Why North Wilkesboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
North Wilkesboro homeowners should know their city has a city population of 26,360 and sits inside a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a metro growth rate of 2.80% annually. That steady growth, together with North Wilkesboro's moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall near 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—drives steady demand for site work, grading, and yard renovations. Whether preparing a base for a new patio, building up low spots, or backfilling after utility work, homeowners need reliable, locally sourced aggregates.

Frequently Asked Questions - North Wilkesboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in North Wilkesboro.
Prices vary by supplier, amount, and delivery distance, but fill dirt in the North Wilkesboro area typically runs roughly $10 to $35 per ton plus delivery fees. Hello Gravel shows exact local pricing when you enter your zip code and offers transparent quotes; minimum orders Start at 3 tons. Ask for a delivered quote to see carrier and fuel surcharges for your specific address.
For raising or leveling a driveway we recommend a clean, compactable fill (low organic content, free of debris) to bring grade up, followed by a structural base like crusher run or recycled concrete for the driving surface. Pure fill dirt is not a good wearing surface because it holds moisture and can rut; use it under a compacted gravel base for best results. In West North Carolina's clay soils, proper compaction and drainage are especially important.
Raising 1,000 square feet by 3 inches equals about 250 cubic feet or roughly 9.3 cubic yards. Most fill dirt weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so you should plan on approximately 11 to 14 tons; a typical estimate is about 12 tons. Order an extra 10% to account for settling and compaction.
Fill dirt can work, but North Wilkesboro's local clay and seasonal freeze–thaw cycles can cause shifting and moisture retention if the wrong material or poor compaction is used. Use clean, low-organic structural fill, compact it in lifts, and provide good surface drainage or a granular cap to reduce frost heave and wet spots. For building pads or driveways, consider engineered fill or a gravel base for better long-term performance.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers around North Wilkesboro and can arrange dump-truck delivery directly to your site. We work with local haulers and have a 3-ton minimum order; standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Enter your zip code on our site or call our team to get material options and a delivered price.
Compacted fill dirt is useful to build up grade under a patio, but the immediate base under pavers should be a clean, well-graded granular material (crushed stone or bedding sand) for drainage and stability. Use compacted fill to set the overall elevation, then add a compacted crushed-stone base before laying pavers. This approach reduces settling and moisture problems common in local clay soils.
Lifespan depends on traffic, drainage, and how well the material was compacted; light residential use with good drainage may go 3 to 7 years before needing regrading or topping. Heavy vehicle traffic, poor drainage, or uncompacted fills can require maintenance every 1 to 3 years. Regular grading, adding a gravel driving surface, and fixing drainage will extend service life.
Yes—fill dirt is commonly used to regrade yards and create positive slopes away from structures, but order a clean, low-organic structural fill (sometimes called 'engineered fill' or 'clean fill') so it compacts predictably. Combine regrading with swales, French drains, or gravel-filled trenches where needed to move water away from foundations. Always check elevations before delivery and ask drivers to place material where crews can spread and compact it.
Recycled concrete (crush-and-run) usually provides a more stable, well-draining driveway base and is more cost-effective long term because it compacts well and requires less frequent maintenance. Fill dirt is cheaper upfront for raising grade but is not a durable surface under traffic and will likely need a gravel cap later. For a lower-maintenance driveway in local clay soils, plan on recycled concrete or crusher run for the base.
Local rules vary: small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but large-volume imports, commercial projects, or changes that affect drainage or erosion control may trigger town or county permits. Contact the Town of North Wilkesboro planning or Wilkes County planning office to confirm requirements, and check any HOA rules that may apply. If you’re unsure, Hello Gravel’s team can help confirm delivery logistics while you check local regulations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
