Why Southern Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Southern Shores has a city population of 2,700 and sits within a larger regional market that includes a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, homeowners here are actively building and improving yards, driveways, and outdoor living spaces. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round projects but also creates demand for materials that manage moisture and settling. For many Southern Shores homeowners, quality Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice when raising grades, creating level pads for sheds and patios, or preparing a stable base for landscaping features. Good Fill Dirt reduces future settling, improves compaction, and helps keep soil-moving projects on schedule as the area continues to develop. In Southern Shores' climate, Fill Dirt plays a key role in drainage and long-term stability. Properly placed, low-organic Fill Dirt can help move water away from foundations, provide a firm base under hardscapes, and limit erosion during rainy periods. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers who source regionally appropriate Fill Dirt, coordinate professional truck delivery, and offer straightforward scheduling—standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option available for qualifying orders. We make it easier to get the right Fill Dirt on site so your project stays on track.Popular Projects in Southern Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Southern Shores Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Southern Shores.
Total cost depends on the amount ordered, truck access, and whether you need spreading. Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days with optional next-day service for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion for an additional charge. For an accurate delivered price including any spreading fees, request a quote through our website or call our sales team.
Prices change with local supply, haul distance, and season, so published rates can vary. In the Outer Banks market, delivered fill dirt commonly falls roughly in the $20 to $50 per cubic yard range, but you should request a personalized quote to get the exact per-yard price for your address and delivery conditions.
Fill dirt is generally less expensive than crushed stone, but it is not a good final surface for driveways. For driveway base use crush-and-run or crushed stone for strength and drainage, and use fill dirt when you need to raise grade or fill voids; if you plan to plant, put screened topsoil on top of fill dirt for a good growing medium.
Quantity depends on driveway footprint and desired depth: a 1-car driveway usually needs about 2 to 6 cubic yards depending on width and depth, while a 2-car driveway commonly needs about 4 to 12 cubic yards. Hello Gravel can deliver the material to your site, and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but full grading and compaction are typically contractor services and are not guaranteed as part of delivery.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which is smaller than a typical truckload but may not cover large projects. Some suppliers can do partial loads or split deliveries depending on availability, but additional fees may apply for split loads or special routing; contact our team to check options and exact costs for your location.
Southern Shores and other Outer Banks communities often have local rules about dune work, elevation changes, and materials brought into coastal zones, and some HOAs may have their own restrictions. Hello Gravel can provide delivery documentation and help coordinate with suppliers, but customers should check town planning, county permitting, and HOA rules before ordering; obtaining permits is generally the customer's responsibility.
Narrow streets, soft sand, low clearances, and seasonal beach access rules can limit truck size and where material can be offloaded. Drivers will assess safe offload locations on arrival and may charge extra for smaller trucks, longer offload distances, hand labor, or re-routing; please note these conditions when requesting a quote so we can plan the right equipment.
If you need to raise yard elevation for flood resilience, use clean structural fill dirt compacted in lifts, then cap with screened topsoil for plantings. For areas exposed to salt and needing good drainage, incorporate crushed stone or a drainage layer beneath planting zones or hard surfaces, and choose salt-tolerant plants; if you are unsure, we can help you pick the right combination for your site.
Local dump trucks commonly used for our deliveries (tri-axle) typically carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards loose, but truck sizes vary by supplier. We will confirm truck type and approximate quantity when you request a quote so you know how many truckloads your project will require.
Check availability by entering your zip code on our site, use the material calculator to estimate quantity, and request a delivery date in checkout. If you have site access issues, HOA rules, or permit questions, call our sales team before ordering so we can coordinate equipment and provide an accurate quote for your property.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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.
