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 Cooleemee Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cooleemee (city population 1,437) sits within a region seeing steady development, and a 2.80% annual growth rate is driving more home projects and small-scale construction nearby. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance sun-loving planting with occasional heavy rains that stress drainage and erosion control. As pRoperties are updated or expanded to serve growing households and commuting patterns into the larger metro area (metro area population 2.3+ million), demand for reliable aggregates rises—driveways, French drains, patios, and erosion barriers all Start with the right gravel. Homeowners want materials that perform in both dry and wet spells, are easy to spread or compact, and match local aesthetics without fuss. 3/4" to 1" crushed gravel is a versatile choice for Cooleemee yards and driveways: angular pieces lock together for stability, shed water effectively, and resist rutting compared with finer sands. In this climate, gravel improves surface drainage after the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and reduces soil churn during wet spells while tolerating the 228 sunny days that encourage outdoor living. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers who source regionally appropriate gravel, offers clear pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, and scheduled delivery options (standard 2+ business days, next-day avaIlable before noon CST) so you get the right material where and when you need it. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout and our team will coordinate the details.Popular Projects in Cooleemee This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cooleemee gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cooleemee.
In the Cooleemee / West North Carolina area, gravel delivery prices commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, crusher run), supplier, and season. Final price depends on your zip code, the exact product, and whether you need spreading; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes at checkout and requires a 3-ton minimum order.
Common driveway choices locally are 3/4" crushed stone (or #57), pea gravel, and crusher run. 3/4" crushed stone packs well and gives a stable, well-draining surface; pea gravel looks attractive but shifts and can be hard to drive on unless contained; crusher run compacts into a hard surface but may need edging and periodic topping. Regional suppliers may vary the exact size and color due to local geology, so expect some variation.
A 12x40 ft driveway is 480 sq ft; at 3 inches deep you need about 4.4 cubic yards (roughly 6.2 tons) and at 4 inches about 5.9 cubic yards (roughly 8.3 tons). Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so you would order enough to cover the calculated tons and consider ordering a small extra amount (5-10%) for settling and compaction.
Cooleemee and Davie County have many Piedmont soils that can be clayey and slow-draining, which increases risk of rutting and wAshout if you place gravel directly on native soil. For clay or poorly draining sites, use a compacted crushed-stone base and consider geotextile fabric to separate soil from gravel and improve stability. On slopes, use larger stone at the top and install edging, terraces, or swales to control erosion.
Spring through early fall is usually best in Cooleemee because frozen ground in winter and heavy rains in late fall can complicate grading and compaction. Expect some settling after the first winter and plan a topping or regrade in spring if needed; ordering in dry months makes spreading and compaction easier. If you need next-day delivery, place orders before noon CST and expect an extra fee.
Hello Gravel arranges dump-truck delivery to Cooleemee using local haulers; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Spread fees vary by supplier and crew—common rates near Cooleemee are often $75 to $250 for basic spreading or $30-$100 per hour for labor, but costs depend on access, driveway length, and job complexity. Always request spreading at checkout and confirm details with the delivery driver upon arrival.
Permit and HOA rules vary: many rural Cooleemee pRoperties have few restrictions, but some neighborhoods or Davie County zoning rules can require permits or limit driveway materials. Before installing, check with the Town of Cooleemee and Davie County zoning or your HOA for any requirements, setbacks, or curb-cut rules. Hello Gravel can help with materials and delivery but cannot advise on local permit approvals—contact local authorities to confirm.
In Cooleemee’s climate, expect to regrade and add fresh topping every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles. Regular maintenance includes filling low spots, pulling weeds, and re-compacting after heavy rains or winter thaw; with routine upkeep a gravel driveway can last 10 to 20 years. PRoper base preparation and good drainage reduce maintenance needs significantly.
Gravel is typically the least expensive upfront option for Cooleemee: roughly $1 to $3 per sq ft installed depending on depth and prep, compared with about $3 to $6 per sq ft for asphalt and $6 to $12 per sq ft for concrete. Gravel has lower initial cost but higher ongoing maintenance, while asphalt and concrete are more costly up front but need less frequent topping. Factor in local labor rates, required base work, and long-term maintenance when choosing the best option for your pRoperty.
Yes, pRoperly specified gravel is a good choice for drainage and erosion control in the West North Carolina terrain around Cooleemee—well-graded stone allows water to pass through and reduces surface runoff. For steep or high-erosion areas, use larger stone, install terraces, or pair gravel with geotextile fabric and pRoper swales to prevent wAshouts. For rural roads, a compacted base and periodic grading keep surfaces serviceable; consult local suppliers via Hello Gravel for the right aggregate mix for your use.
