Why Franklinville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Franklinville, with a city population of 3,720, sits in a growing West North Carolina region that is expanding at about 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and building sites face a mix of sun-driven drying and periodic wet spells. That combination drives steady demand for basic site work: grading low spots, building up driveways, and prepping foundation backfill. Homeowners and small contractors in Franklinville choose quality aggregates because proper subgrade materials reduce settling, control erosion during rainy periods, and create a stable base for landscaping, patios, and structures. Clear material specs and accurate quantities help avoid costly rework and drainage headaches in this climate. Fill dirt is a no-frills, subsoil-focused material made mainly of mineral fines with minimal organic content—ideal for raising grades, filling holes, and rebuilding compacted subgrades in Franklinville’s mixed sun-and-rain environment. With 34.00 inches of rain annually, using clean, well-graded fill dirt and compacting in layers improves drainage and lowers long-term settlement. For planting beds you’ll still want topsoil on top, but fill dirt is the economical choice for bulk volume work. Hello Gravel connects Franklinville homeowners to local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offers transparent pricing, and schedules delivery windows so you get the right fill dirt, in the right amount, when you need it—keeping projects on track without surprise trips to the quarry.Popular Projects in Franklinville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Franklinville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Franklinville.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Franklinville typically vary by supplier, truck distance, and material quality. Expect a rough range of about $12 to $30 per ton (approximately $14 to $36 per cubic yard) delivered, though exact quotes can be higher or lower depending on local haul fees and minimums.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers that serve Franklinville; exact vendors vary by zip code and availability. Common minimums in the region start at our platform minimum of 3 tons, with some suppliers setting larger minimums for long hauls; delivery fees depend on distance, truck access, and any required permits. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or call our team to see specific suppliers, their minimums, and any delivery charges for your address.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft; 500/27 = 18.52 cu yd). In tons that is roughly 22 to 30 tons depending on local soil density and compaction (use 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard as a guide). Order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and settlement, so plan to purchase about 19.5 to 20.5 cubic yards (about 24 to 33 tons) for the project.
Fill dirt is useful for raising grade and as structural subfill, but it is not ideal as the finished surface for driveways in Franklinville’s clay-rich, rainy climate. Clay-heavy fill can hold water and rut, so use well-compacted fill dirt as the subgrade and finish driveways with a granular base like crushed stone for drainage and durability. For small grading projects, fill dirt works well if you address drainage, slope stabilization, and proper compaction.
Fill dirt provides mass and stability but drains poorly compared with crushed stone; it also does not hold vegetation like topsoil. For slope erosion control in Franklinville’s rainy environment, crushed stone or a combination of stone with geotextile and terracing offers better immediate drainage and erosion resistance, while topsoil is needed only where you plan to grow plants. Often the best solution is layered: compacted fill for volume, a granular drainage layer, and topsoil where planting is required.
Place fill dirt in lifts no thicker than 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift with a vibrating plate compactor or roller to achieve uniform density. Control moisture during placement—material should be slightly damp but not muddy—to improve compaction and reduce future settlement. For structural or near-foundation work, have a compaction tester (proctor or nuclear gauge) verify required densities and follow local building requirements.
Regulations vary: small backyard leveling often requires no permit, but substantial grading, altering drainage, or changing driveway grades can trigger Randolph County or Franklinville town permits and stormwater rules. HOAs, if present, may have rules on visible materials, finished surfaces, and changes to yard grade—check your HOA guidelines before ordering. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local town/county planning department to confirm permit needs.
Most settlement from loose fill dirt happens within the first 6 to 12 months after placement, especially through one or two wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles. If properly placed in lifts and well compacted, fill dirt can remain stable for many years, but surface erosion or minor settling may require spot replenishment after heavy rains. Plan for an initial inspection and possible top-up within a year, particularly on slopes and areas with poor drainage.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks or larger; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Make sure you have a clear drop zone, a firm surface for the truck to stand on, and space for truck turning; narrow drives or low-hanging wires can add fees or require smaller trucks. For spreading and compaction, plan to rent a skid steer or wheelbarrows for distribution and a plate compactor or roller for compaction.
Fill dirt is usually the most economical option for bulk raising and general backfill and works well if compacted properly, but it drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Crushed stone or gravel is more expensive but superior for driveway bases and areas where drainage and load-bearing are important. Topsoil is not a substitute for structural fill—use it only where you want to grow plants—and sand can be good for leveling but may shift under load; choose materials based on function: fill dirt for volume, crushed stone for drainage and base stability, topsoil for planting.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
