Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Morganton; minimum order through Hello Gravel is 3 tons. Individual quarries and contractors in West Georgia set their own minimums and product selection, so if you need less than 3 tons ask about pick-up or smaller local landscape yards when you request a quote. We handle coordination so you get local material without hunting down individual suppliers.

For clay soils and heavy summer rain, an angular crushed stone base (like 3/4" crushed stone or #57) gives better compaction and drainage than rounded river rock. Use geotextile fabric and a compacted base course, then top with a larger washed gravel or 3/8" to 1/2" crushed stone for a stable wearing surface. Proper grading and crowned profile are crucial to shed water and reduce rutting on clay subsoils.

A quick rule: tons per 100 sq ft = 0.43 x depth in inches. That means about 0.86 tons for 2" depth, 1.30 tons for 3", and 1.73 tons for 4" over 100 sq ft. Driveways usually need 4" to 6" of compacted base, so plan accordingly and use our material calculator or ask us for a project estimate.

Installation costs vary with site prep, access, and soil conditions; basic installation (grading, base stone, compaction) commonly runs about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft in the region, excluding material. Difficult sites with excavation, drainage work, or heavy clay may be higher, and contractors add labor for finishing and edging. For an accurate number, get local contractor bids and include material delivery, compaction, and any drainage solutions.

Permit and HOA rules vary locally; some cities or counties allow gravel driveways without a permit while others or certain HOAs require approval or specific materials. Check with Morganton city hall or your county planning office and review your HOA covenants before ordering materials. If you need documentation for compliance, we can provide material specs to share with your local authority.

With proper base and drainage, crushed stone driveways can last many years but will need regular maintenance: annual raking and occasional spot additions every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and erosion. Washed pea gravel or loose river rock tends to migrate and require more frequent top-ups, especially after heavy summer storms. Good drainage, edging, and compaction reduce maintenance frequency on Morganton's wet-clay sites.

Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost but higher ongoing maintenance; installed gravel driveways often cost less initially than asphalt or pavers but may require periodic topping and grading. Asphalt has a higher upfront price and usually needs resurfacing within 10-20 years, while pavers are the most expensive up front but lowest maintenance. For a realistic budget, ask local contractors for 10-year estimates based on your driveway size and site conditions.

Hello Gravel deliveries are by contracted dump truck fleets and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout. We do not guarantee spreading services; if the driver agrees, it is often performed for a small additional fee set by the hauler. For guaranteed spreading, arrange a local contractor or landscaping crew and discuss costs when you book delivery.

Clear the delivery area of vehicles, debris, and low-hanging branches; provide a clear access route for a tri-axle dump truck and mark the intended drop location with flags or stakes. If you want spreading, request it at checkout but plan for a driver assessment on arrival; for best results, lay geotextile fabric and set edge restraints before delivery or hire a crew to finish spreading and compaction. Contact our team if you have tight access or special drop instructions so we can coordinate with the hauler.

Peak demand in West Georgia is spring and fall, ahead of landscape and driveway seasons; order materials and schedule contractors 1 to 3 weeks in advance during those periods. Winter is generally slower and easier to book, while summer storms can cause short-term spikes in demand after heavy rainfall. Use Hello Gravel's delivery calendar to choose your preferred date and lock in pricing.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
