Why Madison Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Madison (city population 9,100) is growing steadily, with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches—means homeowners are frequently updating yards, patios, and driveways to manage drainage and support new landscaping. That steady growth drives demand for reliable bulk materials for grading, leveling, and structural backfill. Homeowners often look for straightforward, dependable solutions that help prevent settling, keep grades consistent, and direct water away from foundations, so understanding which aggregate to use is essential before ordering truckloads for projects large and small.Popular Projects in Madison This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Madison Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Madison.
Fill dirt pricing in Madison varies by supplier, distance from the pit, and truck access. Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes online (minimum order 3 tons) and delivery fees can increase for long hauls, steep or narrow driveways, or special handling. Get an exact price by entering your zip code on our site or requesting a local quote.
Madison and West North Carolina have seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, significant spring rainfall, and soils that can be clay-rich in places, all of which influence settling and drainage. Those conditions make proper compaction, drainage planning, and erosion control important when using fill dirt. Expect regional variation in color and texture because materials are sourced locally.
Use this rule of thumb: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then convert cubic yards to tons. For fill dirt in this region a common conversion is about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction, so multiply cubic yards by that range. If you want an exact number, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions.
Local contractors usually separate charges: material delivered (often per ton), labor for spreading (hourly or per cubic yard), and equipment fees for compaction (hourly or flat rental). Some charge a mobilization or minimum trip fee for tight-access jobs. Because practices vary, ask for an itemized estimate that includes delivery, spreading, and compaction before hiring.
Fill dirt is intended to raise grade and fill voids; it generally does not contain the crushed rock needed for stable, long-lasting driveways. For driveways you should use crusher run or road base, which compact into a firm surface and provide drainage. Use fill dirt beneath a structural base if you need to build up low spots, then cap with a proper base material for the driveway.
Expect some settlement after placement—plan for compaction in 6-12 inch lifts and allow extra material for future settling. Provide positive drainage away from foundations and use swales, French drains, or geotextile where slopes and storm runoff are concerns. Freeze-thaw cycles in the area can cause heaving if fill is not well-drained and compacted, so good drainage and proper compaction are critical.
Fill dirt is generally low in organic matter and not suitable as a final planting soil for lawns or gardens. If you plan to grow grass or plants, place 4 to 6 inches of topsoil over the fill dirt or amend the fill with compost and topsoil before planting. For tree planting, build proper planting pockets and use quality topsoil around root zones.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Provide driveway width, gate clearance, overhead wires, slope, and preferred drop location in Order Notes or photos so the hauler can assess access; difficult access can require smaller trucks or extra fees. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it, but spreading is at the driver’s discretion.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
