Why Mount Gilead Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Gilead is a small but growing community with a city population of 5,410. With a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually and proximity to a metro area population of 2.3+ million, local demand for home improvements and new construction is steady. The climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates specific site-preparation needs. Homeowners here look for dependable aggregates to control grade, prevent erosion during wet spells, and create stable subgrades that stand up to frequent sun and seasonal rain. Good fill material reduces future settling and drainage problems that can be costly to fix once landscaping or structures are in place.Popular Projects in Mount Gilead This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Gilead Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mount Gilead.
Delivery cost for fill dirt in Mount Gilead varies by supplier, distance from the pit, and the size of your order. Hello Gravel provides upfront quotes at checkout and often includes free delivery in many areas; use our online quote to see exact per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing for your address. Small orders (near the 3-ton minimum) usually cost more per unit than full truckloads, so expect lower per-ton pricing for larger loads.
Hello Gravel works with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Mount Gilead and the West North Carolina region. Typical minimum order is 3 tons, with standard delivery lead times of 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. For specific supplier names, available material types, and exact lead times at your zip code, request a quote on our site or call our team.
Calculate cubic yards: area in square feet times depth in feet, divided by 27. For example, a 20x30 ft area (600 ft2) raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 11.1 cubic yards (600 x 0.5 / 27). Because fill dirt compacts and settles, order an extra 10-25% to be safe; using a 20% allowance gives about 13.3 cubic yards, which at roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard equals about 16 tons.
A common rule of thumb for fill dirt is about 1.2 tons per cubic yard, but this varies with moisture and soil type. Use 1.1-1.4 tons/yd3 for tighter estimates and ask your supplier if you need a more precise number for heavy structural fills. Hello Gravel provides both cubic yard and ton measures in checkout so you can order the right amount.
Yes. Mount Gilead sits in the Piedmont region where soils often contain clay that can hold moisture and experience seasonal swelling or softening after heavy rain. For driveways and building pads, place fill dirt in thin lifts and compact each lift to reduce future settlement, and consider a driven aggregate base or crushed stone topping for traffic areas. For critical elevations or structures, consider a soils test or advice from a local engineer.
Local rules can apply when you move large volumes of earth, affect drainage, or disturb slopes. Montgomery County or Mount Gilead town offices may require permits, erosion controls, or stormwater measures for substantial grading or if the work affects streams or neighboring properties. Before ordering, check with Montgomery County planning or the town permit office and, if needed, include erosion-control measures in your plan.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival. For precise placement or finished grades, plan to use local labor or equipment (skid steer, dozer) after delivery.
No. Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic matter meant to raise grade and provide structural support; it is not suited for planting or lawns. For landscaping, topsoil or a soil mix with organic matter is better; you can order both through Hello Gravel or add a topsoil layer after placing fill dirt. If you need to grow grass or plants, plan for a 4-6 inch layer of quality topsoil over compacted fill.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, fences, low branches, and obstructions and mark the preferred dump location with flags or stakes. Make sure the truck can access the site—note gate widths, overhead wires, and soft ground that might prevent a tri-axle dump truck from approaching. Add delivery notes at checkout and call our team if you have special access concerns so we can coordinate with the hauler.
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.
