Gravel: Rain-Ready Drainage For Canton Yards • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Across Canton
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 Canton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canton's city population is 14,920, and the town is growing steadily with a rate of 2.80% annually. Positioned within the West North Carolina region and part of a metro area population of 2.3+ million, Canton enjoys a moderate climate with about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions support steady residential projects—new driveways, patio updates, bank stabilization, and landscape refreshes—which create ongoing demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners look for quality gravel because the right material prevents pooling, improves drainage on sloped lots, and gives long-lasting, low-maintenance surfaces that stand up to Canton's seasonal weather and shifting soils.Popular Projects in Canton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Canton.
Delivered gravel prices in Canton commonly range from about $35 to $75 per ton depending on the type of stone, distance from the quarry, and whether delivery is included. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; local delivery fees for longer hauls can add $75 to $150 or more. For an exact price, enter your Canton zip code on our site or contact our team for a tailored quote.
Hello Gravel partners with multiple local quarries and suppliers that serve Canton and western North Carolina; specific vendors vary by zip code. Typical lead times are 2 to 7 business days, though many orders are completed in our 2+ business day window; rush next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders are generally 3 tons, and lead times can lengthen during heavy demand or after storms.
For steep, wet driveways around Canton we recommend angular crushed stone such as #57 or a crushed stone base (crusher run) with a surface layer of larger angular stone for traction. Pea gravel and smooth river rock tend to shift and wash out on slopes, so avoid them for steep driveways. Proper base, drainage, and compaction are as important as the stone choice in high-rainfall West North Carolina.
Use 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on stone density. Example estimates: a 50 x 12 ft driveway (600 sq ft) needs about 8 tons for a 3" top layer, about 10–11 tons for 4", and about 16 tons for a 6" full-depth base and top. A 1-car driveway (12 x 20 ft) at 3" is roughly 3 tons; always round up for compaction, settling, and waste.
Canton’s seasonal freeze-thaw and clay-rich subsoils increase frost heave and slow drainage, so you should build a well-draining base: remove soft clay, install a compacted crushed-stone subbase, and include a slight crown and surface drains. Geotextile fabric between clay and stone can reduce mixing and improve longevity. Proper compaction and slope to move water away are key to avoiding washouts and heaving.
Contractor rates in the Canton area vary, but expect labor and equipment to add roughly $10 to $30 per ton on top of material cost for hauling, spreading, and compaction on straightforward sites. For a typical single-car driveway, total installed costs often fall between $800 and $2,500 depending on accessibility, required excavation, and edge restraints. Ask contractors for itemized estimates and check whether mobilization or small-load surcharges apply.
Permitting rules can vary by location and whether the driveway impacts a public right-of-way or county stormwater systems; for work affecting curbs, curb cuts, or state-maintained roads, you may need approval from Town of Canton public works or NCDOT. Always check with Haywood County and the Town of Canton before starting work, especially for properties near creeks or in regulated flood zones. If in doubt, our team can point you toward local offices to contact.
Large tri-axle dump trucks need reasonable turning room, a stable approach, and clearing from low branches; very steep, narrow, or soft wooded drives can prevent direct truck access. Suppliers sometimes offer smaller dump trucks, ATV delivery, wheelbarrow crews, conveyors, or offloading to a nearby safe spot for customer pickup, but these are site-dependent and may carry extra fees. Add site-access notes to your order and our team will review delivery options with the hauler.
For driveways in Canton, install a 4" to 6" compacted crushed-stone base (crusher run) topped with a 2" to 3" surface layer of #57 or similar angular stone, compacting each layer with a plate compactor. Patios and walkways typically use a 4" compacted base plus a 1" to 2" bedding layer; use geotextile fabric over clay. Install durable edge restraints (timber, pavers, concrete) and ensure a crown or slope to shed water, which helps limit erosion in West NC’s wet climate.
Demand and prices usually peak in spring and summer when landscaping and driveway work is busiest, and they can dip in late fall and winter when contractors have less demand and quarries less volume. Heavy rain, storms, or winter freeze-thaw can delay deliveries and temporarily raise lead times and costs. For the best availability and pricing in Canton, consider ordering in off-peak months or booking early for spring projects.
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.
