Why Black Mountain Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Black Mountain is a growing community with a city population of 11,300 and easy access to both mountain terrain and valley lots. With a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall, homeowners here are often balancing new construction, yard renovations, and drainage upgrades. That steady growth and the mix of slopes and flat lots create steady demand for reliable bulk materials — especially for groundwork that needs to manage water, prevent settling, and prepare foundations. Homeowners who understand the difference between loose topsoil and engineered fill look for consistent, compactable material that lets them finish grading faster and avoid rework. Fill Dirt is a basic, no-frills aggregate used to raise grades, level low spots, and provide a stable base under patios, driveways, and foundations. In Black Mountain’s climate — with moderate rain and plenty of sun — a well-graded, low-organic-content fill reduces long-term settling and erosion on slopes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and dump fleets that source regionally appropriate fill dirt, schedule delivery windows that fit your project timeline, and offer guidance on quantities and placement. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and our team will coordinate with the driver to assess feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in Black Mountain This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Black Mountain Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Black Mountain.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and site access. In Black Mountain and surrounding West North Carolina areas, delivered fill dirt commonly falls in a broad range; for an accurate price, check your zip code on our site or request a quote. Factors that raise cost include steep driveways, tight access, and same-day requests.
Use 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. At 2" depth, 1 yd3 covers about 162 sq ft (5 yd3 = 810 sq ft; 10 yd3 = 1,620 sq ft). At 4", 1 yd3 covers about 81 sq ft (5 yd3 = 405 sq ft; 10 yd3 = 810 sq ft). At 6", 1 yd3 covers about 54 sq ft (5 yd3 = 270 sq ft; 10 yd3 = 540 sq ft).
Yes, buying by the yard is almost always more cost-effective for projects needing multiple cubic yards. Bagged soil can cost several times more per cubic yard, and pickup trips are limited by bed capacity and towing limits. For small one-time needs under one cubic yard, pickup or bags may work; for typical yard or driveway work, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel saves time and often money.
Common dump trucks used in our network include single-axle trucks holding about 8-12 cubic yards and tri-axle trucks holding about 12-16 cubic yards. A typical full-size pickup bed carries roughly 0.5 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on load method and weight limits, so one tri-axle dump can equal roughly 8 to 30 pickup loads depending on pickup size. Always plan by cubic yards rather than truck count for accuracy.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards before topsoil or sod. Calculate volume by area multiplied by desired raise depth, then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards (for example, a 50' x 50' area raised 2" requires about 15.4 yd3). Order 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction, and consider compactable fill if the area needs to support structures or heavy loads.
For most homeowner projects in Black Mountain, scheduled bulk delivery is the most cost-effective and convenient option. It reduces trips, lowers per-yard cost, and includes professional dump truck delivery. For very small quantities under one or two yards, local pickup might be cheaper; use our calculator or get a quote to compare options by your zip code.
A typical gravel base over fill dirt for light residential driveways is 4 to 6 inches; for heavier or frequent truck traffic, 6 to 8 inches is common. To estimate material, multiply driveway area by desired depth and divide by 27 for cubic yards, then convert to tons using 1.4 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard for crushed stone. For example, a 12' x 40' driveway at 6" needs about 8.9 yd3 of base, roughly 12 to 15 tons of stone.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. That equals about 4.5 to 9 common wheelbarrow loads depending on wheelbarrow size (3 to 6 cu ft). It equals roughly 0.7 to 2 pickup loads depending on pickup bed size (typically 0.5–1.5 yd3). Fill dirt weight varies by moisture and composition but commonly ranges about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard.
Yes, many local suppliers offer compactable aggregates (crusher run, crushed stone) and recycled materials (reclaimed soil, RAP) that perform better under load and compact more reliably than raw fill dirt. These materials usually cost more per yard than loose fill dirt but can reduce long-term settlement and provide better structural performance. Ask us for alternate material options and local pricing so you can compare cost versus performance for your project.
Costs depend on volume, access, and delivery distance from local pits around Black Mountain. Small repairs, for example a 20' x 10' area filled 4" (~2.5 yd3), are often in the low hundreds of dollars for material plus delivery, while larger driveway regrades run higher. The fastest way to know is to enter your zip code on our site or request a free quote so we can show delivered pricing and available delivery dates.
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.
