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 Carolina Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Carolina Shores, home to 3,335 residents, is part of a growing West North Carolina region expanding at roughly 2.80% annually. The community's moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and plant hardiness zone 8b—supports outdoor living and steady residential projects. As yards are updated and new driveways or drainage fixes are installed, homeowners need aggregates that balance durability, drainage, and local appearance. Regional sourcing means texture and coloration vary, so many residents prioritize consistent quantities, timely delivery, and materials that perform well during both heavy showers and long sunny stretches. Gravel is a practical fit for Carolina Shores because its open, angular structure promotes quick surface drainage after rain while providing stable footing under repeated use. Medium-sized crushed gravel works well for driveways, French drains, patios, and erosion-control swales common in this climate. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available), and tools to calculate amounts so projects keep moving without surprise delays.Popular Projects in Carolina Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Carolina Shores gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Carolina Shores.
For driveways in Carolina Shores, crushed stone like ¾" crushed base or #57 crushed stone is most common because it locks together and drains well. For patios and walkways, pea gravel or decorative river rock is popular for appearance, but it may shift more in wet, coastal conditions. Locally you may also see crushed oyster shell or shell mixes used for a coastal look; expect color and texture to vary by supplier.
Salt spray, heavy rain, and occasional hurricane-driven flooding can speed surface washout and move finer materials, especially on unprotected slopes. High groundwater and frequent wet periods can reduce compaction and cause rutting, so expect to regrade and top up low spots more often than inland. Good drainage, proper base preparation, and periodic maintenance (raking, adding fresh stone) reduce problems.
Use the material density to estimate: for crushed stone/#57 (typical 1.4 tons/yd3), plan about 0.0086 tons per sq ft at 2 inches depth (roughly 116 sq ft per ton at 2"). For pea gravel (lighter, ~1.1 tons/yd3), expect about 0.0068 tons per sq ft at 2 inches (roughly 147 sq ft per ton at 2"). For a 3-inch depth, divide the square-foot-per-ton numbers by 3/2 accordingly and always round up 10% for waste and settling.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers free delivery in many areas, but local fees can vary by supplier and distance from the quarry. Material-only prices in Brunswick County commonly range from about $30 to $75 per ton depending on the type; installed costs (including spreading and minor site prep by a contractor) often run roughly $50 to $120 per ton. For a firm price, check your zip code on our site or request a local quote.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and can connect you with haulers and contractors in Brunswick County who install stabilized gravel systems. Stabilized options include compacted crushed base with geotextile, resin-bound or polymer-stabilized gravel, and recycled asphalt; ask contractors for before/after photos, references, and whether they handle coastal drainage. If you prefer a local install, request quotes through Hello Gravel or search for 'gravel driveway contractor Brunswick County' and vet licenses and reviews.
Measure the length and width to get square footage, choose the desired depth (typical driveway top layer is 2-3 inches, base may be 4-6 inches), and use coverage rates from the material (see crushed stone and pea gravel examples). As a quick rule, for a 2-inch top layer use about 116 sq ft per ton for #57 crushed stone or 147 sq ft per ton for pea gravel, then round up 10% for waste and settling. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help with exact quantities.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout. The driver will assess whether spreading can be done safely upon arrival, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services.
For drainage and erosion control choose larger, angular crushed stone or riprap rather than fine decorative gravel; sizes like 1" to 3" crushed stone, larger graded rock, or riprap work best to resist washout. Combine stone with geotextile fabric underneath, firm edge restraints, and slope stabilization (terracing or swales) to manage runoff in coastal heavy-rain events.
Before storms, secure loose decorative gravel and make sure primary drainage paths and swales are clear to reduce pooling and scour. After a storm inspect for ruts and washouts, regrade and compact repaired areas, and add a 1-2 inch top-up of fresh stone where needed; for major damage contact Hello Gravel for delivery and local contractors for regrading and base repair.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, texture and color reflect the geology of Brunswick County and may differ from photos. You can add color or material preferences in Order Notes at checkout and contact our team for photos of available local stock, but expect natural variation.

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.
