Why Mount Airy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Airy (population 29,756) is part of a growing West North Carolina region experiencing steady expansion at about 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports active landscaping and home improvement while also exposing soils to seasonal wetting and drying. As new builds, additions, and yard renovations continue, homeowners and contractors increasingly need reliable aggregates that reduce settling and manage water. Quality fill dirt that is low in organic matter and suitable for compaction helps create stable grades, backfill foundations, and prepare driveway subgrades—reducing the risk of erosion or uneven settling in this mixed climate.Popular Projects in Mount Airy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Airy Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mount Airy.
Fill dirt is native soil used to raise grade, fill holes, or build up a base under driveways and yards. In Mount Airy, use fill dirt for leveling, creating positive drainage away from foundations, and building a compacted subgrade before placing gravel or pavement.
Local prices vary with source, moisture, and distance, but delivered fill dirt in the Mount Airy area commonly ranges roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard (about $8 to $20 per ton, depending on material density). For an exact rate for your zip code and delivery date, request a quote via Hello Gravel since regional sourcing and truck routing affect final price.
A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of fill dirt, and a delivered load in the Mount Airy area often falls in the $300 to $800 range depending on volume, distance, and site access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can provide a delivery price that includes local hauler fees and any access or tipping charges.
Volume depends on driveway length and desired depth. As an example, a 20 ft wide by 100 ft long driveway with a 4-inch (0.33 ft) compacted fill layer needs about 25 cubic yards (20 x 100 x 0.33 / 27), which is roughly 32 to 35 tons. Using typical Mount Airy delivered pricing, that base alone could cost in the ballpark of $250 to $750; always add 10-20% for compaction and settlement and get a specific quote through Hello Gravel for an exact total.
Two inches of top gravel is generally not enough for a durable driveway. For Mount Airy conditions we recommend a compacted subgrade of 4 to 6 inches of fill dirt or approved road base, followed by 2 to 3 inches of finished gravel; heavier traffic or poor soils may require 6 to 8 inches of base plus 3 inches of surface gravel.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; most local haulers use tri-axle dump trucks carrying about 10–14 cubic yards per load. Extra fees may apply for long-distance deliveries, tight access, steep driveways, bridge crossings, off-road unloading, or same-day/next-day service; standard delivery is scheduled 2+ business days in advance.
The Mount Airy area sources fill dirt from local quarries, pits, and soil suppliers, including operations near the Mount Airy granite region. Lead times commonly range from 2 to 7 business days, depending on supplier inventory and truck availability; Hello Gravel can connect you to local suppliers and provide current lead times for your zip code.
Permitting depends on project scope and location: minor yard leveling usually requires no permit, but large changes in grade, driveway expansions, or work impacting stormwater and right-of-way can trigger city or county permits. Check Mount Airy city codes and Surry County planning rules before ordering, and contact the local permitting office if you are unsure.
Costs vary with material type, access, and disposal needs. Typical demolition and removal can add $30 to $100+ per cubic yard for labor and hauling, while compacted replacement may add $15 to $40 per cubic yard for placement and compaction; for a modest driveway prep project you might expect total removal and replace costs in the low thousands, but get a local contractor estimate for accuracy.
Mount Airy’s rain and freeze/thaw cycles can increase settlement and erosion risk, so plan for extra depth and good drainage. Add 10–20% extra fill for anticipated settlement, schedule compaction and installation during drier months when possible, and include swales, positive slopes, and drainage pipe where water collects.
Contractors commonly bundle delivery, spreading, grading, and compaction; some also offer erosion control and final gravel placement. For small yard fills expect bundled labor and equipment to run several hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while full driveway prep with base, compaction, and topstone commonly ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 depending on length, access, and materials; contact local contractors or Hello Gravel for tailored bids.
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.
