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 Aurora Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Aurora is a smaller but growing community with a city population of 1,650 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.3+ million residents. With an annual growth rate of 2.80% and a moderate climate (annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b), demand for practical, low-maintenance landscaping and site work is increasing. Homeowners and contractors are adding or repairing driveways, patios, drainage features, and garden beds as development spreads. That growth, combined with local weather patterns, means quality aggregates are in demand: well-graded gravel helps control runoff, limits erosion, and creates durable surfaces that stand up to both sun exposure and periodic heavy rain. Gravel is especially well suited to Aurora’s conditions because it improves surface drainage where rainfall collects and resists rutting in sun-exposed areas. Properly chosen gravel reduces standing water, protects foundations, and makes pathways and driveways easier to maintain in a climate with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and 228 sunny days per year. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and trusted haulers so you can order the right gravel online, pick a delivery date (standard delivery: 2+ business days; next-day available for orders placed before noon CST), and get professional guidance—minimum orders start at 3 tons and optional tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout.Popular Projects in Aurora This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aurora gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Aurora.
Common types available around Aurora include crushed stone base (3/4" minus), driveway surface mixes (small crushed or pea gravel), decorative crushed stone (3/8" to 1"), and larger rock for erosion control (riprap). Availability varies by local supplier, so color and exact size may reflect eastern North Carolina geology. Use our material quiz or contact the team to match a product to your project.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. As a rough guide, one cubic yard of gravel typically weighs 1.3 to 1.7 tons depending on material; for example, 3/4" crushed stone is about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Use our online calculator or call our team to get a precise estimate for your area and project.
Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks, which commonly carry about 10 to 15 tons depending on material density and local weight limits. Most suppliers that service Aurora source regionally, so typical haul distances are 20 to 60 miles but can be longer for specialty materials. If you need a specific drop location, tell us at checkout so the driver can confirm access and placement.
Prices in rural eastern North Carolina commonly range roughly $20 to $45 per ton and $25 to $55 per cubic yard depending on material type, quality, and delivery distance. Decorative or specialty gravels are toward the higher end, while common base gravels and recycled crushed concrete are typically less expensive. Get an exact quote in checkout or contact our sales team for current pricing to Aurora.
Small deliveries generally do not require hauling permits, but installing a new driveway or altering a public right-of-way may require a driveway permit or county approval from Pamlico County. If your project affects a county road, wetlands, or drainage easements, check with Pamlico County public works or zoning before ordering. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help point you to the right county office.
Aurora sits in the eastern North Carolina coastal plain with a high water table and seasonal heavy rainfall, so a well-draining base is essential. Use a compacted base of crushed stone (3/4" minus or #57) with geotextile fabric underlay in low or wet areas, and install grading and swales to direct runoff away from the surface. For persistent wet spots consider engineered fill, raised sections, or using crushed concrete with a proper sub-base and compaction.
Some local suppliers and haulers near Aurora do offer spreading, grading, and compaction for an additional fee, but services vary by provider and are not guaranteed. You can request these services at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival, but final agreement is between you and the supplier/driver. If you need full installation, ask our team to confirm availability and pricing before ordering.
Yes. Crushed concrete is widely used in eastern North Carolina as a durable, lower-cost base material for driveways and agricultural roads. It performs well when properly graded and compacted, but because recycled material can vary, ask your supplier about particle size and whether the product is screened or contains fines.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee. Peak landscaping months and severe weather can extend lead times, and some specialty decorative gravels have limited seasonal availability. Order early for spring projects and check with our team if you have a tight schedule.
Many local quarries and suppliers provide volume discounts or commercial pricing for repeat customers, farms, contractors, and municipalities. If you expect regular deliveries or need a large quantity, contact our sales team to arrange pricing and scheduling tailored to your project. We can connect you with local suppliers that offer bulk rates.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
