Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why National Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
National Hills is a community of 2,400 residents located in the St. Simons Island area of the Georgia Region. With a modest growth rate of 0.25% annually and a subtropical coastal climate that averages 216 sunny days a year and 49.09 inches of rain annually (hardiness zone 9a), homeowners here face particular landscaping and drainage challenges. Seasonal rainfall and coastal soils increase demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, French drains, and raised planting beds. Locals—both DIYers and contractors—look for consistent, locally sourced gravel that compacts well, manages runoff, and resists displacement from storms and salt air. Choosing the right gravel helps protect foundations, prevent erosion, and create low-maintenance surfaces that suit the region’s weather patterns and development trends.Popular Projects in National Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - National Hills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in National Hills.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving National Hills, GA, so material reflects regional geology. That means rock type, color, and texture will typically match other local projects rather than a single nationwide standard. Check your zip code at checkout or contact our team to see exactly which supplier will fulfill your order.
Standard delivery to National Hills generally takes 2 or more business days after your order is processed. We offer next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but availability depends on local supplier and truck schedules. Minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks.
Next-day delivery is available in many National Hills locations if you place your order before noon CST and a local supplier has trucks available. An additional fee usually applies and it depends on local inventory and route planning. If you need faster service, contact our sales team and provide your delivery address so we can check availability and pricing.
For a simple top layer on an existing driveway, plan on 3 inches of compacted gravel; a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 5.6 cubic yards, roughly 7.5 to 9 tons depending on material density. If you are building a new driveway, add a 4-6 inch crushed stone base under the topcoat, which will roughly double or triple the quantity needed. Use our material calculator or contact our team with measurements for a tailored estimate.
Crushed stone 3/4" to 1" (often called 57 stone) is a common choice for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel provides a smoother walking surface but can shift under vehicle traffic, so it is better for walkways or decorative areas. In National Hills where clay soils and heavy summer rains are common, use a compacted crushed stone base under top layers to improve drainage and durability.
Yes—properly built gravel trails in National Hills can provide excellent surfaces for recreational and gravel cycling, but the right mix matters. A compacted crushed stone base with a 1 to 2 inch top layer of angular gravel gives good traction and stability, while loose pea gravel or large river rock is harder to ride on. Plan for drainage and regular maintenance after heavy Georgia rains to keep trails rideable.
As a rule of thumb, a 1-mile trail 12 ft wide at 3 inches depth is about 587 cubic yards, which is roughly 820 tons using a typical crushed stone density. At that rate, a 20-mile trail of the same width and depth would need about 16,400 tons of material. These are rough estimates—final quantities depend on width, depth, compaction, and local stone density, so contact our team for a detailed takeoff.
Properly installed gravel with a compacted crushed stone base does a good job reducing mud on clay soils common around National Hills. The key is a well-prepared subgrade, a permeable base layer, and adequate depth so water drains rather than saturates the surface. If drainage is a problem on your site, consider grading, drainage swales, or geotextile fabric under the base before ordering material.
Yes, crushed stone with a compacted base is commonly used to support heavy equipment, but the base thickness and stone gradation must match the load. For temporary construction access in National Hills, contractors often use 6 inches or more of compacted structural aggregate; lightweight decorative gravel is not suitable for heavy loads. Tell our sales team about anticipated traffic so we can recommend the right product and thickness.
You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, and drivers in National Hills may offer this service at their discretion when it can be done safely. Please note that Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading and drivers decide on-site whether spreading is safe and possible. If spreading is critical, discuss options with our team before delivery so expectations are clear.
Gravel reflects local geology, so material sourced near National Hills will vary in color, size, and texture compared with stock photos. Seasonal weather and local quarries affect how material looks and performs, so expect natural variation. If color or texture is important, add notes at checkout and our team will try to accommodate preferences where possible.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order for delivery to National Hills; changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but once a truck has been assigned and is en route changes may not be possible. Provide your order number and delivery address when you call or text so our team can act quickly.
Inspect the delivery and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos, your order number, and notes about the issue. We will work with the local supplier and hauler to resolve the problem and advise next steps under our issue resolution process. Keep in mind natural variation by region, and refer to our refund policy for details on remedies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
