For Maxton's wet conditions and occasional freeze-thaw, angular crushed stone (3/4u0022 #57 or dense grade aggregate) with fines is best because it compacts and sheds water. Avoid loose round pea gravel as a primary driving surface; use it for borders or low-traffic areas. Add geotextile fabric and proper crowning for long-term performance.

Use this quick example at a 4u0022 compacted depth: a 1-car driveway (10'x20') needs about 3.5 tons, a 2-car driveway (20'x20') about 6.7 tons, and a 3-car driveway (30'x20') about 10 tons. If your site has poor soil, low spots, or steep grade, plan for 6u0022 or more depth and increase tonnage by roughly 50%.

Measure area in square feet and decide on depth in inches. Cubic yards = (area x depth inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by ~1.35 to get tons. Example: 400 sq ft at 4u0022 = (400x4)/324 = 4.94 yd3 x1.35 ≈ 6.7 tons.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Deliveries commonly arrive on tri-axle dump trucks (typical payload ~10-12 tons), while smaller single-axle trucks carry less and end-dumps or belly dumps can carry more for commercial jobs. Drivers will confirm access and may decline unloads on restricted sites for safety.

No. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color, texture, and size vary with local geology in the Maxton area. You can note color preferences in Order Notes and request a sample or photo from your supplier, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed.

With proper base, drainage, and compaction, crushed-stone driveways in Maxton can last many years but will need routine maintenance. Expect to regrade and add 1-2 inches of gravel every 2-5 years depending on traffic and drainage; potholes in concentrated wet spots may need patching sooner. Good drainage and regular grading reduce frequency of repairs.

Crushed stone is usually the most economical per ton because it is mined and crushed locally. Pea gravel costs more due to washing and sorting, and river rock is typically the most expensive because of size, sourcing, and handling. Expect rough delivered differences of $10-$40/ton between these types in the Maxton area, depending on exact size and supplier.

Yes. Local ordinances, Maxton town rules, and HOA covenants may restrict driveway materials, width, curb cuts, or stormwater management. Contact Maxton town hall or Robeson County planning to confirm permit and setback requirements before you order. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but cannot advise on local permit approvals.

Maxton's soils can be clayey or hold surface water in low spots, so choose angular, well-graded stone and build a thicker compacted base where drainage is poor. Install a crowned surface (center higher than edges), add geotextile fabric to separate subgrade, and provide edge containment to prevent migration. Proper drainage is the biggest factor in longevity here.
