Why Whitsett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Whitsett has a population of 10,780 and sits within a growing regional market that is seeing steady development. With a 2.80% annual growth rate, the area supports ongoing home improvements, new builds, and landscape upgrades. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—makes outdoor projects possible year-round but also creates a need to manage soil movement and drainage. As properties change across a metro serving 2.3+ million people, homeowners increasingly demand reliable aggregates that compact well, resist excessive settling, and work with local soil conditions. Fill dirt is commonly chosen to grade yards, raise building pads, and backfill around foundations because it delivers predictable performance when sourced and placed correctly.Popular Projects in Whitsett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Whitsett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Whitsett.
Fill dirt is subsoil with minimal organic matter used to raise or level ground, backfill foundations, and build building pads. In Whitsett, use fill dirt when you need stable bulk fill under driveways, yards, or pads rather than for planting; it is not suitable as topsoil for lawns or gardens. If you need landscaping or planting, place a layer of topsoil over the fill dirt.
Local delivered prices vary with haul distance and screening but typically fall in a range near Whitsett of about $6 to $16 per ton, or roughly $8 to $22 per cubic yard. Exact pricing depends on supplier, whether material is screened or engineered, and delivery logistics, so get a quote for your zip code before ordering.
Whitsett sees frequent rain and occasional freeze-thaw, so fill dirt must be compacted properly and have good surface drainage to avoid erosion and settling. Poorly compacted fills can wash out or settle after heavy rains; slope stabilization and directing runoff away from fills reduce those risks.
Contractors commonly aim for 90% to 95% relative compaction (Standard Proctor) for driveways and building pads, with higher targets for structural uses. They compact in lifts (typically 4 to 8 inches loose) using plate compactors, vibratory rollers, or sheepsfoot rollers depending on lift thickness and area size.
Use this quick method: cubic yards = (area in sq ft) x (depth in feet) / 27; then multiply cubic yards by about 1.1 to 1.3 to estimate tons. For example, for 1,000 sq ft: 2" = 6.2 cu yd (~7.5 tons), 4" = 12.3 cu yd (~14.8 tons), 6" = 18.5 cu yd (~22.2 tons). Always round up and confirm density with your supplier.
Possibly. Small residential deliveries often do not need a permit, but large grading, lot regrading, or long-term stockpiling can trigger county permits, erosion and sedimentation controls, or stormwater rules. Contact the Town of Whitsett office and Alamance County Planning & Zoning to confirm requirements before delivering large volumes.
Yes, many suppliers near Whitsett offer screened, compactable, or engineered fill mixes that are cleaner and have fewer rocks and debris. Those options generally cost more than plain off-the-truck fill dirt, often carrying a premium of roughly 10% to 30%, depending on screening and testing requirements.
Common failures include settling, erosion, and washouts after heavy rain. Prevent problems by placing fills in properly compacted lifts, installing temporary erosion control (silt fence, straw, or geotextile), using terraces or retaining walls on steeper slopes, and establishing vegetation or riprap to protect exposed soil.
Fill dirt is best for bulk raising and structural backfill but does not provide a stable wearing surface or drainage for driveways like crushed stone. Crushed stone or bankrun gravel are better for driveway bases because they drain and lock together; topsoil is for planting and should be used only as a thin surface layer over properly compacted fill dirt if you plan to seed.
Delivery typically includes hauling to your site, but spreading and compaction are usually optional and performed at the driver’s discretion or by separate contractors. When getting quotes via Hello Gravel, ask suppliers if they offer spreading or compaction services and whether those services are included in the bid or charged separately.
Avoid scheduling large deliveries during heavy rain seasons or right after storms because saturated ground restricts truck access and increases settling risk. Winter freezes are occasional in Whitsett, but muddy, wet conditions in fall and spring are the main concern; plan deliveries for dry periods, and allow time for compaction between lifts.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
