Fill Dirt in New Ell, NC

A standard tri-axle dump truck serving New Ell typically carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (exact volume depends on moisture and local weight limits). Delivered cost varies with distance, supplier and truck size, but a full dump load in the West North Carolina area commonly falls in the range of a few hundred dollars once delivery is included. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons; contact our team for an exact quote and truck-size options for your address.

Delivered fill dirt prices in West North Carolina typically run roughly $10–$30 per cubic yard, with per-ton prices around $8–$22 depending on moisture content and compaction.

Coverage is easiest to think in cubic yards: one cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, and 81 sq ft at 4u0022. Typical fill dirt weighs about 2,200–2,700 lb per cubic yard (roughly 0.8–1.3 tons per cubic yard), so one ton will cover roughly 60–140 sq ft depending on actual density. Because fill dirt settles and compacts, plan on ordering 5–10% extra for grading and compaction.

No. Fill dirt is not a good wearing surface for driveways and 2 inches is far too thin for support. In West North Carolina's variable soils you should install a compacted aggregate base (typically 4–6 inches of crushed stone) and use proper surface material on top; fill dirt is suitable only for raising grade or backfill, not as the finished driveway surface.

Small jobs under Hello Gravel's minimum often incur a small-load surcharge or aren’t available through standard delivery routes; expect a higher per-yard delivered price or a minimum-fee from local suppliers. Some local suppliers will deliver partial dumps but may charge a flat trip fee or set a higher per-yard rate. Contact our team with your address and project size so we can check local supplier options and exact small-load fees.

Fill dirt is intended for filling low spots and grading; it is not suitable as a finished driveway surface. For driveways in this region use crushed stone or gravel with a compacted base and a proper surface layer. Local suppliers in West North Carolina commonly stock both fill dirt and several grades of crushed stone/driveway gravel; Hello Gravel can show local inventory and recommend materials for your project.

Many suppliers serving New Ell do offer partial-dump or smaller loads, but minimums and fees vary: Hello Gravel’s platform generally lists a 3-ton minimum, though some local vendors accept smaller deliveries for an extra trip charge. Tailgate partial-dumping also depends on truck type and driver discretion. Contact us with the delivery address and desired quantity so we can confirm local minimums and any extra charges.

Measure the area (length x width) and the average depth you want to fill (in inches), then convert to cubic yards: (length x width x depth in feet) / 27. Because fill dirt compacts, add 5–10% extra for small fills and up to 15% for deep fills or wet material.
