Why Louisburg Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Louisburg has a population of 20,450 and is part of a growing regional economy, with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a local annual growth rate of 2.80% annually. The area sees 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun, seasonal rain, and steady growth is driving demand for home projects—from regrading yards and raising garage pads to building retaining walls and garden terraces. Homeowners in Louisburg often look for dependable, locally sourced aggregates to create stable bases, control drainage, and avoid future settling as new construction and landscaping projects move ahead.Popular Projects in Louisburg This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Louisburg Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Louisburg.
Expect a range rather than a single price: material alone in the Louisburg/West North Carolina area commonly runs from about $8 to $20 per ton, with delivered prices often falling between $15 and $45 per ton depending on distance, moisture content, and truck access. Delivery fees, minimum orders, and seasonal demand can move the price, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel (minimum order 3 tons) for an exact delivered price.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling fleets serving Louisburg and the surrounding West North Carolina area, so you can shop fill dirt online and schedule delivery to your address. Enter your zip code or call our team (855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734) to see available local suppliers and get a quote.
It depends on driveway size and desired build-up. As a rule of thumb, for a 20 ft by 20 ft two-car area: every 1 inch of fill equals about 0.46 cubic yards (roughly 0.6 to 0.7 tons), so 4 inches of raise is about 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 9 to 11 tons. Calculate your area and depth, convert to cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 to 1.5 to estimate tons and ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific recommendation.
Fill dirt is useful for raising grade and filling low spots, but plain fill dirt can hold water and compact into a dense layer in clay-rich, wet conditions common around Louisburg. For better long-term performance, compact in lifts, install proper drainage, and cap the fill with gravel or engineered base where surface runoff and vehicle traffic are expected.
Use fill dirt to build or raise the subgrade and correct elevations; however, crushed stone or a compacted aggregate base is the better surface material for driveways because it drains better and holds up to traffic. Many local projects use fill dirt to shape the base, then finish with 3/4" crushed stone or a compacted aggregate topcoat for durability.
Yes, local rules can apply. Franklin County or the Town of Louisburg may require permits for large land-disturbing activities, changes to drainage, or deliveries that alter grade near wetlands or septic systems. Before ordering large volumes, check with the Franklin County Building and Zoning office or the Town of Louisburg for permit and erosion-control requirements.
For small yards and residential projects, compact fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts using a plate compactor (rental-friendly) to reduce settlement. For larger areas, a walk-behind vibratory roller or a ride-on roller achieves better density; always compact each lift and avoid adding heavy loads until the fill is settled and tested visually.
Fill dirt itself does not 'expire,' but settling and erosion are normal—most homeowners notice the largest settlement within the first rainy seasons. Expect to monitor and possibly top up low spots within 6 to 12 months after placement, especially after heavy rains, and plan for final grading and landscaping once settlement stabilizes.
Yes. Winter freezes, thaw cycles, and heavy rainy periods can make lawns and driveways soft, increasing the risk of ruts and uneven spreading when delivered. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; schedule deliveries when ground conditions are firm and note in Order Notes if placement restrictions apply.
Suppliers price fill dirt either per ton or per cubic yard; because soil weight varies with moisture, many vendors quote per ton for clarity. In the Louisburg market you will commonly see a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and separate delivery fees or flat delivery charges based on distance and truck accessibility, so confirm both the unit price and any delivery minimums when you get a quote.
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.
