Why henrico Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Henrico has a city population of 1,210 and is part of a growing regional market within a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, local development and yard projects are increasing, driving steady demand for basic aggregates. The climate—with about 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches—creates alternating wet and dry conditions homeowners must plan for. For grading, filling low spots, and preparing subgrades for patios or driveways, homeowners look for consistent, compactable materials that reduce future settling and erosion. Quality fill dirt is often the first step in reliable outdoor projects because it provides mass and stability before topsoil or pavers are added.Popular Projects in henrico This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - henrico Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in henrico.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in the West North Carolina (Henrico) area vary based on source, moisture content, and access. Expect roughly $10 to $30 per ton as a general range, or about $12 to $40 per cubic yard delivered, though actual quotes depend on your zip code, delivery distance, and truck access. Use our zip code check or request a quote on Hello Gravel for an exact price.
Prices depend on local suppliers and job specifics, but a common ballpark in the Henrico area is $10 to $30 per ton, or approximately $12 to $40 per cubic yard. Factors that change price include moisture, how clean the dirt is, truck access, and whether you need spreading or permits. For a firm price enter your address on Hello Gravel and get a supplier quote.
First calculate cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27. Then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 (fill dirt density varies with moisture). Example: to raise a 1,000 sq ft area by 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 9.3 cubic yards, roughly 11 to 13 tons. If you expect settling, add 5-10% extra and consult a local contractor for large jobs.
Fill dirt is fine as a subgrade to build up elevation, but it is not an ideal wearing surface for driveways in Henrico’s clay and wet summers. Clay-heavy fill can hold water and rut under traffic; we recommend a compacted granular base (crushed stone or gravel) on top of well-compacted fill dirt for driveways. For heavy-use areas, use engineered base materials and proper drainage to prevent long-term problems.
Performance depends on composition and drainage. Fill dirt with high clay content can shrink, swell, and retain water during wet periods, which makes it more susceptible to freeze-thaw movement. Proper compaction, moisture control during placement, and installing drainage or a gravel layer on top reduce freeze-thaw damage. For critical projects, ask a local engineer or contractor about engineered fill and compaction testing.
Septic backfill often has specific local requirements; many jurisdictions in North Carolina require clean fill or engineered backfill for drain fields and structural areas. For Henrico projects, check local health department or county building codes before using general fill dirt around septic systems. If codes require engineered fill or compaction testing, Hello Gravel can help supply material but coordinate with your contractor or inspector for compliance.
Fill dirt itself doesn’t have a set lifespan; durability depends on installation quality, compaction, drainage, and traffic. A properly compacted subgrade with good drainage and a proper wearing surface (gravel or pavement) can perform well for many years, while poorly installed fill may settle and need regrading within 1-3 years. Regular maintenance, including top dressing and addressing drainage issues, extends service life.
For drainage and structural support, crushed stone outperforms fill dirt in Henrico’s wet climate. Crushed stone provides stable load-bearing and good drainage; fill dirt is best used to raise grades or backfill where structural capacity is not required. For foundations, driveways, and areas with poor natural drainage, use a granular base layer (crushed stone) over compacted fill or use engineered fill specified by a professional.
Yes, many local contractors and geotechnical firms in the Henrico area provide compaction, testing, and engineered fill services for construction projects. For residential grading or small yard projects you may only need a roller or plate compactor, but for structural work or permits contractors will often perform compaction testing. Ask your contractor about proctor and density testing if your project requires inspections or engineered specifications.
Large orders can trigger additional fees or logistics constraints such as street permits, restricted delivery hours, or offload charges if access is tight. Henrico may have local road or weight restrictions that require permits for multiple heavy-truck deliveries; driveway access, overhead lines, and space for tri-axle trucks also affect delivery options. When ordering through Hello Gravel, note your access constraints in Order Notes and contact our team to confirm any permitting or extra fees before checkout.
Provide your full address and the best delivery window, describe the drop location and access (driveway width, overhead wires, gate, steep grades), and note if you want tailgate spreading requested (driver discretion). Include any permit or HOA restrictions and the desired material depth so we can match the right truck and supplier. For exact pricing or special requests, contact Hello Gravel sales at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.
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.
