Why fairbluff Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
fairbluff has a population of 1,000 and sits within a growing regional market—its wider metro area counts 2.3+ million residents and is expanding at about 2.80% annually. With a moderate climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here are balancing sunny, dry stretches with periodic wet seasons. That pattern drives steady demand for reliable aggregate deliveries to support yard grading, drainage fixes, driveway base work, and small construction pads. Homeowners want materials that compact well, resist erosion during heavy rains, and arrive on schedule—so quality, local sourcing, and dependable hauling matter for projects from basic lawn leveling to foundation backfill.Popular Projects in fairbluff This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - fairbluff Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in fairbluff.
Delivered fill dirt in the Fair Bluff area typically runs about $10 to $25 per cubic yard, or roughly $8 to $18 per ton, depending on local supplier, haul distance, and material quality. Rural deliveries and larger orders tend to be toward the lower end, while short loads, longer hauls, or specialty screened fill push prices higher.
Fair Bluff sits in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, so native soils are often sandy loam, silty clay, and areas with a high water table. This means fill dirt that contains fines can hold water and reduce drainage; for projects needing good drainage, consider mixing or layering with coarser material or installing a drainage system.
Most local suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks that haul 10 to 14 cubic yards (or about 10 to 15 tons) per load, and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option if you order before noon CST and pay the additional fee. Ask about exact truck size and placement needs when you schedule delivery.
Permitting rules vary by county and project type, but adding significant fill or changing site grades may require a permit from Columbus County or development review if you affect drainage or enter a FEMA floodplain. For driveway raises, building pads, or any work near wetlands, contact the county planning or zoning office before ordering material to confirm requirements.
For structural or support fill, place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift to a minimum of about 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density, depending on engineering requirements. Use a plate compactor for small areas and a vibratory roller for larger spreads, and adjust moisture toward the material's optimum—too dry or too wet will lower compaction efficiency.
Common alternatives include sandy fill (better drainage), crushed stone or gravel (excellent load-bearing and drainage), and engineered structural fill (tested and specified for civil work). Generally, plain fill dirt is the least expensive, sandy fill is slightly more, and crushed stone or engineered fill costs more per cubic yard due to processing and performance benefits.
Use silt fence and straw wattles during construction, seed and mulch exposed areas quickly, and consider erosion control blankets on moderate slopes. For steeper slopes or sites with concentrated runoff, add terraces, riprap at runoff points, geotextile reinforcement, or retaining walls to reduce erosion and protect the new fill.
Yes. Fall hurricane season (late summer to early fall) and late-winter/early-spring rains can saturate soils and make compaction difficult, so avoid major fills during prolonged wet periods. Freezes are rare but can affect scheduling; plan work for drier months and allow time for proper compaction after wet weather.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill dirt appearance and texture can vary by supplier and quarry location. If color or texture matters, note preferences in the order notes and contact customer service to discuss local options, but expect natural variation and no exact matches to photos.
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.
