Why Warrenton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Warrenton, population 5,430, is part of a growing regional landscape that is seeing steady development and homeowner activity. With a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80% annually, demand for practical landscaping and infill projects is on the rise. Local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions where yards need reliable grading, erosion control, and stable base material. Homeowners and contractors in Warrenton often look for dependable aggregates to repair settling areas, raise low sections, and prepare pads for sheds, patios, and driveways. Quality Fill Dirt helps ensure proper compaction, consistent settling behavior, and reduced long-term maintenance compared with using random excavated soils.Popular Projects in Warrenton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Warrenton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Warrenton.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in the Warrenton and West North Carolina area usually fall in the range of about $12 to $25 per ton, but prices vary with local availability, haul distance, and moisture content. Heavy wet material, long drives from the supplier, site access issues, or needing a small truck can push costs higher. Use our checkout or call 855-241-8884 for a location-specific quote.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which applies in the Warrenton area. Many deliveries include free or built-in delivery fees, but additional charges can apply for remote rural locations, narrow driveways, long private roads, or after-hours and next-day requests. We’ll show any extra fees during checkout and you can call our team to discuss access notes before ordering.
Plan for a compaction allowance of about 15% to 25% when estimating tons for fill dirt in this region; 20% is a good rule of thumb for planning. That means if you need 10 tons of compacted material in place, order about 12 tons to account for settling and compaction. Actual compaction varies with moisture and how well the fill is compacted on site.
Fill dirt is commonly used to raise grade and backfill, but it often contains fine particles and clay that hold water, so it is not the best standalone material for drainage in Warrenton’s humid, clay-prone soils. For areas where drainage is important, place a drainage layer of coarse gravel or crushed stone beneath or beside the fill and consider capped fill with free-draining material near foundations. If drainage is a primary concern, specify engineered fill or roadbase instead of generic fill dirt.
If fill dirt is used as the subgrade and topped with a proper surface like crushed stone or asphalt, the subgrade can last many years with routine maintenance. Expect some settlement in the first 6 to 12 months that may require additional stone or regrading, especially after heavy rains. A gravel or crushed-stone surface typically needs topping or grading every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and local weather.
Use fill dirt when you need to raise or level ground cost-effectively; it is cheaper for bulk fills but does not provide good drainage or a stable wearing surface. For a durable driveway or farm road in Warrenton’s climate, crushed stone or roadbase is preferable as a structural layer and wearing surface because it compacts well and sheds water. A common approach is to use fill dirt to get the rough grade, compact it, then add roadbase and a crushed-stone surface for durability and drainage.
Small deliveries for typical landscaping or driveway work usually do not require a permit, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or work near streams and wetlands can trigger local permitting and erosion control requirements. Contact the Town of Warrenton planning office or Warren County building and zoning before major fills, especially if your project alters stormwater flow, affects a floodplain, or involves more than a few truckloads. Our team can help point you to the right local contacts if you’re unsure.
Yes. Warrenton sees frequent rain in spring and summer and occasional saturated ground in heavier wet periods, which can make delivery and compaction difficult and increase rutting and settling. We recommend scheduling deliveries during drier periods (late spring through fall are often best) and avoiding heavy rain days; our standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day options are available for early requests. Note that tailgate spreading is done at the driver’s discretion and may not be possible on saturated or steep sites.
To direct water away from foundations, create at least a 6-inch drop within the first 10 feet (about a 5% slope) away from the foundation and maintain a minimum 2% grade beyond that where possible. Place and compact fill in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches) and avoid piling loose fill directly against foundation walls above the top of footings; also include proper drainage measures such as gutters, downspout extensions, and a perimeter drain if needed. If you have a history of groundwater issues, consult a local contractor or civil engineer before adding significant fill.
The most common delivery vehicle for fill dirt in the area is a tri-axle dump truck, which carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards and typically around 12 to 14 tons of fill dirt, depending on moisture and material density. Larger end-dump or belly-dump trucks can deliver 18 to 25 tons in a single load, but they require better access and road capacity. When ordering, note driveway width, overhead lines, and turning radius so we can match the right truck to your site.
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.
