Frequently Asked Questions - alamance Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in alamance.
Prices in Alamance vary by supplier, truck size, and material quality, but expect roughly $10 to $40 per cubic yard delivered. A typical tri-axle dump (about 10-12 cubic yards) usually runs between $150 and $500 delivered, depending on distance, local supply, and fees. These are estimates; use our checkout or request a quote for exact local pricing.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel per cubic yard because it is a lower-grade, uncompacted soil. However, fill dirt does not provide the drainage or load-bearing properties that driveway gravel does, so gravel is the better choice for stable driveway bases despite the higher cost.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil used to raise or level ground and contains little rock; it compacts but does not drain well. Gravel is crushed rock used as a structural base and for drainage; it supports vehicle loads and prevents rutting. For a lasting driveway in Alamance's climate, use fill dirt only to shape grades, then install a proper gravel base for strength and drainage.
You can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel and have local suppliers deliver to your property, or arrange pickup at a nearby supplier yard if they allow customer loadouts. Availability varies by zip code in Alamance County, so check our site or contact our team to see which local quarries and dirt yards serve your address.
Most local suppliers will deliver to residential addresses in Alamance County using dump trucks, but delivery rules and fees vary by supplier and neighborhood access. Hello Gravel's platform shows delivery options and any additional fees at checkout; standard delivery is typically 2+ business days and next-day options may be available for an extra charge.
Use this formula: (area in square feet) x (depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. For example, to raise a 500 sq ft yard by 2 inches you need about 3.1 cubic yards. For driveway shaping, plan for several inches of fill plus a separate gravel base; consult our material calculator for project-specific estimates.
Most local suppliers in West North Carolina do not routinely provide contamination testing for standard fill dirt unless requested or for specialized materials. If you are concerned about contaminants, ask the supplier for material source information, request a certificate of analysis, or arrange third-party testing before large deliveries; suppliers can often help coordinate testing but do not do mandatory testing by default.
Typical lead time in the region is 2+ business days from order, depending on supplier schedules and truck availability. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee, and same-week delivery is often possible if local suppliers have open slots; check available dates at checkout or call our team to confirm.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and most deliveries for bulk fill dirt use tri-axle dump trucks carrying roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards. Some supplier yards allow smaller loads or customer pickup in smaller trucks, but delivery minimums and truck sizes can vary by supplier and access, so confirm during checkout.
Permit requirements depend on local zoning, grading, stormwater rules, and the amount of material; small residential fills usually do not need permits, but larger fills or work near waterways often do. Contact Alamance County Planning and Inspections to confirm requirements for your address; suppliers and haulers can sometimes provide load tickets or source documentation to support permitting but are not responsible for permitting decisions.
Place fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 6 to 8 inches) and compact each lift if the final grade needs to support structures or pavement. Avoid using fill dirt as the final surface where drainage or stability is needed; add a proper gravel base for driveways and topsoil for planting. For large fills or structural work, hire a contractor with compaction equipment and consider compaction testing.
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.
