Why Pelham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pelham has a city population of 2,630 and sits in a region experiencing steady development, with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and the area falls in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of growth and moderate climate is driving home projects—lot grading, driveway rebuilds, foundation backfill, and landscape renovations—that all need reliable bulk materials. Homeowners in Pelham look for quality aggregates to ensure pRoper drainage, stable grades, and long-lasting beds for lawns and hardscapes. Clean, compactable fill dirt is a go-to for raising low spots, creating stable subgrades, and protecting structures from water pooling during seasonal rains.Popular Projects in Pelham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pelham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pelham.
Delivery costs vary by distance from the supplier, load size, and route in the West North Carolina area. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing during checkout and has a 3-ton minimum; standard delivery often takes 2+ business days and next-day service (for orders placed before noon CST) may have an extra fee. Many customers in Pelham often see free or low-cost delivery for short hauls, but get a quote for an exact price.
Yes — many local haulers and contractors in the West North Carolina area deliver fill dirt and some will offer tailgate spreading. Hello Gravel coordinates with regional suppliers and truck fleets; you can request spreading at checkout but drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. For guaranteed spreading, ask for contractor referrals or arrange for a local landscaper to spread and compact after delivery.
Pelham pRoperties can experience clayey soils and seasonal heavy rainfall, which affect drainage and compaction. For areas that need good drainage or will carry loads (driveways, building pads), choose fill dirt blended with sand or crushed stone or use engineered fill to reduce settling. If you are unsure, order a small test load or consult a local supplier or contractor to match the fill to your yard's conditions.
Permit rules vary by town and county in West North Carolina; small residential deliveries are often allowed without a permit, but major grading, driveway reconstruction, or work near wetlands and regulated streams may require permits and erosion controls. Check with Pelham town offices or the county planning department before large fills, and contact Hello Gravel if you need help identifying the right local agency.
As a rule of thumb, a loose yard of fill dirt delivered is roughly 1.0 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, while compacted fill typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. Exact numbers depend on moisture content and soil composition, so use these ranges for estimates and confirm with your supplier when ordering by tons or cubic yards.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy seasonal rain in this region can cause settling, heaving, and erosion if the fill is not pRoperly compacted and drained. To improve longevity, compact the fill in layers, install pRoper drainage (swales or pipes), and protect exposed slopes with erosion control and vegetation. Regular maintenance after storms helps spot and fix settlement before it becomes a bigger issue.
For raised beds, local contractors typically recommend screened topsoil, a blended planting mix, or garden soil with compost rather than straight fill dirt because fill dirt lacks organic matter and does not support plant growth. For structural needs (driveway bases or grade changes) they may use crusher run, gravel, or engineered fill for better compaction and drainage. Choose material based on whether the priority is planting performance or load-bearing stability.
Common backyard leveling jobs are often 1 to 10 cubic yards, small driveway base projects are typically 10 to 40 cubic yards depending on area and depth, and larger grading can run 50+ cubic yards. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; use a material calculator or provide project dimensions (length, width, depth) to estimate cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2–1.4 to convert to tons for local planning.
Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, mark any below-ground utilities by calling 811, and identify an accessible dumping spot for a tri-axle truck to approach and leave space to turn. Protect driveways and landscaping if trucks must cross them, add plywood or temporary mats where needed, and note in order notes if you need the driver to avoid certain areas or attempt tailgate spreading.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, fill dirt delivered in Pelham may vary in color, clay content, and the amount of small stones or organic inclusions. Suppliers often offer screened (finer) or unscreened fill dirt; screened material is cleaner but typically costs more. If you have a preference for texture or need engineered fill, note that in your order or ask our team for supplier options.
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.
