Why Stanley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stanley has a population of 13,900 and is experiencing steady expansion with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of wet-season runoff and long dry spells that affects yards and small-site construction. That combination drives demand for dependable site preparation: homeowners regrading driveways, building raised beds, installing patios, or backfilling foundations need clean, compactable material to prevent settling and erosion. Because regional geology influences how soils compact and drain, Stanley homeowners value clear material specs, transparent pricing, and predictable delivery when ordering aggregates for long-lasting results.Popular Projects in Stanley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stanley Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Stanley.
Prices vary with supplier, distance, and material quality, but in the West North Carolina area delivered fill dirt commonly runs roughly $15 to $40 per ton. Site access, small delivery quantities, or same-day/next-day requests can add fees. For an exact price to Stanley, NC (zip check required), use Hello Gravel’s quote tool or call our team.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which applies for online orders in the Stanley area. Local suppliers and haulers may set their own minimums—some require 5 to 10 tons for larger truck routes—so we’ll show any supplier minimums during checkout.
Stanley experiences humid summers and cool winters with occasional freeze-thaw cycles, so fill dirt may settle more in wet seasons and can heave slightly where freeze-thaw is repeated. Good drainage and compacting in lifts will reduce settlement and frost-related movement. If your project is near standing water or on a slope, consider engineered fills and drainage improvements.
Contractors usually expect fill dirt to be low in organic material, free of large debris, and with a mix of fines to aid compaction. For structural or load-bearing work, aim for 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density with compaction in 6- to 8-inch lifts; for general landscaping a 90% target is common. If an engineered spec is required for permits or building, request supplier lab gradation and compaction testing.
Calculate area (square feet) × depth (feet) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt (use 1.3 t/yd3 as a practical estimate). Example: a 10 ft × 50 ft driveway at 6 in (0.5 ft) deep is 250 ft3 = 9.26 yd3 × 1.3 ≈ 12 tons, so order at least 15 tons to allow for compaction and waste and to meet minimums.
Small deliveries for yard leveling usually do not require a permit, but significant grading, changing drainage patterns, or large volumes may trigger local permitting. Check with the Town of Stanley planning department and Gaston County permitting office before major fills or site regrades, and get professional advice if your project affects runoff, wetlands, or neighboring properties.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if site conditions are safe; request tailgate spreading at checkout. Because spreading depends on truck access, ground conditions, and driver safety, Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services—plan to have a rake or a contractor finish grading if precision is needed.
Delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck; provide clear 12–14 ft overhead clearance and a turning area for a truck up to 35 ft long. Make a note at checkout about narrow driveways, steep grades, or gated properties; unstable or soft ground may prevent dumping or could incur additional fees for alternative placement.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill dirt color and texture in Stanley will reflect local geology and can vary from online images. You can add color or material notes at checkout and contact our team for local supplier details, but exact matches are not guaranteed due to natural variation.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
