Fill Dirt in Tyrrell County, NC

Expect a range rather than a single price: most Tyrrell County deliveries run about $10 to $35 per cubic yard delivered, depending on quantity, distance from the supplier, moisture content, and site access. Minimum orders start at 3 tons through our platform, and delivery fees or next-day surcharges may apply for short-notice requests or remote locations.

Use the simple formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards. For example, raising a 500 sq ft driveway by 4 inches (0.33 ft) needs about 6.2 cubic yards, roughly 8 tons of fill-dirt after factoring compaction. If you want, use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.

Fill-dirt can be used, but Tyrrell County’s coastal plain and higher groundwater mean you should plan for drainage and proper compaction. Contractors often add a coarse granular layer or rock beneath finished grades, and may include subsurface drainage or geotextile to prevent settling and saturation.

Local contractors typically place fill-dirt in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve roughly 90 to 95 percent relative compaction. They watch moisture content closely and often install a crushed-stone base or geotextile under driveways to create a stable surface for paving.

Fill-dirt is best for raising grade and filling low spots where planting or structural support is needed, while topsoil is for lawns and gardens and crushed stone is used for drainage and load-bearing bases. In Tyrrell County it is common to use fill-dirt for bulk grade work, then add crushed stone for driveway bases and topsoil only on finished planting areas.

Yes: Tyrrell County’s rainy seasons and hurricane season can leave fields saturated, making delivery, spreading, and compaction difficult. Plan major fill projects for drier months, allow extra time after heavy rains, and use erosion control (silt fences, straw) if you’re working during wetter periods.

Through Hello Gravel the platform minimum is 3 tons, which is the smallest order most suppliers will accept; many suppliers prefer larger orders to be economical. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, next-day is sometimes available for orders placed early (additional fee), and same-day delivery is rare and depends on local truck availability and distance.

Expect delivery by a tri-axle dump truck, so check for overhead wires, low tree limbs, gate widths, and soft driveways that may rut. Note access instructions in your order, request tailgate spreading at checkout if needed (driver discretion), and clear a return area for trucks to turn to avoid damage and additional fees.
