Why South Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Mills has a population of 381 and sits inside a growing West North Carolina region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—supports steady residential development and active yard projects year-round. That steady growth, combined with moderate rainfall, means homeowners and small contractors increasingly need dependable materials for grading, raised beds, driveway bases, and foundation backfill. Quality aggregates reduce future maintenance: properly selected and compacted fill dirt helps prevent settling, supports grading for drainage, and gives a stable base for turf, patios, and structures in South Mills’ mixed soil conditions.Popular Projects in South Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Mills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in South Mills.
Typical delivered prices in the South Mills area usually fall in a range because of local sourcing, distance, and volume. Expect roughly $15 to $40 per ton delivered for common fill dirt, with smaller orders or long hauls at the higher end; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees vary by zip code and supplier.
For South Mills’ coastal plain, look for low-organic, well-graded fill (sandy-clay or clayey sand) that compacts well and sheds water. Avoid topsoil or high-organic mixes; use fill dirt as subgrade material and place a structural stone layer (crusher run or clean stone) on top for driveways.
Measure length x width x desired depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to convert to tons (fill dirt density varies). Add 5 to 10 percent extra for settling and waste; for example, 20 ft x 10 ft x 0.5 ft = 100 / 27 = 3.7 yd3, about 4.4 to 5.2 tons after conversion and allowance.
South Mills has a wet coastal climate rather than severe freeze-thaw, so the main issues are high water table and heavy rains. Proper placement in 6-inch to 8-inch lifts with mechanical compaction reduces long-term settlement; leaving settlement allowances and good drainage are essential to avoid future soft spots.
Use fill dirt to raise grade or backfill where you need bulk material to change elevation, but not as the finished structural surface. For driveways and pavers, install a compacted stone base (crusher run or dense-graded aggregate) over the fill dirt to provide drainage and load support; clean stone is best directly under permeable pavers.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, but many local suppliers prefer full truck loads to keep delivery costs low. Deliveries in the area are by dump truck (typically tri-axle); check access, set a preferred drop location at checkout, and expect standard delivery timing of 2+ business days or next day for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee.
Local rules vary: check Currituck County planning and your HOA covenants before importing large amounts of fill, especially if changing grade or drainage. Moving soil near septic systems or watercourses can require septic authority approval or erosion-control measures, so contact county offices or Hello Gravel’s team for guidance before ordering.
Fill dirt itself will settle and can wash out if left unprotected; it’s not a durable wearing surface. Expect to place a stone base over the compacted fill and perform occasional grading, topping, or re-compacting every few years, especially after heavy storms or spring rains.
Fill dirt can raise grade to improve drainage, but in flood-prone zones it must be used carefully; raising ground without proper drainage can create new runoff or violate floodplain rules. Use engineered fill with compaction, adequate slope, and possibly structural stone or geotextile, and check FEMA maps and local floodplain regulations before filling.
Save by ordering full truck loads, scheduling delivery during dry weather, and consolidating materials to one delivery. Request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion), rent a plate compactor instead of hiring spreading crews, and reuse onsite soils when appropriate to reduce imported material needs.
Clear a stable access path and mark the desired drop point so the driver can place material safely, and check for overhead wires or low branches. Make sure the ground can support a loaded truck, move vehicles out of the way, and add notes at checkout about access constraints so the hauler can plan the delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
