Gravel Built For Mountain Rain Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Black Mountain Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Black Mountain has a city population of 11,300 and sits in a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.3+ million. The area’s steady expansion at a growth rate of 2.80% annually, paired with a temperate climate of 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, keeps homeowners and small contractors busy with landscaping, driveway, and erosion-control projects. As properties are improved and new construction follows population growth, demand for reliable aggregates rises. Homeowners look for gravel that offers consistent drainage, long-term stability on slopes and driveways, and low maintenance — qualities that reduce future repairs and handle the mixed sun-and-rain conditions local yards experience.Popular Projects in Black Mountain This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Black Mountain gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Black Mountain.
Typical total cost depends on material type, distance, and whether you request spreading. For basic crushed gravel deliveries to Black Mountain, expect a material plus delivery range roughly $60 to $120 per ton delivered; adding driver tailgate spreading (if available) may add a modest fee or be offered at the driver’s discretion. Exact pricing varies by supplier and load size, so check our quote tool or contact our team for a location-specific estimate.
For driveways in Black Mountain, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed granite give good compaction and traction on hilly terrain, while pea gravel is comfortable for walkways and patios but can shift on slopes. Angular, crushed materials lock together better on the mountain slopes around Black Mountain; pea gravel is decorative but usually needs edging or stabilization in this area.
Black Mountain sees significant rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles that can cause rutting and washouts if drainage is poor. Gravel performs well for drainage compared with impermeable surfaces, but you should plan for good slope grading, drainage channels, and periodic maintenance to prevent erosion during heavy rains and winter freeze-thaw.
Use this quick method: calculate cubic yards then convert to tons (1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3 to 1.4 tons). For a 12x50 ft (600 ft2) driveway: 2" depth = about 3.7 cubic yards or ~5.2 tons; 3" depth = about 5.6 cubic yards or ~7.8 tons; 4" depth = about 7.4 cubic yards or ~10.4 tons. Round up and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so plan accordingly.
Plan routine maintenance at least once a year: rake, refill low spots, and regrade drainage channels after heavy rain seasons. Small top-ups to address settling often require ordering a minimum 3-ton load from Hello Gravel; material-only costs are typically lower than paving but frequency of top-ups can make total lifetime maintenance higher than paved options. For a typical Black Mountain homeowner, expect occasional small deliveries or DIY raking rather than large yearly costs unless the driveway is steep or poorly drained.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage, which helps in Black Mountain’s rainy, freeze-thaw climate, but it needs more regular maintenance and has a shorter lifespan. Asphalt provides smoother driving and longer life than gravel but can crack in freeze-thaw cycles and requires periodic sealing; concrete lasts longest but has highest upfront cost and poorer drainage. Choose based on budget, maintenance willingness, and drainage needs—gravel is often a practical choice in mountainous, well-drained sites.
Local ordinances and HOA rules vary; some HOAs or town regulations restrict loose gravel for front yards or require specific edging and dust control. Before ordering, check Black Mountain town zoning or your HOA covenants and, if needed, include notes at checkout about preferred material characteristics to help meet local standards.
Gravel can reduce surface erosion when combined with proper subgrade preparation, geotextile fabric, terracing, or edging; angular crushed stone is better for slope stability than round pea gravel. For steeper slopes in the Black Mountain area, use fabric underlayment, install retaining elements or terraces, and consider larger stone at the toe of the slope and drainage swales to manage runoff.
Lead times depend on local supplier availability, but standard delivery is generally 2+ business days from order, with a next-day option available if you place the order before noon CST (next-day service may have an extra fee). Because materials are regionally sourced and seasonal demand can affect availability, check your zip code on our site or contact our sales team for the most accurate local timing.
Many local contractors and landscapers offer gravel stabilization solutions like geotextile fabric, gravel grids, or resin-bound systems to reduce migration and maintenance on slopes and driveways. The added cost varies by method: basic fabric or grid installation may add a modest per-square-foot charge, while engineered stabilization or resin systems can add significantly more; get contractor quotes for site-specific pricing and to understand tradeoffs for your Black Mountain property.
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.
