Materials Available for Delivery
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Buxton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Buxton (city population 1,518) sits inside a growing West North Carolina metro that supports expanding residential and infrastructure needs; with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually, that steady expansion translates into ongoing demand for landscaping, yard upgrades, and home construction projects. Local homeowners are increasingly tackling driveways, patios, drainage fixes, garden beds, and small site work—projects that rely on reliable supplies of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone. Buxton’s climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means materials must balance sun exposure, seasonal wetness, and plant hardiness. That combination affects choices around permeability, erosion control, and mulch or topsoil selection. Regional sourcing shapes color, texture, and gradation, so buying quality bulk materials locally matters: it reduces trips, matches local geology, and ensures you get aggregates and soils suited to the specific environment and construction needs of the area. Given Buxton’s weather patterns and growth-driven construction activity, homeowners face practical material-performance questions: how will a base material drain after heavy rains, how much settling should you expect, and what mix supports plant establishment in zone 8b? Alternating sunny stretches and wet periods influence compaction, settling, and erosion risk, so permeability and particle size distribution matter for long-term stability. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers, offering calculators and guidance to match materials to site conditions, and coordinating delivery windows so projects keep moving without repeated trips to the quarry or garden center.Popular Projects in Buxton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Buxton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Buxton.
Start by thinking about function: load-bearing, drainage, and appearance. For most driveways and paths in Buxton you’ll want a material mix that compacts well, sheds water, and resists shifting in coastal soils; gravel, sand, dirt, stone each perform differently so consider traffic levels and desired look. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project and site conditions.
Buxton’s coastal climate and sandy soils can mean higher water tables, salt exposure, and wind-driven sand. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage, resist erosion, and tolerate occasional salt spray; regional variations mean materials will reflect local geology. Expect some material color and texture variation, and plan for extra edging or stabilization where wind or tides are a concern.
A simple rule of thumb: one cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at a 1-inch depth (half that area at 2 inches). Ton-to-yard conversion varies by material, so use our online material calculator or request help from our team to get an accurate estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and account for compaction or slope. Always order a little extra for grading, settling, or waste.
Avoid heavy rain and high-wind storm seasons when possible, since wet or sandy access can make deliveries and spreading difficult. Late spring through early fall is usually easiest for placement and compaction, but projects can be done year-round with planning. If you need quick turnaround, note our next-day delivery option for orders placed before noon CST (fee applies).
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers with professional dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be possible for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery costs and distances vary by local supplier, so check your zip code and estimated delivery fee during checkout.
Clear a straightforward drop zone with enough room for a tri-axle truck to enter, turn, and park; mark preferred drop locations and remove low-hanging branches or obstacles. If your driveway is narrow, soft, or has weight restrictions, provide alternate staging instructions and inform our team in advance. Drivers may decline unsafe drops, so note any access limitations when placing the order.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and local safety rules. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess what is possible upon arrival. For larger or precise spreading jobs, consider hiring a local contractor or scheduling additional spreading services separately.
Sometimes you will need permits or HOA approval for major grading, shoreline work, or heavy equipment access, especially in coastal or protected zones. Check with Buxton or Dare County local authorities and any community rules before ordering large quantities or scheduling heavy-truck deliveries. If permits are required, plan extra lead time for approvals and inspections.
Match material properties to the task: stabilization needs good compaction, access paths benefit from drainage and firmness, and fill needs appropriate gradation and contamination-free material. Because Buxton has coastal influences, consider materials and installation methods that minimize washout and salt-related deterioration. Our team can suggest options and quantities based on the project type and site conditions.
Materials reflect regional geology, so color, shape, and texture can vary by supplier and local source. You can note color or size preferences in Order Notes, but exact matches to photos are not guaranteed due to natural variation. If appearance is critical, request a sample or talk with our team before ordering.
Use phrases like 'Buxton bulk materials delivery', 'Buxton gravel delivery', 'bulk sand dirt Buxton NC', 'materials delivery 27920', or 'aggregate delivery Buxton NC' to find local suppliers and options. Including project type (driveway, erosion control, fill) and the zip code 27920 helps surface suppliers that serve your immediate area. If you prefer, start on our site and enter your zip code to see available local options.
Look for specifics like desired delivery date, exact quantity or area to cover, preferred drop location, and acceptance of the 3-ton minimum—these show commercial intent. Requests for quotes, scheduling, or tailgate spreading options, and questions about permits or truck access also indicate readiness to proceed. When you have those details, our team can provide pricing and scheduling faster.
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.
