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.

Why Hillsborough Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hillsborough is home to 27,130 residents and is seeing steady demand for home and landscape improvements as the area grows at a 2.80% annual rate. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a location in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners balance outdoor living with periodic wet spells that affect soil drainage and erosion. New driveways, patios, garden beds, and drainage upgrades are common projects as properties adapt to both sun and rain. That combination drives a need for reliable aggregates: gravel that compacts well for vehicle traffic, sheds water during heavy rains, and complements local soil and stone for a natural look.Popular Projects in Hillsborough This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hillsborough gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hillsborough.
Expect a range rather than a fixed price because material type, supplier, delivery distance, and installation labor vary. For materials alone, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 tons) so estimate material cost and delivery using local supplier quotes; adding professional grading/compacting and edging typically raises the total substantially. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact delivered quote to your Hillsborough zip code and ask for labor estimates if you want installation included.
Prices change by season and supplier, but in the Hillsborough/West North Carolina area expect delivered material to vary by type and distance. As a rough guide, budget order-of-magnitude ranges and request a local quote from Hello Gravel for exact pricing; local taxes, minimum order requirements, and delivery fees affect the final number.
You need about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 8.6 tons using a typical gravel conversion. A standard tri-axle dump truck used in our network normally carries about 12-14 cubic yards, so your 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches will fit on one truck with material left over.
Delivered load costs depend on material type, distance from the quarry, and load size; local Hillsborough residential deliveries may include minimum-order rules and access considerations. For a current, accurate delivered price to your address, request a quote through Hello Gravel - we connect you to nearby suppliers and provide transparent delivery fees.
Two inches is light and generally only suitable as a thin top dressing over a firm, well-drained base. In Hillsborough's Piedmont clay soils and humid climate, we usually recommend installing a deeper compacted base (3-6 inches of crusher-run or base stone) with 1-2 inches of surface gravel for durability and drainage. Adding a geotextile fabric and proper grading reduces washout and rutting.
For driveways, crusher-run (also called road base) is the most common and cost-effective choice because it compacts well and provides a stable base. #57 crushed stone offers better drainage and a cleaner finish but tends to cost more, while pea gravel is decorative but shifts and may not be ideal for driveways. Costs rank roughly: crusher-run (lowest), #57 (mid), pea gravel (variable), but local availability and regional sourcing in the Hillsborough area affect exact pricing.
Some municipalities and HOAs have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, drainage, and stormwater management. Hello Gravel can help by supplying material information and delivery details, but you should check Hillsborough town regulations and your HOA covenants before installation; Hello Gravel does not file permits on your behalf.
Hello Gravel offers standard delivery (2+ business days) and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery fees vary by supplier, distance, and site access—many areas receive free delivery depending on promotions and local pricing—so enter your zip code or request a quote for precise fees and scheduling options in Hillsborough.
Labor and equipment costs vary, but expect a professional installation including grading, compaction, and edging to range broadly depending on site conditions; a rough local estimate is several hundred to a few thousand dollars for 1,000 sq ft. Get at least two local contractor quotes that factor in Hillsborough site prep (existing soil, drainage, tree roots) for a reliable price.
For small projects, compare pickup from a nearby supplier versus bulk delivery; Hello Gravel’s minimum order of 3 tons often makes a full delivered load the simplest option for most home driveways. Order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading, request delivery windows, and ask about tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to help, keeping in mind it is done at the driver’s discretion.
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!
