Why Battleboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Battleboro has a population of 3,800 and sits within a broader metro region of 2.3+ million residents that is growing at 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports steady residential expansion and active landscaping seasons. That combination of growth and climate drives demand for earthwork, grading, and yard-leveling projects where reliable fill material matters. Homeowners increasingly seek quality aggregates because poorly chosen or uncompacted fill can lead to settling, drainage problems, and extra costs down the line—so getting the right fill dirt up front saves time and prevents rework in Battleboro’s mix of sun, seasonal rain, and local soils. Fill dirt is clean subsoil used to raise grades, fill low spots, and support hardscapes; it is not topsoil and won’t support plant growth on its own. In Battleboro’s environment, with an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, well-compacted, properly graded fill dirt helps prevent washouts and long-term settling during wet months while standing up to sunny, drier periods. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt and coordinates dump-truck delivery on your schedule. Standard delivery requires 2 business days, with a next-day option for qualifying orders; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Battleboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Battleboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Battleboro.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt around Battleboro vary by supplier and season, but expect a rough range of $12 to $30 per ton delivered, with local sourcing and moisture affecting the price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; small-load deliveries under local minimums may include extra trip or handling fees. For an exact number, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team for a local quote.
Fill dirt is fine-grained soil meant to raise grade, not as a structural base. For driveways on clay in West North Carolina, use fill dirt only to build grade; the driveway base should be crusher run or aggregate base (3/4" minus or similar) for strength and drainage. Contractors in the region typically place fill dirt and then install a compacted aggregate base to prevent long-term settling and drainage problems.
Measure the area (length x width) and the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. As a planning rule, one cubic yard of loose fill dirt generally weighs about 1.0 to 1.3 tons depending on moisture and compaction; Hello Gravel uses ~1.2 tons per cubic yard as a common estimate. Example: to raise a 10 ft by 10 ft area by 6 inches: 10 x 10 x 0.5 = 50 cu ft = 1.85 cu yd, times 1.2 = about 2.2 tons (you would order our 3-ton minimum).
In Battleboro's climate, fill dirt can settle, shift, and retain moisture during heavy summer rains and can heave slightly with freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Proper installation—placing fill in thin lifts and compacting, and pairing with a well-draining aggregate layer where needed—reduces movement and water retention. For areas exposed to repeated wetting and drying, consider adding drainage features or using engineered fill and aggregate instead of relying on fill dirt alone.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery of fill dirt via local dump truck fleets; our drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but that service is not guaranteed. Compaction is typically performed by contractors with plate compactors or rollers; we can connect you with local suppliers and haulers, and you can request spreading at checkout, but plan to hire a contractor for professional compaction and finishing work.
Use fill dirt to build up low areas or alter grades, but not as the finished base for a driveway. For Battleboro driveways—especially on clay soils—compressible fill should be capped with a compacted aggregate base such as crusher run or ABC (aggregate base course) to provide strength and drainage. Contractor practice in the region is to correct grade with fill, then install several inches of compacted aggregate for a durable driveway.
Fill dirt alone is prone to settling and may show ruts or low spots within months to a few years, depending on traffic and local wetting. If you use fill dirt under a properly compacted aggregate base and maintain drainage, the overall assembly can last many years; expect to add surface material and regrade low spots every few years. Routine maintenance includes repairing erosion after heavy rains and topping low areas to keep grades even.
Yes—changing lot grades, directing runoff onto neighboring properties, or filling areas near wetlands can trigger town or county permitting requirements in Edgecombe County and municipal rules in Battleboro. Many HOAs also have rules about altering yard elevations or visible grading. Check with Battleboro town offices, Edgecombe County planning, and your HOA before placing large volumes of fill dirt to confirm zoning, drainage, and permit needs.
Fill dirt can help reshape a slope but is not the best standalone choice for erosion control because fine soils can wash off during heavy summer rain. For sloped lots in Battleboro, combine fill dirt with erosion-control measures such as geotextile fabric, retaining walls, terracing, seeded vegetation, and surface mulch, and provide proper drainage paths to reduce runoff. Contractors usually install compacted lifts and drainage features before final grading to limit erosion risks.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which suits most small homeowner projects; small loads below local supplier minimums may incur additional trip fees, making per-ton costs higher. Contractors ordering multiple loads get bulk pricing and lower per-ton delivery fees because of larger volume and fewer stops. For the best price, get a local quote through our site, compare single-load versus bulk rates, and ask about delivery fees specific to your Battleboro address.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
