Gravel: Ideal For 34.00 Inches Rainfall • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Before Noon CST
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 Dillsboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dillsboro (city population 1,039) sits in a growing regional landscape with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates both opportunity and demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects. Homeowners here are investing in durable driveways, erosion control, and attractive hardscape features as pRoperties adjust to modest development and changing weather patterns. That means quality aggregates like gravel are in frequent demand: homeowners want materials that drain well, resist wAshout, and provide a stable, low-maintenance surface. Gravel performs well in Dillsboro’s environment because its size and composition improve drainage and reduce soil compaction after heavy rains. For pathways, driveways, French drains, and garden beds, angular crushed gravel or pRoperly graded pea gravel help move water away from structures while standing up to 228 sunny days that encourage outdoor use. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing these local materials by connecting you with trusted suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, a 3-ton minimum order, standard 2+ business day delivery, and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. We handle scheduling and supplier coordination so you get the right gravel for your Dillsboro project with minimal hassle.Popular Projects in Dillsboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dillsboro gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dillsboro.
In Dillsboro you can typically expect delivered gravel prices to fall in a broad range depending on type and distance: roughly $30 to $60 per ton (about $40 to $80 per cubic yard). Lighter or specialty materials and long-haul deliveries push costs higher, while common crushed stone and bulk orders are toward the low end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers free delivery in many areas, so check your zip code or request a quote for an exact price.
Local suppliers include regional quarries, landscape supply yards, and landscape contractors serving Jackson County; specific names and avaIlability vary by zip code. Common minimums in the area are around 3 tons, and delivery fees depend on truck access, distance, and driveway constraints; some suppliers include delivery in the material price. The fastest way to know who will deliver to your address is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or call our team to see the local supplier options and fees.
For steep, wet, and freeze-thaw-prone slopes in WNC, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57) is best because the rough edges lock together and compact well. A coarser base (larger stone) under a compacted layer of 3/4" minus or #57 on top gives stability and traction; pea gravel and smooth river rock are not recommended because they shift and can become slippery when wet. Adding a wearing course with fines or using a stabilizer product can improve traction on steep grades.
Dillsboro gets frequent rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles that can wAsh out fines, create ruts, and accelerate potholes if drainage and base are inadequate. Good drainage—crowned surfaces, clean ditches, culverts, and subgrade drainage—plus a stable, well-compacted base and geotextile fabric where needed will greatly increase longevity. Plan for erosion control on slopes and avoid installing material directly on soft, saturated soils without pRoper subgrade preparation.
A 12x40 driveway is 480 square feet. At 2" depth you'll need about 3.9 tons; at 3" about 5.8 tons; and at 4" about 7.7 tons, using a rule of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard (actual weight varies by material). Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so 2" depth is just above the minimum for this example.
Contractor costs vary with access, slope, required prep, and materials. Expect full-installation bids for a standard 12x40 driveway to commonly fall between about $1,500 and $6,000, with simpler projects near the low end and steep, heavily-prepped jobs with geotextile and substantial base work toward the high end. Get at least two local quotes that list grading, base depth, fabric, compaction, and drainage separately so you can compare scope and price.
You should check both town and county rules before work begins: Dillsboro, Jackson County, or the N.C. Department of Transportation may require an entrance or driveway permit, especially for connections to sTate or county roads. HOA or neighborhood covenants may also limit driveway materials or appearance, so review any HOA guidelines or contact the county planning office and your local town hall to confirm requirements. When in doubt, ask for help from your contractor or Hello Gravel’s team to point you to the right local contacts.
With Dillsboro’s mountain rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles, plan on light maintenance (raking, regrading, filling ruts) at least once a year and topping up material every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and slope. Typical annual costs for routine maintenance and small top-ups are modest, often $100 to $400 for a homeowner-sized driveway; a larger annual top-up or regrading by a contractor may be $300 to $1,000 or more. Material delivered by the ton is commonly $30 to $60 per ton, so a single cubic yard (about 1.3 tons) for spot repairs will be relatively inexpensive.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers that typically deliver by tri-axle dump truck; our platform shows delivery windows during checkout with standard delivery of 2+ business days and a next-day option when avaIlable. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout, but it is performed at the driver’s discretion and cannot be guaranteed. If you need help calculating quantities, scheduling delivery to a tight site, or arranging contractor installation, our sales team can assist at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.
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.
