Why candlerheights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
candlerheights has a population of 7,000 and sits within the expanding West North Carolina region that serves a metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local development is driving more yard regrades, driveway raises, and foundation backfill projects. The climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners plan landscapes that manage both wet seasons and long sunny stretches. That combination of steady growth and mixed weather makes reliable aggregates important: homeowners need consistent, locally sourced materials for site preparation, erosion control, and filling low spots before laying turf, pavers, or concrete. Quality Fill Dirt helps create a stable base so finished surfaces perform as expected through seasonal changes.Popular Projects in candlerheights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - candlerheights Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in candlerheights.
Hello Gravel serves West North Carolina areas like Candlerheights when suppliers are available; check your zip code on our site to confirm. We deliver to residential driveways via contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) but delivery depends on access, overhead clearance, and local road limits, so provide photos or notes at checkout for best results.
Pricing varies by local supplier and season, but expect roughly $15 to $35 per cubic yard delivered in the West NC area as a general range. Bulk orders and repeat jobs often get lower per-yard pricing or reduced delivery fees; we display exact pricing and any discounts during checkout after you enter your address and quantity.
Most tri-axle dump trucks carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, though capacity can vary by region and material. A single truckload delivered to Candlerheights commonly ranges from about $350 to $900, depending on distance, material, and site access; get a quote in checkout for exact pricing.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch deep needs about 3.1 yd3, 3 inches needs about 9.3 yd3, and 6 inches needs about 18.5 yd3; at $15 to $35/yd3 delivered, expect a material cost roughly $140 to $650 for 3 inches of fill, not including delivery fees or compaction work.
Cost depends on length, width, base requirements, and labor rates. For example, a short driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide with a 6-inch compacted base needs about 3.7 yd3 of base material and 1 to 2 additional yards of top gravel; materials plus delivery might range $150 to $500, while labor and compaction by a contractor could add $300 to $1,200. These are estimates—request a detailed quote with your project dimensions and access notes for accuracy.
Generally, fill dirt is cheaper per cubic yard than finished gravel because it is used for bulk grading and contains fines; gravel costs more because it provides drainage and a stable wearing surface. Use fill dirt to raise grade, fill low spots, or build a subgrade, and use gravel or crushed stone on top of a compacted base when you need a driveway surface, drainage, and erosion resistance.
You should not put finish gravel directly over loose fill dirt without preparing a proper base. Install a compacted fill or structural base, consider geotextile fabric on soft or wet areas, and compact in lifts to reduce future settling; in West NC where soils can be clayey and drainage varies, good compaction and a suitable stone base are especially important.
Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not guarantee compaction services as part of standard delivery; drivers may not be equipped or authorized to perform compaction. For compaction or equipment rental (plate compactors, rollers), we recommend hiring a local contractor or renting from a tool rental company—ask our team and we can help with recommendations in your area.
For a driveway subgrade, choose clean, low-organic fill that compacts well and is free of large debris and vegetation; engineered or structural fill is ideal where available. Because West NC soils can be clay-rich and hold moisture, prioritize well-graded, compactable fill and pair it with a crushed stone base and proper drainage to reduce frost heave and settling.
Access and site conditions are major cost drivers: narrow drives, steep slopes, low overhead lines, neighborhood weight limits, or long walk-ins can increase cost or change delivery method. When ordering, provide your zip code, driveway width, drop location, overhead clearances, desired depth/volume, photos, and any permit details—this helps suppliers give accurate pricing and advise on permits or alternative delivery options.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; we recommend adding preferences in Order Notes and contacting customer service promptly if the material seems wrong. Settling can occur with loose fill—proper compaction in lifts is needed to minimize it; contact our team to review options if excessive settling or quality concerns occur.
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.
