Fill Dirt in Sedgefield, NC

Fill-dirt is clean subsoil used to raise grades, level low spots, or build up pads before landscaping or construction. In Sedgefield it’s commonly used to level yards, fill utility trenches, or prepare a base for driveways and sheds; it is not topsoil so you may need to cover it with topsoil before planting grass or gardens.

Delivered prices in Sedgefield typically range based on haul distance and local supply, but expect roughly $15 to $30 per cubic yard as a general guide. Exact pricing depends on local supplier rates, truck access, and whether delivery or spreading is required.

A standard tri-axle dump truck load for fill-dirt in the Sedgefield area usually costs between $200 and $600, depending on truck size, distance, and material density. If you order multiple yards, many suppliers reduce the per-yard price, so price per load often drops for larger orders.

Most tri-axle dump trucks that serve residential Sedgefield jobs carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. In weight that typically equals about 11 to 18 tons, depending on soil density; on average assume 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt.

Suppliers in the area may quote either by the cubic yard or by the ton; Hello Gravel usually lists materials by cubic yard because homeowners plan by volume. Cubic yards are easier for grading and yard work estimates, while tons are more accurate for heavy, dense soils—ask your supplier which they use and convert if necessary.

Estimating conservatively, 10 cubic yards delivered at $20/yd3 would be about $200 for material and delivery; tailgate spreading often adds $100 to $300 depending on complexity and truck access. Final cost depends on site access, level of spreading required, and whether the driver can safely perform spreading.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and many Sedgefield deliveries meet free-delivery thresholds, but short loads or tight-access jobs can incur extra fees. Drivers may refuse or charge more for narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, soft lawns, or when a truck cannot safely enter the property, so note access details at checkout and add photos if possible.

Yes, suppliers commonly offer lower per-yard pricing for larger orders; discounts usually kick in around 10 cubic yards and improve further at 20+ yards because hauling and handling become more efficient. Contact our sales team for a custom quote—large jobs can often be scheduled for multiple truckloads at a reduced rate.

Some local suppliers or contracted crews can provide tailgate spreading, skid-steer spreading, and compaction, but it varies by provider and is not guaranteed. Typical rates for mechanized spreading and light compaction range from $80 to $250 per hour, or $150 to $600+ lump sum for common residential jobs; always request this service at checkout and expect the driver to confirm feasibility on arrival.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; same-day is rare and depends on local supplier availability. You can often get an estimate from photos or measurements, and suppliers may offer an on-site quote for larger projects—contact Hello Gravel to arrange an on-site visit if needed.

Local rules can apply—grading, large fills near creeks, or changes to stormwater flow may require permits or erosion-control measures from Guilford County or your municipality. Check with your local planning or permitting office and your HOA (if applicable) before ordering, and let Hello Gravel know if permits or special protections like silt fence are required.
