Why Ahoskie Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ahoskie's city population is 7,830, and the area is experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate features annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, about 228/year sunny days, and a gardening hardiness zone of 8b, which together shape yard drainage and soil behavior. As homeowners take on more landscaping, driveway, and grading projects, demand rises for dependable bulk materials that perform consistently in wet spells and bright, warm conditions. Quality fill dirt helps establish proper grade, reduce erosion during heavy rains, and create a stable base for patios, garages, and landscape beds—making accurate material choice and timely delivery essential to avoid costly rework.Popular Projects in Ahoskie This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ahoskie Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ahoskie.
Delivered fill dirt prices vary based on distance, truck access, and quantity. In the Ahoskie area you can typically expect roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard delivered, but rates depend on local supplier availability and haul distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and can provide a firm quote for your ZIP code and delivery window.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches requires about 18.5 cubic yards (1000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft, 500/27 = 18.5 cu yd). Fill dirt in this region usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so plan on roughly 23 to 26 tons. Order about 10% extra to allow for settlement and compaction, so budget for about 25 to 30 tons and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum.
Fill dirt is not the best material for a finished driveway surface because it compacts variably and can rut under traffic. For Ahoskie's sandy Coastal Plain, a compacted crushed stone or gravel base with geotextile fabric is a better choice for load-bearing and drainage. Fill dirt can be used beneath the base as subgrade if it is free of organic material and properly compacted.
Fill dirt can be used to regrade slopes and restore lost material, but by itself it is not an erosion-control finish. In Ahoskie's climate you should combine fill dirt with topsoil, seed or sod, erosion-control blankets, or retaining structures to stabilize slopes and manage runoff. Proper grading and drainage measures are essential because heavy rains can accelerate erosion in the Coastal Plain.
Typical delivered prices in the Ahoskie area often fall between $15 and $40 per cubic yard, depending on supply, distance, and site access. Per-ton pricing varies with material density but commonly equates to about $10 to $30 per ton for local fills. The best way to know the exact cost is to get a Hello Gravel quote for your address and desired delivery date.
Crushed stone is usually preferred directly around septic tanks and distribution boxes because it provides drainage and prevents settling around piping. Fill dirt is acceptable as cover above the stone layer but should not replace the engineered stone specified by your septic designer or local health department. Always follow the septic permit plans and check with Hertford County or your installer for local requirements.
You can use fill dirt under a shed if the material is clean (no roots or organic debris), placed in thin lifts, and compacted between lifts with proper equipment. In Ahoskie's sandy soils, adding a gravel base or geotextile beneath the fill helps with drainage and support. For larger or heavy structures, consider a contractor or compaction testing to meet load requirements.
Some settling starts immediately after placement, with most noticeable settlement occurring in the first few months to a year, depending on compaction and weather. Expect to do light regrading or add a top dressing once the material has settled—planning for 5% to 20% settlement is common. Proper compaction at installation reduces later regrading, but a follow-up check after the first rainy season is a good idea.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver to the Ahoskie area, and some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. If you need spreading or compaction, ask at checkout and request local contractor recommendations; many landscapers and excavators in Hertford County provide spreading and compaction services. For larger jobs, we recommend hiring a local contractor to ensure proper compaction and grading.
You may need permits if your regrade affects stormwater drainage, floodplains, wetlands, or public right-of-way. Contact Ahoskie Town Hall and Hertford County planning or building departments to confirm local rules, and check with North Carolina DEQ for environmental concerns on larger projects. It's a good idea to verify permit needs before ordering large volumes to avoid delays or removal orders.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
