Why Andrews Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Andrews has a city population of 3,970 and sits within a growing regional market tied to a metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local homeowners and contractors are busy with lot grading, driveway installs, foundation backfill, and landscape renovations. Andrews' climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a pattern of wet-season settling and sun-driven drying that increases demand for stable, low-organic aggregates. Homeowners look for consistent material performance to prevent erosion, control runoff, and create reliable bases for patios, sheds, and retaining walls.Popular Projects in Andrews This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Andrews Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Andrews.
Delivery cost varies with distance, site access, and the amount ordered. In Andrews and similar West North Carolina towns, small deliveries often incur modest fees or free delivery depending on supplier; rural hauls can add $50 to $200 if a longer trip or tight access is required. Hello Gravel shows delivery pricing at checkout for your zip code and the minimum order is 3 tons.
For slopes and driveways, use screened, well-graded fill dirt that is low in organic material and free of large roots or debris. In mountain areas like Andrews, compactible clay/silt mixes are common, but you should combine fill dirt with a gravel base (crusher run or crushed stone) on driveways to improve drainage and stability. Ask your supplier for screened or "engineered" fill dirt if you need consistent compaction.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards of material, which is roughly 15 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on local density. We recommend ordering 10% to 20% extra (about 17 to 22 tons total) to allow for compaction and settling. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate.
Local contractors usually place fill in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or small vibratory roller for best results. Labor rates in Cherokee County vary, but expect installation and compaction charges in the range of $40 to $100 per hour or about $5 to $15 per ton as a rough guide; get written quotes since access and slope affect price. Always confirm whether spreading and compaction are included or billed separately when you order.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a finished driveway surface in a humid, freeze-thaw area like Andrews; it can rut, wash out, and settle over time. With proper compaction, good subbase rock (crusher run), surface stone, and drainage, a drive with a fill layer can perform well for many years, but periodic maintenance and regrading are common. Plan for seasonal inspections after heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles.
For muddy spots, crushed stone or crusher run are better choices for creating a stable, draining surface because they lock together and shed water. Use fill dirt only to raise grade or fill low areas, then cap with crusher run or 3/4" crushed stone for long-term performance. In Andrews, combining geotextile fabric under the stone layer helps prevent mixing with native soils and reduces rutting.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day or very short-notice deliveries in Andrews depend on local supplier and truck availability and may carry a premium fee; call our team to check real-time options. Remember the 3-ton minimum order when requesting expedited service.
Small deliveries for yard leveling typically do not require a permit, but larger earthwork, driveway changes, or work near streams may trigger Cherokee County or local regulations such as grading, erosion control, or stormwater permits. Check with Cherokee County planning and zoning before major fill projects, especially if you impact slopes, wetlands, or public right-of-way. When in doubt, contact our team and your county office for guidance before ordering large volumes.
Screened fill dirt in West North Carolina commonly ranges from about $12 to $35 per ton, depending on sourcing, screening, and haul distance to Andrews. Suppliers and Hello Gravel may offer bulk discounts once you hit roughly 15 to 25 tons, with larger price breaks at truckload quantities; check the checkout quote for exact pricing. Remember that delivery, spreading, and special requests can change the final cost.
Expect some settling over the first 6 to 12 months, so plan to top up low spots and regrade as needed, especially after heavy rains or spring thaw. Avoid heavy traffic on freshly placed material until it is properly compacted and dry, and add surface stone for driveways to reduce erosion. Seasonal actions include checking drainage in the rainy season, regrading ruts after winter freeze-thaw, and keeping vegetation or mulch on slopes to limit erosion.
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.
