For driveways in Shallotte, 3/4u0022 crushed stone or #57 crushed stone are common because they lock together and shed water. Coastal properties benefit from angular crushed stone and a thicker base because sandy soils and salt exposure can cause settling; shell mixes are popular for a beachy look but are less stable as a driveway surface. Consider a geotextile fabric and stronger edge restraints to prevent washout near the coast.

Use the formula: cubic yards = (length in feet x width in feet x depth in inches) / 324. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard is approximately 1.4 tons of typical crushed stone, but weight varies by material.

To avoid surprises, add delivery notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can assess access and provide any applicable fee estimates.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request the service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and access on arrival, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. If spreading is essential, consider booking a local installer or contractor in addition to delivery.

If you have a time-sensitive project, plan ahead and get a quote early to lock in delivery windows and pricing.

Provide the exact delivery address, nearest street access, photos of the drop area, preferred drop location, and notes about obstacles like low-hanging wires, narrow driveways, or soft sand. Specify desired material size and any spreading request so the supplier can determine the correct truck type and whether additional fees or permits might apply.
