Why Elizabethtown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elizabethtown has a population of 7,930 and is part of a growing regional market—the broader metro area has a population of 2.3+ million and is expanding at about 2.80% annually. That steady growth is driving more home improvement and small construction projects, from driveway regrades to foundation backfill and yard leveling. The local climate—with an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—means soils here experience cycles of wet and dry that can cause settling and erosion if underlying material is poor. Homeowners in Elizabethtown want fill materials that compact predictably, control drainage, and minimize future maintenance, so clear specs and consistent supply matter as much as cost when ordering aggregate for property work.Popular Projects in Elizabethtown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elizabethtown Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Elizabethtown.
Prices vary by supplier, truck size, and distance; Hello Gravel shows local pricing after you enter your zip code. Expect quotes by ton or by cubic yard, with a 3-ton minimum for most deliveries; use our calculator or request a quote for an exact delivery price to Elizabethtown (Bladen County).
For general yard filling and grading in Elizabethtown's coastal plain, screened or sandy fill is usually best because it drains better and compacts more predictably. Clay-rich fill can hold water and shrink/swell with seasonal moisture, so avoid it under driveways or structures unless engineered and well-drained. Screened fill is a good all-around choice when you need a clean, workable material.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11–13 tons depending on compaction). For 6 inches double that amount and always order 5–10% extra to account for settling and grading.
Elizabethtown is in North Carolina's coastal plain where rain and humid conditions are common, so drainage matters. Fill dirt that retains water (clay) can soften and settle more after heavy rains; choose well-draining screened or sandy fill and slope the site to shed water to avoid long-term sogginess. Consider installing a subdrain or gravel layer under high-traffic areas for added stability.
Expect the most settlement during the first 6–12 months; check and regrade low spots after major rains and the first winter. For patios and sheds, properly compacted screened fill can be stable for many years; for driveways, fill dirt alone is not ideal—plan to cap with crushed stone and compact for longer life. Routine checks and topping up low areas every few years are common, depending on use and drainage.
Compacted fill dirt is less expensive per cubic yard but generally offers lower load-bearing capacity and poorer drainage than crushed stone or bankrun gravel. Crushed stone creates a structurally stable, draining base that lasts longer for driveways; fill dirt is better for grading and raising elevations rather than serving as the final structural layer. For driveways in Elizabethtown's rainfall-prone climate, we recommend a crushed-stone base over fill dirt for durability.
Yes, many contractors and landscapers in the Elizabethtown/Bladen County area provide compaction and grading services and can help meet local site requirements. If your project is tied to a building permit, check Bladen County Planning and Zoning for specific compaction or engineering requirements and hire a contractor who can provide compaction reports if needed. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers; ask if your quoted supplier or hauler offers placement or compaction referrals.
Most regional suppliers serving Elizabethtown offer screened or blended fill dirt options; availability depends on local geology and the supplier's inventory. Delivery is provided by local dump truck fleets through Hello Gravel; tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Add delivery instructions and product preferences in Order Notes so suppliers can confirm availability and any spreading options.
Compacted fill dirt commonly weighs about 2,400–2,700 pounds per cubic yard (roughly 1.2–1.35 tons per cubic yard), but loose fill is lighter. Truck payloads and ton pricing vary by supplier, so for delivery estimates use cubic yards converted with your assumed compaction factor and confirm weight with your supplier when accuracy is required for hauling or permit purposes. Hello Gravel's calculator can convert between cubic yards and tons using local material estimates.
Large fills, work near wetlands, or projects that change drainage patterns may require permits or approvals from Bladen County or state agencies. Before ordering large volumes, check Bladen County Planning and Zoning and, if applicable, N.C. Department of Environmental Quality rules for wetlands and stormwater. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or a local contractor to confirm whether your project needs permits 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.
