Frequently Asked Questions - Nashville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nashville.
Delivered price for fill dirt in Nashville, NC usually ranges from about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on supplier, distance, and whether the material is screened. Hello Gravel minimum orders Start at 3 tons and final price is set at checkout, so we recommend requesting a quote for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
Convert dimensions to cubic yards: length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27. For 12x20 at 6 inches: 12 x 20 x 0.5 = 120 cu ft, which is 4.44 cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the local density (about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt) to get roughly 5.3 tons; order a little extra to account for settlement.
For clay-heavy yards in Nash County, fill dirt is useful to raise grade or fill low spots, but it does not improve drainage or stability. Crushed stone or a gravel base is a better choice for driveways, paths, and areas where drainage and load-bearing are important. Many homeowners use fill dirt to build grade, then cap with crushed stone or gravel for surfaces that need to shed water and carry traffic.
Nashville, NC has occasional freeze-thaw and frequent heavy rainfall during the year, which can cause fill dirt to settle, erode, or wash out if not compacted and drained properly. Proper compaction in lifts, adequate surface grading, and managing runoff with swales or drains reduce problems. For slope work, add erosion control measures like vegetation or erosion mats to prevent washouts.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Nashville and the surrounding West North Carolina region. Our platform handles delivery scheduling and can help coordinate with local contractors, but compaction services are provided by individual contractors and may not be included with material delivery; request tailgate spreading at checkout and ask local crews about compaction.
Permit needs vary by project and location. Small deliveries for typical yard work rarely require a permit, but changes to topography, work in a regulated floodplain, or large earthmoving projects may need a permit from Nash County or the Town of Nashville. Contact Nash County Planning or the Nashville town office before importing large volumes to confirm local rules.
For sheds, contractors commonly place 6-8 inches of compacted fill dirt in 4-inch lifts with mechanical compaction; for driveways, fill dirt alone is not recommended as a structural base. Driveways typically require an 8-12 inch compacted crushed stone base with proper compaction (often 95% of Standard Proctor), and any fill dirt used for grading should be compacted in thin lifts and covered with a suitable base material.
Stabilize slopes immediately by seeding with native grass or groundcover, using erosion-control blankets or jute matting on steeper grades, and installing temporary silt fences during construction to trap sediment. Divert runoff with berms or swales to reduce concentrated flow, and consider terracing or retaining walls for long-term stability on steeper slopes.
Fill dirt is not a durable driving surface and will quickly rut and compact under vehicle traffic; expect frequent maintenance within months to a few years depending on use and rainfall. If used temporarily, plan on regular grading, adding material, and improving drainage; for a long-lasting driveway surface, switch to crushed stone or gravel on top of a compacted base.
Screened fill dirt costs more because rocks, roots, and debris are removed during processing; expect a higher per-ton price for screened material compared with unscreened bulk fill. Delivery in Nashville is typically by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum from Hello Gravel, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
