Gravel: Superior Drainage For Mountain Rainfall • Next-Day Gravel Delivery To Your Driveway
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.
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 Beech Mountain Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Beech Mountain homeowners live in a small but growing community with a city population of 332, set inside a broader region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually—creates alternating wet and dry conditions that affect driveways, drainage, and planting areas. That mix of weather and geography creates steady demand for quality aggregates: gravel for driveway bases, drainage trenches, and erosion control, plus decorative stone for low-maintenance landscaping. Homeowners often choose gravel when they need a durable, permeable surface that manages runoff and fits sloped yards. Clear guidance on sizes, coverage, and scheduling matters for DIY projects and for contractors working to match materials to local site conditions.Popular Projects in Beech Mountain This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Beech Mountain gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Beech Mountain.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Delivered prices in mountain areas like Beech Mountain vary with material and haul distance, but expect roughly $400 to $1,200 per truckload as a ballpark range; steep, remote, or winter deliveries can cost more. For an exact price, get a quote—Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show delivered pricing for your zip code.
Multiply area by desired depth to get volume: at 2 inches deep, 1,000 sq ft needs about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 10 tons); at 3 inches it needs about 9.3 cubic yards (about 12 to 13 tons). Mountain-grade materials can weigh a bit more, so use these as estimates and round up when ordering.
For flat, low-traffic garden paths 2 inches can be okay, but it is not recommended for Beech Mountain driveways. Steep grades, winter plowing, and heavier vehicles need a stronger section: a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed rock with a 2 to 3 inch top layer of finer gravel is a more durable approach.
Buying in bulk and having it delivered is usually cheapest per ton, but in mountain areas hauling costs can raise prices. If you can safely pick up from a nearby quarry and load a truck yourself you may save on delivery, but account for lift, hauling up steep roads, and time—Hello Gravel simplifies this by showing local supplier pricing and delivery.
Coverage depends on depth and material weight, but a good rule is roughly 80 to 120 sq ft at 2 inches deep. For 3 inches expect about 50 to 80 sq ft per ton. Use the higher end with lighter, clean stone and the lower end for dense mountain stone and compaction losses.
Cost depends on width and depth; for a single-car 20 ft by 10 ft area (200 sq ft) at a 3-inch finished depth you would need about 1.8 cubic yards (roughly 2.5 to 3 tons). With regional pricing and delivery in Beech Mountain expect a rough cost range of $150 to $450, but steep or difficult drops can increase the price—get a quote for accuracy.
A 20x20 area is 400 sq ft; at 3 inches that is about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 4.5 to 5.5 tons. Expect delivered material costs in the ballpark of $300 to $800 depending on material type and delivery difficulty; Hello Gravel shows delivered pricing and available materials for your address.
Many deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks which need good road access, turning room, and safe grades. Narrow, icy, or steep driveways may prevent trucks from reaching the drop point; if access is limited, drivers may dump in a safer location nearby. Add access notes at checkout and call Hello Gravel if you have tight roads so we can coordinate with the supplier and driver.
Yes—because of freeze-thaw cycles, steep slopes, and winter plowing, a compacted base is important for longevity. A typical build is 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or road base, with geotextile fabric where erosion is a concern, topped by 2 to 3 inches of finish stone.
Angular crushed stone, such as 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone, locks together better on slopes and under plows than round river rock. For base layers use class II or road base; for top dressing choose smaller, angular material that compacts well and sheds water. Regional sourcing means color and exact gradation will vary in Beech Mountain.
Standard Hello Gravel delivery is typically 2+ business days, though mountainous routes and weather can add time. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for eligible areas, but confirm scheduling during winter or storm seasons when access and timing may be affected.
Yes if built correctly: a well-compacted base and angular stone top layer resist displacement from plows and freeze-thaw movement. Regular maintenance like regrading low spots and adding material where washouts occur will keep the surface functional through winters.
Measure the area in square feet, choose the target depth in inches, then compute cubic yards with: (area * depth in feet) / 27. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to convert to tons, then round up and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery. If you want help, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact the team for a quote.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
