Fill Dirt in Anson County, NC

Delivered fill-dirt prices in Anson County typically range from about $15 to $35 per cubic yard (roughly $12 to $28 per ton), depending on supplier, distance, moisture and compaction. A single tri-axle dump truck load (about 10-14 cubic yards) will therefore cost roughly $150 to $500 for materials delivered, before any special delivery fees.

Fill-dirt is usually cheaper than decorative or structural gravel on a per-yard and per-ton basis in the North Carolina region because it is a lower-spec material. However, fill-dirt is not a finished driving surface; for a driveway you will typically use fill-dirt to raise or level the area and then put gravel on top, which increases the total cost. Always compare both materials when budgeting for a project.

Expect delivered fill-dirt in NC to cost about $15 to $35 per cubic yard, which converts to roughly $12 to $28 per ton using a common conversion of about 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons for loose fill. Prices vary with moisture content, local availability, and trucking distance, so use these as estimates and request a zip-code specific quote for accuracy.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material, which for fill-dirt is roughly 12 to 17 tons depending on moisture and density. At common depths, 1 cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches; multiply those by the truck cubic yards to get total coverage. For example, a 12-cubic-yard load covers about 972 sq ft at 4 inches.

Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft), you would need about 2.5 cubic yards of fill-dirt for a 4-inch base and about 1.2 cubic yards for a 2-inch lift. A single tri-axle truck (10-14 cubic yards) easily covers that—one truck at 10 cubic yards would cover roughly four 200-sq-ft driveways at 4 inches. Adjust for your actual width and desired depth when ordering.

The most cost-effective options are to order in bulk (full truck loads) and consolidate deliveries to reduce per-ton hauling charges, or to pick up material yourself if you have a suitable truck and trailer. Ask suppliers about bulk discounts, compare delivered quotes by zip code, and use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers quickly; keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees vary by location. Also request delivery windows and confirm truck access to avoid re-delivery fees.

Pea gravel is typically more expensive than fill-dirt; delivered pea gravel in the Anson County area often runs about $40 to $80 per cubic yard versus $15 to $35 for fill-dirt. That means a 10-14 cubic yard truck of pea gravel can cost roughly $400 to $1,120 delivered, compared with about $150 to $500 for a similar load of fill-dirt. Choose fill-dirt for bulk filling and pea gravel when you need a finished, decorative surface.

One cubic yard of fill-dirt covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. At typical Anson County delivered prices of $15 to $35 per cubic yard, that 1 cubic yard will cost between $15 and $35 delivered, though local factors like truck access and distance can change the final price. Use these figures to estimate material needs for leveling, trench backfill or small grade adjustments.

For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway (200 sq ft) using a 4-inch fill-dirt base (≈2.5 cubic yards) and a 3-inch gravel topping (≈2 cubic yards), expect fill-dirt costs around $40 to $90 and gravel costs around $90 to $160, for a materials-only delivered range of approximately $130 to $250. Prices depend on the gravel type you choose and local delivery fees; narrower or shallower sections will reduce quantities and cost. These estimates assume standard regional pricing and should be confirmed with a zip-code specific quote.
