Why Carthage Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Carthage, with a population of 17,940, sits in a growing West North Carolina region that is part of a larger metro area home to 2.3+ million people. Local development is steady, with a growth rate of 2.80% annually, and the climate is moderate—about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions drive steady demand for reliable aggregates: new driveways, drainage upgrades, garden beds, and walkways all benefit from quality gravel that can handle both sun-driven drying and the seasonal rains. Homeowners in Carthage often look for materials that balance durability, permeability, and local appearance, and they value clear guidance on quantities and delivery logistics before a project begins.Popular Projects in Carthage This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Carthage gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Carthage.
Prices vary by material and delivery distance, but expect common driveway/base gravels to run about $25 to $50 per ton in the Carthage area. Converting with a typical density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly $35 to $70 per cubic yard. These are estimates only—use our zip-code lookup on Hello Gravel to get exact, up-to-date pricing for your address.
Common choices include crushed stone (#57 or 3/4"), crushed limestone (driveway mix), and pea gravel. Crushed stone packs well and resists rutting, limestone binds slightly for stability but can be slick when wet, and pea gravel looks nice but shifts more and needs edging. Pick crushed angular stone for durability, and pea gravel for aesthetic or low-traffic areas.
A 12 x 50 ft driveway is 600 sq ft. At 3 inches deep that equals about 5.6 cubic yards (about 7.8 tons); at 4 inches that equals about 7.4 cubic yards (about 10.4 tons). Order at least the calculated amount plus 10-25% extra for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Angular crushed stone with a mix of sizes and a compactible fines layer performs best in humid, freeze-thaw areas and over clay soils because it locks together and sheds water. Add a geotextile fabric and a compacted base layer to reduce settling and rutting, and ensure positive drainage with crowning or slopes. Avoid loose, round river rock on high-traffic or clay sites since it tends to migrate and hold water.
Yes — Hello Gravel partners with vetted local suppliers and haulers that deliver to Carthage and Moore County. We can also connect you with local contractors who offer spreading or installation in many areas, though spreading is provided at the driver's discretion. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to see available suppliers and service options near you.
For slopes, use larger, angular stone (1" to 2" or riprap) near concentrated flow zones and a graded layer of crushed stone for walking/drive areas. Combine stone with erosion-control fabric, terraces, check dams, or planted vegetation to slow runoff. For severe slopes, consult a local civil or landscape contractor to size materials and drainage structures properly.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to install, but requires regular maintenance like regrading, infill, and edging. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but generally need less frequent maintenance and provide a smoother surface; they also require professional installation. For rural Carthage properties where budget and drainage flexibility matter, gravel is often the practical choice, while asphalt/concrete suit high-traffic or low-maintenance priorities.
Rules vary by neighborhood and HOA; some HOAs restrict visible stone types or require specific edging and colors. County permits are not typically required for private driveways, but you should confirm with the Moore County planning department and check any HOA covenants for Carthage neighborhoods. When in doubt, contact local authorities or your HOA before ordering material.
Plan to rake or regrade low spots yearly or after heavy storms, add fresh gravel (1 to 3 inches) every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, and maintain edges to prevent spreading. Keep drainage ditches and culverts clear and fix ruts promptly by filling and compacting. Periodic addition of fines or a surface dressing can reduce dust and tracking in humid climates.
Measure area in square feet and convert depth in feet: (area x depth) / 27 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the material density (use about 1.4 tons per cubic yard for most gravels) to get tons. Add 10-25% for compaction and waste depending on site conditions, and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders are 3 tons—enter your address on our site for a precise quote.
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.
