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 Julian Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Julian is a small but growing community of 2,850 residents experiencing steady development as homeowners invest in pRoperty upgrades and outdoor projects. The area is shaped by a moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—which creates alternating stretches of dry sun and seasonal runoff that affect yards, driveways, and slopes. That combination, together with a local growth rate of 2.80% annually, drives demand for practical, long-lasting materials. Homeowners increasingly choose gravel for driveway bases, pathways, drainage swales, and erosion control because it balances affordability, permeability, and durability. Clear guidance on stone size, depth, and placement helps residents avoid rutting, standing water, and costly rework, so many seek a reliable supplier and delivery partner to get the right material for each job. Gravel works particularly well in Julian’s climate: it promotes quick drainage after storms, resists wAshout on sloped lots, and holds up under frequent sun exposure across the region. Local soils and seasonal rains mean angular crushed gravel is often preferred for compacted bases, while rounded pea gravel can be used for decorative areas and low-traffic paths. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers, simplifies online ordering, and coordinates professional dump-truck delivery so you can choose the right gravel, schedule delivery, and keep your project moving with minimal hassle.Popular Projects in Julian This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Julian gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Julian.
In Julian and the surrounding West North Carolina area you’ll commonly see crushed stone (3/4" and 1"), pea gravel, granite screenings, and river rock. Regional suppliers often offer local stone varieties that reflect the mountain geology, so color and texture can vary by delivery. Choose crushed angular stone for driveways and pea gravel or river rock for decorative uses.
Typical per-ton prices in rural North Carolina range roughly from $20 to $60 per ton depending on type and size, with decorative stone on the higher end. Delivery to Julian often adds $0 to $150 or more depending on distance, access difficulty, and truck size; Hello Gravel minimum orders Start at 3 tons. Remote or hard-to-reach sites can incur extra access or labor fees, so get a quote for your exact address.
For steep, winding driveways use a well-graded mix: a compacted base of 3/4" to 2" crushed stone for stability, topped with 3/4" crushed stone or a mix with some fines to bind the surface. Larger angular stone locks together better on slopes than rounded gravel, and adding a small fraction of screenings helps reduce movement. Combine this with pRoper drainage and compaction for best performance on mountain grades.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain common in West North Carolina can cause wAshouts, ruts, and frost heave in gravel surfaces. Expect seasonal maintenance such as regrading, adding fresh stone, and addressing clogged drains after wet seasons or winter. Good drainage, pRoper base depth, and periodic compaction reduce long-term damage.
Local rules vary, so check with your county planning office and any HOA before installing a driveway in Julian, NC. Permits are commonly required for new driveway connections to sTate or county roads and for culvert installation; HOAs may have surface or appearance rules. Contact local authorities or Hello Gravel’s team if you need help identifying who to call.
Recommended practices include excavating and compacting a strong base (commonly 6" to 12" of compacted stone), installing geotextile fabric on soft soils, and creating durable drainage with culverts and side ditches. Use angular, well-graded stone and compact in layers, and consider a crowned profile so water sheds off the surface. These steps help prevent erosion and reduce maintenance needs on steep terrain.
Hello Gravel serves rural Julian addresses but delivery depends on supplier and truck access; tri-axle dump trucks need a reasonably firm and wide approach to safely dump. Seasonal conditions like muddy spring thaw or winter snow can restrict deliveries or require scheduling flexibility, so plan ahead and share access notes when you order. Additional access fees may apply for difficult sites.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete and is easier to install and repair, but it requires regular maintenance like grading and topping up every few years. Asphalt and concrete cost more to install but typically need less frequent surface upkeep; they also perform better under heavy use but can be more expensive to repair. Consider budget, expected traffic, and slope when choosing the right surface for your pRoperty.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then use a material calculator or multiply length x width x depth to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; one cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on type. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and sales team can help convert your measurements into the minimum 3-ton order and provide a delivery quote. Share the site conditions and desired finished depth for a more accurate estimate.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
