Why Cove City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cove City has a population of 2,140 and sits inside a growing West North Carolina region that is expanding at about 2.80% annually. With roughly 228 sunny days per year and an average of 34.00 inches of rain, homeowners here balance outdoor living with the need to manage occasional heavy showers and wet periods. That combination—steady growth, active construction, and a temperate climate in hardiness zone 8b—drives demand for dependable earthwork materials. Homeowners and small contractors often need materials to raise grades, stabilize foundations, fill low spots, and prepare sites for patios, driveways, and garden beds. Quality aggregates matter because poorly selected soil can settle, shift, or promote poor drainage, so local projects benefit from material that matches Cove City’s soils and weather patterns. Fill Dirt is a practical choice for many Cove City projects because it is usually low in organic matter, compacts well, and can be layered to reduce future settling in a climate that averages 34.00 inches of rain annually and 228 sunny days per year. For raising grades, backfilling foundations, or building level pads for sheds and patios, properly selected fill dirt helps manage surface runoff and provides a stable base before topsoil or gravel is added. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced fill dirt delivered on a schedule that fits your project; our online ordering, material guidance, and coordinated delivery options simplify sourcing the right amount and type for Cove City jobs.Popular Projects in Cove City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cove City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cove City.
Fill dirt is native or quarried soil used to raise or level ground; it is mostly fines (sand, silt, clay) with little organic matter. Gravel is made of crushed rock or rounded stones and is used for drainage and structural support. In Cove City, local fill dirt may be heavier in clay depending on nearby geology, so it is best for grading and backfill rather than finished surfaces.
Fill dirt is not a good finished surface for driveways because it compacts unevenly and can rut in wet weather. You can use fill dirt to build up the base or correct grade, but place and compact a structural base (crushed stone or gravel) and a proper surface layer on top. For Cove City’s clay-prone soils, ensure good drainage before surfacing to reduce settling.
Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Cove City and surrounding West North Carolina counties — check your zip code on our site to see availability. You can also contact local landscaping yards, nurseries, or municipal public works, but expect a minimum order size (our marketplace often starts at 3 tons). Delivery via dump truck is typical, and Hello Gravel shows pricing and delivery windows up front.
Prices vary with source, volume, and delivery distance, but a rough range for fill dirt in this region is about $10 to $30 per cubic yard. A standard tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, so material cost alone can be about $100 to $360, plus delivery fees. Use Hello Gravel’s quote tool for an exact price for your address since regional sourcing and minimum orders affect final cost.
Calculate area (square feet) times desired depth (feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet). For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches: 1,000 x (2/12) = 166.7 cubic feet or about 6.2 cubic yards. Add 10% to 20% for compaction and grading losses, and use Hello Gravel’s calculator for a quick estimate.
Fill dirt is delivered by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and drivers will drop material where there is safe access and room to spread. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day available in some areas for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout; drivers will assess whether it can be done safely on arrival but there are no guarantees.
Fill dirt usually lacks organic matter and nutrients, so it is not ideal as a planting medium for lawns, gardens, or beds. In Cove City’s local soils, it may also be dense or clayey, which can impede drainage and root growth; plan to add topsoil or amend with compost for planting areas. Use fill dirt for structural grading and then cap it with 4 to 8 inches of quality topsoil where you will plant.
Local rules vary: adding significant volumes of fill can affect stormwater, setbacks, and floodplain status, so you should check Cove City and Craven County regulations before ordering large loads. For projects near creeks or in low areas, consult the local planning or building department to see if a permit or erosion control measures are required. Hello Gravel can deliver the material, but permit compliance is the customer’s responsibility.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, debris, and low-hanging branches and mark utilities so trucks have a clear path and safe unloading area. Measure access width and overhead clearance for a tri-axle truck, flag the intended drop spot, and notify neighbors if the truck will block the street. If compaction is needed after delivery, plan for a plate compactor or roller and for proper grading to direct water away from structures.
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.
