Why Rocky Point Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rocky Point homeowners are seeing steady demand for basic site work and landscaping as the area supports residential growth. With a city population of 11,160 and access to a broader metro area of 2.3+ million, local projects range from small yard regrades to new driveways and foundation backfill. The region’s climate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and a gardening hardiness zone of 8b—means yards experience both wet periods and long sunny stretches, so grading and drainage matter. A 2.80% annual growth rate contributes to more builds, additions, and yard improvements, and homeowners need reliable aggregates to prevent settling, control runoff, and create stable bases for patios, sheds, and driveways. Fill Dirt is often the first material brought in to reshape sites before topsoil and landscaping are added because it provides mass and compaction needed for long‑term stability. In Rocky Point’s environment, Fill Dirt is a practical choice for raising low areas, establishing proper slope for drainage, and providing structural backfill where load‑bearing support is required. Given the annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, correctly placed and compacted fill helps reduce standing water; its dense, low‑organic composition resists excessive settling compared with loose topsoil. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery dates, and local material options that reflect regional soil characteristics. Order online, calculate how much you need, and reach out to our team for guidance tailored to Rocky Point projects.Popular Projects in Rocky Point This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rocky Point Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Rocky Point.
Delivered fill dirt in Rocky Point typically runs about $8 to $18 per ton, which translates to roughly $10 to $22 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Final price depends on supplier, haul distance, job access, and any minimum delivery fees; request a delivered quote for your zip code to get an exact number.
Suppliers near Rocky Point include regional aggregate yards, landscape supply centers and local quarries around Pender County and the Wilmington area; Hello Gravel will match you with nearby providers. Our platform minimum is 3 tons, but some local suppliers or haulers may require 5 to 10 ton minimums or charge a small delivery fee for smaller loads, so check the quote details at checkout.
Volume = area x depth, so 1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet or about 18.5 cubic yards (500 / 27). Using a rule of thumb of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt, that equals roughly 22 to 23 tons; order 5 to 10% extra (about 25 tons) to allow for compaction and settling.
Fill dirt can raise grade and provide structural backfill, but plain fill dirt is not ideal alone for stabilizing expansive clay or managing drainage in rainy coastal areas. For driveways or load-bearing areas you should use engineered or granular material (crushed stone or gravel) with proper compaction, geotextile fabric and surface drainage to avoid washouts and settling in West North Carolina weather.
For driveways, crushed stone or aggregate base is the best choice because it drains and compacts well; fill dirt is meant for raising grade and structural backfill, not as a driveway surface. Topsoil is for planting and will not support traffic. In West NC's rainy climate, combine clean granular base with geotextile and top layers appropriate to the use (stone for driveways, topsoil for planting).
Small backyard fills from a few cubic yards usually do not need a permit, but larger fills, any work in regulated floodplains, wetlands or near public roadways often require local or state permits. Check Pender County Planning and the NC Department of Transportation for driveway cut or road-sight approvals; when in doubt, contact your county planning office before placing large orders.
Contractor fees vary by access, equipment and scope; small residential jobs often run about $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot for basic grading and compaction, or a minimum labor/equipment charge of $300 to $1,500 for small sites. For accurate pricing, get on-site estimates that specify compaction requirements, lift thickness and whether additional materials (gravel, geotextile) are included.
Fill dirt itself does not 'expire,' but newly placed fill will settle over months to a year and may need topping up and regrading. For driveways, using fill dirt without a proper granular base will erode or rut quickly; with a compacted base and good drainage you can expect many years of performance with periodic regrading after storms and occasional adding of material.
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.
