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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.

Why Efland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Efland is a small but growing community with a city population of 4,250 located within a broader metro area of 2.3+ million. A steady annual growth rate of 2.80% annually means more homes, driveways, and landscape projects over time rather than a sudden boom; that steady demand favors repeatable, reliable material choices and predictable delivery schedules. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here balance sun-loving plantings with enough seasonal moisture to require attention to drainage and erosion control. That climate mix emphasizes multi-purpose bulk materials—topsoil and compost for planting beds, stable base materials for driveways and patios, and mulches or decorative stone for low-maintenance beds—all of which perform differently depending on local soils and slope. For Efland projects, sourcing quality, regionally appropriate aggregates and soils helps prevent settling, runoff, and plant stress as development continues.Popular Projects in Efland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Efland Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Efland.
Homeowners in Efland commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, base layers, patios, and garden beds. These materials serve different roles—base, drainage, leveling, or decorative topcoat—so many projects use more than one material. Regional suppliers often stock variants suited to West North Carolina conditions.
Start by identifying the function you need: structural base, drainage layer, leveling fill, or decorative finish. Consider traffic, slope, and local soil—materials for load-bearing driveways differ from those for planting beds—and ask suppliers about regional mixes. Use the aggregate quiz or talk to our team for help matching material properties to your project.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the required depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using an online calculator or our material calculator. Because different materials have different densities, convert cubic yards to tons using the tool or ask customer support for quick estimates before ordering. Always order a small overage (5-10%) to account for compaction and spillage.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Minimum orders usually start at 3 tons and availability may depend on supplier coverage in your zip code.
Many local haulers in West North Carolina serve rural and uphill properties, but access constraints like steep driveways, low overhead wires, and narrow roads can limit truck placement. Provide detailed delivery notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can assess access and quote any extra service fees. Drivers will evaluate safe placement on arrival and tailgate spreading is available only at their discretion.
Spring through fall is usually best for major installs because soil is easier to work and crews can compact and grade properly, while humid summers may affect working conditions. Avoid scheduling right after heavy rain or during freeze-thaw cycles when possible, as wet or frozen ground can complicate grading and compaction. Plan deliveries a few days ahead to allow for weather delays common in West North Carolina.
Permits and HOA rules vary by property in Efland and can affect driveways, visible landscaping, and changes to drainage. Check with local town or county offices and your HOA before ordering materials to confirm any restrictions or required permits. If in doubt, order conservatively and keep materials on your property only after approvals are secured.
Materials sourced locally reflect regional geology and are chosen to handle humidity and seasonal temperature swings, but performance depends on installation and drainage. For example, good base material and proper grading improve freeze-thaw resistance across many aggregate types. Ask suppliers about mixes and additives that improve drainage and reduce settlement in Efland’s climate.
Durability varies by use and installation: structural base materials tend to last longer under traffic, while decorative topcoats may need periodic replenishing or raking. Regular maintenance like regrading, topping up thin spots, and keeping drainage clear extends lifespan regardless of material. Contractors can advise on maintenance intervals specific to your chosen materials and local conditions.
Many local suppliers and haulers in West North Carolina offer small-load deliveries suitable for DIY projects, though minimums often start around 3 tons. Check availability for smaller quantities or mix-and-match options when you enter your zip code at checkout. If you need less than the minimum, consider pickup options or sharing a delivery with neighbors or nearby projects.
Base materials used for structure and drainage are generally less expensive per ton than decorative topcoats, but total cost depends on depth required, delivery distance, and local supplier pricing. Decorative stone, colored gravels, or specialty mixes typically add to material cost and may require extra preparation or maintenance. Use our pricing transparency tools and request a quote to compare options for your specific project and location.

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.
