Why Shallotte Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shallotte has a population of 12,371 and sits in a steadily growing region with a 2.80% annual growth rate, a temperate hardiness zone of 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually. That mix of sun and rain, combined with steady residential growth, means more homeowners are taking on projects that require reliable site preparation: yard regrading, raising low spots, building patios, installing sheds, and creating drainage swales. For these jobs, quality aggregates matter because poorly sourced or poorly placed material leads to settling, poor drainage, and extra work. Homeowners in Shallotte look for fill dirt that compacts well, resists excessive shrink-swell from wet-dry cycles, and provides a stable base for landscaping and light construction. Fill dirt is a practical material for Shallotte’s climate because it helps build grade where native soils are low or unstable and supports proper drainage in areas that receive 34.00 inches of rain annually. Properly screened, locally sourced fill dirt reduces the chance of unwanted organic material that causes future settling and helps create a stable base under patios, walkways, and lawn overlays in a climate with about 228 sunny days per year. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers so you get regionally appropriate fill dirt, clear pricing, scheduled delivery, and the logistics handled from order to drop-off—making it easier to keep projects on schedule and built to last.Popular Projects in Shallotte This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shallotte Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shallotte.
Yes. Hello Gravel can often deliver fill dirt to Shallotte, NC when you check your zip code on our site; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with no extra fee in many areas, but delivery charges depend on local supplier and distance—exact fees appear at checkout. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
For simple yard leveling, a locally sourced clean fill dirt with low organic content is usually sufficient. For driveway bases and septic mound work, contractors often prefer fill with better compaction characteristics or engineered fill (crushed stone or gravel mixed with compactable soil). Because Shallotte sits in a coastal area with sandy native soils and sometimes high groundwater, your project may need a mix designed to compact well and resist washout—ask our team for a site-specific recommendation.
Yes. Through our supplier network we can source compactable fill and engineered fill products for structural needs, although full compaction and testing are usually handled by local contractors. We can deliver materials specified by your engineer or builder, and we can connect you with local suppliers who provide engineered blends. Keep in mind compaction work, testing, and certification are typically separate services beyond material delivery.
Material prices vary by supplier and regional availability; typical delivered fill dirt costs in coastal North Carolina often range from about $10 to $40 per cubic yard, depending on source and quality. Hello Gravel shows exact, upfront pricing at checkout for your Shallotte address and includes delivery fees when applicable. Spreading and compaction are optional add-ons and are usually quoted separately by drivers or local contractors—ask for tailgate spreading at checkout, but note drivers perform it only at their discretion and without guarantees.
Yes, we can source coastal-grade sands and other beach-friendly fills from local suppliers when available. Because coastal projects often require specific grain size, drainage, and salt-tolerance characteristics, tell us your intended use (dune restoration, shoreline access, or landscape fill) and we will try to match an appropriate product. Expect regional variation in color and texture, and check for any local permitting needs before delivery.
Permitting and erosion control requirements depend on the project scope and property location—work near wetlands, marshes, or within certain setbacks may require local permits or erosion control measures. Hello Gravel does not handle permitting, but our team can advise that you check with Shallotte town offices or Brunswick County planning and recommend contacting a local civil engineer or contractor for compliance. We also advise documenting any necessary permits before delivery to avoid project delays.
Expedited delivery is possible; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days. Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not perform grading or on-site compaction as a guaranteed service—those are usually provided by local contractors. We can connect you with local partners who offer grading, compaction, and lot prep recommendations.
Hello Gravel primarily supplies and delivers materials and does not generally provide demolition or soil-removal hauling as part of the standard service. Some local suppliers or contracted haulers in our network may offer removal services—ask our sales team for a quote and availability in Shallotte. If removal is required, provide photos and volume estimates to get faster, more accurate pricing.
Shallotte has sandy native soils and a coastal climate, which means topsoil is important for planting beds and gardens because fill dirt usually lacks organic matter and nutrients. Use fill dirt to raise grades, build pads, or backfill around structures, then cap with 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil for planting. If you plan to grow turf or beds, consider ordering screened topsoil or a topsoil/compost blend rather than straight fill dirt.
Yes. Hello Gravel routinely refers customers to local contractors and suppliers in the Shallotte area for services like compaction, seeding, driveway installation, and site grading. We can suggest contractors based on your project type and help coordinate material delivery with their schedule, but hiring and contracting terms are between you and the local provider. Ask our team for recommendations when you place your order.
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.
