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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.
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.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Ayden Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 8,880, Ayden is a small but growing community within the broader West North Carolina region, which has a metro area population of 2.3+ million. A 2.80% annual growth rate signals steady development pressure—more home improvements, driveways, and small-scale construction projects—which increases demand for reliable bulk materials. Ayden's climate, with 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b, means materials need to perform under both regular sun exposure and seasonal wet periods. Homeowners and contractors are prioritizing low-maintenance landscaping, better drainage, and durable surfaces; that makes choice and quality of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, stone—important for long-term performance, erosion control, and proper settling across local projects.Popular Projects in Ayden This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ayden Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ayden.
Choose a material that matches your budget, desired look, and how much maintenance you want. In Ayden's climate, prioritize materials that promote drainage and resist rutting; gravel, sand, dirt, stone can all work depending on grade, base preparation, and traffic levels. Talk to our team or use the material quiz to match options to your driveway use and slope.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth for your project to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons if needed. Our online material calculator can do the math for common depths and project types, or you can contact our team with dimensions for help. Remember to add 5-10% for compaction and waste on irregular surfaces.
Spring through early fall is generally easiest for outdoor work, but deliveries are available year-round. Avoid scheduling during heavy rains or saturated ground to reduce mess and compaction issues; our team can advise on local weather trends for Ayden. If you need material quickly, ask about next-day delivery options and check local supplier availability.
Yes. We connect you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Ayden and the West North Carolina area. Availability depends on zip code and supplier schedules; enter your zip code on our site or contact us to confirm delivery and timing for your address.
Cost varies based on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and any special services like tailgate spreading. We provide transparent pricing and quotes for each order—use the site to get an estimate or request a customized quote. Keep in mind there is a 3-ton minimum on orders in most areas.
Same-week and next-day deliveries are often possible depending on supplier stock and truck schedules. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, while next-day service may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Enter your zip code and preferred date at checkout to see available delivery windows.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, usually tri-axle, and drivers will place material where accessible and safe. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Provide clear delivery notes and a reachable contact number to help drivers locate and place the load correctly.
Materials that allow good drainage and resist washout tend to perform better in Ayden's humid, occasionally heavy-rain climate. Proper site preparation, grading, and base layers matter more than the specific product; gravel, sand, dirt, stone each have use cases if installed and maintained correctly. If erosion or standing water is a concern, discuss drainage solutions with our team before ordering.
Maintenance depends on the material and use: periodic regrading, topping up, weed control, and addressing drainage are common needs. Expect occasional material replacement or topping every few years for high-traffic areas, and more frequent attention if the site lacks proper base and drainage. Budget for labor or equipment rental if you prefer professional installation.
Installation costs vary by site prep, labor, equipment, and complexity rather than by material alone. Materials that require extensive grading, compaction, or base layers may increase labor and equipment time, while loose-fill options can be quicker to place but may need more frequent replenishment. Get a project estimate that includes both materials and installation to compare true costs.
Yes, neighborhood covenants, HOA rules, and city or county permits may restrict surface materials, colors, drainage changes, or driveway locations. Check your HOA guidelines and contact Ayden city planning or permitting offices for requirements on driveways, curb cuts, and stormwater. If you need help, our team can point you toward common local considerations to review before ordering.
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.
