Why Newport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Newport is a growing community with a city population of 19,470 and links to a larger metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local construction and landscaping activity is on the rise, creating steady demand for reliable bulk materials. The area averages 228/year sunny days and receives 34.00 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b—conditions that favor year-round outdoor projects but also require materials that handle both wet spells and frequent sun. Homeowners in Newport look for quality aggregates to build level yards, raise low spots, improve drainage, and backfill foundations; consistent, low-organic fill dirt is a common choice because it compacts well and reduces long-term settling when installed correctly.Popular Projects in Newport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Newport Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Newport.
Prices vary by supplier, quantity, and distance, but local fill dirt in Newport commonly runs roughly $8 to $25 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and shows transparent, location-specific pricing at checkout—use our zip code check or contact our team for an exact quote. Delivery fees may be included or added depending on your area and chosen delivery speed.
A 1,000 sq ft area raised 6 inches requires about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft; 500 / 27 = 18.52 yd3). Fill dirt weight varies, but that equals roughly 22 to 28 tons depending on moisture and compaction; we recommend ordering 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction. Contact our team for a precise conversion using the local material we source.
Fill dirt alone is usually not the best surface stabilizer on clay soils. For a stable driveway in West North Carolina you should build a proper subbase: excavation, geotextile if needed, compactable structural fill, and a layer of crushed stone or dense-graded aggregate on top to improve drainage and load-bearing. Fill dirt can be used as bulk fill behind proper base layers, but for the driving surface choose gravel or crushed stone.
Fill dirt can settle, erode, or rut if left exposed to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain, especially on slopes or poor drainage areas. To perform well in Newport's climate, compact the fill in lifts, provide positive drainage, and cover the surface with a protective layer (crushed stone or erosion control material). For critical areas, consider engineered fill and drainage improvements to reduce movement over time.
For foundation backfill, avoid organic topsoil and choose a clean, compactable fill or engineered backfill specified by your engineer or local code. Common practice is a granular or low-organic fill placed in controlled lifts and compacted to the required density; soils with high clay or organics are usually unacceptable. Always follow your foundation engineer or building inspector guidance for mix, compaction specs, and testing in Newport.
If used as a buried subbase beneath properly installed stone and pavement, fill dirt does not normally need replenishment for many years or decades. If fill dirt is used as a surface layer without a proper gravel top layer, expect erosion and rutting that may require topping or repair within 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. Regular drainage maintenance and occasional grading extend the life of surfaces with fill dirt.
Crushed stone is generally the better long-term choice for drainage because it is free-draining and resists movement, while fill dirt retains water and can impede drainage. Although fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton, it often leads to more maintenance and may require additional materials to manage water, making crushed stone more cost-effective for true drainage applications. For mixed uses, you can use fill dirt for bulk raising and crushed stone as the drainage layer.
Yes, many Newport contractors and landscapers provide offloading, spreading, and compaction services for bulk fill dirt. Fees vary by job size and equipment; small jobs might incur $100 to $300 for machine time, while larger grading and compaction jobs can run several hundred to a few thousand dollars. Get itemized quotes from local contractors and let Hello Gravel know if you need recommendations or coordination with haulers.
Small landscaping deliveries usually do not require permits, but larger grading, changes to drainage patterns, or work near streams and wetlands often do require permits or approvals. Check with Newport city planning or the county zoning and the local stormwater or watershed authority before major fills; we recommend confirming permit requirements before ordering large quantities. If your site borders a road, ditch, or protected area, also check NCDOT and county rules.
Homeowners in Newport can order bulk fill dirt through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local suppliers and haulers in West North Carolina. Deliveries are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading or assist with offloading at their discretion but services vary by supplier. Use our checkout to check zip code availability, request offloading notes, and call our team if you need help arranging compaction or spreader services.
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.
