Why New Bern Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Bern is a community of 31,291 residents experiencing modest, steady expansion with a 0.40% annual growth rate. That level of growth usually means incremental construction and landscaping demand — renovations, infill development, and routine infrastructure upgrades rather than a building boom. In this climate (USDA hardiness zone 8b) with about 152 sunny days and 33.50 inches of rain each year, homeowners need materials that balance drainage, durability, and plant establishment. Contractors and DIYers in New Bern frequently choose mixes that address wet-season runoff and hot-season settling: base materials for driveways and pads, permeable aggregates for drainage, screened topsoil for planting beds, and mulches to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regional sourcing means textures and colors vary, so choosing the right size, gradation, and delivery timing matters for long-term performance.Popular Projects in New Bern This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Bern Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Bern.
Homeowners in New Bern commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for tasks like driveways, landscape beds, drainage work, and grading. Regional sourcing means appearance and texture vary, so check photos or add color notes at checkout. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project.
Contractors pick materials based on load requirements, drainage, and maintenance needs rather than brand names. For example, they’ll choose coarser aggregates where drainage and stability matter and finer materials for leveling and topdressings. Talk to a sales specialist and share your expected traffic, slope, and drainage to get a material that fits the job.
Prices vary by material type, distance from the supplier, and the amount ordered, but many small-city jobs show material costs per ton plus a delivery fee. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and will show delivery options during checkout; remember our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery has an additional fee. Request a quote to see exact costs for your zip code and project size.
Heat and humidity can accelerate compaction, encourage weed growth, and change how loose materials settle, while occasional freezes can cause heaving in poorly compacted fills. Choose materials with good drainage for wet seasons and factor in extra compaction or stabilization if freeze-thaw cycles are a concern. Plan for routine maintenance in humid months, like topping up or regrading high-traffic areas.
Local suppliers and haulers may limit delivery based on road weight restrictions, narrow streets, low-hanging wires, or restricted-access properties, and some rural addresses require easier access for tri-axle dump trucks. Check your access before ordering, confirm your zip code on the site, and note any obstacles in Order Notes. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Spring and fall are often preferred because temperatures are milder and rainfall is more moderate, which helps with compaction and settling. Summer installations are possible but may require extra watering or timing around storms, and winter work can be done outside of severe weather. You can schedule delivery year-round, but consider local weather when picking installation dates.
Compare durability, drainage performance, cost, maintenance needs, and local availability to match the material to your project goals. Also consider appearance and how much routine upkeep you want to do over time. Our material calculator and experts can help weigh these trade-offs for your specific property in New Bern.
Driveways, drainage improvements, grading and site prep, patios, and new landscape beds are the most common local projects that require bulk materials. Contractors and homeowners also order materials for erosion control, backfill, and utility bedding. Each project has different material and quantity needs, so plan accordingly with our calculator or by talking to our team.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons if needed — our online calculator does this automatically. It’s common to order 5% to 10% extra to account for compaction and waste, especially for loose materials. If you’re unsure, send photos and measurements and we can help confirm the right amount.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; modifications are easier before the order is dispatched and depend on supplier and hauler schedules. If there’s a delivery issue, notify customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and driver to resolve it; see our terms for details on refunds and claims. For faster help, call or text the numbers on the site and include your order number and photos if there’s a problem.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
