Why Pikeville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pikeville is a city of 11,960 residents experiencing steady growth (2.80% annually) and sits in a moderate climate with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b. That combination of steady development and a hospitable climate is driving homeowner demand for reliable site work and yard remodeling—everything from raising low yards and building level pads for sheds to fixing erosion after heavy rains. Homeowners in expanding communities often need materials that simplify grading, reduce settling, and provide a stable base for driveways, patios, and landscape beds, which is why quality fill materials are in regular demand across the metro area of 2.3+ million people and surrounding neighborhoods.Popular Projects in Pikeville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pikeville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pikeville.
Delivery costs vary by supplier, distance from local pits, driveway access, and how much you order. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers many free deliveries regionally; for a precise price, get a quote through our site using your Pikeville zip code and requested tonnage. Expect additional fees for difficult access, next-day delivery, or optional spreading services.
For driveway bases in Pikeville, choose low-organic, well-graded fill dirt (often called structural or engineered fill) that compacts well. Fill dirt should be used as a compacted subgrade and topped with 3/4" crushed stone or quarry process for a durable wearing surface. Local contractors often specify lifts and compaction testing when the base will carry vehicles.
Pikeville and West North Carolina typically get moderate to heavy seasonal rain, so drainage and compaction matter more here than in dry climates. Wet conditions can make poorly draining fill settle or heave, so use well-graded fill, pRoper slope away from structures, and plan for surface or subsurface drainage. Ask suppliers about moisture content and avoid placing very wet fill during rainy periods.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1000 ft2 × 0.5 ft = 500 ft3; 500/27 = 18.5 yd3). Fill dirt typically weighs between 1.1 and 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction, so plan roughly 20 to 28 tons. Order at least 5–10% extra for compaction and settling, so round up to about 20–32 tons.
Yes. Local contractors in the Pikeville area typically compact fill in lifts (commonly 4–6 inches) with a plate compactor or roller and verify compaction for any structural pad or foundation. PRoper compaction and moisture control reduce settlement; for building foundations, follow engineer or building department specs and consider compaction testing.
Fill dirt by itself is not an ideal wearing surface for heavy vehicle traffic because it can rut, dust, and settle, especially after rain. It performs best as a compacted subgrade beneath a structural gravel or crushed-stone surface that distributes loads and resists erosion. For driveways and heavy-use pads, use engineered fill below a crushed stone wearing layer.
Crushed stone or rock armoring is generally better for active erosion control on slopes because it stabilizes the surface and slows runoff. Fill dirt can be used to reshape slopes, but it must be compacted and combined with erosion-control measures (mulch, seed, geotextile) or stone check dams to prevent wAshouts. For steep or high-flow areas in Pikeville, contractors often recommend rock or seeded turf with erosion blankets rather than loose fill alone.
Many Pikeville-area suppliers and haulers deliver fill dirt and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Hello Gravel lets you request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed; additional spreading fees vary by supplier and job complexity and are quoted per order. For an accurate cost, request a delivery quote and note access, spread area, and any obstacles.
Yes. Adding fill dirt can change surface runoff patterns and may direct water toward buildings or neighboring pRoperties, and it can interfere with septic drain fields. Before large fill projects, check site grades and avoid placing fill over septic components; consult the Wayne County health department or a local engineer if you have a septic system or are changing grades near pRoperty lines.
Permit requirements depend on the project size and location. Small landscaping deliveries usually do not need permits, but large grading, altering drainage, or filling wetlands often requires clearance from Wayne County or sTate agencies. Contact Pikeville town offices and Wayne County building and planning departments before importing large volumes to confirm any permit, erosion-control, or drainage requirements.
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.
