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 Elkin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elkin, with a city population of 8,360, sits in a growing West North Carolina region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million and is expanding at a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The area's moderate climate—an average of 228/year sunny days, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports both established landscapes and new residential development. That combination of steady growth and comfortable weather drives demand for durable, low-maintenance outdoor materials: homeowners are improving driveways, pathways, patios, and drainage systems. Quality gravel is a frequent choice because it provides permeability for stormwater, stabilizes soils on slopes, and creates a durable base for hardscapes. Local sourcing matters here: aggregates that reflect regional geology perform better and blend with Elkin's natural aesthetic, so homeowners prioritize material that balances function and appearance.Popular Projects in Elkin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elkin gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elkin.
Prices vary with material type, size, and local supply, but expect roughly $25 to $55 per ton (about $35 to $75 per cubic yard) as a ballpark range for common gravel types in the Elkin area. Exact pricing depends on the stone type and delivery distance; check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote for an exact delivered price.
For hilly terrain we recommend an angular, compactible base like crusher run (also called dense grade aggregate) topped with #57 or 3/4" crushed stone for traction. Angular materials lock together, resist washout on slopes better than rounded stone like river rock, and allow for good drainage when combined with proper grading.
A 12x40 driveway is 480 square feet; for a durable driveway in Elkin we recommend a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crusher run, which is about 8.3 to 12.5 tons. If you add a 1 to 2 inch surface layer of #57 crushed stone, add roughly 6 to 12 more tons depending on depth; most homeowners order 8 to 15 tons total depending on layering and compaction. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so you'll likely need multiple tons for a driveway this size.
Crushed stone (angular, compactible material) generally performs better for high-use patios and walkways because it stays in place, compacts well, and sheds water. Pea gravel is attractive and good for casual seating areas but tends to migrate, collect leaves, and shift after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles common in West North Carolina; use edging and a compacted base if choosing pea gravel.
Regulations vary by neighborhood and property type, so always check the Town of Elkin ordinances, your county zoning office, and any HOA covenants before installing gravel. Some HOAs or historic districts restrict visible gravel, require certain edging, or set limits on color/size, so get approvals first to avoid costly changes.
For steep slopes use larger, angular stone such as riprap or 1" to 3" crushed stone combined with geotextile fabric and proper grading to slow runoff and prevent washout. For concentrated flow areas consider gabions or retaining features, and install check dams or French drains where needed to direct water to stable outlets.
In Elkin's humid subtropical climate with occasional freeze-thaw, inspect your driveway after winter and heavy storms, regrade and fill ruts or potholes annually, and add 1/2 to 1 inch of fresh topcoat every 2 to 4 years. With regular maintenance and proper base depth, a gravel driveway can last 10 to 25 years; lifespan shortens with poor drainage, heavy traffic, or lack of upkeep.
You can order through Hello Gravel to connect with local quarries and haulers serving Elkin (pop. 8,360), or contact nearby landscape suppliers and stone yards in the Surry/Wilkes area. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Provide clear delivery notes and photos at checkout showing driveway access, slope angle, and preferred drop location; request tailgate spreading if you want the driver to attempt spreading but understand it is at their discretion. Plan delivery after a dry spell when possible, keep a short run-in or turnaround space for tri-axle trucks, and consider hiring local equipment to spread and compact material on steep sites for best results.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

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.
