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 Stanley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stanley is a growing community of 13,900 residents set in a moderate, sunny region that sees 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall. With a steady 2.80% annually growth rate, new landscaping, infill projects, and small-scale construction are common as homeowners update driveways, patios, and drainage systems. That steady growth increases demand for reliable aggregates that perform in both sun and seasonal rain, and homeowners often look for materials that control erosion, improve drainage, and create low-maintenance surfaces. Gravel is a go-to choice because it balances affordability, durability, and versatility — qualities local projects need when soil types and slopes vary across properties in and around Stanley. Locally sourced gravel works well with Stanley's climate and soils: it sheds water faster than compacted soil, reduces mud after downpours, and resists surface breakdown under repeated sun exposure. For pathways, driveways, French drains, and base layers, gravel helps manage runoff from the 34.00 inches annual rainfall and complements planting beds in hardiness zone 8b. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, with clear pricing, a simple online ordering flow, and delivery options (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available) so you get the right material for your project on schedule.Popular Projects in Stanley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stanley gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Stanley.
In Stanley you can expect delivered gravel to range roughly from $25 to $60 per ton depending on the type (washed, crushed, decorative) and local availability. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and often includes delivery in many areas; final price will depend on material choice, access, and any add-on services. For an exact quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our sales team.
For driveways in West North Carolina we recommend angular crushed stone (for example #57 or 3/4" crushed) for good compaction and load-bearing, and an open-graded stone (clean, no fines) where fast drainage is needed. Use a denser base layer (crushed stone with some fines) topped with 3/4" stone for the surface; regional suppliers may offer slightly different mixes due to local geology.
Using a common conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard), a 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) will need about 6.2 tons at 3" depth, about 8.3 tons at 4", and about 12.4 tons at 6". A 20x40 driveway (800 sq ft) will need about 10.4 tons at 3", about 13.8 tons at 4", and about 20.7 tons at 6". If you have clay or poor soil in Stanley, plan for a thicker base and possibly geotextile fabric, which will increase the tonnage.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain can cause washouts, frost heave, and rutting in gravel surfaces, especially on poorly drained sites. To reduce problems, install proper drainage (ditches, culverts), use a compacted base, and consider thicker sections on slopes; expect to regrade and top up high-traffic areas every 1 to 3 years depending on exposure. After major storms or freeze-thaw events, inspect for soft spots and erosion and address them promptly.
Hello Gravel generally offers delivery (standard 2+ business days) with a 3-ton minimum; delivery fees are often included but vary by location and material. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed; professional spreading or installation by local contractors typically adds anywhere from about $100 to $500 or more depending on job size, access, and site prep. Contact our team for a firm quote that includes spreading or install options.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost (commonly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed) and offers excellent drainage, but it requires periodic grading and topping. Asphalt costs more up front ($3 to $6 per sq ft) and needs resealing every few years but gives a smoother surface; pavers are the most expensive ($10+ per sq ft) with low maintenance and high curb appeal. Choose gravel if budget and drainage are priorities, asphalt for a smooth, lower-maintenance paved surface, and pavers for aesthetics and longevity when budget allows.
On slopes use larger, angular rock such as 1" to 2" crushed stone for surface stabilization and riprap or larger boulders at the slope toe where water concentrates. Combine surface rock with geotextile fabric, terracing, or check dams and consider a crushed stone with some fines in flatter settling areas to lock the material in place. For concentrated flow channels use larger riprap and line channels with erosion mats where needed.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects customers with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Stanley area; you can enter your zip code on our site to see local availability and pricing. For spreading and installation, we can often coordinate local contractors or you can hire landscape contractors in Gaston County—always check references, licenses, and examples of completed work.
Measure the delivery area and confirm material amount, clear the truck access route, and mark driveways, mailboxes, and utilities to avoid damage. Park cars away from the drop area and make sure gates and paths are wide enough for a tri-axle dump truck; note that drivers decide on safe placement and will not move heavy obstacles. Add order notes for color preferences and any special delivery instructions.
Gravel is a natural material and Hello Gravel sources regionally, so color, texture, and exact particle mix can vary based on local geology around Stanley. Photos are representative; if you have tight color or size requirements, add notes to your order and ask our team for a detailed description before purchase. We also recommend ordering a small sample or the minimum 3-ton delivery to confirm appearance for your project.
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.
