Why Aurora Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Aurora has a population of 1,650 and sits in a fast-growing regional market with a 2.80% annual growth rate. The area sees about 228 sunny days per year and receives roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually, placing it in hardiness zone 8b. Those climate and growth patterns drive steady residential construction and landscaping activity—from new foundations and raised beds to driveway grading and yard re-grading—creating demand for dependable bulk materials. Homeowners and small contractors in Aurora look for consistent material quality and predictable delivery as they manage projects that must hold up to seasonal rainfall and local soil conditions. Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice for many of those projects in Aurora. It works well for building grades, filling low spots, creating base layers under patios and driveways, and supporting utility trenches before topsoil or gravel is added. Given the area's moderate rainfall and sun, properly compacted fill dirt improves drainage and reduces settling over time. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, schedules delivery windows, and offers tools to calculate how much you need, so you get the right material for your site without extra hassle.Popular Projects in Aurora This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aurora Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Aurora.
Delivered price for fill dirt in the Aurora area varies with supplier, distance, and seasonal demand, but a typical range for West North Carolina is roughly $12 to $35 per ton delivered. Exact pricing depends on your zip code, required quantity, and site access, so use our checkout or request a quote for an exact rate. Additional fees can apply for remote deliveries, limited access, or next-day service.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order for all materials, including fill dirt. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; rural Aurora deliveries or difficult access may incur an additional delivery charge. You can check final delivery fees at checkout or get an upfront quote from our team.
For hillside driveways and erosion control in West NC's rainy, freeze-thaw climate, use well-graded structural fill with good compaction characteristics rather than loose topsoil. For driveways, a layered approach—geotextile, compacted structural fill, and a crushed stone wearing surface—is recommended; for erosion control, combine engineered fill with drainage and vegetation or erosion-control matting. For steep slopes or large fills, consult a civil engineer or local contractor to specify proper material and compaction.
Estimate using 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and a typical fill-dirt weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Raising 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards or ~8.7 tons; by 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards or ~17.3 tons; by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards or ~26.0 tons. Order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and settling, and remember our 3-ton minimum order.
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the project type and Beaufort County regulations; small landscape fills often do not require permits, but structural fills, driveway changes, septic work, or grading that affects drainage usually do. Compaction testing is commonly required for foundation backfill and engineered fills, and local inspectors or a geotechnical report may be needed for larger projects. Contact Aurora town hall or the Beaufort County planning/building department before major fills to confirm requirements.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers serving Aurora and nearby West North Carolina towns, with lead times that typically range from 2 to 7 business days depending on stock and weather. Rural sites or busy seasons can extend lead times, while next-day delivery is available in many areas for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Check availability for your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for supplier and lead-time details.
In clay- and loam-dominated soils common in West North Carolina, fill dirt can settle, retain water, and shift with freeze-thaw cycles if not properly compacted and drained. Long-term performance improves with proper compaction, positive surface and subsurface drainage, and avoiding organic-rich topsoil as structural fill. Maintenance typically includes regrading low spots, adding gravel or top dressing on driving surfaces, and keeping drainage features clear.
Use fill dirt as a subgrade to raise grade or fill voids but not as a finished driving surface; crushed stone is the right material for driveway bases and drainage because it compacts well and sheds water. Topsoil is for planting and landscaping, not structural support. For foundations, use engineered fill and compact per a geotechnical recommendation; for driveways, combine compacted fill with a crushed stone wearing layer.
Mark the preferred drop location clearly in Order Notes and on-site with flags or cones, and call 811 before digging so underground utilities are located. Ensure at least 12 to 14 feet of clear turning space and 12 to 16 feet of overhead clearance for tri-axle dump trucks, provide a stable pad for the truck to operate on, and protect lawns or paved surfaces with plywood if needed. Note that tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.
Avoid placing large fills during rainy periods or when the ground is saturated—spring and late-fall can be wetter in West North Carolina—because wet soil compacts poorly and increases rutting and spreading issues. Late spring through early fall often offers the most reliable window for delivery and compaction, but cooler months can work if the ground is dry and not frozen. Schedule earlier and allow extra lead time during rainy seasons, and consider next-day options if weather windows are tight.
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.
