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 - Archdale gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Archdale.
In and around Archdale, common choices are 3/4" crushed stone (often called 'crusher run' or 'ABC') for driveways and pea gravel or 3/8" washed stone for patios. Crushed stone compacts well and creates a stable driveway surface, while pea gravel is decorative and comfortable for patios but shifts more easily. Regional suppliers in the West North Carolina Piedmont stock these standard grades.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect crushed stone or general gravel to run roughly $30 to $60 per ton and pea gravel closer to $35 to $70 per ton in the Archdale area. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day option before noon CST for an extra fee; delivery charges may be waived in many locations but depend on distance and access. For an exact quote, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team.
Archdale's Piedmont climate sees seasonal freeze-thaw and periodic heavy rain, which can cause rutting and minor washouts if a gravel driveway is poorly constructed. Proper base preparation, good drainage (ditches or French drains), and periodic regrading help maintain durability in this climate. Expect to add material and regrade every few years, especially after wet seasons.
Using a typical gravel density, 1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at 2 inches of depth. For 100 sq ft you would need about 1 ton at 2", 1.5 tons at 3", and 2 tons at 4". For driveways we commonly recommend 3 to 4 inches of compacted base plus a 1-2" top dress, so plan accordingly.
Yes, Archdale and the surrounding West North Carolina area have local aggregate suppliers, landscaping contractors, and hauling services that handle gravel delivery and installation. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and professional dump truck haulers, so you can get quotes and scheduled delivery without searching individually. For installation, ask for references and examples of recent work in the Piedmont region.
Most standard residential gravel driveways in Randolph County do not require a planning permit, but requirements vary by subdivision, HOA, and whether work affects road access or requires a new driveway culvert. We recommend checking Randolph County zoning or your HOA rules before installation and contacting Hello Gravel's team if you need help confirming local requirements. When in doubt, call county planning to confirm permit needs.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost than asphalt or concrete in Archdale but requires more ongoing maintenance like grading and occasional material top-up. Asphalt and concrete are more durable and lower-maintenance long term but cost significantly more initially and may need professional installation. Choose gravel for lower initial cost, good drainage, and easy repairs; choose asphalt or concrete if you want a smoother, longer-lasting surface with less frequent upkeep.
On slopes in the Piedmont, use a layered approach: a coarse, large-diameter base (1.5"-3" rock or recycled concrete) to resist movement, a middle layer of 3/4" crushed stone for compaction, and a finer top layer if desired for appearance. Incorporate geotextile fabric under the base to limit migration and use larger stone, riprap, or check dams in high-erosion channels. Proper grading, gutters, and downspouts are also important to direct water away from slopes.
Avoid ordering and spreading gravel during very wet periods or immediately before major rain, since saturated soil reduces compaction and increases settling and washouts. Spring freeze-thaw cycles can create soft spots, so late spring through fall are generally the best times for installation in Archdale. If you need material in winter, plan for extra compaction and drainage work and request delivery windows through our checkout calendar.
To control migration, use sturdy edging such as steel or concrete curbing, treated landscape timbers, or poured concrete borders to hold the gravel in place. Gravel stabilization products and grids (geocell or gravel pavers) or polymer binders can also lock surface gravel and reduce migration on inclines common in the Piedmont. For best results on slopes, combine edging with a compacted base layer and geotextile fabric under the gravel.

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.
