Yes — our checkout shows per‑cubic‑yard and per‑truck pricing after you enter your delivery zip code. Per‑truck pricing assumes the local truck capacity (often about 10–12 cubic yards) but exact truck volume and final price depend on the local supplier and route. Use the site calculator or request a written estimate for a firm number.

Drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed and fees vary by supplier. For formal grading, compaction, or labor beyond tailgate spreading, we recommend hiring a local contractor — Hello Gravel can help coordinate referrals but does not guarantee worker availability or include heavy grading in the standard delivery price. Delivery fees depend on distance, truck type, and requested services and are shown in your quote.

Fill dirt is generally less expensive than screened topsoil because it contains fewer organics and is intended for bulk raising and structural fill. Gravel is usually used where drainage or a stable base is required and can be more costly per cubic yard. For lawns and planting areas in Winston‑Salem, a common approach is to use fill dirt to build grade and then cap with a few inches of topsoil for planting.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 1,000 x (4/12) = 333 cubic feet, which is roughly 12.3 cubic yards, so plan for about 12–13 cubic yards. We recommend ordering an additional 10–20% to account for compaction and grading — so about 14–15 cubic yards in this example. Hello Gravel provides an online materials calculator for quick estimates; on‑site measurement visits are not standard but can sometimes be arranged through local suppliers for an additional fee or referral.

Permits can be required if trucks will block public streets, use city right‑of‑way, or require a lane closure; Forsyth County and the City of Winston‑Salem each have specific rules for hauling and street work. Also check for neighborhood or HOA restrictions, driveway weight limits, and local codes that apply to construction deliveries. We recommend contacting Winston‑Salem Public Works or Forsyth County permitting before scheduling large deliveries and notifying Hello Gravel of any permit requirements when you order.

We commonly source regional grades such as clean fill (minimal organics), screened fill, and compactable fill that is free of debris. For driveway base or structural backfill in North Carolina, contractors usually prefer a clean, compactable fill with limited organic material and proper grading — screened or engineered fill is often best. Always follow the recommendations of your engineer or local code for foundation backfill; Hello Gravel can note specifications in your order so suppliers can match the request where available.

Standard Hello Gravel deliveries do not include compaction work or certified compaction testing. Compaction and testing are specialized services typically provided by contractors or geotechnical firms; we can refer local partners if you need compaction, proof of compaction, or lab testing as part of a construction scope. If compaction services are required, let our sales team know and we will include recommendations in your written estimate.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; next‑day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. During peak landscaping and construction seasons in spring and fall, suppliers and haulers can book up and lead times may be longer, so we recommend scheduling deliveries as early as possible. If you have a firm project date, tell us at booking and we will work to secure a delivery window.
