Why Elkin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elkin's city population is 8,360 and the area is experiencing steady expansion with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor projects while still requiring attention to stormwater and erosion. As neighborhoods grow and homeowners tackle driveway repairs, yard regrading, and foundation prep, demand for dependable bulk materials rises. Homeowners and contractors in Elkin look for materials that compact predictably, resist settling, and create stable base layers; that is why quality fill dirt is frequently specified. Because regional soils vary, sourcing locally matched fill dirt helps ensure proper compaction and long-term performance for patios, pads, and grading work.Popular Projects in Elkin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elkin Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Elkin.
Typical delivered fill dirt costs in the Elkin area are approximate and depend on supplier, truck size, and site access. Expect roughly $18 to $40 per cubic yard, or about $180 to $480 for a common tri-axle load (10-12 cubic yards) as a general range. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote for your address and required quantity.
In Western North Carolina most common tri-axle dump trucks haul about 10 to 12 loose cubic yards of fill dirt. Smaller single-axle trucks carry less (6 to 8 cubic yards) and end-dumps or larger trucks may carry more, so confirm truck type when you get a quote.
Costs vary by depth, labor, and whether you need spreading and compaction. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft area filled to 4 inches needs about 2.5 cubic yards of fill dirt, which at $18–$40 per cubic yard would be about $45–$100 for material; spreading, compaction, grading, and edge work typically add $200–$800 depending on access and contractor rates. Get a site-specific quote through Hello Gravel to include delivery and any optional spreading charges.
For driveways in this region use fill dirt mainly for leveling and raising low spots; 3 to 6 inches of compacted fill dirt is typical before adding a compacted base layer and surface gravel. Depth directly controls volume: double the depth and you double the cubic yards needed, so calculate area × depth and convert to cubic yards, then add 10–20% for compaction and waste. If you need structural build-up (to correct poor subgrade or large drop), consider more depth and consult a contractor.
Yes. Hello Gravel works with a network of trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Elkin and nearby towns (for example Jonesville, Dobson, and North Wilkesboro). Enter your zip code on our site or call the team and we will match you with suppliers that deliver fill dirt, topsoil, and aggregate to your property.
Common constraints include narrow driveways or roads, low-hanging wires or tree limbs, steep grades, tight turnarounds, and soft ground that can prevent a loaded truck from safely dumping. These issues can raise cost (specialized trucks, offloading by hand, or added labor) or require alternate drop points; provide photos and detailed delivery notes at checkout so your hauler can assess and include any special charges on your quote.
Standard Hello Gravel delivery is 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST (an additional fee may apply). Many local suppliers in Elkin can provide same-week delivery, especially in the non-winter months, but availability depends on truck schedules and weather, so book early for time-sensitive projects.
Possibly. Elkin and Surry County may have local ordinances about driveway changes, stormwater runoff, or work in public right-of-way, and many HOAs have rules on driveway materials and curb appeal. Check with the Town of Elkin Planning/Inspections office and your HOA before ordering large deliveries to avoid fines or rework.
Yes. Prices and availability often tighten in spring and early summer when landscaping and construction demand is high, and wet or icy winter conditions can slow deliveries. The most reliable time to order is late spring through early fall for best access and scheduling, but plan ahead in peak seasons and rainy periods.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, though suppliers and truck types can affect the actual minimum cubic yards delivered. Delivery fees are often included in our quoted price for many areas, but remote or constrained sites may have extra charges; site-prep (grading, tree/brush removal, compaction) is usually quoted separately and can range from roughly $100 to $600 depending on scope. We recommend getting a detailed quote that lists material, delivery, and any site-prep or spreading fees.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide the required depth in feet, then multiply length × width × depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area in square feet × depth in feet ÷ 27). Add 10–20% to the result to account for compaction and waste, and confirm the final amount with Hello Gravel if the site has uneven subgrade or needs extra leveling.
Fill dirt is usually subsoil with low organic content used for grading and raising elevations; it may include clay, sand, and small stones and will look different than topsoil. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color will reflect local geology in West North Carolina, so request photos or specify any preference in Order Notes and contact customer service with concerns after 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.
