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!

Frequently Asked Questions - Clayton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Clayton.
Delivered gravel in Clayton commonly ranges from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on the material (washed stone, crushed stone, pea gravel), distance from the quarry, and truck access. Specialty colors or screened materials are usually at the higher end of that range. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show local, transparent pricing for your zip code at checkout.
For driveways in Clayton's humid, clay-rich soils, use a 3/4" crushed stone base with a 3/8" to 1/2" stone or crushed gravel top to lock in place and resist rutting. For patios, a compacted 3/4" angular base with a finer finish stone or screenings provides a stable surface for pavers. For drainage use washed gravel or 3/4" crushed stone that allows water through while resisting washout.
A typical 1-car driveway (about 10 ft by 20 ft) with a 3" to 4" finished depth will need roughly 3 to 5 tons of gravel. A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) at the same depth generally needs about 6 to 10 tons. These are estimates and factors like existing base, desired depth, and soil conditions can change the amount.
A 3 ft wide by 20 ft long walkway at 2" depth typically uses about 0.5 to 1 ton of gravel, while a garden bed cover or small patio may require 1 to 3 tons depending on depth. Keep in mind Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so for very small jobs consider ordering the minimum and saving excess for future maintenance. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate tailored to your dimensions.
Yes, local Clayton and Johnston County contractors install gravel driveways, and rates vary based on scope, site access, and whether excavation or base rock is needed. Typical contractor labor and installation can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars to material costs; small installs may be a few hundred while full rebuilds with base and grading are higher. For exact quotes, ask Hello Gravel to connect you with local installers or get multiple bids from contractors familiar with clay soils in the area.
Gravel driveways perform well in Clayton if built with an adequate base and drainage; expect periodic maintenance because clay soils and heavy rain can cause rutting and washouts. Plan on light maintenance like raking and filling low spots every 6 to 12 months, and likely a thicker top-up (adding new gravel) every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic. Proper edge restraint, drainage, and occasional compaction will extend life and reduce frequency of repairs.
Yes, using geotextile fabric plus a crushed stone base is recommended over the typical clay soils around Clayton to improve stability and drainage. Lay fabric to separate soft subgrade from stone, then install 4" to 6" of compacted crushed base for driveways and at least 3" of compacted gravel for walkways. For heavy-traffic driveways or driveway rebuilds, consider 6" to 8" of base stone and professional compaction.
Gravel has the lowest upfront material cost and easiest installation, and it handles freeze-thaw cycles well when drainage is managed, but it requires more frequent maintenance like grading and topping. Asphalt and concrete are more expensive initially but need less routine attention; however, they can be pricier to repair and may require permits or curb work depending on local rules. For many Clayton homeowners wanting a lower-cost, flexible option, gravel is a practical choice if you plan for periodic upkeep.
Local rules vary; some Clayton neighborhoods and HOAs restrict driveway material or front-yard gravel installs, and county or municipal codes may include standards for driveway setbacks, curb cuts, and stormwater. Before installing, check your HOA covenants and contact Johnston County or Clayton town planning for permit requirements or driveway standards. If in doubt, Hello Gravel recommends confirming rules early to avoid costly rework.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and quarries serving the West North Carolina area and can show available materials and pricing for your zip code. Most local suppliers deliver by dump truck and Hello Gravel's platform requires a 3-ton minimum order; delivery fees depend on distance, access, and whether you choose next-day service. Use our website to shop materials, schedule delivery dates, and add notes about access or spreading requests.
For heavy-traffic driveways in Clayton, build a compacted base of 6" or more of 3/4" crushed stone, then add a 2" to 3" finished layer of smaller crushed material to lock the surface. Compact each lift with a vibratory plate compactor or roller and grade for proper drainage away from the driveway. Edge restraints and periodic re-compaction after heavy storms also help prevent rutting over time.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
