Why Marvin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marvin sits in the West North Carolina region near Northasheboro, which has a city population of 6,621 and is part of a metro area of 2.3+ million. The town and surrounding communities are experiencing steady development driven by a 2.80% annual growth rate, and the local climate — 228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — supports a wide range of residential projects. As homeowners add patios, driveways, retaining walls, and landscape regrading, demand for reliable, affordable subgrade material rises. Homeowners look for quality Fill Dirt because it provides a compactable, economical base for structures and landscaping, helps control grade and drainage, and reduces the risk of uneven settling when placed correctly.Popular Projects in Marvin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marvin Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Marvin.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Marvin area usually fall in a range rather than a fixed rate because of local supply and hauling distance. Expect roughly $12 to $25 per ton, which translates to about $9 to $20 per cubic yard depending on compaction and moisture; actual quotes depend on delivery distance, order size, and supplier. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and may offer free delivery in many local zones, with next-day delivery available for an extra fee.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet ÷ 27 = 18.52 cu yd). That equals roughly 22 to 26 tons of fill dirt using local conversions (approximately 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Order a small overage (5-10%) to allow for settling and compaction.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons for most materials and areas, including Marvin. Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
Fill dirt is fine for building up low spots and rough grading, but it is not a substitute for engineered base materials where drainage or long-term stability is needed. Marvin's clay soils and humid climate can hold moisture and cause settling or poor drainage, so plan for proper compaction, drainage paths, and a granular base or geotextile under high-traffic areas. For final surfaces and driveways, cap fill dirt with crusher run or crushed stone to improve drainage and load-bearing capacity.
Straight fill dirt (low-organic, mostly fines and subsoil) is best used as a structural fill or to build grade; it should be compacted in lifts. For driveways and RV pads, a layered approach works better: use fill dirt to reach grade, then add a crushed stone or crusher run base (well-graded angular aggregate) for strength and drainage. Crusher run or crushed stone should be the wearing/base layer because they lock together and shed water better than fill dirt.
Possibly—Marvin and Mecklenburg County have rules about driveway changes, stormwater, and grading that can affect fill placement, especially near easements or flood-prone areas. Many HOAs also have covenants about driveway materials and front-yard appearance, so check your town planning department and your HOA documents before ordering material. When in doubt, request site-specific guidance from Hello Gravel or your local permitting office.
Fill dirt used as subgrade will perform fine for years if properly compacted and capped, but it can settle over time—especially in wet seasons common to West North Carolina. Expect to do occasional regrading and add top material (stone or gravel) every few years to keep surfaces even and to maintain drainage. For driveways, regular maintenance of the stone wearing surface (replenishing and light grading) will extend the lifespan significantly.
Install fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift to get reliable performance; small landscaping jobs can often be compacted with a rented vibratory plate compactor, while larger fills require a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller. Moisture conditioning (not too wet or too dry) during compaction is important in Marvin's climate to achieve good density. For large or structural fills, consider hiring a contractor with testing or compaction equipment.
Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance from local pits; some orders in Marvin may qualify for free delivery through Hello Gravel while smaller or remote deliveries might incur a fee in the range of roughly $50 to $150. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at checkout as a request and performed at the driver's discretion; if spreading is required, budget for an additional labor or spreading fee and confirm the service before delivery. Always review the delivery notes at checkout and contact our team if you need assistance or a site-specific 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.
