Why Avon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Avon is a small but growing community with a city population of 786, located in a larger metro area of 2.3+ million and seeing an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a gardening hardiness zone of 8b—supports active outdoor projects year-round. That steady growth and favorable weather are driving demand for residential upgrades, new landscaping, and small construction projects. Homeowners in Avon look for reliable materials that reduce settling, support foundations and driveways, and help manage runoff; choosing the right aggregate is a first-line decision for any site-prep or grading job.Popular Projects in Avon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Avon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Avon.
Prices for delivered fill dirt in Avon typically range from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard, or roughly $8 to $20 per ton, depending on material quality, screening, and delivery distance. Local factors like seasonal demand, truck access, and whether the material is screened will affect final price. Use Hello Gravel's quote tool or contact our team for a firm delivered price to your zip code.
One cubic yard of fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons when loose, but weight varies with moisture and soil type. For planning a typical backyard grading project, use 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a safe estimate and ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific conversion if your fill is very wet or compacted. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and settling.
Many suppliers around Avon offer both screened (fewer rocks and debris) and unscreened fill dirt; screened material costs more but is easier to finish. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; Hello Gravel often shows free delivery in many areas but longer hauls or tight drop locations can add $50 to $200 or more. Check product descriptions on our site and add order notes if you need screened material or a tight-drop fee estimate.
Fill dirt alone is not usually the best driveway surface in Avon’s clay soils and rainy conditions because it can compact unevenly and hold water. It can be used as structural fill if properly compacted and graded, but we recommend a well-draining gravel or crushed stone surface and subbase, plus geotextile fabric to separate clay from the stone. Consult a contractor for compaction and drainage plans before ordering large volumes.
Permitting depends on the scope of work: small landscaping deliveries typically do not require permits, but lot grading, changing drainage patterns, or raising a building pad often does. Check with Avon town authorities or Dare County permitting before starting major earthwork, and let Hello Gravel know if you need delivery documentation for permits. We can also help schedule deliveries around permit timelines.
For erosion-prone slopes near Avon, use a well-graded fill with some clay content for cohesion but not pure clay, and cap it with 4-6 inches of topsoil and vegetation or mulch. Combine soil selection with erosion controls such as silt fence, wattles, hydroseeding, or riprap for concentrated flows. Talk to a local landscaper or erosion-control specialist to match the fill blend to your slope, exposure, and rainfall patterns.
Lifespan varies widely: a bare fill dirt pad without a proper surface may need repairs or replenishment within a few seasons, while a compacted subgrade with a stone surface can last 10 years or more with maintenance. Key factors are compaction, drainage, traffic load, and whether a wearing surface like crushed stone is used. Proper installation and periodic grading extend service life significantly.
No, fill dirt is generally not an appropriate substitute for the gravel, sand, or engineered backfill specified for septic drain fields; those systems require specific materials to ensure proper drainage and treatment. Fill dirt may be acceptable as structural backfill above the distribution pipes in some designs, but you must follow local health department and engineer specifications. Always check Dare County or local health department rules before buying material for septic work.
Costs depend on depth of fill and site conditions; as an example, 6 inches of fill over 0.5 acre equals about 403 cubic yards (roughly 525 tons). Hiring an operator with an excavator or skid steer plus a roller/plate compactor can range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more for labor and machine time, depending on access, hauling distance, and ground difficulty. Get detailed site quotes from local contractors and use Hello Gravel to coordinate material delivery to match the contractor schedule.
Yes. Rural and low-volume roads around Avon can have seasonal weight restrictions and soft spots after heavy rain that limit large truck access, and some routes may require detours or permits. We recommend checking road conditions and scheduling deliveries in dryer months when possible; Hello Gravel will coordinate with local haulers and may quote longer delivery times or additional charges if routing or permits are required. Always note narrow drives, low bridges, or resident-only roads in your Order Notes so we can plan the best delivery route.
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.
