Why Belmont Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Belmont is a growing community (city population: 25,030) sitting inside a wider regional market (metro area population: 2.3+ million) that is experiencing steady expansion. With a local growth rate of 2.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually, homeowners and contractors in Belmont are regularly updating driveways, drainage, and landscape beds to match evolving neighborhood needs. Those development and renovation projects increase demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners want materials that perform through summer sun, handle periodic heavy rainfall, and work well with local soils and plantings in hardiness zone 8b. Clear material specs and dependable delivery matter more here than in places with more extreme climates.Popular Projects in Belmont This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Belmont gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Belmont.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, though actual arrival windows depend on local hauler schedules. Lead times from local suppliers in Belmont and the Charlotte metro often range from 2 to 7 business days depending on material availability and season.
For driveways in Belmont, a compactable base like crusher-run or 3/4" minus (base rock) topped with #57 crushed stone is common because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel works well for patios and walkways for appearance and comfort underfoot, but it is not ideal as a driveway surface where vehicle turning and rutting occur. Regional suppliers in Gaston County typically stock these common mixes, but color and stone type can vary by quarry.
Belmont sees humid summers, moderate rainfall, and occasional freeze-thaw in winter which can cause settling and rutting if the base is inadequate. Expect to regrade and add surface gravel every 1-3 years in high-traffic areas, and address potholes promptly by filling and compacting. Good drainage and a stable base greatly reduce maintenance needs in this climate.
Use this two-step formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then estimate tons = cubic yards * 1.3 (regional variation possible). For example, a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft) at 3 inches depth is about 4.4 cubic yards and roughly 5.7 tons. Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert your exact dimensions into tons and suggest recommended depths.
Requirements vary by location; some Belmont properties and Gaston County subdivisions have HOA covenants or city zoning rules that limit driveway materials, width, or visible edging. Check with the City of Belmont planning department and your HOA before starting work, and request documentation or approval if required. If you need help understanding local rules, contact Hello Gravel's sales team for guidance.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers serving Belmont and the greater Charlotte metro area, so material sources reflect local geology and quarry stocks. Typical lead times are 2-7 business days for most standard gravels, but specialty colors or large orders can take longer. For specific availability and the soonest delivery window, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team.
Gravel has a lower upfront material cost and faster installation than asphalt or concrete, and it allows better stormwater infiltration, which is helpful for managing runoff in Belmont's rainy months. However, gravel requires more regular maintenance (regrading, adding stone) and can rut with heavy traffic, while asphalt and concrete are lower maintenance but higher cost. Choose based on budget, desired maintenance level, and local drainage needs.
A common approach is 4-6 inches of compactable base rock (crusher-run) compacted in 2-3 inch lifts, followed by a 2-3 inch surface layer of #57 or similar crushed stone. Compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller and consider a layer of geotextile fabric underneath to limit mixing with native soil on softer or wetter sites. Proper grading and compaction are crucial in Belmont's clay-prone spots to prevent settling and washouts.
Prevent washout by ensuring proper slope grading, installing swales or berms to divert runoff, and using edging or retaining features to hold stone in place. For steeper slopes, use larger angular stone at the top and toe, install erosion-control mats, and consider terraces or small retaining walls. Regular inspection after heavy storms and quick repairs help maintain long-term stability.
Costs vary with site prep, access, base depth, and edging choices; simple material delivery for a standard 12 ft x 40 ft driveway starts at the material cost (minimum 3 tons) plus local delivery fees, while full professional installation (grading, base, compaction, edging) typically ranges widely depending on scope. For an accurate estimate tailored to your property, request a quote through Hello Gravel or get local contractor bids that include site prep and compaction. Hello Gravel can connect you with local haulers and suggest installers to provide competitive quotes.
Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and you should request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. For best results, mark your desired dump area, clear obstacles, and confirm access for a standard tri-axle dump truck. If you need precise placement or spreading, plan to hire labor or request assistance from a local contractor.
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.
