Why Wallace Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wallace has a population of 7,680 and sits within a growing regional market—the nearby metro area has a population of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, the area is seeing steady residential and light-commercial development that increases demand for basic site materials. Wallace's climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports active outdoor projects but also creates soil-management challenges: erosion after heavy rains, settling in fill areas, and the need for reliable grading. Homeowners choose quality Fill Dirt because properly graded, low-organic fill reduces future settling, improves compaction for foundations and driveways, and helps maintain drainage around landscaping and retaining structures.Popular Projects in Wallace This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wallace Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Wallace.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Delivery costs in Wallace (population 7,680) vary by supplier and distance; many local deliveries are free or low-fee within a short radius, while longer hauls add per-ton or flat delivery charges. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Use a conversion of roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt (depending on moisture and compaction). Examples: a 12' x 50' driveway at 4 inches needs about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 9–12 tons); raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards (7–10 tons); a 10' x 12' shed pad at 4 inches requires about 1.5 cubic yards (2–3 tons). Always add 5–10% extra for settling and compaction when ordering.
For bulk elevation or mass backfill in Wallace, pit-run (unscreened native material) is the most economical option and works well when later covered. Use screened fill dirt for final grades, under slabs, or turf areas where finer, consistent material makes grading and compaction easier. Crushed material is typically not used as fill dirt; it is better for structural base layers and driveways when load-bearing and drainage are priorities.
Wallace is in a humid subtropical area with moderate to high rainfall and occasional freeze-thaw cycles, which can increase erosion, settling, and wet spots in low areas. Expect slower drainage in compacted fill and plan for positive slopes, proper grading, and drainage features (like swales or French drains) to avoid puddling. For frost-prone spots, proper compaction and deeper placement or geotextile can reduce frost heave and future settling.
Local prices vary, but screened fill dirt in the West North Carolina region often ranges roughly $12–$30 per cubic yard delivered, depending on supplier, material quality, and delivery distance; per-ton pricing typically falls in a similar relative range. Many local suppliers serve a 20–50 mile radius from Wallace, but rates change by haul distance and site access, so check your zip code for exact pricing and available suppliers through Hello Gravel.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and backfill and will settle over time; it is not suitable for planting without adding topsoil. Topsoil supports lawns and plants but will erode faster in heavy rain if not stabilized. Road base (crushed stone with fines) provides a long-lasting, stable surface for driveways and high-traffic areas and requires less maintenance for load-bearing uses than loose fill dirt.
Install fill dirt in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to reduce future settling; avoid placing very wet material because it compacts poorly. For deeper fills or near structures, hire a contractor to perform proper compaction testing and consider geotextile fabric on soft subgrades. Plan to leave extra material (5–10%) for settlement and regrade low spots after initial settlement.
Use topsoil for lawns, garden beds, and any planting because it contains organic matter and nutrients that support plant growth, while fill dirt is primarily inert subsoil and lacks fertility. A common approach is to use fill dirt to establish desired elevations and then cap the area with 4–6 inches of topsoil for planting. If you need both materials, Hello Gravel can often deliver them from local suppliers—add notes about color or organic preference at checkout.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks; drivers will place material where accessible and safe, but exact placement depends on site access and driver discretion. Clear a path and mark the desired drop zone, watch for overhead wires and soft turf, and note that tailgate spreading is available only at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Contact Hello Gravel ahead of delivery to discuss site restrictions, preferred drop location, and any special instructions.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
