Why Wrightsville Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wrightsville Beach is a coastal community with a population of 2,430 and steady development pressures driven by a 2.80% annual growth rate. With a climate that sees 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here balance sunny outdoor living with seasonal storms and occasional high-water events. Those conditions create consistent demand for quality aggregates for grading, drainage, and erosion control around homes, decks, and seawalls. Fill Dirt is a common choice when property owners need to raise low spots, backfill around foundations, or build up grade for patios and sheds—projects that protect structures from runoff while supporting landscaping in sandy coastal soils. Fill Dirt here performs well when it is low in organic material and compacted in layers to resist washout from heavy rains. Because local soils can be sandy or loamy and subject to coastal drainage patterns, properly sourced regional fill dirt helps create stable, workable bases for hardscapes and foundations. Hello Gravel connects Wrightsville Beach homeowners with trusted nearby suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offering online ordering, transparent pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, and scheduling options (standard 2+ business days or next-day for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee). Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; our team can advise on quantities and best practices for compaction and drainage.Popular Projects in Wrightsville Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wrightsville Beach Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Wrightsville Beach.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic matter used to raise grade or fill holes; it is not topsoil and won’t support plants well. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and structural base. Use fill dirt to build up ground and gravel or topsoil on top if you need drainage or planting.
Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is less processed. Coastal sourcing and truck access can affect price in Wrightsville Beach, so expect local variations and check Hello Gravel for current local rates.
Costs vary by supplier, truck size, and access; in coastal North Carolina you can expect broad ranges rather than fixed prices. As a rough guide, delivered fill dirt often runs about $20 to $60 per cubic yard, so a tri-axle load (about 10–12 cubic yards) commonly falls in the low hundreds to mid hundreds; contact Hello Gravel for a custom quote and note our 3-ton minimum order.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards of material (1,000 x 4/12 = 333 cubic feet ÷ 27). For planning, round up to account for settlement and compaction and ask Hello Gravel’s calculator for a precise estimate.
You can put gravel over fill dirt, but the fill must be properly compacted and graded first to prevent settling. In coastal Wrightsville Beach conditions, add a compacted base or geotextile and ensure good drainage to avoid washouts from storms and tidal flooding.
Yes, fill dirt should be compacted in layers to reduce settlement and increase stability, especially in areas with a high water table like Wrightsville Beach. For structures, follow an engineer’s compaction specs; for landscaping, a few passes with a plate compactor usually helps.
Raising a beachfront lot or building a foundation on coastal property involves permits, engineering, and specific types of structural fill; simple garden fill is not a substitute. Check local Town of Wrightsville Beach coastal regulations and consult an engineer before placing large amounts of fill.
Fill dirt placed near the beach is vulnerable to erosion from storm surge, tides, and heavy rain unless stabilized. Use erosion controls (vegetation, geotextile, riprap) and confirm coastal permitting before adding fill in dune or shoreline areas.
Often yes — adding significant fill, especially near dunes, wetlands, or the shoreline typically requires permits from the Town of Wrightsville Beach and possibly state or federal agencies. Always check with local planning and permitting offices before delivery to avoid fines or removal orders.
Mark underground utilities by calling 811, clear a truck access path, and designate a drop zone that can handle a heavy dump truck. Note soft sand, parking restrictions, and street access in Wrightsville Beach and add order notes in Hello Gravel for staging details or the need for spreading.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, coastal fill dirt may include small shell fragments or sand typical of the area. If you need clean structural fill with no organics or shell material, request 'clean fill' or specify your material requirements when ordering.
Choose low-organic, well-draining fill (clean fill) that compacts well; avoid high-organic topsoil for structural grading. In Wrightsville Beach’s sandy coastal environment, a mix with some clay or engineered structural fill can help hold grade while permitting drainage.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
