Why Dover Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dover homeowners live in a compact community with a city population of 1,870, while the wider region supports growth—the metro area population of 2.3+ million is expanding at an annual growth rate of 2.80%—and that expansion is driving more residential grading, new landscaping, and small construction projects. Dover's climate, with 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, encourages outdoor improvements but also means materials must manage both sun and periodic heavy rain. Homeowners increasingly look for dependable aggregates to build grade, improve drainage, and create stable bases for driveways and sheds; Fill Dirt is commonly chosen because it compacts well and forms a sturdy subgrade before topsoil or surfacing is added.Popular Projects in Dover This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dover Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dover.
Delivered fill dirt prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and order size, but customers in West North Carolina commonly see delivered ranges rather than a single fixed price. Expect suppliers to price by the ton or cubic yard, and Hello Gravel requires a minimum 3-ton order—use our quote tool or check your zip code for an exact delivered price for Dover.
For Dover's clay-prone soils, use compactable, low-organic fill dirt as a structural base and add a 4-6 inch layer of crushed stone or crusher run on top for drainage and load-bearing. Pure fill dirt alone can hold weight when well-compacted, but combining it with a granular base reduces rutting and improves drainage in rainy, hilly terrain.
A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft = 400 sq ft) raised 4 inches requires roughly 5 cubic yards of material, which converts to about 5 to 6.5 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. For accuracy, measure your driveway area and use our material calculator or request a site-specific quote through Hello Gravel.
Fill dirt compacts well and provides a stable subgrade, but native clay-rich fill can drain slowly in West North Carolina's wet climate. To avoid water issues on slopes or in heavy rain, specify a mixture with coarser material or add a drainage layer (crushed stone) and pRoper grading; contractors often install geotextile fabric on steep sites to reduce movement.
Most noticeable settling happens in the first few months after placement, with smaller adjustments possible through the first year as moisture and freeze-thaw cycles act on the material. Using lifts (placing and compacting material in 6-8 inch layers) and pRoper compaction at installation reduces long-term settling and lowers the chance of frequent top-ups.
Fill dirt is best for raising grade and providing structural fill because it has few organics and compacts well, but it is not suitable for planting. Crushed stone provides superior drainage and a stable surface for driveways, while topsoil is needed as a planting medium and for permanent turf restoration—common practice is fill dirt as the base, topped with topsoil where plants will grow and crushed stone where drainage and load-bearing are required.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that commonly have minimums and delivery constraints; our platform's minimum order is 3 tons, and local vendors may enforce different minimum quantities or access requirements. Delivery restrictions in Dover can include narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, cul-de-sacs, and street permits—include site details at checkout so we can confirm feasibility with your supplier.
Many local contractors in Dover do offer spreading and compaction, often charging by the hour, by the truckload, or by the square foot depending on job complexity. Typical small-job rates might range from roughly $50-$150 per hour or $0.50-$3.00 per square foot including compaction, but exact pricing varies—contact local contractors for written estimates or ask our team for local service recommendations.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles and obstacles, mark any underground utilities, and provide clear access for a dump truck—measure gate widths and overhead clearance ahead of time. Also note drainage patterns and final grade to the driver in the Order Notes; if you need spreading or compaction, request it at checkout but remember drivers perform those services at their discretion.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
