Gravel: Designed For Wet Southern Climates • Scheduled Gravel Delivery From Local Suppliers
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 Efland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Efland, with a city population of 4,250 and located near a metro area of 2.3+ million, is seeing steady demand for home improvement and small-scale construction as the region grows at an annual rate of 2.80%. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches — produce conditions where durable, well-draining surfaces matter. Gravel is a practical choice for driveways, pathways, and drainage features in this environment because it sheds water, reduces erosion on slopes, and tolerates both sun exposure and seasonal wet periods. Homeowners often seek quality aggregates to improve drainage, lower long-term maintenance, and achieve a finished look that matches the regionally sourced stone available locally.Popular Projects in Efland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Efland gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Efland.
Typical local ranges (subject to supplier and regional variability) are: crushed stone/#57: about $30 to $55 per ton; pea gravel: about $35 to $65 per ton. A rough conversion is 1 cubic yard = 1.2 to 1.5 tons, so expect roughly $40 to $90 per cubic yard depending on material and moisture. For an exact, up-to-date price for your zip code in Efland, request a quote through Hello Gravel.
Hello Gravel partners with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that service Efland and surrounding West NC counties, so specific quarries vary by zip code. Typical delivery details: minimum order is usually 3 tons, standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before the cutoff (additional fee). Delivery fees depend on distance and order size; many areas qualify for free delivery while others have fees that commonly range from a modest flat charge up to around $50 to $150 for longer hauls.
For driveways in clay and hilly areas, a compactible base like crusher run (also called 3/4" minus or crush-and-run) topped with #57 or 3/4" crushed stone is a common choice to reduce rutting. For drainage (French drains and dry creek beds), use clean, washed 3/4" stone or river rock to keep flow paths clear of fines. For general landscaping, pea gravel and decomposed granite work well for paths and patios, but avoid pea gravel on steep grades where it can migrate downhill without edge restraint.
Efland's rainfall and occasional freeze/thaw cycles can cause rutting, washouts, and migration of fines, especially on slopes and compacted clay subgrades. Good drainage, a properly built base, and periodic regrading or adding fresh stone will extend driveway life. Plan for more frequent maintenance near drainage paths and on steep sections after heavy rain seasons.
Use these estimates per 100 sq ft: 2" depth = 0.62 cubic yards ≈ 0.9 tons; 3" depth = 0.93 cubic yards ≈ 1.3 tons; 4" depth = 1.23 cubic yards ≈ 1.7 tons. These use a conversion of roughly 1.4 tons per cubic yard; actual weight varies by stone type and moisture, so round up and account for compaction and waste. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may require ordering more than the exact calculated amount.
Requirements vary: small residential repairs or resurfacing often do not need a county permit, but new driveways, changes to driveway access, major grading, or large impervious-area work can trigger permits or stormwater/erosion control rules with Orange County. Many HOAs have design or surface material restrictions, so check your HOA rules before ordering. When in doubt, contact Orange County Planning and your HOA and plan for erosion controls on slopes to avoid runoff issues.
Installation costs vary by scope: expect contractor-installed gravel driveways to commonly range from about $2 to $6 per sq ft depending on site prep, access, and materials. Equipment rental rates in the region are roughly: skid steer or mini-excavator $200 to $400 per day, plate compactor $50 to $120 per day; labor rates vary by crew size and experience. These are ballpark figures—get local contractor bids for accurate pricing for your specific site.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and provides good drainage, making it a strong choice for wet, clay soils, but it requires regular maintenance like regrading and topping up. Asphalt is mid-range cost with lower routine maintenance than gravel but can crack in freeze/thaw cycles and needs periodic sealing. Concrete and pavers cost more initially; concrete is low-maintenance but can crack, while pavers handle freeze/thaw well and offer upscale looks but have higher material and installation costs.
Use a strong, compactible base such as crusher run or 3/4" minus compacted in layers, underlain with a geotextile fabric to separate the clay subgrade. Top with angular 3/4" to #57 stone for traction, and install edge restraints, grade breaks, and check dams or drainage swales to slow water flow. Proper compaction, terrace-style grading on long slopes, and consistent maintenance are key to preventing washout.
Gravel can be displaced by plows, so plan ahead by using larger, angular stone surfaces like #57 and marking edges clearly with stakes. Ask plow operators to use skid shoes or rubber cutting edges and to avoid scraping down to bare soil when possible; expect some loss of surface stone and occasional touch-ups each season. For traction, use sand or grit rather than salt if you are protecting plants and local soil health.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
