Why Stokesdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stokesdale, with a population of 9,810, sits in a growing West North Carolina region experiencing a 2.80% annual growth rate. That steady expansion, combined with a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates steady demand for homeowner projects like regrading yards, building up driveways, and backfilling foundations after small additions. Homeowners in Stokesdale need reliable aggregates to manage stormwater, stabilize slopes, and create stable pads for sheds and patios. Because local soils and rainfall patterns can lead to settling and erosion, choosing quality fill dirt that compacts predictably and reflects regional geology reduces future repairs and helps projects finish on time. Clear pricing and scheduled delivery are common priorities for local buyers.Popular Projects in Stokesdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stokesdale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Stokesdale.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and material quality, but expect to pay for material plus delivery. In the West North Carolina area around Stokesdale, a rough range is $15 to $40 per ton delivered for basic fill dirt; total cost depends on quantity, truck access, and moisture. Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes for your zip code so you can see material and delivery charges before ordering.
Hello Gravel’s platform requires a 3-ton minimum order, and many local suppliers also set similar minimums. Some yards or contractors may require larger minimums for bulk pricing or local delivery routes, so request a quote to confirm any supplier-specific limits.
Calculate cubic yards first: (area in square feet) x (depth in feet) / 27. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.2 tons, so multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to estimate tons. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 22 tons; local moisture and compaction can change the final weight slightly.
Fill dirt is fine as subgrade material when properly compacted and free of organic matter, but it is not suitable as a finished surface. For driveways and patio bases in clay-prone Stokesdale soils, we recommend using structural fill or compacted fill dirt as a sublayer, topped with crushed stone (such as #57 or crushed stone) to provide drainage and a stable wearing surface. Proper grading and a drainage plan are important to avoid rutting and water pooling on clay sites.
Fill dirt can be used to re-grade low spots and build up slopes, but for erosion control on steep or rainy slopes common in western North Carolina you should combine fill with proper drainage, erosion control mats, vegetation, retaining walls, or terraces. Compaction in lifts and slope stabilization measures are essential to prevent slumping; consult a landscaper or engineer for significant grades.
Fill dirt and crushed stone serve different roles: fill dirt is for building or leveling subgrade and backfill, while crushed stone or #57 stone provides a structural, draining surface ideal for driveways. For a durable driveway in Stokesdale’s climate, use compacted fill dirt to level the area, then install a compacted crushed stone base and a wearing layer of #57 or similar material for drainage and load-bearing performance.
Local rules can apply to foundation backfill and septic systems. Contact the Town of Stokesdale building department and Guilford County (or the relevant county) health and building offices to confirm requirements for compaction, inspections, and approved materials; septic backfill often has specific specs that must be met. If you are unsure, ask our team and we can point you to the right local contacts.
Avoid major earthwork during very wet periods—Stokesdale sees frequent summer thunderstorms—because wet fill is harder to compact and trucks can rut the site. Late spring through early fall are generally best, but mild winters are workable if the ground is not frozen; schedule delivery for dry windows and plan to compact in lifts as weather allows.
For structural uses, compact fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and aim for roughly 90% of standard Proctor density; exact specs depend on your project. For small homeowner jobs a plate compactor or walk-behind roller is usually sufficient; larger jobs typically require a rented vibratory roller or a contractor with a drum roller. Clayey local soils in West North Carolina may need extra passes and moisture control to reach target compaction.
Some local suppliers and contractors offer screening, sorting, or clean fill services, but availability varies by vendor and equipment. Hello Gravel works with local haulers and suppliers—standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is possible if you order before noon CST and a supplier is available; same-day delivery and screening may be available in limited cases, so request it when you get your quote.
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.
