Why Laurel Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Laurel Hill is a small but growing community of 3,750 residents set within the larger West North Carolina region, which supports a metro area population of 2.3+ million. Local development is steady—the area posts a growth rate of 2.80% annually—so homeowners are increasingly taking on grading, drainage, and landscaping projects. Laurel Hill's climate includes about 228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. That mix of sun and periodic heavy rain means yards need materials that compact well, shed water where required, and limit erosion. Homeowners look for dependable aggregates to raise low spots, establish proper slopes away from foundations, and create stable bases for driveways or patios, and Fill Dirt often provides the economical, stable starting layer those projects require. Fill Dirt in Laurel Hill should be clean, low-organic, and well-graded so it compacts tightly and resists washout during the town's 34.00 inches of yearly rain. It is ideal for backfilling foundations, building up grades before adding topsoil, and stabilizing trenches or under pavers. Hello Gravel connects Laurel Hill homeowners with vetted local suppliers and haulers, making it easy to order the right amount (minimum orders start at 3 tons) and schedule delivery by dump truck. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Our regional sourcing ensures the Fill Dirt reflects local soil characteristics while helping you get materials delivered on a timeline that fits your project.Popular Projects in Laurel Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Laurel Hill Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Laurel Hill.
Expect a range rather than an exact price: fill dirt in Laurel Hill and West North Carolina usually runs lower than decorative stone, commonly about $8 to $25 per ton or $10 to $35 per cubic yard delivered, depending on source, distance, and season. Final price depends on your zip code, the supplier, and truck access; check our site for a guaranteed quote for your address.
Local fill dirt generally consists of native soil mixes of sand, silt, and clay with minimal organic material and few roots or debris. For driveways or structural fills, contractors often request 'clean fill' or 'structural fill' that is screened and free of topsoil and large organics to improve compaction and stability.
A good rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt (varying with moisture and compaction). For 100 sq ft: 2" depth ≈ 0.6 cu yd (about 0.7–0.9 tons), 4" ≈ 1.2 cu yd (about 1.4–1.7 tons), and 6" ≈ 1.85 cu yd (about 2.2–2.6 tons).
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, which covers most small projects. Many local suppliers and haulers run tri-axle dump trucks that deliver in 10–20 ton loads, so for large grading jobs you may see minimums tied to partial or full truckloads; check pricing on our site for exact minimums in your zip code.
Small residential deliveries for grading or yard fill usually do not need a permit, but large earth imports, major regrading, or work affecting drainage may require county permits or approval from Scotland County planning or your HOA. We recommend contacting the Scotland County building or planning office before large deliveries to confirm local rules.
Avoid deliveries during prolonged heavy rain or when ground is saturated or frozen; West North Carolina's wet periods can make sites muddy and harder for trucks to access. Deliveries are available year-round, but expect possible delays, additional site fees, or rescheduling if conditions are unsafe.
Drivers may be able to perform basic tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety on arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction—hire a local contractor or rent a compactor if you need professional spreading and compaction.
Place fill in 4" to 6" lifts, lightly moisten each lift if needed, and compact with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger areas to reduce settlement. On slopes, use terracing, geotextile, retaining walls, and surface drains to control erosion; consider hiring an excavator operator experienced with local soils.
Fill dirt alone is not a durable driveway surface—it's intended for bulk raising and grading and will erode and rut under traffic and heavy rain in Laurel Hill's freeze-thaw and storm cycles. For a lasting driveway, lay proper base material (crushed stone or crushed gravel) and a suitable top layer; fill dirt is best used behind or under structural base layers, not as the finished surface.
Fill dirt is cheapest per ton and fine for building up grade and backfill, but it compacts to a dense, low-drainage layer and will not perform well as a surface. Crushed stone provides strength, drainage, and a workable base for driveways, while bank run gravel is a cheaper mixed natural product with variable quality and drainage; for driveways choose crushed stone base with a drainage plan.
Expect to pay the delivered fill dirt price plus separate equipment or labor costs for spreading and compaction: small machine or operator rates often range from about $75 to $200 per hour depending on equipment size, while a day rate or small contractor job may run several hundred to a few thousand dollars for larger jobs. For an accurate local estimate in Laurel Hill, request a bundled quote including material, delivery, and spreading from Hello Gravel or a local contractor.

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.
