Why Lexington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lexington is home to 70,191 residents and is experiencing steady demand for home improvement and site work as the area grows at about 2.80% annually. With a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall, homeowners face both wet-season drainage challenges and sun-driven landscaping needs. That mix of conditions—periodic heavy rain, warm sunny stretches, and local soils reflective of the region’s geography—drives demand for reliable aggregates that can stabilize grades, fill low spots, and prepare sites for patios, driveways, and planting beds. Homeowners and small contractors alike look for quality, regionally sourced materials that match local soil behavior and weather patterns to avoid future settling and erosion problems. Fill dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice for many Lexington projects because it provides bulk material to raise grades, backfill foundations, and rebuild low areas before adding topsoil or surface layers. In a locale with 34.00 inches of annual rain and frequent sun, good fill dirt helps improve drainage by allowing proper slope and compaction, reducing water pooling and surface erosion. Hello Gravel connects Lexington homeowners with trusted local suppliers and dump truck delivery so you get regionally appropriate fill dirt on a reliable schedule, with clear pricing and the ability to choose your delivery date through our online checkout.Popular Projects in Lexington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexington Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lexington.
Exact pricing varies by local supplier, delivery distance, and job access, so we recommend getting a quote on Hello Gravel for your Lexington zip code. For planning, note that 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.4 tons, and our minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery timing (standard 2+ business days) and any spreading requests can change cost, so request pricing in checkout for an accurate delivered price.
Quantity depends on your driveway width and how much height you need to add; for example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway raised 3 inches requires about 9.3 cubic yards of fill (100 x 10 x 0.25 ft ÷ 27). Cost depends on local unit price, haul distance, and whether you need compaction or import of engineered fill; get a quote through Hello Gravel and include project notes (width, desired finished grade) for an accurate delivered price.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which is typically close to 2 cubic yards depending on moisture and soil type, so you may not be able to place an order for exactly 2 cubic yards through our platform. If you need a very small amount, consider local landscape suppliers, pickup loads, or renting a truck; otherwise request the minimum on our site and we can advise if a slightly larger delivery makes sense for your project.
Fill dirt is generally less expensive than screened topsoil because it contains fewer organic materials and more fines and clay. Use fill dirt (or engineered compactable fill) for building up grade and creating subgrade; use topsoil only where you plan to grow grass, plants, or lawns because it supports vegetation and drainage differently. For improved drainage in Lexington’s Piedmont clay soils, consider mixing sandy material or using a gravel layer beneath topsoil and compacting appropriately.
For very small amounts, pickup loads or supplier pickup can be cheapest if you have a truck and time. For medium to large jobs, bulk dump truck delivery is usually most cost-effective per cubic yard because hauling is bundled and fewer trips are needed. If you need spreading and grading, hiring a contractor who bundles material, haul, and labor can be cost-efficient, so compare quotes and use Hello Gravel to check bulk pricing in your area.
Most full-size pickup beds hold roughly 1 cubic yard by volume, but the actual safe load depends on your truck’s payload capacity and the dirt’s weight. Overloading a truck is a safety and legal risk, so if you need reliable volume and safe delivery in Lexington, it’s usually better to order by the cubic yard and have a professional dump truck deliver. Also remember our minimums and delivery options when planning small loads.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (1,000 x (2/12) ft ÷ 27 = 6.17 cy), which is typically within the scope of a bulk delivery. In wheelbarrows, that is roughly 40 to 60 wheelbarrow loads depending on wheelbarrow size (3 to 4 cubic feet per load). Hello Gravel serves Lexington-area zip codes, so you can request a delivery quote and schedule via our site.
Small leveling and spreading jobs are DIY-friendly if you have time, a compacting plate or hand tamper, and proper safety gear; for larger jobs or precise grades you should hire a contractor. Labor and grading rates vary with scope, equipment, and local demand—get multiple local quotes for best pricing. Hello Gravel can deliver the material, and you can add notes at checkout if you plan to have a contractor or need tailgate spreading (driver will assess feasibility on arrival).
For a structural driveway base, recycled concrete or crusher run (a mix of stone and fines) is often cheaper and performs better than plain fill dirt because it compacts and drains well. For simple leveling under lawn areas, screened subsoil or a sandy loam blend might be appropriate but check drainage needs in Lexington’s clay soils. Always match material to the use: aesthetic lawn areas need topsoil on top, while driveways need compactable aggregate.
For a driveway under gravel, do not rely on loose fill dirt as your structural base; order compactable fill or crusher run (bankrun) designed to compact and bear loads. Typical practice is to install 4 to 8 inches of compacted base in 4- to 6-inch lifts, compacting each lift with mechanical equipment to achieve firm support before topping with 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel. If you need engineered specifications or structural advice for vehicle loads, get a contractor or engineer involved and request that information when ordering through Hello Gravel.
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.
