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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Duck Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Duck has a city population of 743 and sits within a broader metro area population of 2.3+ million. A local growth rate of 2.80% annually points to steady development rather than boom-and-bust expansion; that steady demand usually translates into ongoing residential upgrades, driveway replacements, garden renovations, and small-scale construction rather than large speculative projects. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners face a mix of sun-driven landscaping needs and enough wet weather to make drainage and erosion control priorities. In practice this means reliable access to a range of bulk materials—dirt and topsoil for planting beds, sand and aggregates for grading and drainage, and stabilizing stone for driveways and hardscapes—matters for both curb appeal and long-term performance in local conditions.Popular Projects in Duck This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Duck Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Duck.
Homeowners and contractors commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. Choose coarser, angular mixes for driveways and compaction, and finer, decorative mixes for patios and walkways where a smooth finish matters. Consider drainage needs and the look you want when picking a material.
Coastal salt spray and higher humidity can speed weathering of some materials and affect metal edging or fasteners. Choose materials and installation details that promote drainage and resist salt exposure, and expect some color and texture change over time due to local conditions. Ask suppliers about locally proven mixes for coastal use.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and materials are usually quoted per ton or per cubic yard. Delivery fees vary by distance and supplier; many areas have free delivery while remote or small orders may incur a fee, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Check the checkout for exact pricing and available delivery windows for your zip code.
We connect you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Duck; specific suppliers vary by zip code. Typical lead times are our standard 2+ business days after order processing, with next-day delivery possible for qualifying orders placed before noon CST. Exact availability and lead times are shown at checkout when you enter your address.
Spring and fall are often the easiest seasons for exterior work in coastal North Carolina because temperatures are moderate and storms are less frequent. Avoid peak hurricane season (late summer and early fall) for large exposed jobs, and expect wetter conditions in winter that can slow excavation or compaction. Talk with your contractor about local timing and contingency plans.
Local building departments and HOAs can have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, stormwater management, and setbacks, especially in coastal zones. Check Duck town regulations, county permits, and any HOA guidelines before ordering materials or starting work. If in doubt, contact local permitting offices or your contractor for guidance.
For erosion control and drainage, well-graded aggregates placed over an engineered base and geotextile can improve stability and reduce washout. Permeable surface approaches and properly sized drainage stone help move water away from structures while retaining slope integrity. Talk to your supplier or contractor about mixes and installation methods suited to low-lying coastal conditions.
Deliveries typically arrive by tri-axle dump truck and need a clear drive or turnaround area and stable ground for offloading; tight or steep sites may require smaller trucks or additional fees. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed; plan for manual raking or a hired spreader when precise distribution is needed. Spread depth and coverage vary by material, so use our material calculator or consult your supplier for accurate coverage estimates.
Yes, local suppliers often offer blends tailored to coastal sandy soils that use coarser gradations or added fines to increase interlock and reduce migration. These locally sourced mixes reflect regional geology and tend to perform better for stability and drainage in the Outer Banks environment. Ask for local recommendations and sample descriptions when ordering.
Installation costs vary widely based on size, material choice, base preparation, removal of existing material, and edging or drainage work. Small walkways or patios can be a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while full driveways commonly range from low thousands to several thousand dollars depending on scope. Get multiple quotes that include material, delivery, site prep, and labor to compare real costs for your specific project.
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.
