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 Dobson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dobson, population 7,380, sits in a steadily growing part of West North Carolina and is feeling the effects of a 2.80% annual growth rate as homeowners expand and update outdoor spaces. The area’s moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates steady demand for durable, well-draining landscape materials. As yards, driveways, and patios multiply with new builds and renovations, residents look for aggregates that manage runoff, resist rutting from occasional heavy rain, and complement local soils and plantings. Quality gravel addresses those needs by stabilizing surfaces, improving drainage, and reducing maintenance compared with loose soil or thin organic covers.Popular Projects in Dobson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dobson gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dobson.
Hello Gravel connects Dobson customers with local quarries, aggregate yards, and contracted haulers that deliver to Surry County. Because Dobson is a small town, most deliveries come from regional suppliers; check your zip code on our site or call sales to see specific suppliers serving your address (855-241-8884).
Costs vary by gravel type, but expect material plus delivery for 1,000 sq ft at common depths to fall in wide ranges due to local sourcing. For example, using typical crushed stone at 3" (about 9.3 cubic yards or ~13-15 tons), material and delivery often range from $350 to $900, and professional spreading/installation can add $300 to $1,000 depending on access and labor. For an accurate total for your Dobson address, get an instant quote on our site or contact our team.
Pea gravel usually has a higher upfront cost than organic mulch but lasts much longer and needs less frequent replacement. Mulch may cost less per cubic yard and be cheaper to deliver, but you should expect to replenish it annually, while pea gravel is a multi-year investment; factor in delivery, edging, and any labor when comparing totals. Request a quote for both options to see side-by-side pricing for your address.
Yes, pea gravel works well in Dobson’s humid climate for pathways and some beds because it improves drainage and resists decay compared with organic mulch. It can make beds hotter and may not be ideal right against plant crowns, so use it where plants are tolerant and pair it with a breathable landscape fabric and proper edging. For planting beds with shallow-rooted or moisture-loving plants, consider a thinner pea gravel layer or mix with organic mulch.
Common downsides include stone migration, weed growth, difficulty walking in heels, and heat retention. Suppliers and installers mitigate these issues with edging (steel, plastic, or stone), geotextile weed barriers, compaction, and proper slope/drainage planning; ask for these options at checkout or when requesting a delivery. Keep in mind tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion, so schedule professional installation if you need guaranteed spreading.
For driveways use 3/4" crushed stone or #57 as a surface layer over a compacted base of larger stone; for low-traffic driveways, 3/8" to 1/2" gravel can also work. For walkways and patios, pea gravel or 3/8"-1/2" washed stone is comfortable and decorative. For drainage and French drains use clean washed stone or #1-#2 (1" to 2") to promote flow; regional suppliers can confirm locally available sizes.
Many suppliers serving Dobson offer yard pickup and scheduled deliveries; Hello Gravel’s standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Our minimum order is 3 tons; same-week delivery may be possible depending on supplier inventory and truck schedules. Installation and spreading are offered by some partners but are not guaranteed; request it at checkout and discuss details with the driver or contractor.
At 2" depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 to 9.9 tons). At 3" depth plan for about 9.3 cubic yards (about 13.0 to 14.8 tons). At 4" depth you need about 12.4 cubic yards (about 17.3 to 19.8 tons). These ton ranges reflect common gravel densities; order a little extra for compaction and spillage and request an instant quote for exact weight for delivery to Dobson.
Yes, local town rules and HOA covenants can restrict visible materials, colors, and drainage patterns, and some areas have stormwater or impervious-surface rules. Before ordering, check your HOA guidelines and contact the Dobson town office or Surry County planning department for permit requirements relevant to driveways or large landscape changes. When in doubt, take photos and ask your HOA or local permitting office for written guidance.
Some regional suppliers and contractors that Hello Gravel partners with offer bundled services including material supply, edging, and installation, but availability varies by supplier and project size. If you want a bundled service, request it when you order or call our sales team so we can match you with a supplier that offers installation in the Dobson area. Always confirm what is included in the bundled price, especially edging, grading, and cleanup.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
