Why Welcome Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Welcome is a community of 1,612 that sits inside a growing West North Carolina metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady annual growth rate of 2.80% and a moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners are seeing more yard regrading, foundation backfill, and landscaping projects as properties refresh or expand. Those projects increase demand for reliable, consistent aggregates: homeowners need material that compacts well, drains properly, and resists washout during heavy rains. Fill Dirt is a basic but essential material for these tasks because it provides stable subgrade without organic matter that can settle or rot over time, making it a common choice for raising low areas, filling trenches, and preparing sites for patios, lawns, or structures.Popular Projects in Welcome This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Welcome Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Welcome.
Prices vary by supplier and exact material, but in Welcome you can generally expect delivered fill dirt in the range of about $12 to $28 per ton, or roughly $10 to $35 per cubic yard. Final price depends on local supply, haul distance, and any screening or clean fill specs; use Hello Gravel to check your zip code and get an exact quote for your order.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet; 500 / 27 = 18.5 cu yd). That translates to roughly 22 to 26 tons depending on how dense the fill dirt is; plan to order about 10% extra to allow for compaction and settling, so roughly 20.5 cubic yards (about 25 to 29 tons).
Welcome and the surrounding West North Carolina area commonly have clay-rich subsoils and loam topsoils because of the Piedmont geology. Higher clay content helps the material compact but reduces drainage and can hold more water, which increases settling and frost-heave risk. For structural fills, choose screened or clean fill with limited organic matter, and consider mixing in granular material if you need better drainage.
West North Carolina has mild to moderate freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal heavy rains, which can amplify settling and frost heave in poorly drained fills. Wet conditions at placement reduce compaction efficiency, so schedule deliveries and compaction during dry windows when possible. Add surface grading, positive drainage, and, where needed, a granular layer to reduce water retention and improve long-term stability.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers who deliver fill dirt in the Welcome area; check your zip code on our site to see available options. For compaction and installation, we recommend hiring a local contractor experienced with site grading and compaction equipment; our sales team can suggest local partners when available.
For bulk lifts and rough grading, use clean fill dirt or select fill with low organic content so it compacts reliably. For driveway and shed bases, place compacted fill for elevation changes but finish with a granular base like crushed stone or crusher run to support loads and improve drainage. For final lawn topdressing and planting, use topsoil or a topsoil-fill mix on the top 4 to 6 inches rather than pure fill dirt.
Compacted fill dirt itself does not have a fixed lifespan; its performance depends on proper installation, drainage, and the load it carries. Under a well-constructed crushed-stone base and with good drainage, the structure can perform for many years; without a stone base you may see settlement, ruts, and potholes within a few seasons. Routine maintenance includes fixing low spots, maintaining positive drainage, and adding more base material or regrading as needed.
Use each material for a specific purpose: fill dirt is for raising grade and filling voids but is not a durable wearing surface. Crushed stone or crusher run is the right choice for driveway bases because it compacts and drains, creating a load-bearing layer. Topsoil is for planting and lawns and should be limited to the surface 4 to 6 inches; for regrading you often need both fill dirt (bulk) and topsoil (final surface).
Minimum orders start at 3 tons and standard delivery is scheduled for 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets that source materials regionally, so color and texture can vary; you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but it is performed at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location.

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!
