Frequently Asked Questions - Colerain Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Colerain.
Fill dirt is undisturbed or brought-in soil used to raise ground elevation, fill holes, or backfill foundations. In Colerain, NC it is commonly used for yard leveling, building pads, grading around foundations, and filling utility trenches. It is not typically a finished surface material for driveways or patios; you should cap it with road base or topsoil and gravel when needed.
Delivered prices vary by supplier, distance, and whether the material is clean or mixed, but homeowners in the Colerain area typically see ranges around $10 to $30 per ton. Exact pricing depends on local avaIlability and haul distance, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote for a firm delivered price. Remember to factor in delivery minimums and any added fees for long drives or next-day service.
Hello Gravel generally has a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead time can increase for remote addresses or very large orders, so enter your Colerain zip code at checkout or contact our team for an estimated delivery window.
For general yard-raising and backfill in Colerain, choose compactable fill dirt with a mix of fines (silt and clay) that compact well and hold shape. Clean 'structural' fill (minimal organics) is best under buildings, pads, or septic fields; mixed or loose fill is acceptable for non-structural yard grading but may settle more. If you plan landscaping or lawns on top, add 4-6 inches of topsoil or a soil blend for planting.
No—fill dirt should not be used as the finished surface for driveways or patios because it does not drain or compact like road base. For driveways in Colerain, use fill dirt only to build up the subgrade, then install several inches of crusher run or road base and a surface layer of 3/4" gravel or asphalt. For patios, use compacted fill as a subgrade and top with a stable base (crusher run) and a pRoper surfacing material.
Colerain experiences moderate to heavy rainfall and occasional freeze-thaw cycles which can increase settling and erosion if fill dirt is not compacted and drained pRoperly. Good slope, surface and subsurface drainage, and staged compaction help prevent wAshout and long-term settling. Avoid placing fill on wet or saturated ground, and plan erosion control for slopes during rainy seasons.
Raising 1,000 square feet by 4 inches requires about 12.4 cubic yards of material (1000 x 4/12 ÷ 27). Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so that equals roughly 15 to 19 tons. Order 10-20% extra to account for compaction and grading loss, so plan to purchase about 17 to 23 tons in most cases.
Local contractors recommend placing fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compacting each lift with a plate compactor or roller until firm. Moisture-conditioning the soil helps achieve better compaction; too wet or too dry material will not compact pRoperly. For critical areas (foundations, septic beds, driveways) consider hiring a pro and ask for compaction testing to meet local building requirements.
Permit needs vary by project type and location; small yard grading generally does not need a permit but septic installations, major regrading, or changes to drainage usually do. Contact the Colerain town office or your county building and health departments before Starting septic or large grading work to confirm local rules and setback requirements. When in doubt, get a permit check to avoid costly rework or fines.
Homeowners can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers who deliver clean or mixed fill material.

Use our online calculator to estimate amounts and contact our team if you need help selecting clean versus mixed fill for your project.
