Why garland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Garland has a city population of 2,560 and sits inside a growing region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million, experiencing a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—means yards and job sites cycle between wet periods and strong sun exposure. That mix drives steady demand for grading, foundation backfill, and yard renovations as homeowners and contractors work to control drainage, prevent settling, and prepare planting beds. Because local soils can vary, homeowners seek consistent, well-graded aggregates to create reliable subgrades for patios, driveways, and landscape terraces.Popular Projects in garland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - garland Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in garland.
Fill dirt is native soil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains fines and some clay but should be mostly free of large organic debris. In Garland, fill dirt is ideal for raising yard grades, backfilling around foundations, and building low garden berms, but it is not a good finished surface for driveways or patios without a rock base on top.
To estimate, use cubic yards = (square feet x inches of rise) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to get tons (density varies). For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards or roughly 11 to 12 tons; always order extra for compaction and settling.
Prices vary by supplier and availability, but in West North Carolina fill dirt commonly runs about $10 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $12 to $36 per ton using a 1.2 conversion). Delivery and minimum order rules affect final price; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in parts of the area, while remote deliveries in the Garland area might include a modest delivery fee.
Delivery costs depend on distance, load size, and site access; many customers in the region get free delivery, while others pay a delivery fee typically in the $0 to $150 range for local hauls. You can check exact delivery pricing by entering your Garland zip code on Hello Gravel and selecting delivery options at checkout.
For structural bases like driveways or shed pads, contractors usually prefer a clean, compactable structural or select fill combined with crushed stone for the finished base; pure fill dirt alone is not a recommended wearing surface. For general landscaping or raising grade in yards around Garland, screened fill dirt free of roots and large debris is appropriate.
In West North Carolina's clay-prone areas, fill dirt can retain moisture and settle more, especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles, which may cause temporary soft spots. Proper compaction, good drainage (swales, French drains), and using coarser structural fill or rock where load-bearing support is needed will reduce problems related to local conditions.
Most local contractors in the Garland area choose crushed stone or aggregate for driveway bases because it drains and locks together when compacted, reducing rutting and freeze-thaw damage. Fill dirt is used for bulk raising and non-structural backfill but is not recommended as the primary base for driveways.
Large deliveries, major grading, or projects that alter drainage may require permits or adherence to Alamance County/municipal erosion and stormwater rules; small yard fills typically do not, but local rules and HOA restrictions can vary. Check with the Garland town office or Alamance County planning/building department before starting large fills, and plan to use erosion control (silt fences, straw) during rainy seasons.
Compact fill in lifts of 6 to 8 inches with at least 95% of standard compaction for structural uses; for small yards use a heavy plate compactor or gas-powered walk-behind tamper, and for larger areas use a vibratory roller or ride-on compactor. Always compact each lift and check moisture—too dry or too wet material won't compact properly—especially important in West NC's variable weather.
Expect some settlement during the first year; low spots may form after seasonal rains and will likely need a light top-up of soil or fresh fill dirt. For driveways or pads where fill dirt was used below the surface, monitor drainage and topping material; properly compacted and drained installations will need less frequent maintenance.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers that deliver to Garland—enter your zip code to see availability and pricing. When ordering, ask for 'screened' or 'select' fill dirt if you need fewer rocks and organics, confirm delivery method and placement location, and note any site access issues so drivers can plan the drop.

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.
