Why Wendell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wendell has a city population of 26,080 and sits inside a steadily growing regional market with a 2.80% annual growth rate, creating steady demand for home improvements and yard work. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in USDA hardiness zone 8b—means properties face both sun-driven drying and periodic heavy rain. That combination increases the need for reliable earthmoving and grading materials to control erosion, improve drainage, and prepare strong bases for patios, driveways, and landscaping. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt to avoid future settling, build consistent grades for runoff, and shorten project timelines compared with importing mixed soils or repeated top-up deliveries. Serving Wendell and the surrounding 2.3+ million metro area, projects range from small yard reshapes to foundation backfill for additions.Popular Projects in Wendell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wendell Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Wendell.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Wendell typically range from about $10 to $35 per ton, or roughly $8 to $25 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Exact pricing depends on supplier, hauling distance from local West North Carolina quarries, and whether you need spreading or tight access delivery. Use Hello Gravel to get an exact delivered quote for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects Wendell customers with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets that deliver fill dirt across West North Carolina. Enter your zip code on our site or call our team (855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734) to get quotes and scheduled delivery dates from nearby haulers. We handle coordination, so you get transparent pricing and delivery windows without calling multiple companies.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324. For Wendell clay soils, convert cubic yards to tons using about 1.3 tons per cubic yard and add 10-15% for settlement and compaction when ordering. Example: raising a 1,000 ft2 area by 2 inches needs about 6.2 yd3 (≈8 tons) before the extra allowance.
Fill dirt is meant for raising grade and structural fill, not for improving drainage. For drainage or areas prone to standing water in Wendell, pair fill dirt with a layer of coarse gravel or install a drainage pipe and slope away from structures. In West North Carolina's occasional freeze-thaw conditions, proper compaction in lifts and using granular base under pavements reduces frost heave and long-term movement.
For pavers and driveways, use a clean, low-organic fill or structural fill capped with a compacted crushed stone base; do not rely on plain fill dirt as the final surface material. For yard leveling, use screened fill dirt or a mix of fill dirt topped with a few inches of topsoil for planting. Specify low-organic content in your Hello Gravel order notes if you need structural fill for hardscape work.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Some local suppliers offer free delivery inside a service area while others charge a short-haul fee; typical local delivery fees often fall between $0 and $150 depending on distance and site access. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
A properly compacted fill dirt base under turf or landscaping can remain stable for many years, but you should expect some settling during the first 6-12 months and plan on light top-up fills. Under driveways or pavers, longevity improves dramatically when the fill is placed in 4-6 inch lifts and combined with a granular base and proper compaction; periodic maintenance may include patching low spots and regrading soil. Check the area after heavy rain and the first winter to catch and fix any settlement early.
Fill dirt is best for raising grade and structural fill where you plan to compact or cover with a finished material; it usually contains fines and some clay and is not good as a finished surface. Crushed stone is superior for driveways and paver bases because it drains and compacts well, while topsoil is for planting and landscaping and contains organic matter. Sand is useful for bedding pavers but offers poor load-bearing for driveways; choose the material based on whether you need drainage, compaction, or plant growth.
Clear at least 25-50 feet of unobstructed access for the dump truck and pick a stable, level spot for the load to be dumped; mark any underground utilities or sprinkler heads and remove vehicles. Check for overhead lines and narrow driveways that could limit truck access and note any HOA or town restrictions about placing material on the public right-of-way. Add delivery notes on your Hello Gravel order with parking instructions and gate codes to avoid delays.
Because materials are regionally sourced, fill dirt color and texture vary across West North Carolina and may not exactly match photos. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes at checkout, and Hello Gravel will pass those preferences to the supplier, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, request a sample pickup or a photo from the supplier before delivery.
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.
