Why Franklinton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Franklinton is a growing community of 17,450 residents experiencing steady expansion at a 2.80% annual growth rate. With a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall, and listed in hardiness zone 8b, local yards and building sites face both wet-season runoff and periods of strong sun that affect soil stability. As new homes, driveways, and landscaping projects keep pace with development, homeowners increasingly need reliable bulk materials to level grades, backfill foundations, and prepare bases for patios and lawn restorations. Quality fill dirt helps prevent uneven settling, supports proper drainage, and reduces the chance of erosion—important considerations for Franklinton properties that see both steady rain and extended sunny spells. Fill Dirt is an economical, compactable soil used to raise grades, fill depressions, and support structural backfill. In Franklinton’s environment—with 34.00 inches of annual rain and frequent sunny periods—properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps control runoff and creates a stable base for landscaping and hardscape projects. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump truck haulers to deliver regionally sourced fill dirt on a schedule that fits your project. We provide transparent pricing, a minimum order starting at 3 tons, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day options for orders placed before noon CST, so you can get the right material when you need it without the hassle.Popular Projects in Franklinton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Franklinton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Franklinton.
Fill dirt is inexpensive, locally sourced soil used to raise grade, fill holes, or backfill around foundations in Franklinton. It typically has more clay and fines than topsoil and is not intended for planting. Because regional geology affects composition, Franklinton fill dirt often contains clay that compacts well but needs proper drainage to perform in our local climate.
Delivered prices vary by supplier, material quality, and haul distance, but expect approximately $10 to $20 per ton in the Franklinton area. Minimum order sizes and delivery fees can change the effective price, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote for an exact delivered price. Local sourcing and moisture content can also shift price within that range.
Hello Gravel generally has a 3-ton minimum order and uses tri-axle dump trucks for most deliveries in the region. Tri-axles commonly carry about 10 to 12 tons of material; larger jobs can be scheduled as multiple loads. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout, but the driver will decide on-site if it is safe—no spreading guarantees are provided.
Local contractors typically place fill dirt in 4- to 8-inch lifts, compacting each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller to achieve stable results in Franklinton's clay-rich soils. Moisture conditioning (slightly damp, not saturated) helps achieve proper compaction. For deeper fills or structural needs, contractors often bring in engineered structural fill and perform compaction tests to meet project specs.
In Franklin County, freeze-thaw cycles are mild but can cause heaving if fill is poorly compacted or has high organic content. Heavy rainfall in the area can lead to erosion or settling if fill lacks proper drainage or erosion control. To minimize issues, compact in lifts, install slopes or drainage, and avoid using fill dirt with high organic content where standing water is possible.
Estimate volume by multiplying area by depth: for example, a 12 ft by 30 ft driveway raised 6 inches needs 360 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 180 cubic feet (about 6.7 cubic yards). Fill dirt generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction, so that driveway would need roughly 8 to 10 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a precise estimate.
Permit needs depend on the scope of work and local regulations; small residential fill jobs often do not require a permit, but large fills, grading changes, or fills near wetlands and streams may. Check with Franklin County Planning and Inspections and your town zoning office before importing large volumes, and consider erosion and sediment control requirements for construction sites. If in doubt, our team recommends contacting the county to confirm permit and erosion-control rules before ordering.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grade and backfilling but is not the best final base for a driveway in Franklinton's rainy conditions. Crusher run or crushed stone provides drainage and structural support and is typically recommended as a driveway base; structural fill is engineered and compacted to meet load-bearing needs. For a long-lasting driveway, contractors usually use fill dirt to shape grade and then add crusher run or crushed stone as the structural base.
Availability varies by supplier; some local producers offer screened or clean fill dirt with fewer rocks and root material, while others supply general fill that includes fines and small debris. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material mix reflects local geology—add a note in your order if you prefer screened material and request photos when possible. If you need a certified clean fill for sensitive applications, ask our team so we can match you with an appropriate supplier.
Fill dirt used alone as a driveway base will settle and may rut over time, especially after heavy rain; homeowners often need to regrade or add material every 1 to 3 years. For better longevity, compact properly, provide drainage, and cover the base with crusher run or gravel as a wearing surface. Regular grading, adding stone to low spots, and keeping drainage ditches clear will extend performance in Franklinton's climate.

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.
