Why Alliance Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alliance has a city population of 485 and sits within a growing regional market — the nearby metro serves 2.3+ million people and is expanding at about 2.80% annually. With an average of 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain, homeowners in Alliance are regularly balancing wet-season drainage needs with summer sun exposure in garden and yard projects. That steady local growth is driving more residential grading, foundation backfill, and landscape renovations, and those projects require reliable, low-cost bulk materials. Homeowners and small contractors choose quality aggregates because properly sourced fill dirt reduces settlement, improves compaction under patios and driveways, and creates stable, level pads for sheds, walkways, and planting beds.Popular Projects in Alliance This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alliance Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Alliance.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Alliance typically range from about $8 to $25 per cubic yard and roughly $6 to $18 per ton, depending on supplier, haul distance, and moisture content. One cubic yard of loose fill dirt usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons, so final cost will vary with density. Get a zip-code quote through Hello Gravel to see exact local pricing and any delivery fees; our minimum order is 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Alliance rather than listing specific company names. Minimums vary by supplier: some accept the platform minimum of 3 tons, while others prefer a full truckload (10 to 15 tons) for better rates. Use our checkout to see supplier options, minimums, and delivery windows for your zip code.
Small residential projects—like raising a driveway or filling low spots—often do not need a permit, but rules vary by town and county. Check with the Alliance town office or the local county planning department before major grading, work near property lines, or any project that affects drainage or wetlands. When in doubt, ask your contractor or include a note in your Hello Gravel order so we can flag potential permit concerns.
In West North Carolina's humid, rain-prone climate, loose fill dirt can settle and retain moisture if not compacted and drained properly. Proper installation—moisture conditioning, compacting in lifts, and providing surface drainage—reduces settlement and freeze-thaw effects. For areas exposed to constant wetting, consider mixing with or capping by free-draining material to improve stability.
A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft wide by 20–24 ft long) raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs roughly 7 to 11 cubic yards of fill dirt, which is approximately 9 to 16 tons depending on material density. Exact amounts depend on your driveway dimensions and compaction factor, so use Hello Gravel's calculator or provide measurements when requesting a quote. Remember our 3-ton minimum and that many suppliers deliver by the truckload.
Contractors in the area commonly place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller until it reaches design density. They recommend moisture conditioning (not too wet or dry), finishing with a layer of well-graded base or crusher run for driveways, and avoiding work on frozen or overly saturated ground. Ask for compaction testing if the project has structural requirements.
Fill dirt is a cost-effective option to build grade and add bulk, but it is not a durable driving surface on its own. Crusher run or road base compacts much better, provides drainage, and makes a long-lasting base for driveways—so a common approach is bulk up with fill dirt, then cap with 4 to 6 inches of crusher run. For best results in Alliance's wet climate, prioritize proper drainage and a compacted road base on top of any fill dirt.
Yes—many local landscapers and small earthwork contractors offer hauling and spreading; some suppliers or contracted truckers listed through Hello Gravel may also provide spreading at the driver's discretion. Labor rates vary widely: expect smaller jobs to be quoted at $200 to $600 flat, or around $50 to $100 per hour for crews, depending on access, equipment, and job complexity. Always get a written estimate that specifies spreading, compaction, and disposal of excess material.
If properly installed and compacted with good drainage, fill dirt can remain stable for many years, but most homeowners see some minor settlement within the first 6 to 12 months. In Alliance's rainy environment, low spots or poorly compacted areas may require touch-ups or additional material within 1 to 3 years. Good drainage design and proper initial compaction reduce the need for future regrading.
Fill dirt can be used to build swales or gentle grade changes, but because it often has fine particles that hold water, it is not ideal as the finished erosion-resistant surface. Best practice in Alliance is to shape grades with fill dirt, then stabilize with vegetation, erosion-control fabric, riprap, or a layer of coarser material to prevent washout. For projects near streams or steep slopes, check local ordinances and consider engineered solutions from landscapers or civil contractors.

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.
