Why Jamestown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jamestown homeowners are part of a community with a city population: 14,840 and sit within a growing metro area with a metro area population: 2.3+ million. With a growth rate: 2.80% annually and a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall: 34.00 inches (hardiness zone: 8b)—local development and yard projects are steady. That steady growth drives demand for basic earthwork: driveway grade ups, foundation backfill, and yard regrading. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt to reduce future settling, support proper drainage after heavy rains, and create stable pads for patios, sheds, and new lawns. Because regional sourcing reflects local geology, selecting the right fill dirt up front helps avoid erosion, cut down on rework, and support plantings adapted to zone 8b conditions. Fill dirt performs well in Jamestown when it is properly placed and compacted to manage the area’s 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sun exposure. It is ideal for raising low spots, building level pads beneath structures, and filling trenches before topsoil is added for planting. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers, offers clear pricing, a minimum order: 3 tons, and scheduled drop-offs with standard delivery: 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST. Our material calculator and local expertise help you choose the right fill dirt and delivery window for your project.Popular Projects in Jamestown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jamestown Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Jamestown.
Generally yes: fill dirt is usually the least expensive bulk material because it is unamended soil used for raising grade and backfill. Gravel and topsoil cost more—gravel for drainage and structural uses, topsoil for planting—so choose based on function rather than price alone.
Prices vary by supplier and seasonal demand, but in the Jamestown area you can typically expect a broad range rather than an exact number. The fastest way to get a current local price is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see supplier quotes and delivery options for your area.
Use fill dirt to raise grade and provide structural backfill, topsoil if you plan to grow grass or plants, and gravel if you need improved drainage or a stable surface. In Jamestown's Piedmont soils, a common approach is structural fill dirt first, then a 2–4 inch layer of topsoil for planting.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Jamestown and nearby Guilford/Forsyth County areas, so you can compare local options quickly. Orders are delivered by dump truck (minimum order 3 tons); you can select delivery date at checkout and request tailgate spreading, which drivers may provide at their discretion.
To cover 1,000 sq ft to 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (about 8–9 tons), and to 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards (about 11–13 tons), depending on soil density. Multiply those volumes by local per-ton pricing from Hello Gravel to estimate total cost, and remember the 3-ton minimum order.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile—about the size of a small refrigerator. Depending on moisture and composition, a cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or ask your supplier for a local conversion factor.
A typical tri-axle dump truck that serves residential areas like Jamestown carries roughly 10–15 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which equals about 12–20 tons depending on compaction. Truckload cost depends on local per-ton rates, distance, and any fees—get a truckload quote via Hello Gravel for an exact price to your address.
Yes, bulk fill dirt is almost always cheaper per ton than bagged dirt when you need multiple cubic yards because bagged material includes packaging and handling costs. For small projects under a few cubic yards, bags may be convenient, but for raising grade or major backfill in Jamestown, bulk delivery is more cost-effective.
The cheapest option depends on the goal: for quick erosion control and low cost, straw or mulch plus seed is economical; for low-maintenance groundcover, pea gravel is affordable and durable; fill dirt is cost-effective when you need to raise grade, but you will usually top with topsoil and seed for a finished lawn. Consider Jamestown's seasonal planting windows (spring or fall for seeding) when choosing.
You can seed on fill dirt, but germination and long-term growth are usually poor because fill dirt lacks organic matter and nutrients. For a good lawn in Jamestown, spread 2–4 inches of topsoil or compost over the fill dirt before seeding, or rent a tiller and mix amendments into the surface soil.
Big-box stores typically sell bagged soil and sometimes offer delivery of pallets, but bulk fill dirt delivery is usually handled by local landscape supply yards and haulers. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers that provide bulk fills and truck delivery to Jamestown addresses.
Calculate the required cubic yards as (area in sq ft x depth in ft) / 27, then convert to tons using a local conversion (roughly 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard). Add 5–15% extra to account for compaction, settling, and grading—more for clay-rich Piedmont soils in the Jamestown area. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's calculator or request help from our team at 855-241-8884.
Have a clear, drivable access point and mark the desired drop zone with visible flags or cones so the driver can place the load safely on arrival. Remember tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion, so request it at checkout but plan for hiring a local landscaper or renting a wheelbarrow and rake if you need the material spread precisely.
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.
