Why Barco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Barco has a population of 590, and its steady regional expansion—reflected in a West North Carolina metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually—translates into consistent demand for residential and small-scale commercial projects. In a climate with 228 sunny days/year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, homeowners are balancing outdoor living upgrades with practical site work: driveways, patios, raised beds, erosion control, and drainage improvements are common. Those projects rely on a mix of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—sourced locally so they match regional geology. Quality, properly graded materials matter here because they control water, stabilize surfaces, and reduce long-term maintenance in a moderate but variable climate.Popular Projects in Barco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Barco Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Barco.
Home and contractor projects in Barco typically use a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for base layers, drainage, and surface finishes. Choice depends on the job: heavier traffic areas usually need coarser, more compactable mixes while decorative areas focus on color and texture. Regional sourcing means appearance and gradation can vary, so review product descriptions and photos before ordering.
Barco's coastal climate brings higher humidity, occasional salt exposure, and frequent heavy rain, so materials that drain well and resist washout are good choices. Freeze-thaw cycles are generally mild here, but seasonal wetting can cause settlement without proper base preparation and compaction. Consider using well-graded aggregates and geotextile separation for wet or low-lying sites.
Aim for drier months and avoid days with heavy rain or saturated ground to reduce tracking and compaction problems; late spring and early fall are often good windows. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Always confirm local weather and have site access prepared before the truck arrives.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, delivered by dump trucks (typically tri-axle), and many areas qualify for free standard delivery. Fees vary by distance, access difficulty, and next-day requests; use the checkout or consult our team to see exact pricing for your zip code. Large or remote jobs may incur additional charges for mileage, permits, or offloading constraints.
For drainage and erosion control choose materials with good permeability and stable particle sizes; mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are commonly used in layered systems with geotextile fabric. Larger, angular material works well for slope stabilization while finer material is better for top dressing and grading. Match the material to the expected water flow, slope steepness, and desired appearance.
Permit requirements vary by Perquimans County and local jurisdictions, so check with your city or county planning office and any homeowners association before starting work. Typical site prep includes clearing, grading, marking utilities, and installing base material and drainage, and many projects require compaction and edge restraint. If you hire a contractor, they can often advise on permits and inspections required for your specific project.
Yes. Local sourcing affects material availability, texture, and color, and some rural roads around Barco may have weight limits, narrow access, or seasonal restrictions that affect truck routing. Our haulers use standard dump trucks but may need alternate delivery points or permit arrangements for tight or weight-restricted sites. Provide accurate access details and any gate or road restrictions when ordering to avoid delays or extra fees.
Required quantities depend on project size and desired depth; small walkways might need only a few tons while a typical residential driveway can range from about 8 to 20 tons depending on area and depth. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions to get a tailored estimate. Remember the minimum 3-ton order and plan for a little extra to allow for compaction and minor grading adjustments.
Many customers hire local contractors for grading, spreading, and compaction, especially for driveways and structural work, while some use DIY crews for decorative or light-duty projects. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and is assessed on site for safety. If you need full installation services, ask our team for local contractor recommendations or plan to coordinate a crew separately.
Natural and regional variations mean gravel, sand, dirt, and stone may not exactly match photos or samples, so first check your order notes and product description for local characteristics. Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and details so we can work with the supplier to address concerns. We will review options and next steps according to our policies and the specific situation.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
