3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.

Why Apex Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Apex is a growing community of 96,130 residents, and its steady 2.50% annual growth translates into consistent demand for new yards, driveways, and small-scale construction projects. As more homeowners invest in outdoor living and property improvements, local builders and DIYers need reliable access to bulk materials that perform in the Piedmont environment. With about 213 sunny days a year and 46.00 inches of rainfall, projects must balance sun‑loving plantings with robust drainage solutions. The region’s temperate hardiness zone 7b supports diverse landscaping choices but also means materials should resist occasional wet seasons and summer heat. That combination drives demand for topsoil and compost for planting beds, well-graded base materials for stable walkways and driveways, and erosion-control products that help retain soil on sloped lots. Local climate and soil patterns create specific performance expectations for aggregates and soils. Apex’s mix of clay-prone Piedmont soils and periodic heavy rain increases the need for materials that improve drainage and reduce compaction—well-draining base, properly amended topsoil, and stabilizing aggregates all help. For homeowners that means selecting materials that match intended use, site slope, and drainage plans rather than picking based on appearance alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting customers to local suppliers who understand these regional conditions, providing quantity calculators, scheduling flexible deliveries, and offering guidance so materials arrive on time and are appropriate for Apex’s unique environment.Popular Projects in Apex This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Apex Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Apex.
Start with the job: decide if you need drainage, load-bearing capacity, or just surface cover. Consider appearance, firmness, and maintenance—materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone each perform differently for drainage and compaction. Use our online quiz or contact our team to match material characteristics to your project goals.
Home projects include driveways, pathways, patios, garden beds, grading and drainage fixes, and erosion control. Contractors also use bulk materials for foundations, backfill, and temporary roadways. Choose a material based on load, drainage needs, and desired look rather than the project name alone.
Apex has humid summers, periodic heavy rain, and clay-rich soils that can hold water and shift under load. Good drainage and proper base preparation reduce rutting and washout, so pick materials and installation methods that shed water and resist displacement. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary from online photos.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then convert to cubic yards and add a waste allowance before converting to tons. Hello Gravel offers a material calculator to simplify the math and recommends a minimum order of 3 tons. When in doubt, add 5-15% for cutting, settling, and slope.
Common allowances are 5-10% for flat landscaping, 10-15% for driveways and heavily graded areas, and up to 15-20% for projects with significant slope or compaction. Base and compacted materials often require more to reach final elevation than loose surface materials. Use the higher end of the range if you expect grading, cutting, or uneven subgrades.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days and there is a minimum order of 3 tons. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Clear a stable access path and a level drop area, remove low-hanging branches and obstacles, and mark the intended drop location with flags or cones. Note curb cuts, sidewalks, and driveway weight limits—some streets or yards may not support heavy trucks. If access is tight, contact our team ahead of time so suppliers can plan the right equipment.
Drivers may be able to place or tailgate-spread material at their discretion, but this depends on truck access, site conditions, and safety. For tight yards or precise spreading, plan to hire smaller equipment or a local contractor; request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or placement services.
Possibly. Check Apex town codes and any HOA rules for permitted driveway surfaces, culvert or curb work, and restrictions on visible materials in front yards. If the delivery will block a public road or sidewalk, you may need a permit or to arrange traffic control. Confirm local rules before ordering to avoid delays or removal orders.
Spring and fall can be busy with landscaping demand and heavy rains that delay installations; summer heat affects curing and compaction, while winter freeze-thaw can slow work. Schedule deliveries with a buffer for weather and allow time for proper site preparation and compaction after delivery. Ask our team about recommended timing for your specific project.
Our suppliers source materials locally, so color, grain, and texture reflect the local geology and can vary from photos. This regional variation is normal and often desirable for matching local landscaping styles, but exact color or uniformity cannot be guaranteed. If appearance is critical, note preferences in Order Notes and ask your sales rep for guidance.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to help, but modifications or cancellations may be limited once trucks are scheduled. See our order policies or contact support for specifics on refunds and adjustments.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
