Frequently Asked Questions - Cricket gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cricket.
Gravel creates small gaps and retains some moisture, which can attract crickets, camel crickets, and other insects common in North Carolina's humid climate. Vegetation at the gravel edge and poor drainage increase shelter and food sources for pests. Reducing nearby plant cover, improving drainage, and using angular crushed stone that compacts tightly can make the area less hospitable to insects.
Yes. Mole crickets and other burrowing pests found in NC can tunnel under the surface and displace gravel, leaving depressions and ruts over time. Proper sub-base preparation, good compaction, and occasional replenishing of material prevent most damage; if you have a heavy infestation, consult a pest control pro before regrading.
Certain gravels, like loose pea gravel or very round river rock, create more voids and can hold moisture, which attracts insects and small animals in Cricket's climate. Crushed, angular stone locks together and sheds water better, making it a better choice for driveways and high-traffic areas. When ordering, ask local suppliers about rock shape and wash status to reduce pest habitat.
Gravel tracks indoors when it sits on entry walkways or when there's no clear edge between gravel and hard surfaces. Installing a narrow paved strip, metal or timber edging, or a stepping-stone path and using heavy-duty entrance mats will cut down on tracking. Also consider switching to a finer, angular top layer that interlocks instead of loose round gravel.
Cricket's humid summers and occasional heavy rains mean drainage is a priority; choose gravel that promotes runoff, like 3/4" crushed stone for driveways or larger rock for drainage trenches. Freeze-thaw cycles are milder than in northern states, but wet soils can still settle, so a compacted sub-base and proper grading are important. Local suppliers often stock materials suited to the area's soils, so check regional recommendations when ordering.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. In this region, a good rule is 1 cubic yard = about 1.4 tons (varies by material), and Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 3 in depth is about 1.85 cubic yards, roughly 2.6 tons, so you would meet the minimum by ordering 3 tons or ask us to combine loads for nearby projects.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck haulers that deliver by the scheduled date; most deliveries are by tri-axle dump truck and minimum orders start at 3 tons. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed, so request it at checkout and prepare for driver's safety assessment on arrival. You can add placement notes on your order to help drivers position the load.
If gravel is washing away, the likely causes are inadequate base preparation, poor grading, or lack of edge restraint. In Cricket's soils, adding a compacted aggregate base, installing edging, and increasing slope/grade to improve runoff will help. For areas with repeated problems, consider re-grading, deeper base layers, or using heavier angular stone that resists movement.
Weeds are common where soil and seeds are close to the surface; in North Carolina's warm climate they grow fast. Lay a durable landscape fabric or geotextile under the gravel, use a deeper gravel layer (3-4 inches minimum for paths, more for driveways), and edge the area to prevent soil and seeds from migrating in. Regular maintenance like pulling weeds and topping up gravel annually will also keep growth down.
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.
