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.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Raphine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Raphine's city population is 2,060, and it sits within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million — a combination that helps explain steady development pressure. A 2.40% annual growth rate translates into consistent demand for home improvements, driveways, garden beds, and small commercial projects rather than sudden booms. Local climate matters: with about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, materials must perform through cycles of sun exposure and periodic wetting. In hardiness zone 8b this means plant-friendly topsoils, stable base materials for paths and drives, and erosion-control products are often top priorities. Because regional geology affects texture and color, buying properly graded and regionally sourced bulk gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone reduces surprises on arrival and increases long-term performance.Popular Projects in Raphine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Raphine Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Raphine.
Start by matching the material to the job: drainage and load-bearing projects need firm, well-draining material while planting beds and grading can use looser material. Consider appearance, particle size, and long-term maintenance when comparing gravel, sand, dirt, stone as options. Local sourcing means texture and color can vary, so ask for regional guidance and photos before ordering.
Calculate the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with dimensions and project type for a quick estimate, since conversion to tons varies by material and local density.
Choose materials based on drainage, stability, and appearance rather than a single product: a firm base layer with a smoother top layer is common for driveways and walkways. In Raphine’s climate, prioritize materials that shed water and resist freeze-thaw movement, and consult our team for local recommendations among gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
You may need a permit or HOA approval depending on the scope of work, driveway changes, or visible frontage improvements. Check with Rockbridge County, your township, and any HOA before placing an order to avoid delays, and secure approvals before scheduling delivery.
Yes, we work with local haulers that often serve rural and narrow-access properties, but feasibility depends on road and site access. During checkout you can add delivery notes, and the driver will assess safe offload options on arrival; minimum order is 3 tons and some sites may require additional routing fees.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days and you can select your preferred date at checkout. Next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; we confirm scheduled windows but cannot guarantee exact arrival times.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this at checkout but it is not guaranteed. For full installation or grading you should hire a contractor or plan for manual spreading by your crew.
Wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles can affect compaction, settling, and the timing of delivery, making late fall and early spring more unpredictable. Schedule deliveries when ground conditions are favorable, and allow extra time for drying or compaction before finishing work using gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, debris, and obstacles and mark any buried utilities or irrigation lines to avoid damage. Provide a stable surface for the truck to stop on or create a safe offload point, and include access notes in your order so the driver can plan the drop location.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may not match photos exactly; contact customer service promptly if the material differs significantly. If you need to modify the order, reach out as soon as possible—changes are easier before processing—and we will work with you and the supplier to find a solution.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.

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!
