Why Grantsboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Grantsboro (city population 1,750) sits within a growing regional market—part of a metro area of 2.3+ million—where steady development and a 2.80% annual growth rate is driving residential improvements and new construction. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance sun and periodic rain that influence soil moisture, erosion risk, and landscaping schedules. That combination increases demand for reliable aggregates for grading, driveway bases, and yard remediation. Homeowners look for quality materials to reduce future settling, improve drainage, and speed project timelines, especially when preparing sites for new patios, turf, or foundation backfill in Grantsboro’s mixed-weather environment.Popular Projects in Grantsboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Grantsboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Grantsboro.
Typical prices for basic fill dirt in West North Carolina (including Grantsboro) usually fall between $8 and $18 per ton, depending on quality, screening, and local availability. Prices can be higher for screened or engineered fill and lower for loose, unprocessed borrow material. Contact our checkout to see current local rates for your zip code.
Many orders in the Grantsboro area qualify for free delivery, but when a fee applies expect roughly $50 to $150 depending on distance, access, and truck type. Hello Gravel works with local haulers and will show any delivery charges at checkout before you confirm. For small orders near our minimum (3 tons) a delivery fee is more likely than for larger bulk loads.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27, then convert cubic yards to tons using an estimate of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical moist fill dirt. For example, to raise a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches (0.25 ft): (1,000 x 0.25)/27 ≈ 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 11 to 13 tons of fill dirt. If you expect wetter or denser material, use the higher conversion factor and always round up for compaction and settling.
For driveways you want a compactible, low-organic fill that has some clay or silty clay content to lock together when compacted; screened or 'select fill' is often best. However, fill dirt alone is not ideal as the final driving surface—usually a compacted fill base is topped with crushed stone or gravel for durability. If you have heavy loads, consider engineered structural fill or compacted crushed stone for the base.
Fill dirt can be used in Grantsboro's humid climate, but many fill soils hold moisture and can drain slowly, potentially causing soggy spots if placed without a drainage plan. For wet sites, add drainage solutions such as gravel layers, french drains, swales, or geotextile fabric and avoid putting fine-grained fill where surface drainage is poor. Consider screened or coarser engineered fill where faster drainage and stability are needed.
Use fill dirt for raising grades and bulk backfill where you do not need vegetation, because it is inexpensive and compacts well. Use crushed stone (or a stone base) for driveways and load-bearing surfaces because it provides drainage and strength. Use topsoil only for planting, lawns, and landscaping—do not use topsoil as a structural fill under driveways.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who deliver the material; some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout. For full spreading and grading by a contractor, expect labor and equipment costs to commonly range from $200 to $1,200 depending on job size, access, and site complexity. Contact our team and we can include notes for spreading and help you find local pros, but spreading services and exact prices are arranged directly with the contractor.
Fill dirt used as a subgrade can last a long time if properly compacted and covered with appropriate surface material like crushed stone, but bare fill surfaces will erode and settle faster. Expect periodic maintenance such as grading, adding stone, and re-compaction every few years depending on use and weather; small maintenance jobs often cost $50 to $300 while larger repairs cost more. Proper initial drainage and surface material greatly reduce long-term upkeep.
Permit needs vary by project type and location; simple yard grading often does not need a permit but driveways, building backfill near foundations, or work affecting wetlands or county roads may require permits or inspections from Pamlico County. Check with Pamlico County Planning and Inspections or the county building department before major grading or backfill work, especially near septic systems, property lines, or the road. When in doubt, contact local authorities and our customer support can point you to the right county office.
On slopes, loose fill dirt is prone to erosion during heavy rain common in the area, so stabilization is important—use terracing, retaining walls, erosion control blankets, straw wattles, or dense vegetation to hold soil. Combining compacted lifts of fill with geotextile fabric and proper drainage outlets (like swales or drains) helps prevent slumping and washouts. For steep or high-risk sites, consult a local contractor or engineer to design the right combination of fill, reinforcement, and drainage.

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.
