Why Unionville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Unionville is a growing community of 60,000 residents experiencing steady expansion at about 2.80% annually. With a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b—local yards and development balance wet-season drainage needs with long dry spells. That steady growth drives demand for reliable bulk materials: new foundations, raised beds, driveway rebuilds, retaining walls, and general grading all require large volumes of inert fill rather than topsoil. Homeowners seek clean, consistent material that compacts predictably, avoids organic matter that decomposes, and supports proper drainage to limit settling and erosion. Contractors and DIYers prefer suppliers who can deliver measured tons on schedule and provide guidance on compaction, lift thickness, and drainage for lasting results.Popular Projects in Unionville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Unionville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Unionville.
In Unionville, fill dirt usually runs about $12 to $22 per ton delivered, depending on supplier, distance, and material quality. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; many orders include free delivery, but next-day or long-haul deliveries may have an extra fee. For an accurate quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our team.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who source regional fill dirt for Unionville projects. Our minimum order is 3 tons; for larger jobs you may order a full dump truck (typically 10 to 16 tons), so we will match you with a supplier that fits your quantity needs.
For under a driveway, use compactable, low-organic fill dirt as subgrade material, then install a crushed-stone base for the driving surface — fill dirt alone is not a good finished surface. Behind retaining walls, avoid using high-clay fill directly against the wall; use free-draining granular backfill (gravel or crushed stone) and a drain pipe to reduce hydrostatic pressure.
In West North Carolina, seasonal freeze-thaw and heavy rain can affect unprotected fill dirt, especially clay-rich material that can shrink and swell or hold water. Proper compaction in lifts, good surface grading, and installing drainage (French drains, perforated pipe, or granular backfill) reduce settlement and erosion risks in the region's climate.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (square feet x inches) / 324. Convert to tons using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt (tons = cubic yards x 1.3). Example: a 20x30 area at 6 inches needs roughly 11.1 cu yd x 1.3 = about 14.5 tons; order 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Most suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 16 tons (about 10 to 14 cubic yards) of fill dirt; smaller local trucks are sometimes available for tighter access. Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee; drivers may tailgate spread at their discretion but this is not guaranteed.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade under lawns or patios but is not suitable as planting or topsoil because it usually lacks organic matter and nutrients. For lawns and gardens, place 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil over compacted fill dirt, and test soil if you plan to grow plants or vegetables.
Work in uniform lifts (6 to 8 inches) and compact each layer to reduce future settling, keep material moisture close to ideal for compaction, and call 811 before digging. Also plan drainage before finishing and avoid using fill dirt with visible organic material around foundations or retaining walls to prevent long-term settling.
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.
