Why Davidson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Davidson homeowners — a city population of 20,676 — are working and building in a market shaped by steady expansion and a larger regional demand. With a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually, residential projects and infill development are increasingly common, which raises demand for reliable bulk materials for yard reshaping, drainage work, and driveways. Local climate factors — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — mean residents balance strong sun with moderate wet seasons. That combination makes durable, well-graded aggregates, topsoil blends, and stabilizing materials more important: they help manage runoff, support plantings that tolerate sun and rain, and reduce maintenance over time. For homeowners, accessibility to quality sand, dirt, mulch, and stone translates to fewer returns, better project outcomes, and materials that perform in Davidson’s unique conditions.Popular Projects in Davidson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Davidson Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Davidson.
Start by thinking about function: durability, drainage, and look. For base and structural layers choose materials that compact well; for surface or drainage choose materials that shed water and resist rutting. Consider local climate and soil in Davidson and know that regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone can vary in color and texture.
Price depends on the material type, quantity, haul distance, site access, and any special services like spreading. Smaller yards, steep driveways, or long off-road carries add labor or truck time. Use an online material calculator to estimate quantities and the supplier quote to see delivery and service fees.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material density. A good rule of thumb is to calculate area times depth, then check our calculator since 1 cubic yard typically equals roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material. For common guidance, driveway base layers are often 4 to 8 inches deep and top layers 2 to 4 inches, but requirements vary by usage and soil.
Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be possible for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle); you can select a preferred date at checkout but exact arrival times are not guaranteed. Minimum order size is 3 tons and free delivery may be available in many areas.
Pick a stable, level spot with good truck access and at least 12 to 18 feet of overhead clearance for dump trucks. Clear cars, fences, low branches, and mark the area if you need material placed in a specific spot; if the truck cannot safely reach it, expect materials to be dumped at the nearest safe location. Soft or recently seeded lawns can rut, so consider protective boards or a different drop location.
Tailgate spreading may be available but is at the driver's discretion and depends on safety, access, and local regulations. You can request spreading at checkout, but there are no guarantees and additional fees may apply if a crew is needed. Plan for potential extra labor or rent a small spreader if you need consistent finishing.
Davidson's humid climate and local soils can influence drainage needs and compaction. For example, areas with heavy clay or poor drainage often benefit from more porous materials in drainage trenches and better base preparation for driveways and patios. Expect regional variations—gravel, sand, dirt, stone sourced locally will reflect nearby geology and may perform differently than materials shown in photos.
Many projects require town permits, driveway permits, or HOA approval, especially if work affects public right-of-way, stormwater, or the historic district. Check with the Town of Davidson planning or public works and your HOA before ordering large amounts or scheduling a truck to block the street. If a street closure or curb cut is needed, allow extra time for approvals.
Contact the Hello Gravel team as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. We will make a best effort to modify orders, but changes may be limited once a supplier or truck has been assigned. Check your order confirmation for next steps and contact info.
Design for runoff by directing water away from structures and using permeable materials where appropriate. Combine the right base and surface materials to promote drainage, use geotextile fabric on slopes, and consider retaining walls or planting to slow erosion. If you are unsure, consult local codes and a contractor familiar with Davidson's soil and slope conditions before ordering bulk materials.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
