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.
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.

Why Saxapahaw Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Saxapahaw, population 314, sits in a part of West North Carolina where steady regional growth and a moderate climate shape homeowner needs. The nearby metro area serves 2.3+ million people and is expanding at about 2.80% annually, driving more remodeling, driveway repairs, and small-scale site work near town. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b, homeowners must balance sun, rain, and seasonal temperature swings when planning outdoor projects. That combination increases demand for reliable aggregates: gravel for driveways and paths, crushed stone for bases, and drainage rock for low spots. Homeowners look for consistent material quality, accurate quantity estimates, and dependable delivery so projects withstand wet springs and hot summers.Popular Projects in Saxapahaw This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Saxapahaw gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Saxapahaw.
In Saxapahaw and the surrounding West North Carolina area, a typical tri-axle dump truck load holds about 6-8 cubic yards (roughly 10-12 tons). Expect delivered prices to vary by material and distance, commonly in the range of about $300 to $800 per truckload. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, so smaller projects may be billed differently; get a local quote for an exact price.
"Chapel Hill gravel" is a regional way to refer to locally sourced crushed stone common around Chapel Hill, usually tan to light gray and used for driveways and landscaping. Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, you can often get a similar local crushed stone near Saxapahaw, but color and texture will reflect local geology. If you have a color preference, note it at checkout and ask our team for photos of available loads.
Costs depend on width and depth, so here is a simple estimate: assume a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide driveway (200 sq ft) at a typical 3-inch depth, which requires about 2 tons of gravel. Because our minimum order is 3 tons, material plus delivery and spreading could run roughly $200 to $700 depending on material type and delivery distance. For an accurate estimate for your exact dimensions and material choice, use our material calculator or contact our sales team.
Coverage varies by gravel size and desired depth, but a practical rule for Saxapahaw: one ton of crushed gravel is about 0.7 cubic yards (roughly 19 cubic feet). That will cover about 114 sq ft at 2 inches deep, 76 sq ft at 3 inches deep, or 57 sq ft at 4 inches deep. These are approximate; heavier, denser materials or compaction needs can change coverage slightly.
Prices depend on local availability, but generally crushed stone (processed rock) can cost a bit more than unprocessed natural pea gravel because of crushing and screening work. In Saxapahaw, however, local supply and hauling distance often have a bigger effect on price than the material type, so costs can be similar. We recommend requesting quotes for both options through Hello Gravel to compare delivered prices for your address.
Yes. 3/4-inch crushed gravel compacts well and is commonly used as a stable base for driveways in this part of North Carolina. For best results, combine a compacted base layer of 3/4-inch crushed stone with a binder or top layer if you want a smoother finish, and consider local drainage and frost concerns when planning thickness.
For driveways, a crushed stone like 3/4-inch or #57 with fines for compaction is a reliable choice; it handles vehicle traffic and sheds water well. For walkways and decorative beds, pea gravel or washed river rock gives a nicer look but may shift more under traffic. Because Saxapahaw materials reflect regional geology, check photos or request a sample and talk to our team about traffic, drainage, and maintenance needs before ordering.
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.
