Why Trenton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Trenton is a small but growing community with a population of 3,060. The town and surrounding area are experiencing steady development at about a 2.80% annual growth rate, and its moderate climate — roughly 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b — creates mixed demands for landscaping and site work. Homeowners and small contractors in Trenton commonly need reliable fill material for yard regrades, foundation backfill, driveway base building, and preparing pads for sheds, pools, and patios. Because projects here must balance sunny, dry periods with seasonal rain, people look for low-organic, well-graded fill dirt that compacts predictably and limits future settling and erosion.Popular Projects in Trenton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Trenton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Trenton.
Fill dirt is unclassified soil used to raise ground levels or fill voids; it usually contains minimal organic material and some clay or sand. In Trenton, NC, use fill dirt for bringing yard grades up, building up subgrade under patios or lawns, and filling low spots before topsoil is added. It is not a finished surface for driveways or landscaping—plan to cap it with gravel, stone, or topsoil depending on your project.
Prices vary by distance to the supplier, project size, and moisture content; typical local delivered ranges are roughly $20–$50 per cubic yard (about $15–$40 per ton). Hello Gravel provides exact, zip-code-based quotes and has a 3-ton minimum; use our site to check current pricing and delivery options for your address in Trenton.
Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and haulers in the West North Carolina region to connect you with suppliers that deliver to Trenton. Availability depends on your ZIP code, and we will show nearby suppliers and delivery windows during checkout so you can pick the best option for price and timing.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft yard raised 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards; at roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard that equals about 24 tons. We recommend ordering 10–20% extra to account for compaction and spreading losses.
Trenton’s clay-prone soils and seasonal rainfall mean fill dirt can consolidate and hold moisture if not compacted and drained properly. For areas with poor native soils, place fill in thin lifts and compact mechanically, and provide positive slope and drainage to prevent puddling. Freeze-thaw cycles in our area can cause some movement at the surface, so cap fill dirt with road base or topsoil and gravel for finished grades.
Loose fill dirt typically settles or compacts by about 10–20% after placement and natural consolidation, depending on moisture and compaction effort. For most residential projects in Trenton, plan to order 10–25% extra material; for driveway subgrades or deep fills, use engineered compaction in lifts and consider ordering toward the higher end of that range.
Permitting rules vary: minor yard grading often does not need a permit, but significant regrading, work near streams, or any driveway connection to a county or state road may require permits or NCDOT approval. Check Rockingham County and Person County planning and public works departments for local rules, and contact Hello Gravel if you need help confirming requirements before ordering.
Fill dirt is best as subgrade or to raise elevation, but it is not a durable wearing surface for driveways. For driveways use road base or crusher run for strength and compaction, then finish with 3/4" crushed stone or gravel for the driving surface. For erosion control on slopes, combine appropriately sized rock, geotextile, and vegetation; clean fill (screened, low-organic material) is better where you need a stable, engineered layer.
Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck with standard delivery times of 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion—request it at checkout, but do not rely on it for precise grading; for spread and compaction hire a local contractor or rent compacting equipment for best results.
Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to estimate cubic yards, check your ZIP code to see local suppliers and price, and choose a delivery date in checkout.

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.
