Why Manteo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manteo has a city population of 6,310 and sits inside a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates both opportunities and challenges for yards and small-site construction. As homes and infill projects increase with population growth, homeowners need reliable materials to grade lots, build garden beds, set fence posts, and backfill foundations. Quality aggregates are sought not just for appearance but for performance: the right fill material reduces future settling, improves drainage, and provides an economical base for walkways, sheds, and driveways in a region where wet seasons and sunny spells both affect soil behavior.Popular Projects in Manteo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manteo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Manteo.
Cost depends on depth you need, material type, and delivery distance. To estimate, calculate volume (0.25 acre = 10,890 sq ft); for 6 inches of fill that is 10,890 x 0.5 ft = 5,445 cu ft or about 201.7 cubic yards. A quick conversion uses about 1.2 tons per cubic yard, so that example would be roughly 240 tons; multiply by your per-ton price for a ballpark total. For an accurate, delivered price for Manteo properties, check availability and get a quote through our site or contact our sales team with your zip code and desired depth.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve the Manteo/Roanoke Island area and the Outer Banks. Enter your zip code on our site to see available fill dirt options and delivery windows, or call our sales team to get a tailored quote and supplier details for your location. Local landscapers and material yards on the Outer Banks also supply fill dirt, but ordering through Hello Gravel streamlines pricing and delivery scheduling.
Plain fill dirt is usually not the best wearing surface for driveways or parking pads, especially in coastal areas with a high water table. For stable drive surfaces, contractors typically use a compacted granular base such as crushed stone or structural fill, sometimes with a geotextile underlay and proper drainage. You can use well-compacted fill dirt as a subgrade if it is free of organic material and tested, but finish layers should be a more durable aggregate.
A 10x20 area is 200 sq ft; at 6 inches (0.5 ft) depth that equals 100 cubic feet, or about 3.7 cubic yards. Using a rough conversion of 1.2 tons per cubic yard, you would need about 4.4 tons, so order at least 5 tons to allow for compaction and minor spreading losses. We recommend adding 10-15% extra to account for compaction, settling, and measurement variance.
Possibly; waterfront and coastal properties on Roanoke Island are subject to local, county, and state coastal regulations. Dare County and North Carolina agencies may require permits, setbacks, or erosion and sediment controls for work near water, and you may need to follow specific BMPs during heavy rain or storm windows. Before ordering large volumes of fill, contact the Town of Manteo planning or Dare County permitting office and include permit needs in your order notes so your hauler can plan.
Fine fill dirt can retain water, lose strength when saturated, and settle more in areas with a high water table or storm surge exposure. For sites prone to flooding, engineers often specify granular fill, elevated grades, improved drainage, or structural fill systems designed to resist saturation and settlement. Discuss your site conditions with a geotechnical engineer and choose materials and compaction specs appropriate for coastal flood risk.
Yes, blending coarse local sand or granular material with fine fill dirt can improve drainage and compaction in many cases, but proportions and suitability depend on the specific soils. Contractors commonly mix or place a drainage layer beneath fill, and laboratory or field compaction tests are recommended to verify performance. Avoid incorporating organic or salty beach sand without testing, and consult a geotechnical pro for engineered work near foundations or seawalls.
Standard Hello Gravel delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option when available, but hurricane season can lengthen lead times and limit supplier availability. During active storms or evacuation windows, suppliers and haulers may pause deliveries or prioritize emergency work, so plan ahead and schedule early. Book as soon as you can and include flexible delivery dates; our team can flag time-sensitive orders for local suppliers.
Yes, some residential streets, bridges, and neighborhood rules in Manteo and on Roanoke Island may have weight or size restrictions that affect tri-axle dump trucks. Most deliveries use standard tri-axle trucks, but heavy loads or narrow access may require smaller trucks, permit allowances, or special routing. Provide delivery access details and any HOA or town restrictions when you order so suppliers can plan truck size and routing.
For general grading and non-structural fill, screened fill dirt is often acceptable if it is clean and well-compacted; however, for foundation backfill, retaining walls, or areas with high groundwater you will usually want crushed stone or engineered granular backfill for better drainage and compaction control. Many local engineers on Roanoke Island specify free-draining aggregate or controlled structural fill for critical applications. If your project involves foundations or moisture-sensitive structures, follow your engineer's recommendation and note material needs when ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
