Why Coats Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Coats homeowners know their town is small but growing — Coats has a population of 5,660 and is part of a larger West North Carolina region that includes a metro area of 2.3+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local construction and yard projects are on the rise. The climate is moderate (hardiness zone 8b) with 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually, so residents plan projects that balance sun exposure and intermittent wet periods. That combination drives demand for reliable materials that stabilize grades, support structures, and reduce erosion; homeowners often look for straightforward, robust options like fill dirt to create level building pads, raise beds, and backfill trenches. Fill dirt is a practical choice for Coats because it helps manage runoff and compaction in a climate with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sunny intervals. Properly placed and compacted fill dirt reduces settling and supports landscaping and small foundation work common in this growing market. Hello Gravel connects Coats homeowners with vetted local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, making it easy to order the right volume, choose delivery timing, and get materials that reflect local geology. We handle scheduling and logistics so you get consistent, regional fill dirt delivered to your site when you need it.Popular Projects in Coats This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Coats Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Coats.
Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and moisture, but in the West North Carolina region delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard (rough estimate). Per-ton pricing depends on material density, but a ballpark is $8 to $20 per ton. For an accurate, up-to-date price for Coats, request a quote through Hello Gravel (minimum order 3 tons) so local supplier and truck fees are included.
Local options include landscape supply yards, dirt pits, and suppliers we partner with through Hello Gravel that service Coats and nearby West NC towns. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; some local suppliers or haulers may require larger minimums for long-haul deliveries. Contact our team to see which local suppliers service your zip code and to confirm any supplier-specific minimums.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by a local conversion factor (a common rule of thumb for fill dirt is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction). If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or send your project area and desired raise depth to our team for a quick estimate.
Fill dirt can be used to build or raise grade, but it is not a suitable finished driving surface on its own—especially over clay. For driveways in Coats you should set grade with fill dirt if needed, then install a compacted crushed-stone base and a wearing surface (crusher run, 3/4" stone, or gravel). Proper subgrade preparation, compaction, and drainage are essential to prevent rutting on clay soils.
In the Coats area, heavy rain can cause settling and erosion of unconsolidated fill dirt, and freeze-thaw cycles can lead to heaving if the material holds water. Prevent issues by placing fill in controlled lifts, compacting properly, sloping for surface drainage, and using erosion control (silt fence, mulch, or seed). For slopes, consider mixing in granular material or using geotextile/drainage measures to reduce movement.
Screened fill dirt is mostly fines and mineral soil screened of large clods; it is useful for raising grade and backfilling but compacts differently and drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Crushed stone is angular, drains well, and locks together when compacted, making it the preferred choice for driveway bases. Use fill dirt to build height or level areas, but always finish driveways with a properly graded crushed-stone base and surface material.
Fill dirt with lots of fines is not ideal directly behind retaining walls because it holds water and increases lateral pressure. For wall backfill in hilly Coats sites, use free-draining granular backfill (pea gravel or 3/4" to 1-1/2" crushed stone) inside the drainage zone and a coarser drainage layer with perforated pipe at the base. If you must use fill dirt, place it further from the wall in compacted lifts, and always include a drainage layer immediately behind the wall.
Costs vary by scope, but expect labor and spreading to run roughly $25 to $75 per cubic yard for small residential jobs when hiring a crew, or contractor rates of about $50 to $100 per hour for equipment and operator time. Compaction equipment rental (plate compactors, small rollers) is commonly $50 to $200 per day; contractor fees to compact in lifts are included in hourly or per-yard pricing. Ask local contractors for written estimates that list spreading, grading, and compaction separately so you can compare.
Small landscape deliveries generally do not require permits, but large fills, changes to drainage, or work near streams and wetlands can trigger county or town permitting and erosion-control requirements. For Coats and Harnett County, check with the Town of Coats Planning/Permits office or Harnett County Building & Zoning before moving large volumes. When in doubt, contact our team and we can point you to the right local office and suggest practices to limit erosion and runoff.
If fill dirt is placed in properly compacted lifts and final grading is complete, you can add topsoil and seed or sod soon after installation. For large fills or loose placement, allow time for settlement—typically rechecking and minor regrading after 2 to 8 weeks before final topsoil and planting. For best results in Coats' rainy climate, finish with a 4-6" layer of quality topsoil, grade for drainage, then seed or sod according to seasonal planting windows.
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.
