Why Millers Creek Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Millers Creek (population 5,130) is a growing community set in a moderate climate—about 228 sunny days each year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—that supports both active landscaping and steady residential development. With the area expanding at roughly 2.80% annually, homeowners and small contractors increasingly need reliable fill materials for grading, foundation backfill, driveway build-up, and erosion control. Quality aggregates matter here because local soils can vary, and properly selected fill dirt reduces settling, improves compaction, and helps direct stormwater away from structures. For Millers Creek projects, homeowners choose well-graded, low-organic fill dirt to create stable bases before paving, building raised beds, or regrading yards to prevent pooling after heavy rains.Popular Projects in Millers Creek This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Millers Creek Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Millers Creek.
Pricing varies by supplier and distance, but expect delivered fill dirt in the Millers Creek area to commonly range from about $12 to $30 per cubic yard (or roughly $8 to $20 per ton) depending on quality, volume, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and has a 3-ton minimum; use our calculator or request a quote for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Millers Creek and the surrounding West North Carolina region, so you can check availability by entering your zip code on our site. For bigger jobs, local landscaping and excavation contractors in Wilkes County often source from the same suppliers and can coordinate delivery and spreading.
Fill dirt can be used for bulk elevation and fill but is not an ideal wearing surface for driveways because it compacts poorly and can hold water in clay-rich sites common around Millers Creek. For driveways and areas exposed to freeze-thaw, we recommend using fill dirt only as a sub-fill topped with a proper base such as crushed stone or road base to improve drainage and long-term stability.
Place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and mechanically compact each lift to achieve good density; lighter lifts help reduce settlement in clay soils common in West North Carolina. For a driveway sub-fill, allow enough depth so the finished grade plus a minimum 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or road base sits on top for load-bearing and drainage.
Measure the area (length x width) and the required fill depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; if you need tons, multiply cubic yards by the local conversion factor (commonly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt) to account for moisture and density. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick estimate and round up to allow for compaction and settling.
Fill dirt drains much slower than crushed stone because it contains finer particles and often clay, so it tends to retain water during North Carolina rain events; crushed stone or gravel provides far better permeability and reduces surface runoff and saturation. When drainage is important, use fill dirt only as sub-grade and place a permeable aggregate layer or drainage system above it.
Permit and HOA requirements vary: small landscaping fills often do not require permits, but significant grade changes, retaining walls, or projects near streams may need permits from Wilkes County or state agencies. Check with your local county planning or building office and your HOA before ordering large volumes; Hello Gravel customer service can also advise about common permitting concerns.
Avoid ordering large amounts of fill dirt during very wet periods because saturated ground can increase delivery difficulty and reduce compaction effectiveness; spring and fall typically offer milder conditions in West North Carolina. Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery may be available; schedule deliveries for drier days when possible and let the driver know site access constraints.
As a buried sub-fill, properly placed and compacted fill dirt can be stable for many years, but it may settle over time, especially in clay soils, so expect some settlement and plan for additional compaction or adding material later. For pavers or structural bases, use fill dirt only beneath a compacted, permeable base (crushed stone/road base) to protect the surface materials and minimize maintenance.
Fill dirt is generally the least expensive material per cubic yard, making it a cost-effective choice for bulk fills and grading, but it does not replace crushed stone or road base where load-bearing and drainage are required. For driveways, patios, or hardscape bases expect higher material cost for crushed stone or road base, but those materials save money long-term by reducing maintenance and prolonging surface life.
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.
