Why Ellenboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ellenboro is a community of 6,140 residents located inside a West North Carolina metro area of 2.3+ million people that is growing at 2.80% annually. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year with 34.00 inches of rainfall and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b, which supports year‑round outdoor projects and steady residential development. That steady growth and moderate climate drive demand for basic aggregates—homeowners need reliable materials to level yards, raise low spots, backfill foundations, and prepare bases for patios, driveways, and landscaping features. Quality, locally sourced fill materials help prevent erosion, reduce settling, and create uniform grades that stand up to the region’s seasonal rain and temperature range.Popular Projects in Ellenboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ellenboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ellenboro.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in the Ellenboro area vary by supplier, quantity, and site access. Expect a wide range; many residential deliveries fall between about $10 and $30 per ton delivered, but prices can be higher for small orders or difficult drop locations. The best way to get an accurate price is to check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local aggregate suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that serve Ellenboro and the surrounding West North Carolina area. Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed; request spreading in the order notes and confirm with customer service for rate or avaIlability. For full spreading and grading, contractors or equipment rental may be recommended.
Fill dirt is mostly fine-grained soil with minimal rock and aggregate; it is intended to fill voids and raise grades rather than provide structural drainage. For driveway bases you generally want an aggregate base (crushed stone) rather than straight fill dirt because North Carolina's clay/loam can hold water and compress. Use fill dirt for raising low spots and rough grading, then top with compactable base material for driveways and high-traffic areas.
Use volume math: length × width × depth (in feet) divided by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 to 1.5 to convert to tons depending on moisture and compaction. Examples: a 10 ft by 50 ft driveway area filled 6 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11 to 14 tons). A 4 ft by 8 ft raised bed filled 12 inches needs about 1.2 cubic yards (about 1.5 to 2 tons).
For structural areas such as under slabs, foundations, or driveways, aim for high compaction—commonly 90% to 95% of the standard Proctor value—so the fill will not settle later. For general yard fill and landscaping, 85% to 90% relative compaction is usually acceptable with pRoper layering and moisture control. Local contractors or soil testers can provide specific targets for engineered projects.
Possibly. Small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but larger grading projects, changes to drainage, or deliveries that alter lot contours may be subject to Burke County and municipal rules or HOA covenants. Check with Burke County planning and your HOA before major grading or when moving large volumes of dirt to confirm local permit and erosion control requirements.
Avoid heavy rain periods and overly wet ground—spring and late fall in western North Carolina can be wet, which makes compaction harder and increases erosion risk. Summer and early fall often offer better drying conditions for pRoper compaction, while winter freeze/thaw cycles can cause temporary instability if work is done during freezing weather. Plan deliveries around dry weather windows and use erosion controls on exposed slopes.
Fill dirt used only as fill or rough grade may settle over time if not pRoperly compacted and drained; poorly prepared fill can need regrading within a few years. When pRoperly placed, compacted, and covered with appropriate base material or turf, fill can last many years without major maintenance. Regular inspection and addressing drainage promptly extend longevity in Ellenboro's humid, temperate climate.
For driveways and areas that require load-bearing capacity and drainage, crushed stone or an aggregate base is a better choice than plain fill dirt because it compacts well and sheds water. Fill dirt is useful for raising grades, filling low spots, and non-structural yard work. For drainage trenches or to prevent water pooling, use coarse material like gravel and ensure pRoper slope and outlets.
DIY spreading can save money on labor, but it requires time, tools, and skill to achieve good compaction and grading. Tailgate spreading by drivers is sometimes avaIlable at their discretion and can help with light spreading, but it's not guaranteed and may not replace pRoper grading equipment or compaction work. For small jobs consider DIY; for larger or grade-critical jobs, budget for professional spreading and compaction or equipment rental.
Use a combination of pRoper benching (placing level terraces), compacting each lift in thin layers, installing geotextile or erosion-control fabric where needed, and providing surface cover like seed, mulch, or erosion control blankets. For steeper slopes consider retaining walls, rock terraces, or vegetation with deep roots to reduce surface runoff. Always direct runoff to stable outlets and follow local erosion control best practices.

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.
