Frequently Asked Questions - Butner gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Butner.
Expect material costs for common gravel types to range roughly $20 to $60 per ton in the Butner area depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, recycled). Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often offers free delivery in many areas; installation by a contractor (grading, base, compacting) commonly adds $500 to $3,000 for a typical residential driveway depending on size and site prep. Get a local quote for an accurate price because access, slope, and soil condition in Butner can change labor and equipment needs.
For driveways in Butner’s clay soils, crushed stone or crusher-run (3/4" minus) is usually best because it compacts well and resists rutting. For patios and paths, pea gravel looks good but can shift and hold moisture in humid weather; a compacted crushed stone base with a pea gravel top or pavers on a compacted base gives the best long-term performance. Consider adding a base layer and good drainage to avoid pooling and washout during heavy rain.
Use a simple rule: calculate area (feet) x depth (inches) to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to convert to tons. Examples: a 10 ft x 50 ft driveway at 3" depth is about 6 tons; the same driveway at 4" is about 8 tons. For patios and parking pads, estimate similarly and remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Butner and the surrounding West North Carolina region; availability varies by zip code so check our site. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days and may be free in many areas, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout, but drivers do it only at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
With proper base and drainage, a gravel driveway in Butner can perform well for 10-20 years, but it requires routine maintenance like grading, adding 1-3 inches of material every few years, and fixing low spots after heavy rains. Typical contractor maintenance visits for grading or regrading run from about $100 to $600 depending on driveway size and scope; full rework including additional base and compaction will cost more. Expect higher maintenance needs on slopes and clay-heavy sites where water pools or causes erosion.
Crushed stone is generally lower-maintenance and provides a firmer walking surface in Butner’s humid climate, making it a better long-term choice for patios and high-traffic paths. Pea gravel is cheaper and attractive for casual seating areas but will shift and may require edging and more frequent topping, especially after heavy rain. For mixed use, install a compacted crushed-stone base and use pea gravel only as a decorative top layer if desired.
Yes—on slopes or sites with clay soils common around Butner, a geotextile fabric under the base helps prevent mixing of subgrade and aggregate, improving stability. A compacted base of larger stone (3/4" minus or #2 stone) with a finished wearing course is recommended, and in severe erosion situations a stabilizer or mechanical grid can reduce migration. Have a local contractor inspect steep sites; drainage improvements (swales or French drains) often make as much difference as material choice.
Recycled gravel is often less expensive and can be a sustainable choice for driveways and fill, but it may contain more fines and vary more in consistency than new crushed stone. In Butner, recycled material can work well for base layers or temporary driveways, but for finished surfaces or high-traffic areas new crushed stone usually performs better and drains more reliably. Ask suppliers for a material description and use recycled material primarily where cost savings outweigh a need for a very durable finished surface.
Permit and HOA rules vary: some parts of Butner or nearby jurisdictions may require a driveway permit, curb cuts, or limits on surface materials, and some HOAs restrict gravel driveways. Before ordering, check with the Town of Butner public works or planning department and review any HOA covenants that apply to your property. If in doubt, contact our sales team or the local permitting office for guidance.
Commercial projects in Butner usually involve larger volumes, heavier equipment, and more demanding site prep, so pricing is quoted per ton/material plus separate line items for mobilization, compaction, drainage, and erosion control. Contractors price smaller residential jobs with simpler access and less mobilization cost, so per-ton material costs may be similar but labor and equipment charges tend to scale differently. For accurate comparisons, get itemized bids that separate material, delivery, hauling, site prep, and compaction costs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
