Gravel: Built For Wet-Season Drainage • Fast Local Gravel Delivery Options
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 Boiling Spring Lakes Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Boiling Spring Lakes has a population of 5,850 and is part of a region experiencing steady growth, with an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b, which supports a wide range of landscaping and outdoor projects. That combination of sun and periodic heavy rain drives demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners need materials that manage water, prevent erosion, and hold up to seasonal use. As building and yard-improvement projects increase with the area’s growth, quality gravel becomes a go-to choice for driveways, erosion control, French drains, and decorative beds because it balances permeability and durability while reflecting the region’s geology.Popular Projects in Boiling Spring Lakes This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Boiling Spring Lakes gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Boiling Spring Lakes.
Delivery costs vary by supplier, order size, and distance, but many residential deliveries in Boiling Spring Lakes fall in a modest range. For small orders (3-5 tons) delivery fees are often low or free in nearby areas; for longer hauls or next-day delivery expect additional charges that can range up to $100-$200. Hello Gravel shows exact delivery fees at checkout based on your zip code and allows you to choose a delivery date.
For driveways in Boiling Spring Lakes, crushed stone (such as 3/4" crushed or #57 stone) is usually the best choice because it locks together and compacts well. A layered approach—coarser base (1-1.5") under a finer crushed top—gives stability in the sandy coastal soils common around Boiling Spring Lakes. Pea gravel can be used for a more decorative look but tends to shift and requires edging and more maintenance.
Estimate using area x depth: for a 2-car driveway roughly 20 ft wide by 40 ft long (800 sq ft), 3 inches of gravel equals about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 10-11 tons depending on the stone. If you plan 4-6 inches for a sturdier base, expect about 14-22 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions for a precise quote.
Crushed stone is generally a better choice for driveways and areas that need stability because it compacts and resists migration in sandy soils. Pea gravel works well for paths, patios, or decorative areas where drainage and a softer surface are desired, but it will shift more under vehicle traffic and from leaf and organic buildup common in wooded lots. Adding a geotextile fabric and edge restraints helps either material perform better in sandy, wooded yards.
Boiling Spring Lakes' coastal-influenced climate and sandy soils generally provide good drainage, which helps prevent standing water and frost issues. However, heavy rains and occasional storms can wash or thin gravel layers, so proper grading, compaction, and edge restraints are important to maintain longevity. Expect periodic top-ups after large storms, and consider a thicker compacted base where runoff or flooding is a concern.
Contractors commonly install a 4-6 inch compacted base of crushed stone in layers (lifts), using a plate compactor or roller for each lift, and finish with a 1-2 inch wearing course of finer crushed stone. In soft or sandy spots they often place geotextile fabric first and use edging to prevent migration. For driveways, they also check slope and drainage to reduce future washouts.
Some neighborhoods and HOAs around Boiling Spring Lakes may have rules about driveway materials, appearance, or setbacks, and Brunswick County may have requirements for driveways that cross right-of-way or require a culvert. Before ordering gravel, check your HOA covenants and contact Brunswick County public works or planning to confirm any permit or culvert requirements. If in doubt, our team can help point you to local contacts to verify regulations.
Typical maintenance in this region includes annual light regrading and raking, and adding a top-up of gravel every 1-3 years depending on traffic and storms. For many residential driveways, that top-up is often 0.5 to 2 tons per year; delivered material costs vary by stone type and amount. Budgeting a small annual maintenance amount and checking after heavy storms will keep the driveway in good shape.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost and excellent drainage, making it a good choice for Boiling Spring Lakes' sandy soils, but it requires periodic regrading and topping. Asphalt has higher initial cost and less maintenance year-to-year, but poor drainage areas may need extra preparation. Pavers provide a durable, attractive surface with minimal maintenance but are the most expensive; consider budget, drainage, and tree cover when choosing.
