Frequently Asked Questions - northkannapolis Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in northkannapolis.
Fill dirt is soil (usually subsoil) used to raise grades, level yards, or fill holes; it is not designed as a finished surface. In North Kannapolis projects use fill dirt for grading, raising low spots, backfilling foundations, and utility trenches. For driveways or areas needing good drainage and load-bearing capacity, use a granular base (crusher run or crushed stone) on top of or instead of fill dirt.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (500 cubic feet). That converts to roughly 24 to 28 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. Always order 5-10% extra to allow for settlement and spreading losses.
Delivered prices vary by source, screening, truck access, and distance, but a typical range in the Charlotte-Concord area is about $10 to $35 per cubic yard (roughly $8 to $30 per ton). Heavily screened or select "clean" fill and short-notice deliveries or next-day service may cost more. Hello Gravel can provide local quotes and delivery options for your zip code.
Screened fill dirt (finer, fewer rocks) is best for grading near lawns, planting beds, and around foundations because it compacts more evenly. Bank-run or unscreened fill is cheaper and fine for rough fills or large volume fills but may contain rocks that make grading and compaction harder. For driveways, avoid using plain fill dirt as the base surface; use crusher run or crushed stone on top of compacted fill or instead of fill for a stable, long-lasting surface.
North Kannapolis soils often contain clay that holds moisture and can be slow to drain, which makes compaction trickier and increases settlement risk after heavy rain. Achieve reliable compaction by installing fill in thin, well-compacted lifts and by adding drainage layers or stone where needed. Schedule deliveries and compaction during drier weather when possible to reduce moisture-related issues.
Small residential landscaping fills usually do not require a permit, but any grading that changes drainage, affects neighboring properties, involves retaining walls, or impacts stormwater may require a permit from the City of Kannapolis or Cabarrus County. Septic systems and structural fills often have specific rules and inspections; check with Kannapolis Building and Inspections or Cabarrus County before placing large or structural fill. When in doubt, contact local permitting offices or Hello Gravel for guidance before ordering.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts for hand-compacted work and up to 6 to 8 inch lifts when using vibratory rollers or plate compactors. Each lift should be compacted to a specified density (often 90-95% of maximum dry density for structural work) and tested if required. For driveways, contractors usually follow fill with a 4-6 inch compacted layer of crusher run or crushed stone as the structural base to improve drainage and load distribution.
Hello Gravel arranges deliveries across the Charlotte-Concord area and can connect you with local suppliers and haulers who may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Spreading and compaction are often available from local contractors rather than guaranteed by the driver; request spreading at checkout and confirm with your supplier if you need dedicated spreading or compaction services. If you need help finding local crews, contact Hello Gravel sales for recommendations and quotes.
Fill dirt is fine-grained soil good for raising grade and filling, but it does not shed water well and will rut under traffic, so it is not recommended as a driveway surface. Crusher run or crushed stone is engineered to compact tightly, drain better, and resist frost heave and rutting—making it the preferred base and surface layer for driveways and erosion control in our climate. In many North Kannapolis projects you will use fill dirt to adjust grade and then place crusher run on top where durability and drainage are required.

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.
