Why Selma Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Selma is a city with a city population of 16,150 located within a metro area of 2.3+ million and is experiencing steady development tied to a 2.80% annual growth rate. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and the area sits in hardiness zone 8b—conditions that support active landscaping and ongoing residential projects. As new builds, yard renovations, and drainage fixes become common, homeowners need reliable aggregates to properly grade sites, fill low spots, and prepare subgrades. Quality fill dirt is often requested because it creates a stable base and helps control settlement and erosion for patios, driveways, and garden beds. Fill dirt is a dense, low-organic material used to add volume and support beneath finished soils and structures. In Selma’s mix of sun and rain, compactable fill dirt helps raise grades above wet areas, reduce erosion on slopes, and provide a firm base that resists settling when placed and compacted correctly. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers so the delivered fill dirt reflects the region’s geology and performs as expected. We manage ordering, scheduling, and dump-truck delivery so you receive the right material on a date that fits your project timeline.Popular Projects in Selma This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Selma Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Selma.
Price depends on volume, local supplier rates, hauling distance, and site access. Hello Gravel shows upfront quotes for your zip code; minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees (if any) will appear at checkout. For a firm number, request a quote on our site or call our team and include delivery address and approximate cubic yards required.
Fill dirt is subsoil with few or no organic materials used to raise or level ground rather than support plant growth. Use it to build up low spots, backfill trenches, or set final grade before topping with topsoil or a structural base. In Selma it is commonly used to correct yard drainage and prepare sites for patios, sheds, or utilities.
Fill dirt usually compacts well when placed in thin lifts and mechanically compacted; proper compaction reduces settling. For driveways you should use compacted fill as a subgrade, but most contractors will place engineered base (crusher run or gravel) over compacted fill for structural support. In West North Carolina's climate, compacting when material is near optimal moisture improves long-term performance.
Fill dirt tends to be fine-grained (silt and clay with some sand) and is fine for general grading and raising finished levels. It is not the best choice as a driveway base; for patios and driveways order a coarser aggregate like crusher run or base stone for the structural layer. If you need both, order fill dirt for bulk raising and a crushed stone product for the load-bearing base.
Measure length x width x depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards (cy). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons for fill dirt (this is an approximate conversion that varies with moisture and local material). Example: 50 ft x 20 ft x 0.5 ft = 18.5 cy, which is roughly 24 tons; always round up and confirm with Hello Gravel for a precise quote.
Small grading and minor fills usually do not require a permit, but larger earthwork, changes that affect drainage, work near a floodplain, or projects tied to septic systems often require permits or erosion control measures. Check with the Town of Selma Planning and Zoning or Johnston County building department before ordering bulk fill for substantial site changes. When in doubt, contact local authorities to avoid code or drainage issues.
Wet summers and freeze-thaw cycles can slow compaction, increase settling, and cause erosion if fill is placed during muddy conditions. Schedule major fills during drier months or stable weather windows, and use erosion control (straw, silt fence) on slopes until the surface is stabilized. Proper compaction in layers and good drainage will reduce winter freeze-thaw damage.
Fill dirt is for raising grade and filling voids but has little organic matter, so it is not good for planting. Topsoil is for lawns and gardens because it supports plant growth. Sand improves drainage and bedding but does not compact for load-bearing uses, while crushed stone is the right choice for structural bases under driveways and patios. Choose fill dirt for bulk volume, topsoil for vegetation, and crushed stone for strength.
Yes, our network delivers by dump truck (typically tri-axle), but access limitations can affect placement and may require additional labor to move material. Note any tight access, overhead wires, or restricted turns in the Order Notes and consider requesting tailgate spreading (driver discretion). If access is very limited, ask our team for delivery options so we can coordinate the best approach.
Confirm the delivery address and placement location, check for obvious site obstacles, and compare the delivered quantity to your order or ticket. Inspect the material for expected appearance (no large debris) and take photos if something seems wrong; if you requested spreading, the driver will assess safety before proceeding. Contact Hello Gravel promptly if there is a concern so we can help resolve it.
Contractors often order by the ton or cubic yard and provide project addresses for delivery scheduling; Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery lead time of 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Bulk pricing varies by volume and supplier, so larger orders usually get better per-ton rates; contact our sales team to arrange regular deliveries or long-term supply for a job.
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.
