Why Barnardsville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Barnardsville, with a city population of 1,790, sits inside a growing West North Carolina region that supports expanding residential work (metro area population 2.3+ million). Local development is tracking a growth rate of 2.80% annually, and homeowners here face a climate of 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b. That mix of sun, rain, and slope makes dependable earthwork important: yards, driveways, and foundation approaches all require stable grades, proper drainage, and materials that compact reliably. As building activity increases, Barnardsville homeowners look for quality aggregates that reduce settling, limit erosion on slopes, and form a stable base for landscaping and structural projects.Popular Projects in Barnardsville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Barnardsville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Barnardsville.
Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance from local quarries. Barnardsville is a small mountain community, so remote delivery fees or fuel surcharges may apply compared with larger nearby towns; use Hello Gravel to get multiple local quotes. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and some deliveries in the region include free delivery while others may add a fee for longer hauls. For an exact price, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or call our team for a tailored quote.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards of material (1,000 x 4/12 ÷ 27). That equals roughly 15 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction; mountain clay and wet material push numbers toward the higher end. We recommend ordering 10-20% extra (about 18 to 22 tons total) to allow for compaction and settlement.
No — standard fill dirt (often clay-rich) does not drain well and can worsen erosion on steep slopes. For slope stabilization in the mountainous, rainy parts of West North Carolina, use engineered fill, drainage rock layers, geotextile, retaining structures, and vegetation. Fill dirt can be used as subgrade when combined with proper drainage and erosion control, but do not rely on it alone for slope protection.
Clay-heavy fill dirt can heave and retain water during freeze-thaw cycles common in Western NC, which increases movement and settling. To reduce problems, place fill in compacted lifts, add drainage layers (gravel), and avoid high-clay mixes where freeze-thaw is a concern. For critical projects consider a well-draining engineered fill or blending in granular materials.
Hello Gravel compares local suppliers and haulers in your area so you can see multiple quotes and delivery options. Because Barnardsville is small and hilly, the cheapest option often depends on which quarry or hauler is closest that day, so compare quotes rather than assuming one supplier is always cheapest. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to check current pricing, availability, and any delivery fees.
Crushed stone or a crushed-stone base (crusher run) is a far better choice for driveways because it provides drainage, load-bearing capacity, and long-term stability. Fill dirt tends to compress, rut, and hold water, especially in clay soils common around Barnardsville, so it should only be used as backfill beneath a properly constructed stone base. For best results use compacted fill as needed under the subgrade, then install a crushed stone base and a suitable surface layer.
It depends on the scope and location of the work. Small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but major earthmoving, soil import where streams or steep slopes are affected, or work in regulated watersheds may need Buncombe County or local permits and erosion control plans. Check with Buncombe County planning and the town or HOA if applicable before ordering large amounts.
Expect some settlement and possible regrading within 6 to 24 months, depending on how well material was compacted, slope, and how much rain the area receives. Clay-rich fills and poorly compacted areas will settle faster and may need topping up sooner, while properly placed and compacted fills settle less. Plan to add 10-20% extra material at installation and inspect after the first heavy rainy season.
For small patches and narrow areas a plate compactor is usually fine, but for larger driveway projects a small vibratory roller or sheep's foot roller gives better results. Compact in 6-inch lifts, control moisture, and test compaction as you go. Local rental companies in Western NC commonly deliver compactors and small rollers, but Hello Gravel does not rent equipment — check local rental yards for delivery options.
Some local suppliers do offer screened fill dirt; washed fill dirt is less common because washing is typically used for topsoil or sand products. Same-day delivery is possible only if a supplier and truck are already available nearby; Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee. Request screened material and preferred delivery timing in the Order Notes at checkout and we will try to match you with a supplier that meets those needs.
Most fill dirt deliveries in the Hello Gravel network arrive by tri-axle dump truck, which offloads from the rear and needs reasonable access and room to turn. Mountain roads, narrow driveways, steep grades, and overhead obstacles in Barnardsville can limit truck access, so note tight access and preferred drop location when ordering. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but cannot guarantee it, and additional site prep or a smaller truck may be needed for difficult accesses.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
