Why Pfafftown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pfafftown homeowners know growth and good weather are shaping local projects: the city population is 12,540 and the broader metro area population is 2.3+ million, with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. Pfafftown's climate — about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — supports active landscaping, new driveways, and yard regrading. That steady development means more demand for reliable aggregates to build level pads, correct grading, and control erosion. Homeowners choose quality materials to ensure proper compaction, lasting drainage, and fewer callbacks during planting or construction.Popular Projects in Pfafftown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pfafftown Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pfafftown.
Prices vary by supplier, truck distance, and order size, but expect delivered fill dirt in the Pfafftown area to generally fall in a range rather than a single number. A good planning estimate is to budget for a per-ton delivered price that can vary by season and load size; contact Hello Gravel to get an instant quote for your zip code and see available local options. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and Hello Gravel lists delivery timing and any extra fees during checkout.
A 20x30 ft area is 600 sq ft. For 4 inches of fill you need about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 9-10 tons), and for 6 inches you need about 11.1 cubic yards (roughly 13-15 tons). Order 10-15% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and small measurement differences.
For driveways in clay-heavy Pfafftown soils, use a clean, low-organic structural or engineered fill as subgrade, not loose topsoil. That fill should be compacted in lifts and then topped with a proper crushed stone or gravel driving surface to provide drainage and load-bearing. Pure fill dirt left as the driving surface will rut and hold water, so consider it only as subgrade.
Contractors typically expect engineered, compacted fill for structural areas and may require compaction testing to meet specs. For foundation support and drainage, many contractors prefer a well-graded gravel base under or adjacent to footings, with compacted structural fill behind walls or under slabs. Always confirm project requirements with your contractor and the county building department before ordering.
The safe timing depends on how the fill is placed and compacted. If placed in proper lifts and compacted to the specified density, light work or temporary driving may be possible within 24-72 hours, but heavy loads and foundations usually require engineering confirmation and time for settlement—often several weeks or following compaction testing. In Pfafftown's freeze-thaw and wet periods, proper compaction in layers is critical to avoid future settling or frost heave.

Use our website to check your zip code, get material pricing, and schedule delivery; minimum orders are 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. If you need help estimating quantities, our material calculator and sales team can assist by phone or chat.
Use crushed stone or drainage-grade gravel for areas where you need water to flow away quickly. Fill dirt tends to retain moisture and does not drain well in Pfafftown's humid climate, so it is best used as backfill while crushed stone is used for swales, French drains, and other drainage features. Combine stone with perforated pipe and geotextile fabric for the best local performance.
Local rules can apply: Forsyth County may require permits for large earthwork or for retaining walls above certain heights, and projects supporting structures usually require compaction verification or engineered fill. Typical requirements call for engineered specifications and compaction testing (often 90-95% relative compaction) when fill supports foundations or significant structures. Check with Forsyth County Building Inspections and your project engineer before ordering material.
If the driveway surface is left as fill dirt it will be short-lived—you should expect rutting, erosion, and vegetation within a season or two in Pfafftown's humid climate. A longer-lasting approach is to use fill dirt only as compacted subgrade, then surface with at least 3-6 inches of crushed stone or gravel; maintain by regrading and adding fresh stone every 1-3 years depending on use and rainfall. Proper drainage and periodic regrading greatly extend performance.
Fill dirt by itself is usually not enough to prevent erosion on slopes in Pfafftown, especially during heavy summer storms. Use engineered fill practices, compaction, retaining structures, erosion control blankets, silt fences, and vegetation to stabilize slopes. For steeper or critical slopes, consult a geotechnical engineer to design proper fill, drainage, and erosion-control measures.
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.
