For driveways in the Eastland - Wilora Lake region, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 stone are common choices because they compact well and shed water. For walking paths and garden areas, 3/8u0022 pea gravel or washed river rock works well and is more comfortable underfoot. Consider a 4-6u0022 compacted base for driveways and a fabric underlayment for paths to improve drainage and reduce weed growth.

Yes, gravel can be used near cool-season grasses like fescue common to the broader North Carolina region, but keep a clear edge so grass roots do not mix with gravel. Use edging materials and a weed barrier where the gravel meets lawn areas, and choose smaller decorative gravel for close-in borders to reduce tracking. Avoid piling fines against the turf to prevent smothering and watering issues.

To estimate, multiply the area (square feet) by the desired depth (in inches) and divide by 324 to get cubic yards; one cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 4u0022 depth. Because material is measured and billed by weight, remember that one cubic yard of typical crushed gravel weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons, and Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.

Most residential deliveries do not require permits, but check local HOA or county rules if you are in a regulated subdivision. Prepare the site by clearing vegetation, marking utilities if digging, and providing 12 to 15 feet of truck clearance so a dump truck can safely access the drop location. If you need guidance, contact our team and we will advise on common local requirements and preparations.

Maintain gravel by periodic raking to level high spots, topping up low areas after heavy rains, and keeping edges defined to prevent spreading into beds and lawn. Address drainage issues quickly, especially after heavy summer storms, and apply a weed-prevention fabric or herbicide where weeds are a problem. A yearly check and a light top-up usually keep surfaces looking good in this part of North Carolina.
