Hello Gravel partners with local NH suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers that serve Concord and the Manchester metro; we can arrange delivery and connect you with local contractors who spread material. If you need spreading, request it at checkout and confirm with the driver — spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and may incur an extra fee.

Fill-dirt is usually compacted in lifts (6 to 8 inches loose thickness) to at least 90–95% of standard Proctor density when used for building pads or under pavement. For frost-prone areas, use well-graded, low-organic fill or replace the top layers with granular base stone; consider compaction testing for any structural or paved surface to reduce settling and heave risk.

Fill-dirt with fines and moisture is prone to settling and frost heave in New Hampshire winters because it holds water and freezes. To reduce problems, provide positive drainage, avoid bringing in organic or high-clay fill, and place a granular base or geotextile under pavements and critical grades. For driveways and foundations, engineered structural fill or crushed stone is usually a better long-term choice than plain fill-dirt.

To calculate material: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For 6 inches (0.5 ft) multiply square feet by 0.5 then divide by 27, or simply divide square feet by 54. As a rule of thumb use about 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard for typical fill-dirt in this region; for example, 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches is about 18.5 yd3 and roughly 22–26 tons.

Permitting depends on the scope and location of your work. Small residential deliveries for grading or filling a yard often do not require a permit, but projects that change lot grades, affect drainage, involve driveways, or are near wetlands may need a permit or approval from the City of Concord Building or Public Works departments. Check with local authorities before ordering large volumes and contact Hello Gravel if you want help documenting quantities for permit applications.

Fill-dirt is inexpensive bulk earth best for general grading and raising low spots, but it is not engineered for load-bearing or drainage. Crushed stone provides strength and drainage for driveway bases and under slabs; bank-run is a mixed natural gravel useful for some subgrades but less consistent; engineered structural fill or compacted granular base is recommended for driveways, foundations, and areas exposed to freeze–thaw. Use fill-dirt only where final surface and drainage design tolerate some settlement.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, with regional suppliers sometimes setting their own minimums or truck minimums. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout and may carry an additional fee and is always at the driver's discretion; heavy winter weather and frozen ground can limit spreading and availability, so plan deliveries for milder months or contact our team to discuss timing and options.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
