Why Tarboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tarboro has a city population of 15,630 and sits within a region seeing steady growth, with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b—supports active outdoor projects and steady residential development. Nearby demand from a metro area population of 2.3+ million is driving more yard renovations, driveway repairs, and foundation work, so homeowners increasingly need reliable materials for grading, raising low spots, and preparing building pads. For these jobs, quality aggregates matter: consistent, low-organic fill reduces settling, compacts well, and speeds project timelines compared with guessing at material quality. Fill dirt is a practical choice for many Tarboro projects because it provides dense, structural mass that helps manage runoff created by the area's 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and seasonal weather swings. Used for backfill, grade changes, and leveling before landscaping or hardscaping, properly sourced fill dirt compacts predictably and minimizes future settling. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers, offers online ordering, a minimum order of 3 tons, and scheduled delivery (standard lead time is 2+ business days with next-day options available), helping Tarboro homeowners get the right fill dirt at the right time without the hassle.Popular Projects in Tarboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tarboro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tarboro.
Delivery costs vary by supplier and distance, but expect roughly $20–$50 per ton delivered for orders in the 1–10 ton range, with a minimum order often 3 tons. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing at checkout and may offer free or reduced delivery in some nearby zones; request a quote for a precise cost.
For Tarboro's sandy to sandy-loam soils, plan about 1.2–1.4 tons of loose fill dirt per cubic yard. Always order an extra 5–10% to account for compaction and settlement during grading.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade and building subgrade but is not recommended as the finished driving surface. For driveways or low-traffic lanes in Tarboro, place compacted fill dirt as a base and cap it with crushed stone, crushed gravel, or asphalt for long-term performance.
Request clean, screened fill dirt with low organic content and minimal roots or debris for yard leveling. Many local suppliers offer "clean fill" or "structural fill" variants that compact better and reduce future settling—ask your Hello Gravel supplier for a screened option.
Avoid placing large fills during Tarboro's rainy summer months when soils are wet and hard to compact. Late spring through early fall in drier windows is best; if work is done in wet seasons, use smaller lifts, more compaction passes, and erosion controls to limit washout.
Local contractors typically use fill dirt to build and raise grades, then switch to crushed stone or crushed aggregate as the structural base for driveways and pavements. For structural or load-bearing layers, contractors in Tarboro often favor crushed stone for its drainage and interlock properties.
When placed in controlled lifts and compacted, expect to achieve target densities near 90–95% of modified Proctor; settlement after placement can still be a few percent. Uncontrolled loose fills can settle more, so compact in 6–12 inch lifts and consider proof-rolling before final surfacing.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers around Tarboro (pop. 15,630) and Edgecombe County; minimum orders commonly start at 3 tons. Delivery is by dump truck (typically tri-axle) with standard 2+ business day lead time and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST at extra cost; tailgate spreading may be available on request but not guaranteed.
Minor yard fills usually do not require permits, but larger projects, fills near floodplains, wetlands, or those that alter drainage or public rights-of-way may need permits or erosion-control plans from Edgecombe County. Check with the Edgecombe County building and planning department before large fills to confirm local regulations and any permit requirements.
Fill dirt used only as a top surface will rut and require periodic regrading—expect more frequent maintenance in wet seasons. If properly compacted and capped with crushed stone, pavers, or asphalt, the base can last many years with routine maintenance like occasional regrading and drainage upkeep.
Order screened, clean fill and buy at least 5–10% extra for compaction and settlement. Schedule deliveries for dry weather when possible, compact in thin lifts, grade for positive drainage away from structures, and keep neighbors and county rules in mind to avoid runoff or permit issues.
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.
