Why Browns Summit Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Browns Summit, with a city population of 11,520, sits within a growing West North Carolina region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million and is expanding at a rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b—supports active outdoor projects but also means soils can go from dry and workable to saturated during wet periods. That combination of steady growth and variable moisture creates steady demand for common aggregates. Homeowners and contractors in Browns Summit look for dependable materials like fill dirt to establish stable grades, prepare subgrades for driveways and patios, and correct low spots before laying topsoil or hardscaping.Popular Projects in Browns Summit This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Browns Summit Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Browns Summit.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Browns Summit area usually range from about $10 to $30 per ton, which translates roughly to $12 to $36 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. One cubic yard of typical fill dirt is roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons, so exact pricing depends on local supplier rates, delivery distance, and current demand. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and shows transparent, local pricing at checkout — check your zip code for exact quotes.
Many local suppliers serving Browns Summit offer both screened (cleaned of large rocks and roots) and unscreened (bank-run) fill dirt. Screened material is cleaner and better for grading and backfill but usually costs more; unscreened is cheaper for bulk earthmoving. Hello Gravel’s platform enforces a 3-ton minimum, though some suppliers may require larger truckload minimums for certain materials.
For structural backfill and subgrades around Browns Summit, common field specs call for 90% to 95% Standard Proctor compaction, placed in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compacted with vibratory or plate equipment. Contractors often perform nuclear density tests to verify compaction; your engineer or local building inspector may set the exact requirement. For non-structural grading, specs are looser, but proper drainage and even compaction are still important.
Central North Carolina sees moderate freeze-thaw activity and pockets of clay soils that can shrink, swell, and hold water, which increases settlement and frost-heave risk if poor fill is used. Using low-organic, well-draining screened fill or a granular structural fill and providing positive drainage reduces these issues. If your site has heavy clay, consider engineered fill, geotextile separation, or guidance from a local geotechnical engineer.
Hello Gravel often includes delivery at competitive rates and in many areas offers free delivery; when fees apply for Browns Summit they commonly fall in the $0 to $150 range depending on distance and access. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion and may carry an extra fee (commonly $25 to $75); Hello Gravel recommends requesting spreading in Order Notes but makes no guarantees.
You may need permits if importing large volumes of material, changing drainage patterns, or altering lot grades; local rules are set by Guilford County and any applicable town or homeowners association. Requirements vary based on project size and whether the work affects stormwater, floodplains, or public rights-of-way, so check with Guilford County Planning and Zoning or your municipality before ordering fill dirt. Hello Gravel’s team can help point you to local contacts but cannot advise on permit approval.
For slopes, choose a screened, well-graded fill with low organic content and a mix that includes sand and small gravels to promote drainage; avoid clay-heavy fills that retain water. Combine proper fill with erosion-control measures such as terraces, silt fencing, erosion-control blankets, and vegetation to stabilize slopes in West North Carolina’s rainfall patterns. In critical locations, use structural granular fill or rock benches per a site engineer’s recommendation.
Fill dirt alone is not a durable wearing surface; when used as a properly compacted base under a stone or crushed-stone driveway, you can expect good performance for many years if drainage is handled correctly. Typical maintenance includes occasional regrading, adding new stone to low spots, and repairing erosion after heavy rains. If left exposed, fill-dirt surfaces can rut and wash out quickly in this region’s storms.
Use fill dirt for bulk grading, raising grades, and creating a stable subgrade; it is not recommended as a finished driveway surface. Crushed stone or bank-run gravel makes a far better wearing surface for driveways because those materials lock together and shed water. For many projects a combination works best: fill dirt to build or level the subgrade, then a compacted crushed-stone base and a surface layer of appropriate aggregate.
Yes. Counties and NCDOT may impose seasonal weight or routing restrictions in spring or after prolonged wet weather, and some neighborhood roads or rural driveways cannot accommodate heavy tri-axle trucks. Deliveries also pause or slow during severe weather or muddy conditions when access is unsafe. Before ordering, verify site access, overhead clearance, and any local road restrictions, and let Hello Gravel know about tight driveways or gates so the supplier can plan the safest delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
