For durable driveways and parking pads in Martin County, crushed stone (angular 57 or 411) and crusher run (dense graded stone) are the top choices because they lock together and resist rutting. Pea gravel looks nice but shifts and wanders in heavy rain; washed gravel gives good drainage but needs a stable base. For the coastal plain and frequent wet weather, use a compacted crusher-run base with a crushed-stone surface or a washed top layer for drainage.

Gravel performs well if installed with attention to drainage and subgrade prep; however, Martin County’s clayey coastal plain soils and high water table can lead to settling, rutting, and slow drainage if you skip proper preparation. Use a well-compacted base, geotextile fabric where appropriate, positive surface drainage, and thicker stone sections in low or frequently wet areas. Regular maintenance after heavy rains helps prevent washouts and soft spots.

Approximate coverage for 1,000 sq ft: 2u0022 depth = ~6.2 cubic yards (≈ 8.6 tons); 3u0022 = ~9.3 cubic yards (≈ 13.0 tons); 4u0022 = ~12.3 cubic yards (≈ 17.3 tons). Densities vary by material, so use Hello Gravel’s calculator and add 5-10% for compaction and waste. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons—larger projects should order accordingly.

Possibly. Martin County and some municipalities may require permits for driveway connections to public roads or for work in a regulated floodplain, and NCDOT permits are often needed when connecting to state-maintained roads. Many HOAs have rules about surface materials, appearance, or setbacks—get written HOA approval before installing. Check Martin County Planning, NCDOT (if applicable), and your HOA before ordering materials.

Build a stable sub-base (compact crusher run or crushed stone), grade for positive drainage, and install edging to keep material contained. For wet Coastal Plain sites, consider geotextile fabric over soft soil and increase base thickness; top with a washed gravel or crushed stone surface and compact in layers. Maintain by regrading low spots, adding fresh topping every few years, and clearing vegetation to keep surfaces hard-packed.

Yes, Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump truck fleets to Martin County addresses; drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Because spreading is dependent on the driver and site conditions, no spreading guarantee is provided.

Ask for the material size/type (for example, 3/4u0022 crushed stone, crusher run, or washed gravel), the delivered price per ton and per cubic yard, the supplier name, delivery date window, truck size (tri-axle), and any spreading services or unloading restrictions. Also confirm minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), request a material photo if you need a color preference, and ask about lead time for delivery to your zip code.
