Why Weddington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Weddington homeowners are part of a fast-growing regional market served by a city population of 13,181 and a wider metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually and a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and USDA Hardiness Zone 8b—local projects often move from concept to construction quickly. That combination of growth and favorable weather drives steady demand for basic site materials. Homeowners and small contractors look for dependable fill materials for grading, raising low spots, backfilling foundations, and preparing pads for sheds or patios. Because fill dirt must compact well and have low organic content to avoid settling, choosing the right source matters for long-term stability and to reduce rework or drainage issues in this climate.Popular Projects in Weddington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Weddington Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Weddington.
Delivered fill dirt in Weddington typically runs in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on haul distance, supplier, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows exact delivered pricing for your zip code during checkout; contact our team for a customized quote.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and partners with local dump truck fleets to deliver on the date you choose in checkout.
For general grading, choose well-graded fill dirt with minimal organic material and few large roots or debris. Compact in 4- to 6-inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller—professional projects often target 90% to 95% compaction (standard proctor); consult a contractor for load-bearing applications like driveways.
Use this rule of thumb: one cubic yard covers 324 square feet at 1 inch depth and weighs about 1.2–1.4 tons. That equals roughly 0.016 tons per square foot for 4 inches (about 16 tons per 1,000 sqft), 0.024 tons per square foot for 6 inches (about 24 tons per 1,000 sqft), and 0.048 tons per square foot for 12 inches (about 48 tons per 1,000 sqft). Order a little extra (5% to 10%) to allow for settling and compaction.
Hello Gravel provides delivery via local dump trucks and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Compacting is typically a separate contractor service; if you need spreading and compaction, we recommend scheduling a local landscaper or contractor to follow the delivery.
Weddington experiences occasional freeze-thaw cycles and has areas of clay-rich soils, which can cause settling and heaving if fill dirt is not properly compacted and drained. For best results use well-compacted, low-organic fill and design good surface and subsurface drainage; consider mixing in some granular material or using engineered fill for areas with heavy traffic or near foundations.
Permitting for large fills, grading, or changes to drainage can be required by the Town of Weddington or Union County, especially for steep slopes or near watercourses. Check with Weddington Town Hall or the Union County planning office before large-scale grading to confirm setback, erosion control, and stormwater rules.
Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade and creating a stable working platform, but it is not ideal as a driveway surface or structural base because it compacts and drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Use crushed stone or aggregate base under driveways for load-bearing and drainage, and reserve topsoil for planting and landscaping rather than structural fills.
How often you need to add fill dirt depends on use and drainage; light-use lawn areas may settle and require top-up every few years, while driveways or access roads subject to traffic may need regrading or additional material within 1 to 5 years. Proper compaction and drainage at installation will significantly reduce how frequently you need to add material.
Check that the material is mostly mineral fill with minimal roots, vegetation, or debris and that the color and texture are consistent with what you ordered—regional variations are normal. Confirm delivery placement matches your instructions, take photos of the load if anything looks off, and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly if the material or delivery doesn't meet your expectations.
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.
