Gravel: Durable For Wet Carolina Soils • Fast Local Gravel Delivery On Your Schedule
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 Dana Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dana (city population 2,199) sits within a growing regional market near a metro area population of 2.3+ million and is experiencing a 2.80% annual growth rate. With 228/year sunny days, annual rainfall 34.00 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance wet periods with long stretches of sun—conditions that increase demand for durable, well-draining aggregates. Gravel is a common choice for driveways, patios, drainage swales, and base material for pavers because it resists rutting, promotes runoff, and reduces erosion. DIY homeowners and small contractors need clear quantity guidance, predictable delivery, and materials that match local soils and seasonal rainfall, so they can avoid costly rework and keep projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Dana This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dana gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dana.
Expect a range rather than a single price: delivered gravel to Dana commonly runs about $30 to $70 per ton, or roughly $40 to $95 per cubic yard, depending on stone type, distance, and truck access. Mountainous delivery routes and small-town sourcing can push prices toward the high end, and specialty colors or decorative stone cost more. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery is avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
On steep, mountain terrain choose angular, well-graded crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or 3/4" minus) that compacts and locks together for traction. For very steep sections combine a larger base course (1" to 2") with a surface layer of crusher run or 3/8" fines to improve compaction and reduce wAshout. Consider geotextile fabric, grade breaks, and drainage structures to keep material in place on slopes.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (length(ft) x width(ft) x depth(in)) / 324. To convert cubic yards to tons for typical crushed stone, multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 (this varies by stone type and moisture). Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers in the West North Carolina area so material is sourced regionally and reflects local geology. Deliveries are typically by dump truck (often tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum; standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery can be requested before noon CST for an additional fee. Tailgate spreading may be avaIlable at the driver’s discretion; note that tight access, long driveways, or weight-restricted roads can change delivery pricing or require special equipment.
Permit and HOA rules vary by town and county, so check with Dana town hall, your county planning office, and any homeowners association before Starting work. Small towns and county road departments sometimes require driveway permits or curb-cut approvals, especially where drainage or sight lines are affected. When in doubt, contact local authorities early and mention planned changes in surface material to avoid unexpected delays.
Dana’s mountain climate brings heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles, so pRoper drainage is essential: build a packed, crowned surface to shed water, install culverts or French drains where runoff concentrates, and use geotextile fabric to separate soil from stone. Retaining edges or berms can slow erosion on slopes, and a stable base layer of larger stone will help prevent wAshouts during heavy storms.
Routine upkeep includes annual grading and filling low spots; many homeowners regrade once a year and add 1 to 3 inches of stone every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and weather. Costs vary by job size and whether you hire equipment, but expect occasional material additions (a few hundred dollars for small driveways) and more after major storms. Regular maintenance extends lifespan and reduces long-term replacement costs.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to install for rural or sloped sites, but it requires ongoing maintenance; with care a gravel driveway can last 10 to 20 years. Asphalt is mid-range cost with lower maintenance than gravel but can soften in hot weather and may need resealing every 5-15 years. Concrete has the highest upfront cost but the longest service life (often 25-40 years) and lowest routine maintenance; however, freeze-thaw and steep slopes common in West North Carolina can lead to cracking or drainage challenges that raise overall cost.
Use a layered approach: a 4-6" base of larger, angular stone (1" to 2") for drainage, followed by 2-3" of 3/4" crushed stone, topped with 1-2" of crusher run or 3/8" fines to lock the surface. Well-graded mixes with some fines compact better and resist migration during heavy rain, while geotextile fabric under the base prevents pumping of underlying soil. Local suppliers can advise specific mixes that reflect regional geology.
Minimum order sizes (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons) set the baseline cost, while delivery fees increase with distance, tight access, or special handling needs. Restricted roads, long driveways without turnaround space, or narrow lanes may require smaller trucks or extra labor and lead to higher charges. To avoid surprises, measure drop location, note access issues in order notes, and contact Hello Gravel for a delivery assessment and transparent pricing.
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.
