Gravel Built For Advance Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery Scheduling
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Frequently Asked Questions - Advance gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Advance.
For Advance, NC, delivered gravel typically runs about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock) and truck access. Per cubic yard, expect roughly $40 to $95, since 1 cubic yard of most gravel weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and many local deliveries include the truck fee, but exact price and delivery charges depend on supplier and distance.
In West North Carolina, angular crushed stone (like #57 or 3/4" crushed stone) performs best for driveways because it locks together and drains well on the region's clay-influenced soils. Pea gravel and river rock are fine for walkways and decorative beds, but they move more in heavy rain and require edging. For drainage areas use larger, washed stone (1" to 2") and consider a mix with fines for a stable driveway surface.
Estimate quantities by area and depth: a single-car driveway (10' x 20') needs about 1.8 to 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3.5 tons) at 3"-4" depth. A standard two-car driveway (20' x 20') needs about 3.7 to 4.9 cubic yards (5 to 7 tons). A longer two-car driveway (20' x 40') requires about 7.4 to 9.9 cubic yards (10 to 14 tons). Hello Gravel's calculator can give a precise estimate based on your exact dimensions.
Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries and haulers serving Advance and Davie County; supplier availability varies by zip code so check our site for current partners. Typical minimum orders for bulk deliveries are 3 tons, which matches Hello Gravel's platform minimum, and some suppliers prefer 5+ tons for longer hauls. Delivery fees are often included for nearby loads but can range up to $100-$150 for longer distances or special site access; exact fees are shown at checkout when you enter your address.
Heavy rain can cause rutting, washouts, and fines to migrate, while seasonal freeze-thaw can create potholes and uneven surfaces as water freezes and thaws in the base. Proper grading with a crowned center, good drainage (ditches or culverts), and a well-compacted base reduce those problems. Regular maintenance after storms and adding material where washouts occur will keep the surface functional.
Contractors in the Advance area typically remove topsoil, install geotextile fabric where needed, and compact the subgrade with a plate compactor or roller. They usually place 4" to 6" of larger crushed stone as a base, compact it in lifts, then add 2" to 3" of smaller surface gravel like #57 and compact again. Creating a slight crown and ensuring edge containment helps drainage and extends life.
Longevity depends on use and type: well-built crushed-stone driveways usually need minor topping or regrading every 3 to 7 years and larger replenishment every 7 to 12 years. Pea gravel or decorative rock on driveways and high-traffic areas may need topping every 1 to 3 years. Regular maintenance after heavy rains and seasonal checks will reduce how often you need added material.
Davie County generally allows gravel driveways, but regulations can vary by parcel, zoning, and proximity to public roads and drainage features. Many homeowners associations impose design or material restrictions, so check your HOA rules if applicable. For curb cuts, driveway permits, or stormwater concerns contact Davie County planning or your local permit office before installing.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
