Why Magnolia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Magnolia, with a population of 3,020, sits in a growing West North Carolina region that is expanding at a 2.80% annually rate. The local climate—228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of warm, sunny stretches and periodic wet periods that affect grading, drainage, and plant selection. That steady growth is translating into more home renovations, new landscaping, and small construction projects, all of which increase demand for dependable aggregates. Homeowners prioritize quality Fill Dirt because clean, compactable material reduces settling, improves drainage around foundations, and provides a stable base for patios, driveways, and raised beds.Popular Projects in Magnolia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Magnolia Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Magnolia.
Many Hello Gravel orders qualify for free delivery locally, but costs vary by supplier distance and site access. For Magnolia-area deliveries expect typical local fees around $50–$200 for short hauls and $200–$400 for longer or steep, difficult drops; we show exact pricing at checkout after you enter your zip code.
For bulk raising in hilly Magnolia yards choose clean 'fill dirt' or 'structural fill' with low organic matter; it is good for bringing grade up but not as a finished surface. For driveways and patios use fill dirt as the bulk lift, then finish with compacted crushed stone for strength and drainage; for foundation backfill specify engineered/structural fill and compaction per your engineer.
One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 1.1–1.4 tons depending on moisture and compaction (we use 1.2 tons/yd3 as a practical estimate). Examples: to raise a 10x20 ft area by 6 inches you need about 5 cubic yards (≈6 tons); to raise a 20x50 ft yard by 1 foot you need about 37 cubic yards (≈45 tons). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for precise estimates tied to your project.
Magnolia's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain can cause fill dirt to heave, settle, or become saturated if not pRoperly compacted and drained. To reduce problems, use structural fill, compact in lifts, provide surface and sub-surface drainage, and avoid high-organic fill in load-bearing areas.
Delivery is usually charged separately (see earlier ranges); labor for spreading and grading often runs $50–$150 per hour depending on crew and equipment, or roughly $10–$30 per cubic yard for mechanical spreading and compaction on typical jobs. Ask local contractors for itemized quotes because slope, access, and required compaction density change the price.
Fill dirt is fine-grained and best for bulk elevation, but it drains poorly compared with crushed stone. Use crushed stone for drainage layers, driveway bases, and slope stabilization; sand can help with leveling but is not a substitute for structural base material on slopes or near foundations.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West North Carolina suppliers serving Magnolia; most suppliers mirror Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum but check checkout for exact minimums in your zip code. Screening, clean/structural fill options, and color/texture vary by supplier, so add notes to your order or call our team to request screened or low-organic fill.
Local rules vary; simple yard raises often do not need permits, but engineered fills under foundations, retaining walls, or significant grading usually require permits and inspections from Magnolia or Polk County building and planning departments. Contact your local building department or your engineer before placing large orders for foundation or grading work.
PRoperly placed and compacted fill dirt can remain stable for many years, but expect some settlement after installation—often a few inches in the first 1–2 years. For raised lawns or driveways plan on inspecting after heavy rains and you may need top-ups or regrading every few years unless compaction and drainage were engineered for long-term stability.
Yes; Magnolia's common clay and loam soils hold water and can weaken fills, so installers often use geotextile fabric to separate fill dirt from subgrade, add a crushed stone base for drainage and load-bearing, and compact in lifts. For retaining walls and driveway bases, follow engineer or contractor recommendations on fabric, drainage tile, and gravel thickness to avoid future settlement and erosion.
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.

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.
