Fill Dirt in Trent Woods, NC

Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in the Trent Woods area range from about $12 to $28 per cubic yard depending on supply, hauling distance, and whether the material is screened or has organics. Local sourcing and seasonal demand can push prices toward the low or high end, and delivery fees may be separate or included in some quotes.

A standard tri-axle dump truck on local routes usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of fill dirt; at $12 to $28 per cubic yard that material cost is roughly $120 to $336. Add a delivery fee (often $0 to $150 with Hello Gravel depending on availability); typical delivered truckload totals for residential deliveries fall in the $150 to $500 range.

Use cubic yards = (sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches = about 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards.

Material-only at $12 to $28 per cubic yard: 2 inches (6.2 yd) = $74 to $173; 4 inches (12.3 yd) = $148 to $346; 6 inches (18.5 yd) = $222 to $518. If a delivery fee applies, add roughly $0 to $150 depending on the supplier and service level, so realistic delivered ranges are about $75 to $325 for 2 inches, $225 to $500 for 4 inches, and $300 to $670 for 6 inches.

No—fill dirt is generally not recommended as a driveway base because it does not drain well and can settle or rut under traffic. Crushed gravel or crushed stone (3/4-inch stone or 'crush-and-run') provides better drainage, compaction, and long-term stability for driveways in the Trent Woods climate.

For Trent Woods we recommend a compacted crushed stone base (3 to 6 inches of 3/4-inch crushed stone over a geotextile if needed) topped with a surface layer appropriate to your design. Installed costs vary by depth and access: expect $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft for material, delivery, and basic compaction when done by a contractor; smaller jobs or difficult access can raise the per-square-foot cost.

Hello Gravel works with local haulers that typically have a minimum around 3 tons (roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards depending on density). Bulk discounts are common for larger orders (for example, a full truckload vs. a partial load); next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee, while same-day delivery is rare and may carry a significant surcharge depending on supplier availability.

Some local landscape suppliers and haulers offer 1/2-yard to 1-yard deliveries, but availability is limited and the per-yard price is higher due to truck logistics. If you need a very small amount, request a small-load option at checkout or contact our team; Hello Gravel can check suppliers near Trent Woods and show any small-load pricing or minimums.

Common add-ons include tailgate spreading (provided at the driver's discretion), offloading into tight spots (may incur an extra labor charge), and separate compaction services. Tailgate spreading is usually free or low cost when offered, while professional compaction or contractor labor can range from $75 to $200 per hour or $150 to $500+ for a typical small project; hauling away old material is often a separate pickup fee starting around $150 depending on volume and access.
