Costs depend on truck size, distance, and material availability; a typical dump truck load (roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards) of fill dirt delivered to Staley may range depending on local rates and fuel charges. Hello Gravel provides upfront quotes for delivery and will confirm any additional fees before you order. Contact us for an exact price for your address and required quantity.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For 1,000 square feet that equals about 6.2 cubic yards at 2 inches depth, 12.3 cubic yards at 4 inches, and 24.6 cubic yards at 8 inches. Confirm desired compaction depth for your project before ordering since fill settles and may require extra material.

Prices fluctuate with local supply, but expect a delivered cubic yard of fill dirt in West North Carolina to be lower than processed soils; Hello Gravel can give current per-yard pricing for your location. Keep in mind minimum order sizes, delivery fees, and whether the truck can dump in your preferred spot, which can affect the overall cost.

No — fill dirt is designed for structural fill and grading, not for planting. It is typically low in organic matter and may compact heavily, which is poor for root growth; gardeners usually use topsoil or a mix like 70% topsoil and 30% compost for planting beds. If you need planting material, order topsoil or ask Hello Gravel about locally sourced topsoil options.

Fill dirt can be used to raise or grade the subgrade beneath a driveway, but it should be well compacted and capped with a proper aggregate base for drainage and durability. Do not use loose fill dirt as the finished driving surface; instead place compacted fill, then a layer of crushed stone or driveway gravel on top. Our suppliers can advise on appropriate base thickness for local soil and climate conditions.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers by dump truck (often tri-axle).
