Why Cary Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cary, with a population of 160,530, sits inside a rapidly growing region that is driving steady demand for residential construction and landscaping. With a regional metro population of 1.4+ million and an annual growth rate of 2.50%, more homeowners are renovating yards, adding hardscapes, and investing in drainage and curb appeal upgrades. Cary’s temperate Piedmont setting—characterized by 213/year sunny days, 46.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 7b—creates a need for a range of durable bulk materials. Homeowners and contractors here rely on properly graded aggregates, engineered base materials, quality topsoil, sand, and organic mulches to manage runoff, support plantings, and build long-lasting patios and driveways. Because regional sourcing affects color and texture, choosing the right specification for compaction, drainage, and longevity matters more here than in climates with less seasonal variability.Popular Projects in Cary This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cary Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cary.
For most medium to large jobs, bulk delivery is usually cheaper per cubic yard than buying many bags, but it depends on material and transport. Consider storage space, ease of handling, and the minimum order (Hello Gravel typically requires 3 tons) when deciding between bagged and bulk.
Prices vary by material type, local supply, and current market conditions in the Raleigh-Durham area, so exact costs fluctuate. The fastest way to get a price is to enter your zip code and request a quote online or contact the team for a local estimate.
Essentials include a measuring tape, wheelbarrow, rake, shovel, gloves, and compacting tool; edging and landscape fabric are helpful for many installations. Specific projects may also require geotextile fabric, drainage pipe, or a plate compactor, so plan based on the job scope.
Yes. Hello Gravel’s online platform connects you with local suppliers, lets you pick delivery dates, and accepts secure payment so you can order bulk materials online for Cary-area delivery.
It depends on material density, but a rough rule is one cubic yard equals about 40 to 60 40-pound bags for many loose materials. Use the material calculator on the site for a more precise conversion based on the material you select.
Some full-size pickup beds can carry about one cubic yard by volume, but payload capacity (weight limit) is the limiting factor and varies by truck. For larger jobs or heavier materials, bulk delivery by dump truck is safer and often required given Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.
Organic materials like mulch can sometimes attract insects or rodents if piled next to a structure, while inorganic materials such as gravel or sand are much less likely to do so. To reduce risk, keep organic mulch away from foundation lines and follow common landscaping best practices.
Spring and fall are often best for landscaping projects in Cary because soils are workable and plants establish well, but avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain or saturated ground. Check local weather forecasts and pick a dry window to make spreading and compaction easier.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet and use this formula: cubic yards = (length x width x depth in inches) / 324. You can also use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact the team for help adjusting for compaction and coverage.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival and may decline if conditions aren’t suitable.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select your preferred delivery date during checkout, subject to local availability.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. The team will make a best effort to accommodate requests, but some changes may not be possible once trucks are scheduled.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, texture and color can vary based on local geology and quarry practices in the Raleigh-Durham area. Expect natural variations and note any color or finish preferences in your order notes.
Hello Gravel generally requires a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers bulk materials using professional dump trucks, often tri-axle units. If you have limited access or weight-restricted surfaces, mention that in your order so the supplier and driver can plan accordingly.
Avoid underordering—account for compaction and uneven areas by ordering a little extra, and clear driveways and overhead obstructions before delivery. Also check weight limits on paved surfaces and provide clear access instructions to prevent delays on delivery day.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
