Gravel: Drainage For Cliffside's Rainy Seasons • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Across Cliffside
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.
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.

Why Cliffside Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cliffside is a small but growing community of 710 residents, situated within a metro area of 2.3+ million people that is expanding at 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—combines warm, sunny stretches with enough seasonal rain to challenge surface drainage and slope stability. That mix of steady population growth and climate-driven maintenance needs is fueling demand for landscaping, driveway work, and small-scale construction projects. Homeowners in Cliffside look for reliable, locally sourced aggregates because quality gravel controls runoff, stabilizes soils, and creates durable walking and driving surfaces that withstand both sun exposure and seasonal storms.Popular Projects in Cliffside This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cliffside gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cliffside.
Delivered prices in West North Carolina vary by type and supplier, but expect typical ranges: crush-and-run about $25-$45 per ton, #57 stone about $30-$60 per ton, and pea gravel about $40-$80 per ton. Because 1 cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.3–1.5 tons, that translates to about $35-$120 per cubic yard depending on type and local delivery. Final price depends on exact material, local quarry, haul distance, and seasonal demand—check our checkout for exact local quotes.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which matches many local suppliers in Rutherford County. Delivery fees are often included for short hauls, but rural or long-haul drops in mountain areas may carry additional charges; call or check your zip code on our site for the exact fee and minimums for your address. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee, while standard delivery is usually 2+ business days.
For sloped or mountain driveways, angular, crushed materials perform best: a compacted base of crush-and-run or 2” minus with a surface layer of #57 or 3/4" crushed stone gives good traction and compaction. Avoid loose, rounded stones like pea gravel for steep runs because they shift and create ruts. Proper base preparation, drainage, and occasional top-ups are essential on slopes to minimize washouts.
A typical 1-car driveway (about 10 ft by 20–25 ft) at 4–6 inches of depth needs roughly 2.5–4 cubic yards, or about 3.5–6 tons. A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20–25 ft) at the same depth needs roughly 5–8 cubic yards, or about 7–11 tons. If your lot is very sloped or has poor soil, plan on extra material for a deeper base and transition zones—ask our team for a site-specific estimate.
West North Carolina’s heavy seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles increase washouts, rutting, and potholes in gravel drives, especially where drainage is poor. Expect to grade and add material every 1–3 years in high-traffic or wet spots, with regular maintenance extending life to 5–15 years. Good base construction and drainage features (ditches, culverts, crowns) reduce repairs and prolong service life.
Geotextile fabric is often recommended on steep or wet sites in Cliffside to separate gravel from soft soil, reduce mixing, and improve load distribution. Material cost is typically about $0.20–$1.00 per square foot, with installation and labor adding to total project cost; overall installed costs vary by site complexity. For steep driveways or poor subsoils, fabric can reduce long-term maintenance and may be cost-effective despite the upfront expense.
Gravel is the lowest initial cost—roughly $1–$3 per square foot installed—but requires periodic maintenance every few years. Asphalt has a higher upfront cost (about $3–$6 per square foot) and typically lasts 15–20 years with maintenance. Concrete is usually most expensive initially (about $4–$10 per square foot) but can last 25–40 years; local hillside conditions and drainage can shorten lifespans, so factor in maintenance and repair costs when comparing.
Angular crushed stone like #57 or 3/4" crushed stone is best for drainage and erosion control because it compacts yet allows water to pass. For steep erosion-prone areas, larger riprap or graded stone with a properly installed base and geotextile is recommended. For low-maintenance walkways, a compacted crushed stone surface or stabilized gravel system offers better stability than loose rounded gravels like pea stone.
Rules vary: Cliffside properties fall under Rutherford County jurisdiction and some neighboring towns or HOAs may have specific surface or appearance rules. Before installing or refacing a driveway, check with Rutherford County planning, your town office if applicable, and any HOA covenants to confirm allowable materials, setbacks, or aesthetic requirements. If you need help finding local contacts, our team can point you to county resources.
Locally available options include mechanical stabilizers (plastic grids, geogrids) and polymer binders that lock surface gravel into a semi-solid layer. Stabilizers add to upfront cost—grid systems and installation can range from $1–$6 per square foot and polymer treatments vary—yet they greatly reduce migration and maintenance on slopes and high-traffic areas. For steep or heavily used driveways in Cliffside, a stabilizer is often cost-effective versus frequent regrading and material replacement.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
