Why chinquapin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
chinquapin is a small but active community with a city population of 1,820 and ties to a larger regional market of 2.3+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually and a moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and plant hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners are investing in property upgrades, drainage improvements, and outdoor living spaces. That steady development and the mix of sun and rain increases demand for reliable aggregates: materials that compact well, promote proper drainage, and reduce settling over time.

Frequently Asked Questions - chinquapin Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in chinquapin.
Fill dirt is subsoil screened of most organic material and debris, used to raise or level ground and backfill around foundations. In Chinquapin, use it to build up low spots, grade yards away from houses, or backfill trenches, but not as a finished surface for driveways or planting beds.
Prices vary by supplier, moisture, and haul distance, but delivered fill dirt in the Chinquapin area commonly ranges from about $15 to $35 per cubic yard (roughly $18 to $45 per ton depending on density). Ask Hello Gravel for a local quote—we show exact delivered pricing and minimum orders by zip code.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch you need about 3.1 cubic yards, by 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards, and by 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards. Using a common density range for fill dirt (1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard), that equals roughly 3.7–4.6 tons for 1 inch, 11–14 tons for 3 inches, and 22–28 tons for 6 inches.
Yes, some settling is normal after placement, especially in wetter months. Allow for 5-15% settlement depending on placement depth, moisture, and whether material is compacted; plan to add a small top-up layer and regrade after the first rainy season.
Chinquapin's winters and heavy rains can cause saturated fill dirt to soften, erode, or heave in freeze-thaw cycles if not properly graded and drained. Good surface slope, compacted lifts, erosion controls, and directing runoff away from fills reduce problems.
Local contractors typically compact fill dirt in lifts to increase stability; for structural work they aim for about 90% of standard Proctor density or follow engineered specifications. For driveways, fill dirt alone is not a suitable finished base—contractors commonly install a compacted engineered base or crushed stone on top of compacted fill.
No. Fill dirt is intended for grading and backfill, not as a wearing surface. For driveways in Chinquapin, use compacted engineered base or crushed stone over the fill, then a finished surface such as gravel or pavement.
Fill dirt is best for raising grade and backfill because it has low organic matter and compacts well. Crushed stone provides drainage and a stable wearing surface for driveways, topsoil supports plant growth, and engineered base is specified for load-bearing areas; choose fill dirt for volume and grade, and top with the appropriate base for the final use.
Small yard grading often does not require a permit, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or work near setbacks and septic systems can trigger county permits or HOA restrictions. Check local county planning or your HOA before starting, and note that Hello Gravel can help coordinate deliveries once you have approvals.
Common extra costs include delivery distance fees, dump location restrictions, spreading and compaction labor, permits, erosion control materials, and rental equipment like compactors or skid steers. Hello Gravel lists delivery options and minimum orders; request an itemized quote so you can budget for hauling and onsite labor.
Yes. Local suppliers and haulers in the West North Carolina region typically work with subcontractors who provide tailgate spreading, skid steers, plate compactors, or larger rollers, though spreading is performed at the driver's discretion. If you need spreading or compaction, request it at checkout and confirm local contractor availability through Hello Gravel before delivery.
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.
