Gravel: Mountain-Ready Drainage And Traction • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Available
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Cullowhee Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a population of 5,370, Cullowhee is a compact mountain community experiencing steady regional growth of about 2.80% annually. The area averages 228 sunny days per year, receives 34.00 inches of rain annually, and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b—conditions that directly shape landscaping and construction needs. Sloped lots, seasonal runoff, and local soil types create steady demand for durable aggregates that control erosion, improve drainage, and stabilize surfaces. Gravel is a frequent homeowner choice because it sheds water, resists rutting when properly graded, and integrates well with locally sourced stone, reducing maintenance on driveways, paths, and drainage swales. Both DIYers and contractors rely on selecting the right size and angularity to make projects perform on Cullowhee’s terrain and climate.Popular Projects in Cullowhee This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cullowhee gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cullowhee.
Typical delivered gravel prices around Cullowhee vary by material and haul distance; expect roughly $35 to $85 per ton for common gravels (clean crushed stone, #57, and pea gravel). Washed stone, specialty colors, steep-site deliveries, or small orders can be push pricing toward the high end. Use our checkout to see exact local quotes and note that Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum on most orders.
For driveways on Cullowhee properties, angular crushed stone like #57 or 3/4" minus (crushed stone with fines) gives good interlock and compaction for traction. On steeper slopes use larger, angular base stone (1" to 2") for stability and a top layer of #57 or 3/4" clean stone for drainage; avoid smooth pea gravel on steep driveways because it shifts easily. Local suppliers may offer regionally common blends that work well with local soils and rainfall patterns.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy seasonal rain in western NC can cause settling, washouts, and potholes if a gravel surface lacks a compacted base and good drainage. Plan for a properly graded base, geotextile where needed, and adequate crown or swales to shed water; expect spot maintenance (adding and regrading material) every 1-3 years depending on traffic. Regular inspections after heavy rains and a quick repair of ruts will extend the life of the surface.
Full installation costs in the Cullowhee area typically run about $3 to $8 per square foot, depending on site access, slope, existing subgrade, and required base depth. That range covers grading, adding a compacted base layer, and top gravel; difficult mountain sites or long haul distances can push costs higher. For a precise estimate, request a local contractor quote or order material through Hello Gravel and ask for recommended installers.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers that serve western North Carolina; availability varies by zip code and season. Most suppliers that work our network have a 3-ton minimum, and some may offer free delivery within a certain radius while remote or steep deliveries may have a surcharge. Use our site to check delivery availability to your Cullowhee address and see exact minimums and delivery fees for each supplier.
Using a typical conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, 100 sq ft requires roughly 0.8 tons at 2", about 1.2 tons at 3", and about 1.6 tons at 4". These are estimates—actual tons vary by gravel density and type, so use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or round up to account for compaction and settling. Remember our 3-ton minimum when planning small resurfacing jobs.
For erosion control on steep slopes, use larger angular stone (1" to 3" crushed rock or riprap) placed with erosion control fabric and proper terracing or check dams. For French drains and subsurface drainage in western NC, use clean washed stone or crushed stone (typically 3/4" to 1-1/2") that allows water through but resists clogging; avoid fine materials like sand or pea gravel directly around perforated pipe. Always pair stone with geotextile filter fabric and consider a local engineer or contractor for steep-site designs.
Some Cullowhee-area HOAs, historic districts, or county subdivisions may limit surface materials, edge treatments, or stone color and size, so check your HOA covenants and Jackson County planning rules before ordering. County regulations may also address driveway curb cut standards, drainage, and erosion control for steeper lots. If you are unsure, contact your HOA or local permitting office and consult Hello Gravel’s support for material recommendations that meet common local expectations.
Hello Gravel delivers by contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle, and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST with a fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout, but understand there are no guarantees and steep or tight sites may prevent spreading. For precise placement on steep or constrained properties, plan for professional spreading or additional labor.
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.
