Why West Jefferson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Jefferson homeowners are working in a growing, moderate climate and need materials that match local site conditions. The city has a population of 10,400 and sits inside a metro area of 2.3+ million residents that is expanding at a 2.80% annual rate. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, yards and job sites here experience both wet periods and long sun exposure that affect grading, drainage, and planting. As residential projects and infill development increase, reliable aggregates are in greater demand—homeowners choose quality fill dirt to raise grade, prevent water pooling, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and foundation backfill.Popular Projects in West Jefferson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Jefferson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in West Jefferson.
Delivered fill dirt in West Jefferson commonly falls in a range rather than a fixed price. Expect roughly $10 to $30 per ton (about $8 to $25 per cubic yard) depending on distance from the source, truck access, moisture content, and season; contact Hello Gravel for a site-specific quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve West Jefferson and Ashe County. For exact quarry or supplier names check our website by entering your zip code or call our sales team so we can match you with suppliers and provide delivery options.
West Jefferson's mountain climate can cause freeze-thaw heave and saturation problems if fill dirt is poorly drained or contains a lot of clay. Use well-graded, low-organic fill, install positive drainage, and compact in lifts to reduce freeze-thaw and wet-season movement.
Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10–12 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 12–18 tons of fill dirt depending on soil density. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, offers standard 2+ business day delivery, and next-day delivery when available for orders placed before noon CST.
Minor leveling or adding a few yards of fill usually does not require a permit, but larger grading, driveway changes, septic system fill, or work affecting streams and steep slopes may require permits in Ashe County or approval from the town of West Jefferson. Always check with Ashe County Planning and the West Jefferson town office before major grading or septic-related work.
Place fill in loose lifts of 4–6 inches and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve stable density; avoid placing wet, organic, or frozen soil. Use fabric or geogrid under fill on weak subgrades, create berms and swales for drainage, and consider erosion control (straw, seed, or wattles) on slopes.
Fill dirt used as subfill can last many years if properly compacted, drained, and capped with structural material like crushed stone; however, uncovered fill dirt used as the driving surface will deteriorate quickly. Expect periodic settling and maintenance; using a crushed stone wearing course greatly extends service life.
Use fill dirt when you need to raise or build up grade under a construction area, but not as a finished surface. For driveways and access roads use crushed stone for load-bearing and drainage, and use topsoil only for planting and lawn areas; often projects use fill dirt for bulk raising, then cap with crushed stone and topsoil where needed.
Fill dirt can be part of an erosion-control plan when it is properly compacted, graded to shed water, and combined with vegetation, retaining structures, or erosion-control fabrics. For steep or failing slopes in the West Jefferson foothills, most local contractors prefer engineered solutions rather than loose fill alone; consult a local contractor or engineer for high-risk slopes.
Yes. Heavy rains, frozen ground, and winter road conditions can limit quarry operations and truck access, which may delay deliveries or increase fees. To avoid timing issues, schedule material deliveries for drier months when possible, or contact Hello Gravel early to secure next-available dates and current pricing.
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.
