Why Lowell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lowell has a population of 3,090 and sits within a growing regional market with a 2.80% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners balance sunny, dry spells with periods of significant moisture. That mix drives steady demand for dependable aggregates: new construction, driveway repairs, yard regrading, and utility backfill all require materials that compact well and shed water. Homeowners and small contractors in Lowell look for quality fill materials to avoid future settling, keep foundations and slabs stable, and manage surface drainage under changing weather patterns.Popular Projects in Lowell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lowell Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lowell.
Prices vary by truck distance, screening, and current demand, but screened fill dirt in West North Carolina commonly ranges about $15 to $35 per ton delivered. A small driveway project often needs 15 to 20 tons, so estimate the material cost and then add any hauling fees shown at checkout; Hello Gravel displays upfront, location-based pricing and a 3-ton minimum.
For foundation backfill choose screened, non-organic, compactable fill dirt free of roots and debris. For structural or load-bearing work, many contractors use engineered fill or specification-graded fill and follow an engineer's compaction plans—check with your builder or local inspector before ordering.
Fill dirt can work in areas with clay soils and frequent rain but you should account for drainage and compaction. In clay-heavy yards, avoid using clay-rich fill as the final drainage layer; instead use compactable fill for mass and a layer of crushed stone or drainage rock where needed to keep water moving away from structures.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches is about 12.35 cubic yards, which is roughly 15 to 17 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and density. We recommend ordering 10% to 20% extra for compaction and settling, so plan on about 17 to 20 tons and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.
Mechanical compaction happens immediately with proper equipment and compacting in 6-inch lifts, but full settlement stabilizes over weeks to months depending on moisture. For driveways, fill dirt alone is not a durable wearing surface; contractors typically place a compacted fill subgrade and then add several inches of crushed stone or gravel for a stable, long-lasting drive surface.
Use fill dirt to raise grade or fill voids because it compacts well and is low in organics; use topsoil only as a thin finishing layer for planting and lawns. A common approach is to bring the elevation up with screened fill dirt, then add 3 to 6 inches of topsoil for turf or planting beds.
Yes, Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers around Lowell and Gaston County to deliver screened fill dirt. Minimums vary by supplier, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; many trucks are tri-axle deliveries that carry 12 to 16 tons, so expect different pricing for partial vs full-truck loads.
Depending on the scope you may need permits for grading, stormwater changes, or altering drainage; Lowell is in Gaston County so check the Town of Lowell and Gaston County building and planning departments. Also call 811 before digging to locate utilities and consult local officials if your project changes runoff or affects neighboring properties.
Yes, mixing strategies are common: contractors often use compactable fill dirt for mass and crushed stone or crushed rock as a sub-base or drainage layer. For best results use stone at the lowest elevations or under foundations and driveways, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate soils and prevent migration.
Typical delivered prices for screened fill dirt in West North Carolina are often in the $15 to $35 per ton range, but exact rates depend on distance from source, screening, and truckload size. Prices can rise with heavy demand, winter freezes or prolonged wet weather that slow quarry operations, and fuel or hauling cost changes, so get an up-to-date quote through Hello Gravel for accurate pricing.

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.
