Why Archdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Archdale is a city of 12,000 experiencing steady growth at 2.80% annually and a moderate climate with 228 sunny days per year, about 34.00 inches of rain each year, and USDA hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun, rainfall, and expanding residential work drives steady demand for basic construction materials such as fill dirt for grading, foundation backfill, raised beds, and utility trenches. Homeowners and small contractors in Archdale need reliable, regionally sourced fill dirt that compacts well and resists washout during rainy spells. Clear information on material grade, delivery timing, and quantities helps local homeowners avoid settling, drainage issues, and project delays. Fill dirt is a coarse, low-organic subsoil used to build up grades, fill depressions, and provide a stable base under patios, driveways, and slabs in Archdale’s climate. With about 34.00 inches of annual rain, select fill dirt that drains yet compacts to limit settling and erosion; avoid topsoil mixes when structural support is required. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and dump-truck delivery so the right material arrives on schedule. Use our quantity calculator and expert guidance to order the proper amount and reduce the chance of rework on your project.Popular Projects in Archdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Archdale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Archdale.
Delivered fill dirt in Archdale typically ranges, depending on source, distance, and screening, but expect roughly $10 to $35 per cubic yard (about $8 to $25 per ton) as a general ballpark. Prices can vary by supplier, truck type, and whether spreading or lifting is needed, so get a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery may carry an extra fee.
Archdale sits in the Piedmont, where clay-rich red soils and moderate to heavy summer rain influence drainage and compaction. Fill dirt placed on clay or poorly drained areas may hold water and compress more, while freeze-thaw cycles in winter are mild but can affect freshly placed material. Factor local drainage patterns and slope into your plan and consider adding drainage or geotextile if water is a concern.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Archdale, typically using tri-axle dump trucks (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards) and smaller single-axle trucks for tight jobs. Many suppliers prefer full-truck loads for best pricing (about 10 to 15 tons per tri-axle), but Hello Gravel accepts orders starting at 3 tons. Ask for truck type in the quote so you know how many yards/tons will arrive and where trucks can safely dump on your property.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet; 500/27 = 18.5 cu yd). In weight that is roughly 22 to 30 tons depending on the dirt's density and moisture content. Order an extra 10% to 15% to account for compaction and settlement, so plan to buy about 20 to 21 cubic yards.
Local rules vary, so check Archdale city codes and Randolph County planning for any grading, driveway, or stormwater permits that apply to changing elevations or redirecting runoff. Many HOAs have restrictions on visible grading, addition of material, or changes to driveway surfacing, so review your HOA covenants before starting. If your project affects neighbors or alters drainage, contact the city or county public works to confirm requirements.
Fill dirt is a low-cost option for bulk raising and filling voids, but it is not a good final surface for driveways or lawns. For driveways, crushed stone or dense-graded aggregate provides better drainage and load-bearing capacity under traffic, while topsoil (with organic matter) is best for lawns and planting. A typical approach in Archdale is to use fill dirt to raise grade, then cap driveways with compacted crushed stone and spread screened topsoil where you will sod or plant.
Fill dirt will settle over time, especially if placed in thick layers or on soft clay; expect noticeable settlement unless material is placed in controlled lifts and compacted. For most projects, compacting in 4- to 8-inch lifts with a plate compactor or roller helps reduce settlement, and geotextile fabric is recommended under driveways or in poor soils to stabilize the base. If you need near-zero settlement (for structures or paved surfaces), have a contractor perform compaction testing and consider engineered fill.
Plan fill dirt deliveries and installation for drier seasons—spring and fall in West North Carolina are usually best—to avoid summer thunderstorms and muddy conditions. Heavy rain can delay deliveries, make site access difficult, and reduce compaction quality, while winter freezes can limit the effectiveness of compaction equipment. Also note Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee.
For under sod, landscapers in the Archdale area typically recommend screened fill dirt with low organic content so turf roots can establish in a dedicated topsoil layer above it. For patios and slabs, use compactable granular fill (well-graded sand/gravel or structural fill) placed and compacted in lifts. For driveways, installers usually put structural fill or compacted aggregate as a base, then top with crushed stone; discuss your desired finish with your landscaper so they can specify the right mix.
Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and often limited to light spreading. Full spreading, grading, and compaction are typically provided by local contractors and billed separately from material delivery; some suppliers may offer these services for an extra fee. If you need hauling off excess material, erosion control, or test compaction, request itemized quotes from Hello Gravel or local contractors so you can compare material and service costs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
