Gravel: Drainage For Conover's Rainy Seasons • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Across Conover
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 Conover Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Conover homeowners (population 20,640) are seeing steady demand for outdoor improvements as local development and renovation follow the region's 2.80% annual growth. With a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b, properties in Conover need materials that manage moisture, support plantings, and stand up to weather cycles. Gravel is a go-to aggregate for these needs: it improves drainage around foundations and beds, creates durable driveways and paths, and provides a low-maintenance groundcover that complements local landscaping styles. Homeowners choosing gravel often prioritize correct sizing, angular texture for compaction, and locally sourced stone that reflects North Carolina's geology and performance expectations under frequent sun and seasonal rain.Popular Projects in Conover This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Conover gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Conover.
Per-ton material prices for common driveway gravels in West North Carolina typically range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (crushed stone, pea gravel, etc.). Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; many local suppliers include standard delivery for nearby addresses, but when a delivery fee applies expect a local range of roughly $35 to $125 flat or about $5 to $15 per ton depending on distance and site access. Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is usually 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Always check your zip code and get a local quote for an exact price.
Angular crushed stone varieties such as 3/4" crushed stone, crushed limestone, #3 (coarse base) and #57 (top layer) perform well because they lock together and resist rutting on clay soils. Pea gravel is attractive but tends to shift under vehicle traffic, so use it as a decorative top layer or for walkways rather than the primary driving surface. Because Conover soils can be clayey and hold water, plan for a stronger compacted base and consider geotextile fabric to separate gravel from soft subsoil.
A common assumption is 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For a 1-car driveway (about 12 ft wide by 20 ft long), expect roughly 1.5 tons at 3" depth, 2.2 tons at 4" depth, and about 3.1 tons at 6" depth. For a 2-car driveway (about 20 ft wide by 20 ft long), expect roughly 5.2 tons at 3" depth, 7.4 tons at 4" depth, and about 10.4 tons at 6" depth; adjust quantities for exact dimensions and compaction.
Hello Gravel connects customers to trusted local suppliers and haulers serving Conover and Catawba County so you can get quotes from nearby quarries and landscape suppliers without calling multiple yards. Typical lead times for standard delivery are 2+ business days; next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee. For specific supplier names, pricing, and exact lead times, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team so we can match you to local vendors.
In Conover's climate expect to regrade and fill low spots after heavy rain seasons or once a year for moderate-use driveways; more heavily used drives may need attention every 6-12 months. Common issues are potholes, ruts, washboarding, weed growth, and migration of fines; adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh top material every 2-4 years helps maintain surface performance. Preventative steps include keeping good drainage, maintaining a crown, and installing edge restraints to limit spreading.
Permit and HOA rules vary by location. Many residential gravel driveways in Catawba County do not require a building permit unless you are altering a driveway apron, curb cut, or affecting public right of way, but Conover city ordinances or neighborhood HOAs may have specific surfacing or setback rules. Check the City of Conover planning/building department and your HOA covenants before you start, and contact Hello Gravel if you need documentation for approval.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance; expect to add material and regrade periodically. Asphalt has a moderate upfront cost and typically needs resurfacing or sealcoating every 10-20 years, while concrete has the highest upfront cost but can last 25-50 years with less frequent major maintenance. In Conover's humid, wet summers, gravel may require more frequent upkeep for drainage and rut prevention, while properly installed asphalt or concrete can reduce long-term maintenance if drainage and base preparation are done correctly.
For typical residential driveways in Conover, build a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of coarse crushed stone and then add a 2 to 3 inch wearing layer of 3/4" crushed stone or #57; for soft clay subgrades or heavy loads, increase base depth to 8 to 10 inches. Use geotextile fabric to stabilize the base over clay soils, create a slight crown (about 1/4" per foot) so water sheds to the sides, and install edge restraints or drainage swales/French drains where needed to prevent standing water and erosion.
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.
