Why Bennett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bennett (city population 1,510) is feeling the effects of steady regional growth and shifting yard needs as nearby development expands — the surrounding area is part of a metro area population 2.3+ million and is growing at 2.80% annually. Local climate factors matter: Bennett averages 228 sunny days per year, receives an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of sun and seasonal rain increases demand for reliable aggregation materials for grading, filling low spots, creating level pads for sheds, and preparing bases for driveways and patios. Homeowners turn to quality fill materials to reduce settlement, improve drainage, and avoid repeated rework that often follows using inconsistent or organic-rich soils.Popular Projects in Bennett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bennett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bennett.
Delivery cost varies by quantity, distance from local suppliers, and truck type. Hello Gravel shows live quotes for your zip code (minimum 3 tons), but expect price differences based on haul distance in the West North Carolina region and seasonal demand. Standard delivery is avaIlable in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be requested (additional fee) if ordered before the cutoff; request a quote online for a precise price.
Calculate area in square feet times depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards (divide by 27) and multiply by tons per cubic yard. Example: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches: (1,000 x 4/12) / 27 = about 12.3 cubic yards; using an average of 1.2 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 15 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide your dimensions for a tailored estimate and consider ordering 5-10% extra for settling.
No, fill dirt is not a good final surface for driveways. Crushed stone provides drainage, load distribution, and a stable wearing surface suited to West North Carolina rainfall and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Use fill dirt only to raise or level subgrade, then install compacted crushed stone or gravel as the driveway base and surface.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed services. Compaction usually requires plate compactors or rollers and is typically handled by a contractor or homeowner rental. Request spreading in the order notes and coordinate with your supplier or contractor if compaction is required.
Fill dirt alone rarely solves erosion on slopes, especially in West North Carolina where heavy rains can intensify runoff. For slope stabilization, combine pRoper grading, erosion-control fabric, retaining walls, terraces, and vegetation or riprap as needed. Consult a landscaper or civil engineer for steeper slopes or persistent erosion problems to design a durable solution.
Fill dirt can be used in clay-dominant sites, but you must pay attention to drainage and compaction. In heavy clay areas of North Carolina, choose free-draining fill or mix with coarse material, install subdrains or slope the site to shed water, and compact in lifts to reduce future settling and wet-soil movement. Regional sourcing means material characteristics vary, so mention soil conditions in your order notes to get appropriate material.
Septic backfill typically requires clean, non-expansive fill free of large rocks and organic matter, but local health department rules vary. Before ordering, confirm specifications with your septic installer or county health department; Hello Gravel can supply common clean fill materials, but compliance with local inspection requirements is the customer's responsibility. Include project notes at checkout so suppliers can match material to septic backfill needs.
Fill dirt can serve as a subgrade but is not usually the wearing surface; longevity depends on pRoper compaction, drainage, and the materials placed on top. With correct compaction and a stable crushed-stone base, patios and walkways perform well for years in Bennett's climate, though some settlement is normal in the first months. Expect to monitor and top up low spots during the first year and use a crushed-stone base for long-term stability.
Simple deliveries of fill dirt usually do not require a permit, but changing lot grades, installing septic systems, or building retaining walls may trigger local permits or inspections. Always check with your town or county building and environmental health departments before major grading or septic work to confirm rules and avoid violations. If in doubt, your contractor or Hello Gravel sales team can help point you to local contacts.
Settlement depends on how the fill is placed and the existing soils; pRoperly compacted fill in lifts usually settles only a few percent, while loose or wet placements can settle 5-15% or more. It is common to allow for 5-10% extra material when ordering, inspect the area after heavy rains, and plan a top-up within the first 3-12 months as needed. For critical grades, use staged compaction and consider hiring a contractor to compact and verify elevations.
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.
