Fill Dirt in Aulander, NC

Typical delivered fill dirt prices in rural Bertie County and Aulander usually range between $15 and $30 per cubic yard, depending on source, distance, and whether the material is screened or contains rocks. A full tri-axle truckload (common local delivery) often carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards and will therefore cost roughly $150 to $360 delivered; prices can be higher for long hauls or specialty fill. These are typical ranges, so get a local quote for exact pricing.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons through our checkout, and many local suppliers in small towns will set similar minimums or charge a small delivery fee for short loads. In Aulander, partial truck deliveries are possible but may incur a short-load fee or higher per-yard price if the supplier's truck route does not already serve your area. Always check the quote in checkout and contact our team if you need a smaller quantity or special scheduling.

Use this simple formula: (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. For example, a 20 ft by 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft) raised 6 inches is 1,000 x 6 / 324 = about 18.5 cubic yards, so you should order roughly 20 to 22 cubic yards to allow for compaction and spreading losses. We recommend adding 10 to 20 percent extra for settling and grading.

Suppliers commonly offer generic fill dirt (bank run), screened fill (fines removed), select or clean fill (low organic content), and engineered or compactable fill for base work. In West North Carolina and near Aulander the natural material may be more clay or sand influenced, so ask for a description like 'screened fill' or 'select fill' if you need fewer rocks and roots. Tell your rep the project (driveway base, yard grade, or around foundations) so they can recommend the right type.

Small residential grading projects often do not require permits, but anything that changes drainage, affects wetlands, or alters lot grading near public right-of-way may need a permit or review from Bertie County or the town of Aulander. Check with the Bertie County Planning and Inspections office and your town clerk before major fills, and locate utilities before any digging. Site prep usually includes removing vegetation, marking limits, and establishing positive drainage away from structures.

Yes, many suppliers working with Hello Gravel will deliver partial loads to small towns like Aulander, but availability depends on the supplier's route, truck size, and minimum order policy. Expect higher per-yard pricing or a small delivery surcharge for short loads; you can request a quote in checkout and our team can help match you with a supplier willing to do a partial delivery. If you need just a yard or two, ask about neighbor deliveries or grouping orders to reduce cost.

For structural fills and driveway subgrade in this region, a compactable, low-organic fill with mixed sand and fines performs best because it compacts well and sheds water. Clay-heavy native soils can hold moisture and cause settling, so contractors often prefer select or engineered fill for final grade under gravel or pavement. Discuss your drainage and compaction goals with your supplier or contractor so you get material suited to local soil conditions.

Compaction and finishing are typically separate services handled by contractors, though some suppliers or local haulers may provide tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Compacting with a plate tamp or small roller is commonly priced by the hour or job—expect roughly $75 to $200 per hour depending on equipment and travel, or a flat fee for small residential jobs. If you need compacting, request it when you order so we can try to coordinate a hauler or recommend local contractors.

Costs vary by length, site prep, and materials, but for a typical rural installation a 20-foot-wide driveway might run about $2.50 to $7.00 per square foot installed, which includes grading, base material, and surface gravel. For example, a 100-foot-long driveway (2,000 sq ft) could cost roughly $5,000 to $14,000 depending on how much excavation, engineered base, and compaction are required. Get an on-site estimate because local factors like drainage, access, and material choices drive the final price.

Standard delivery windows with Hello Gravel are 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Natural fill dirt varies by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if settling occurs, contact our customer service promptly with photos and delivery details so we can review the issue. We will work with the supplier and hauler to resolve concerns and guide you on next steps based on our refund and claims policy. For projects where settling is a concern, plan for compaction and order extra material up front.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
