Why Mineral Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mineral Springs has a population of 579 and sits in a steadily growing West North Carolina region near a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, local building and landscaping activity is increasing—from small yard remodels to property grading for new construction. The climate helps explain demand: Mineral Springs averages 228 sunny days per year, sees an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and falls in hardiness zone 8b. Homeowners here need reliable materials that handle both sun and seasonal rain, support proper drainage, and make grading jobs simpler. That is why quality aggregates and engineered fill products are in demand: they provide predictable compaction, reduce settling, and help prevent erosion on sloped lots and driveways.Popular Projects in Mineral Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mineral Springs Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mineral Springs.
Prices vary by supplier, truck distance, and moisture, but delivered fill dirt in the Mineral Springs area commonly ranges from about $12 to $30 per ton (roughly $16 to $40 per cubic yard). Local factors like short-haul fees, site access, and seasonal demand can push prices outside this range, so get a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price.
Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons. Standard delivery is usually included for many nearby suppliers with a 2+ business day lead time; remote drops or next-day delivery (available before noon CST for an extra fee) may incur additional fuel or short-haul charges.
Fill dirt is useful for raising grade and filling voids, but on clay-heavy sites like those around Mineral Springs it is not ideal as a finished driveway surface. For driveways, use fill dirt to build grade then cap with compacted crushed stone; for backfill, choose clean, low-organic fill or a sand-gravel mix to improve drainage and reduce future settlement.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. To convert to tons, multiply cubic yards by the local density (fill dirt in this area typically ranges from about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction). Example: a 20x30 ft patio (600 sq ft) at 6 inches needs about 11.1 cubic yards, or roughly 13 to 18 tons.
Permit rules vary by town and county; small deliveries for routine yard grading usually do not need a permit, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or grading that affects neighboring properties often do. Before importing large quantities or doing significant regrading, check with your town hall or county planning/building department to confirm local requirements.
Labor and equipment costs vary, but expect small crews or operators to charge roughly $40 to $100 per hour, with machine rates (skid steer or mini-excavator) commonly $200 to $400 per day. Many contractors price spreading and compacting by the job or by ton, commonly adding $10 to $25 per ton for spreading and compaction depending on site difficulty and access.
Fill dirt with high clay content can shrink, swell, and settle with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains common to the region, which may cause surface irregularities over time. Proper placement—working in drier conditions, placing in thin lifts, and mechanically compacting—plus using free-draining mixes where needed will reduce long-term movement.
Not always. For retaining walls, use engineered, free-draining backfill (gravel or crushed stone) and drainage pipe to avoid hydrostatic pressure; plain fill dirt can trap water and stress walls. For septic trenches, local health rules often require specific sands or gravels—check with your county health department before using fill dirt in septic systems.
Standard delivery windows are typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal demand (spring and fall landscaping seasons) and wet weather can increase lead times or temporarily limit availability, so order early for larger projects.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive per ton and fine for raising grades, but it tends to settle and may require follow-up maintenance. Crushed stone costs more upfront but provides a durable, low-maintenance base for driveways. Topsoil is pricier and necessary for planting and lawns. For most driveways in Mineral Springs, a combination—fill dirt for bulk grade, crushed stone for the driving surface, and topsoil only where planting—is the most practical approach.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
