Gravel: Drainage For Sunny, Rainy Climates • Next-Day Gravel Delivery From Local Experts
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 Rutherford College Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rutherford College is a small but active community (population 1,219) within West North Carolina that is seeing steady local demand for home improvements. With a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain per year in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners are investing in driveways, patios, erosion control, and drainage upgrades. That combination of growth and seasonal rainfall increases the need for reliable aggregates that create stable, low-maintenance surfaces. Quality gravel provides an effective base for pavers, firm walking surfaces for yard renovations, and a simple solution for channeling water away from foundations while reflecting the regional geology homeowners want to match. Gravel suits Rutherford College projects because it promotes infiltration, resists rutting, and reduces mud compared with bare soil under the area’s alternating sun and rain. A well-graded crushed gravel mix works for driveways, French drains, and landscape bases, while regional sourcing means color and texture fit local yards. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers, offers transparent pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery (minimum 3 tons), and tools like a material calculator to help pick the right type and quantity for your project.Popular Projects in Rutherford College This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rutherford College gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rutherford College.
A full tri-axle dump truck in our region typically carries about 12-14 tons, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Delivered gravel prices around Rutherford College commonly range from about $30 to $75 per ton depending on type (pea, crushed stone, river rock) and local availability, so a full truck can range roughly $360 to $1,050 before taxes and fees. For an exact price for your address, check your zip code on our site or request a quote—regional sourcing and delivery distance drive the final cost.
You can source gravel locally through Hello Gravel, which connects you with suppliers and haulers serving Rutherford College and nearby towns like Lenoir and Hickory, and larger yards in Charlotte for specialty materials. Use our online checkout to check availability by zip code, see upfront pricing, and schedule delivery; many local suppliers also offer stockpiles if you want to pick up material yourself.
Coverage depends on depth. In Rutherford College, expect roughly 1 ton to cover about 110-115 sq ft at 2 inch depth, about 75 sq ft at 3 inch depth, and about 56 sq ft at 4 inch depth, though exact coverage varies with stone size and compaction.
Assuming a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inch compacted depth, you need about 1.85 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons), but our minimum order is 3 tons so plan for that. Material cost for 3 tons in this area typically falls between $120 and $225 delivered; expect additional costs if you need grading, compaction, or gravel spreading labor. Request a local quote through Hello Gravel to get a firm price for your exact driveway size and surface prep needs.
A delivered cubic yard of common crushed gravel in the Rutherford College area generally ranges from about $50 to $110, depending on the stone type and supplier. One cubic yard is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 tons (varies by material), so check per-ton vs per-yard pricing when comparing quotes.
The 70/30 rule usually refers to soil mix ratios for planting and does not directly apply to gravel installations. For gravel patios, paths, and driveways, use a layered approach (subgrade, compacted base, and a top gravel layer) rather than a 70/30 soil split; for planters, place coarse gravel or drainage rock below soil rather than mixing them.
For Rutherford College driveways many homeowners use crushed stone like 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone for the top layer, often over a larger crushed base for stability. In our region's freeze-thaw cycles it's helpful to compact a 4-6 inch base and finish with a 2-3 inch wearing course; local suppliers can recommend blends that match local geology and traffic needs.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request this service at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. The driver will assess access, safety, and equipment on arrival; for full spreading and grading, plan to hire a local landscape contractor or request additional labor when booking.
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.
