Why Southern Pines Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Southern Pines has a population of 16,035 and sits within a growing regional market—the wider metro area accounts for 2.3+ million people and is expanding at about 2.80% annually. The local climate is moderate, with an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and plant hardiness zone 8b. That combination of rain, sun, and development pressure drives steady demand for reliable bulk materials as homeowners level lots, raise low areas, or prepare pads for sheds, driveways, and patios. Many homeowners want materials that compact well, resist washout, and are easy for contractors or DIYers to place, which is why quality, properly screened fill dirt is often chosen over topsoil or loose subsoil. Fill dirt performs well in Southern Pines because it provides a dense, workable base that sheds surface water when properly graded and compacted — important with 34.00 inches of annual rain. Use fill dirt for grading, utility backfill, and building up low spots before landscaping or hardscaping. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt and schedules dump-truck delivery to your property, so you get material matched to local soil conditions and a clear delivery window without the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Southern Pines This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Southern Pines Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Southern Pines.
Prices vary with supplier, haul distance, and material quality. In Southern Pines, delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $35 per cubic yard, so a typical tri-axle truckload (roughly 10–14 cubic yards) often costs in the $200 to $700 range. Exact pricing depends on your zip code and delivery details, so check our site or get a quote for an exact number.
Use cubic yards = area (ft2) x depth (in) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft that is about 6.2 yd3 at 2", 12.4 yd3 at 4", and 18.5 yd3 at 6". Using a rough Southern Pines price range of $10 to $35 per yd3, expect a delivered cost between about $62–$217 for 2", $124–$434 for 4", and $185–$648 for 6", with final pricing available on checkout.
Per cubic yard, fill dirt is often cheaper than crushed gravel or stone. However, fill dirt is not a good long-term driveway base because it compacts poorly and holds water; crushed stone or crusher-run is recommended for driveway bases in Southern Pines for drainage and stability. For simple yard raising or filling low spots where no traffic is expected, fill dirt can be a cost-effective choice.
Use fill dirt when you need to raise grade or fill large depressions below the topsoil layer; it provides structural mass but lacks organic matter. If you want to grow grass or plants, add 3–6 inches of topsoil over the fill dirt. For areas that need drainage or will receive vehicle traffic, consider a gravel base topped with topsoil or turf.
Cost depends on length and desired depth. For example, a 20-foot-wide driveway 100 feet long at a 6" base requires about 37 yd3 of fill dirt; at $10–$35 per yd3 that equals roughly $370–$1,295 delivered. Remember that fill dirt alone is not ideal for a driveway base; you may need crushed stone and compaction for a durable result, which will add to cost.
If the existing soil is firm and well-drained you can place gravel over it after grading and compacting. If there are soft spots, organic layers, or major grade issues, add structural fill dirt and compact in lifts before gravel to prevent settling. In sandy parts of Southern Pines, good compaction and a geotextile barrier can also help keep gravel stable.
A standard pickup bed typically holds about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard depending on the truck and whether you fill above the bed sides. For projects larger than a yard or two, bulk delivery by dump truck is easier and usually more economical. Hello Gravel’s minimums (Starting at about 3 tons) and delivery options make bulk ordering the better choice for most Southern Pines projects.
Bulk fill dirt is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged product for medium to large projects. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and local suppliers in Southern Pines may have similar minimums; bags are convenient for tiny projects but cost significantly more per yard. For projects needing several cubic yards, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective option.
Standard delivery is generally available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas have free delivery, but surcharges can apply for long distance, difficult access, or time-critical requests—Southern Pines may incur fees if the supplier or dump truck must travel far outside town. Confirm timing and any fees during checkout or by contacting our team.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube and weighs roughly 1.2 tons depending on moisture. Examples: filling a 100 sq ft hole to 1 ft deep needs about 3.7 yd3; leveling a 1,000 sq ft lawn by 2" needs about 6.2 yd3; a 20 ft x 100 ft driveway at 6" depth needs roughly 37 yd3. Use our material calculator on the site for exact estimates based on your dimensions.
Material and haul costs vary across West North Carolina due to regional sourcing and distance to suppliers. Southern Pines may be on the lower or middle end if local pits are nearby, while more remote or mountainous parts of West NC typically face higher delivery charges. For the most accurate comparison, request quotes for your specific zip code on our platform.
Small deliveries for filling or minor leveling usually do not require a permit, but major regrades, retaining walls, stormwater changes, or erosion-prone work often trigger town or county permits. Check with the Town of Southern Pines and Moore County planning or public works before large fills or grading, and mention any planned changes when you order so our team can advise on logistics.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
