Why Beaufort Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Beaufort (city population: 9,470) is seeing steady development within a larger regional economy (metro area population: 2.3+ million) and a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of dry periods and heavy storms that affect grading, drainage, and foundations. As homeowners tackle landscaping, driveway repairs, and small construction projects, demand for dependable base material increases. Quality Fill Dirt is a basic but critical material for raising low spots, building level pads for sheds and patios, and stabilizing slopes before adding topsoil or paving. Using the right fill reduces long-term settling and erosion, which is especially important where seasonal rains and sun can quickly worsen poor grades.Popular Projects in Beaufort This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Beaufort Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Beaufort.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and truck size, but expect ballpark rates of about $10 to $35 per ton for plain fill dirt in the Beaufort area. Delivery fees, minimum order requirements, and seasonal demand can shift that range, so get an exact quote through Hello Gravel by entering your zip code and delivery address.
Hello Gravel partners with local landscape supply yards, quarry operators, and dirt haulers that serve Beaufort and the West North Carolina region. To see available suppliers and pricing for your address, check our website or contact our team with your zip code; we coordinate the local hauler and manage delivery scheduling.
A 1,000 sq ft area raised 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards. At a typical loose weight of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard that equals about 12 tons for 3 inches and 24 tons for 6 inches; order 10% to 20% extra to allow for compaction and grade adjustments.
For raising grade use clean, compactable fill dirt with low organic content; however for final driveway and patio bases you should cap the fill with a granular base such as crush-and-run or 3/4" stone for strength and drainage. In Beaufort's coastal, rainy environment, combine compacted fill with a drained stone base to reduce settling and washout.
Fill dirt alone is not a drainage solution—fine, clay-rich fill can hold water and increase runoff if not graded properly. For effective drainage in Beaufort's heavy rains, use well-compacted fill, proper slope, swales or French drains, and a permeable stone layer where runoff is expected.
Beaufort's coastal climate has limited freeze-thaw cycles, so compacted, well-draining fill generally performs well. The main risk is saturation from heavy storms; using low-organic fill, good compaction, and surface/subsurface drainage will reduce settlement and erosion after big rains.
Hello Gravel usually offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (confirm availability for your zip code). Our minimum order is 3 tons; actual lead times can vary by supplier, season, and local truck availability.
Use fill dirt to raise low spots or establish grade, but rely on crushed stone or a stone/sand mix as the structural base for a driveway. Crushed stone provides better load-bearing, drainage, and longevity in Beaufort's wet conditions, while fill dirt is a cost-effective bulk material for elevation and backfill.
Yes—projects near wetlands, floodplains, or coastal buffers in Beaufort may require permits or review by local planning, county, or state agencies. Before ordering large volumes, check with the Town of Beaufort Planning Department and Carteret County if your property is in a regulated zone or floodplain.
Small jobs typically need a plate compactor or walk-behind tamper; larger jobs use a vibratory roller or rented small roller. Equipment rental can run about $50 to $200 per day depending on the machine; hiring a contractor for placement and compaction often ranges from a few hundred to over $1,000 depending on job size and access—get local estimates and confirm the operator will remove organics and compact to required density.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
