permitting depends on scope and location: routine small-grade changes often do not need permits, but large fills, work in floodplains, wetlands, or near public right-of-way may require county or state permits. Check with Halifax County Planning and Zoning and the Town of Scotland Neck before large-scale import or regrading, and consult NCDEQ if wetlands or stream buffers are involved.
Common alternatives include crushed stone or crusher run for structural bases and topsoil for planting and lawns. Crushed stone provides better drainage and load-bearing for driveways but usually costs more; topsoil supports vegetation but is not suitable as a compactable base. Fill dirt is often the most economical way to add volume and support structural fills, but you may need to combine materials depending on the final use.
Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a quote with your project dimensions, desired final grade, and delivery address; our team can convert volumes to tons and recommend delivery options. For complex sites, provide photos and any access issues, and consider asking for a contractor recommendation or requesting a site visit for precise quantity and compaction guidance.

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.
