Gravel: Engineered For Wet Southern Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Ash
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!

Why Ash Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ash has a city population of 2,900 and sits in a growing regional market tied to a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With an annual growth rate of 2.80%, new construction and yard projects are common as homeowners renovate driveways, install patios, and improve drainage on sloped lots. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rain annually, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun-exposed landscaping and rain-driven erosion concerns. That combination increases demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners look for gravel that controls runoff, resists rutting, and produces a stable, low-maintenance surface that complements local soils and stone tones. Clear information on material type, coverage, and delivery timing helps DIYers and contractors plan efficiently and avoid costly overorders or delays.Popular Projects in Ash This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ash gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ash.
Typical gravel prices in Ash, NC vary by type: expect roughly $25 to $40 per ton for basic crushed stone or recycled material, $35 to $60 per ton for decorative pea gravel or river rock. Delivery fees depend on distance and truck size; many local deliveries are included or low cost for nearby loads, but remote or small orders can add $30 to $100. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard 2+ business day delivery; contact our team for an exact, local quote.
For mountain terrain in West North Carolina, angular crushed stone (3/4") or crusher-run (mixed stone and fines) are the most common because they lock together and compact well on slopes. Pea gravel and smooth river rock are less ideal on grades because they shift and roll under tires. Use a coarser base layer (larger crushed stone) with a compactable top layer for the best durability.
Higher rainfall and periodic freeze-thaw in West North Carolina increase risk of wAshouts, ruts, and potholes, especially on slopes or poor drainage areas. Good drainage, periodic regrading, and adding fines or fresh stone after heavy seasons help maintain a smooth surface. Expect to do light maintenance in spring and after major storms to prevent erosion.
Typical installation costs vary with access, slope, and prep work, but expect roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for grading, installing geotextile fabric, and compacting a pRoper base. For a 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) that range equals about $720 to $1,920 in labor and prep, plus material costs. Steeper sites or difficult access can push costs higher, so get a local estimate.
Approximate amounts using crushed stone at common depths: for a 12x40 driveway (480 sq ft) you need about 6 tons at 3" depth, 8 tons at 4" depth, and 13 tons at 6" depth. For a 16x50 driveway (800 sq ft) you need about 10 tons at 3", 14 tons at 4", and 21 tons at 6". These are estimates; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a quote for a precise quantity.
Some local suppliers and haulers near Ash may offer same-day delivery for nearby locations, but avaIlability is limited and often depends on truck schedules. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion for safety and logistics. Contact Hello Gravel early and provide your zip code for the fastest scheduling and to ask about spreading options.
Permit and HOA requirements vary: in many rural parts of Ashe County a new gravel driveway or resurfacing may not need a building permit, but driveway connections to public roads, curb cuts, or drainage changes might. If you are in a development or have an HOA, you should check HOA rules first because they can restrict material or appearance. Contact your local town or county building department and your HOA before ordering materials.
Recycled gravel is often avaIlable locally and tends to be cheaper than new crushed stone, but its composition and grading vary more. It can be a good budget choice for base layers or low-visibility driveways, but it may contain fines, brick, or concrete fragments that affect drainage and long-term performance. For a longer-lasting, more stable surface on sloped or heavily used driveways, new crushed stone is usually the better option.
On steep or sloped sites we recommend a compacted base of 6" to 8" using larger crushed stone, topped with 2" to 3" of 3/4" crushed stone for the wearing surface. Add geotextile fabric under the base and use solid edge restraints (timber, pavers, or concrete curb) to keep material from migrating. Also include good drainage features such as swales, culverts, or French drains to manage runoff and reduce wAshout.
Annual maintenance costs vary with driveway length, slope, and storm damage, but many homeowners spend roughly $100 to $600 per year on light maintenance like regrading, adding 1 to 3 tons of fines, or patching. Full regrading or larger repairs after heavy storms may cost $200 to $1,000 or more depending on access and scope. Regular inspections and small seasonal fixes keep long-term costs lower.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
