Why Cedar Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Located in Cedar Island (city population: 220), homeowners are working in a steadily growing area with a 2.80% annual growth rate and a moderate climate that includes 228 sunny days/year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions—sunny periods balanced with regular rainfall—drive demand for reliable fill materials for grading, foundation backfill, and yard regrading. Local development tied to the broader metro area (metro area population: 2.3+ million) increases pressure on contractors and DIYers to use materials that compact well and resist settlement. Homeowners want fill dirt that creates proper grades, improves drainage, and reduces the need for rework, while contractors need consistent, regionally sourced material for predictable results. Fill dirt in Cedar Island should be low in organic matter and well-graded so it compacts predictably in the local climate with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and long sunny periods. Proper fill dirt helps prevent erosion, supports driveways and foundations, and creates stable beds for sod and hardscapes. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers who source regionally matched fill dirt, offer transparent pricing, and schedule deliveries by trusted haulers. We help you calculate quantities, pick a delivery date, and get the right material on site so your project performs in Cedar Island’s specific conditions.Popular Projects in Cedar Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cedar Island Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cedar Island.
Local delivered prices for fill dirt to Cedar Island commonly fall in the range of about $10 to $30 per cubic yard, or roughly $8 to $25 per ton, depending on material quality, moisture, and delivery logistics. Island deliveries can push prices toward the high end if a barge, long haul, or special access is required. For an exact quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team — minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects customers to local suppliers who serve Cedar Island; available suppliers vary by season and tide/access constraints. Expect the standard minimum order of 3 tons, and additional delivery fees when trucks need longer off-route travel, barge transfers, or special access permits; Hello Gravel will surface any extra charges at checkout. Contact our team or enter your address on the site to see supplier options and delivery estimates for your property.
Yes, coastal and island properties often need permits or approvals before large fills. Carteret County, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, and the Army Corps of Engineers may have rules for wetlands, dune systems, tidal marshes, and work seaward of mean high water, and local zoning may limit fill volumes or elevation changes. Check with the Carteret County planning or permitting office and a local licensed contractor before ordering; Hello Gravel can help coordinate delivery once permits are in place.
On Cedar Island's sandy soils, 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.3 tons, but moisture and composition change that figure. Example coverage: a 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 4 inches deep needs roughly 1 cubic yard (about 1.2 tons); a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 7.4 cubic yards (about 8.5 to 10 tons). Use the Hello Gravel calculator for project-specific estimates and always order a little extra for settlement and compaction.
Contractors recommend removing organic material, placing fill in thin lifts (generally 4 to 8 inches loose), and mechanically compacting each lift to achieve stable density. Use geotextile fabric or geogrid where soft soils exist, consider a coarse rock or crushed stone base for structure and drainage, and get a geotechnical recommendation for large fills or where flood elevation is a concern. Moisture control and staged compaction during dry windows reduce post-installation settlement risk.
Repeated saltwater inundation accelerates erosion and can wash fine fill soils away, especially on low-lying or unvegetated slopes, reducing long-term stability. Salt also affects vegetation establishment and can increase corrosion risk for buried metal, so use more erosion-resistant materials (coarse rock, stabilized fill) at tidal edges and add erosion control measures like riprap, vegetation, or geotextiles. Expect more maintenance and consider protective design if the site floods regularly.
Alternatives include clean structural fill (engineered and compacted), crushed stone or coarse rock bases, and sand or sand/gravel mixes for better drainage. Choose crushed stone when you need firm support and drainage (driveways, pads), engineered fill for structural or septic support, and sand mixes where permeability and tidal exchange are important. Local contractors often prefer these alternatives near tidal zones to reduce erosion and settlement risks compared with loose organic fill dirt.
Many local contractors on and near Cedar Island offer spreading and compaction services but expect higher labor and mobilization costs for island jobs or sites with tight access. Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion when safe, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed services and should be coordinated with a local contractor. When ordering, request spreading in Order Notes and contact Hello Gravel to help coordinate delivery timing with your contractor or barge operator.

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.
