Why Stedman Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stedman is a small but growing community with a city population of 5,420 and a reported growth rate of 2.80% annually. Its climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sunny, wet conditions that influence yard drainage and soil stability. That steady growth and comfortable climate mean more homeowners and local contractors are repairing driveways, regrading yards, building patios, and filling low spots. For these projects, reliable aggregates matter: homeowners need materials that compact predictably, resist excessive settling, and work with local soils to keep grades stable and water moving away from homes. Fill Dirt is a practical, economical choice for building grade, backfilling foundations, and raising low areas in Stedman’s variable weather. Because it is typically low in organic material, Fill Dirt helps create a stable base that resists long-term settling when compacted properly—important with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sunny periods that can alternately dry and erode surfaces. Hello Gravel connects Stedman homeowners to local suppliers, arranges delivery by professional dump truck fleets, and offers clear scheduling (standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for qualifying orders). We handle ordering, local sourcing, and logistics so you get the right Fill Dirt in the right amount, on a schedule that fits your project.Popular Projects in Stedman This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stedman Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Stedman.
Delivered prices in the Stedman area vary by supplier and distance, but a common range for fill dirt is roughly $10–$30 per ton as an estimate. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and many local deliveries may have no additional delivery fee, though some suppliers add a fuel or short-haul charge depending on location and access.
Measure the area (length x width) and the depth you want to fill in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. As a quick conversion, one cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2–1.5 tons depending on moisture and compaction, so multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons. For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft area filled 6 inches deep is 100 cubic feet = 3.7 cubic yards ≈ 4.8 tons.
For Stedman’s clay-prone soils, pick clean, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well and does not contain large amounts of roots or organic debris. For driveway subgrade use a structural fill or mix fill dirt with a layer of crushed stone (or use crusher run) for better load-bearing and drainage. If you need engineered performance (retaining walls, deep fills), ask for engineered or compactable fill from a supplier or geotechnical recommendation.
Fill dirt can settle and hold water if it contains a lot of clay, so in Stedman’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains you should expect some movement and slower drainage unless you design for it. Improve performance by compacting in lifts, adding a drainage layer or stone where water must pass, and grading surfaces away from structures. For erosion-prone slopes, combine fill dirt with erosion control measures like fabric, vegetation, or riprap.
Crusher run is usually the best choice for driveway bases because it contains crushed stone and fines that lock together and drain better under traffic. Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grades or filling voids where topgrowth is not needed, and it is generally cheaper than topsoil. Topsoil is for planting — it should not be used as a structural base because it contains organic matter and will compress and wash away.
Small grading jobs and minor yard fills often do not require a permit, but larger grade changes, significant drainage alterations, retaining walls, or driveway work may require town or county permits and inspections. Check with the Town of Stedman and Cumberland County building/permits office before starting projects that change lot drainage or affect neighboring properties. Also confirm any HOA rules that might apply.
Compact fill dirt in thin lifts (about 4–6 inches) using a plate compactor or small roller; do not place thick lifts and expect good compaction. Homeowners can rent a plate compactor for small jobs; contractors commonly use rammers and small vibratory rollers for larger areas. Ask contractors for proof of compaction practice and get several quotes that specify lift thickness and compaction method.
Fill dirt itself is not a wearing surface — its longevity depends on the cover material (gravel, asphalt) and how well it was compacted and drained. Expect initial settlement in the first year and plan on light regrading or adding material (a few inches) after settling; for gravel surfaces you may need to replenish and regrade every few years. Keep drainage clear and avoid concentrated runoff that can erode fills.
Yes, many local suppliers can provide screened (clean, sifted) fill dirt or cheaper unscreened loads that include larger rock and debris. Screened fill dirt typically costs more because it requires processing, while unscreened material is less expensive but may need more work to use in finish-grade areas. Price differences vary by supplier and region, so request quotes for both options when ordering.
Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks with payloads around 10–12 tons; minimum orders are 3 tons and access restrictions (narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, steep slopes) may require smaller trucks or hand-spreading. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Before delivery, mark the drop area, clear obstacles, and add delivery notes for preferred placement and spreading requests.

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.
