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.

Why Bakersville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bakersville (population 5,010) sits in a growing regional market—West North Carolina's metro area population is 2.3+ million—with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate supports year-round outdoor projects: expect about 228 sunny days per year, roughly 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and conditions in USDA hardiness zone 8b. As the town expands, homeowners and small contractors are undertaking more driveways, drainage upgrades, and landscape renovations, increasing demand for reliable aggregates. Gravel is commonly chosen for its permeability, durability, and low maintenance compared with softer materials. Given Bakersville's seasonal rain and local soils, selecting the right gravel size and gradation can reduce erosion, improve drainage, and keep long-term maintenance costs down—making material quality and correct specification essential for successful projects.Popular Projects in Bakersville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bakersville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bakersville.
Delivered gravel prices in the Bakersville area vary by material, distance from the quarry, and truck access; expect common driveway-grade gravel to run roughly $35 to $75 per ton delivered, while decorative stone can be higher. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and many deliveries in nearby areas include free delivery; exact pricing and any delivery fees are shown at checkout or by contacting our team.
For mountain driveways and drainage around Bakersville, crushed angular stone (for example 3/4" or #57) is most common because it locks together and resists rutting. Coarser rock and larger base material (1-2" crushed stone) are used under the top layer for stability, while river rock or pea gravel work for decorative edging and dry creek beds; regional sourcing means exact mixes may vary.
Tonnage depends on width, length, and depth; as a rule of thumb using about 4" compacted depth, expect roughly 4-6 tons for a 1-car driveway, 10-15 tons for a 2-car driveway, and 20-30 tons for a 3-car driveway. If you plan a thicker base (6" or more) or have a poor subgrade common on mountain lots, add 20% or more to those estimates to allow for compaction and extra material.
Bakersville’s mountain climate can cause freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain that encourage frost heave, washouts, and ruts in gravel surfaces. Mitigate this by installing a stable base, using angular crushed stone, adding proper drainage (ditches, culverts, and slopes), and scheduling regular maintenance such as regrading and topping up gravel every 1–3 years depending on use and weather.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Mitchell County and surrounding western North Carolina areas, sourcing materials from nearby quarries where available. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for specific supplier options, availability, and a delivered quote.
Local requirements vary: Mitchell County or the North Carolina Department of Transportation may require a driveway permit or culvert for new access onto certain roads, and town or HOA rules can limit gravel use for front yards in some neighborhoods. Before ordering, check with Mitchell County planning/public works and your HOA; our team can help you confirm whether permits are likely for your specific address.
On steep, narrow, or rough mountain sites, confirm truck access and turning room before ordering—tri-axle dump trucks need space to approach the drop location. Request delivery notes at checkout with access details, consider staging material at a wider spot if possible, and ask the driver about tailgate spreading (driver discretion, no guarantee) or plan to use a small excavator or rakes to finish placement.
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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.
