Why Elon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elon has a population of 10,320 and sits in a region seeing steady development, with a 2.80% annual growth rate and a larger metro area of 2.3+ million residents. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rain annually, and hardiness zone 8b—supports active landscaping and new construction but also demands smart site preparation. Homeowners here turn to quality aggregates to manage drainage, correct low spots, and create stable foundations for patios, driveways, and raised garden beds. Because soil conditions and seasonal rainfall can vary, choosing the right fill material helps avoid future settling, erosion, and soggy lawns that are common complaints after heavy rain events.Popular Projects in Elon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Elon.
Prices for fill dirt in Elon typically vary by supplier and quantity, but expect material costs in the range of $10 to $30 per ton, plus delivery. Hello Gravel often offers free or low-cost delivery in many areas; check your zip code at checkout and note our 3-ton minimum. Final price depends on distance, required truck type, and any spreading services you request.
Yes—Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers serving Elon and Alamance County, so materials are regionally sourced and reflect local geology. Availability can change seasonally, so enter your zip code or contact our team to confirm timing and specific supplier options for your project.
Use a clean, low-organic 'structural' fill dirt for driveways and grade raises; it compacts well and minimizes future settling. For driveways, place compacted fill dirt as the subgrade and top with 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone or gravel for durability and drainage. For lawn or garden areas where plants will grow, consider a thin layer of topsoil over the compacted fill to support vegetation.
Calculate cubic yards first: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards. As a rule of thumb for fill dirt in Elon, use about 1.3 tons per cubic yard (varies with moisture and compaction). Example: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches: 1,000 x 0.25 ÷ 27 = 9.26 yd3, which is roughly 12 tons (9.26 x 1.3). Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Central North Carolina experiences mild freeze-thaw but heavy rains are more impactful; uncompacted or organic-rich fill dirt can settle, wash away, or develop ruts after storms. Proper installation—placing fill in layers (4 to 6 inches), compacting each lift, and providing surface drainage or vegetation—greatly reduces erosion and settling risks in Elon.
Delivery with Hello Gravel is handled by dump trucks; optional tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion but not guaranteed. For professional spreading and compaction, expect local equipment/operator costs roughly $200 to $500 per day for a skid steer or small excavator plus $50 to $100 per hour for an operator, though rates vary—get local quotes for accurate budgeting.
Choose fill dirt to raise grade, build up subgrades, or fill large voids where plant growth is not required because it compacts well and is lower cost. Use crushed stone when you need a stable, well-draining surface such as a driveway base. Use topsoil when the goal is planting, lawn establishment, or garden beds; you can combine them—fill dirt for bulk grade work and topsoil on the surface for landscaping.
For small residential fills you usually do not need a permit, but significant grading, changes to drainage, work near streams, or anything affecting stormwater may require county permits or approvals. Check Alamance County Building Inspections, the town of Elon ordinances, and any HOA rules before ordering large amounts; when in doubt, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.
Some natural settlement is normal, especially if fill contains organic material or was placed in large lifts; properly compacted structural fill placed in 4 to 6 inch lifts typically minimizes long-term settlement. To prevent low spots, compact each lift, provide surface drainage, and allow for a slight overbuild (an extra 1/2 to 1 inch) where precision matters before final grading and seeding.
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.
