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 Pelham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pelham has a city population of 2,630 and sits inside a growing regional market with a 2.80% annual growth rate; the broader metro area supports a population of 2.3+ million. With an average of 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, Pelham's climate offers long work windows punctuated by seasonal downpours. That pattern, combined with ongoing residential updates, creates steady demand for quality aggregates—driveways, drainage trenches, patio bases, and utility backfill are common homeowner projects. Homeowners seek dependable gravel to manage stormwater, reduce erosion, and provide a stable surface that lowers long‑term maintenance in a changing neighborhood landscape.Popular Projects in Pelham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pelham gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pelham.
Hello Gravel typically requires 2+ business days for standard delivery and offers a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). We'll confirm a delivery window after you order, but exact arrival times depend on supplier scheduling and local truck avaIlability.
Many Pelham-area orders qualify for free delivery through Hello Gravel, but fees depend on supplier distance and site access. When a fee applies, local small-town deliveries commonly range from about $50 to $150; remote or hard-to-access drops can be higher. The final delivery cost will be shown at checkout so you can review before you pay.
In West North Carolina, crushed stone like #57 and base rock (crushed aggregate) are the most common driveway choices because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel and river rock are used for decorative pads or low-traffic areas but are less stable for vehicle use. Crushed limestone and granite-based gravels also appear locally depending on quarry avaIlability.
A quick formula is: Tons = (square feet x depth in feet / 27) x 1.4 (approximate tons per cubic yard for crushed stone). That works out to about 0.017 tons per square foot for 4" (0.333 ft) and 0.026 tons per square foot for 6" (0.5 ft). For example, a 240 sq ft area needs roughly 4.1 tons at 4" and about 6.2 tons at 6"; round up and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Pelham's seasonal rainfall and occasional freeze-thaw can cause rutting, wAshouts, and surface migration of fines. To reduce problems, install a well-compacted base, pRoper drainage (crowning the driveway and adding swales or French drains), and edge restraints. Regular grading after heavy rains and adding fresh gravel where ruts form will extend the life of the surface.
Crushed limestone is usually more common and less expensive in this region; it compacts well and is favored for driveways and base layers. River rock is more decorative and often costs more per ton because of screening and transport, and it does not lock together for heavy vehicle use. AvaIlability depends on nearby quarries and river deposits, so prices and color/size options can vary by supplier.
Installation costs vary by site prep: basic spreading of delivered gravel can be DIY, while contractor-installed projects include grading, geotextile fabric, edge restraints, and compaction. Expect project labor and prep to add cost beyond material—typical local estimates can range widely, so get quotes; small DIY jobs may only need the material and a compactor rental, while full installs with base work will be significantly more. Ask contractors for itemized estimates (material, fabric, compaction, labor) to compare.
In Pelham's climate, expect to grade and relevel a gravel driveway at least once a year and add fresh gravel every 2-4 years depending on traffic and drainage. Routine grading or light maintenance visits can cost a few hundred dollars for small drives; replenishing 5-10 tons of gravel every few years is a common expense and will vary by material price and delivery. Good drainage and pRoper base work reduce long-term maintenance needs.
Yes. Before converting a paved driveway to gravel, check local county or town zoning and permitting rules and review any HOA covenants that apply to your Pelham pRoperty. Rules can cover surface materials, dust control, and curb appeal requirements. Contact your county planning office and your HOA board to confirm any restrictions or required permits.
Choose a drop area that is level, clear of overhead wires or low branches, and accessible to a tri-axle dump truck (wide enough for the truck to turn and park safely). Mark the desired pile location in the Order Notes and remove vehicles or obstacles that could block the truck. If you want spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout and note this is at the driver's discretion; consider laying geotextile fabric and compacting after spreading for best results.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
