Why Wilkesboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wilkesboro has a population of 26,360 and sits in a steadily growing region with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. With about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners balance active outdoor projects with moisture management. That steady growth—and a metro area population of 2.3+ million—drives demand for site work such as grading driveways, raising low yards, and backfilling foundations. Homeowners look for dependable, clean fill material that compacts well and won’t decompose under structures. Fill dirt meets those needs when chosen and placed correctly, and Hello Gravel helps by connecting Wilkesboro residents to locally sourced suppliers, offering clear pricing, a 3-ton minimum, and scheduled dump-truck delivery to keep projects on track.Popular Projects in Wilkesboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wilkesboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Wilkesboro.
Delivery cost varies by supplier, order size, and distance from the local pit. Many Hello Gravel orders in and around Wilkesboro qualify for free or low-cost delivery, but when a fee applies expect a local drop fee commonly in the $50 to $150 range for small orders; larger loads often reduce or eliminate the fee. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery is available for an extra charge if ordered before noon CST.
Measure the area in square feet and the depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (area ft^2 * depth in inches) / 324. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to convert to tons (average for fill dirt). For example, a 20 ft by 30 ft area at 6 inches needs roughly 11 cubic yards, or about 14 tons.
Use clean, low-organic, well-graded structural fill or compactable clay/sandy clay rather than topsoil or organic-rich dirt. That material compacts well and provides a stable subgrade; after placing fill dirt, install a free-draining crushed stone base on top for the finished driveway surface. Because Wilkesboro soils can be clayey, avoid high-organic material that will settle or hold water.
Fill dirt can work if you choose the right material and focus on drainage and compaction. In Wilkesboro’s freeze-thaw conditions, use well-draining fill, compact in thin lifts, and provide positive drainage or subdrains to reduce frost heave. For critical foundation or driveway projects, combine fill with a granular base and consult a local contractor or engineer.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers near Wilkesboro so you get regional materials and pricing. Fill dirt prices vary by supplier and haul distance; many Wilkesboro-area loads fall roughly in the low tens per ton range for bulk material, but the best way to know is to enter your zip code for a quote that includes delivery and any minimums. Remember regional geology means texture and color will vary.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to reshape grades and correct low spots, but it must be properly compacted, placed in lifts, and combined with erosion control measures. For slopes, add terraces, geotextile, mulch or erosion mats, and seed with deep-rooting grasses to stabilize soil in West North Carolina’s rainfall patterns. Steeper slopes or large projects should be designed by an engineer or experienced contractor.
Fill dirt alone is not a durable finished surface; when used as subgrade beneath a compacted stone base, it can support a long-lasting driveway if compacted and drained properly. Expect routine maintenance like occasional regrading, topping with additional stone, and addressing low spots after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles. Proper initial installation reduces long-term maintenance in Wilkesboro’s climate.
For septic systems and areas requiring drainage, crushed stone or washed gravel is usually required by code because it provides drainage and prevents settling. Fill dirt is appropriate for structural backfill where compaction is needed but not where drainage is the priority. Always check local septic and building codes in Wilkesboro and ask your installer which material meets inspection requirements.
Permit needs depend on the project. Routine yard grading or small fill placements often do not need permits, but structural work, foundation backfill, large earthmoving, and septic-related fill commonly require permits or inspections from Wilkes County or the Town of Wilkesboro. Contact the Wilkes County Building and Codes office to confirm requirements before ordering bulk material.
Good practice is to place fill dirt in 4 to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift using a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger projects. Homeowners can rent a plate compactor for roughly $60 to $150 per day; contractor rates vary but typically run in the local range of $80 to $150 per hour plus mobilization. If the project requires certified compaction testing, expect additional testing fees for a soil testing lab.
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.
