Why Elm City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elm City, with a population of 7,200, is part of a larger West North Carolina region that sits inside a metro area of 2.3+ million residents and is experiencing steady expansion at a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports a mix of year-round landscaping and ongoing residential projects. As homes are updated and new yards are shaped, homeowners increasingly need reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage, erosion control, and hardscape bases. Quality gravel prevents water pooling, stabilizes surfaces under frequent sun exposure, and matches local soil conditions, so Elm City property owners look for materials that balance permeability, durability, and appearance.Popular Projects in Elm City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elm City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elm City.
Typical delivered prices near Elm City usually fall in these ranges: crushed stone (#57) $30-45 per ton, pea gravel $40-60 per ton, and larger decorative river rock $50-80 per ton. Prices vary by supplier, season, and distance, so check your zip code on HelloGravel.com for precise quotes and current local pricing.
Common local options include #57 crushed stone (good all-purpose), 3/4" crushed stone, pea gravel, screenings (crusher fines), recycled concrete, and larger river rock. Availability depends on regional quarries, so the exact color and size may vary by supplier.
Elm City is served by regional quarries and landscape yards in nearby towns; Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in your zip code. For a supplier list and quotes, use HelloGravel.com or contact our team and we will show local options and delivery windows for your address.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Many orders qualify for free delivery, but when a fee applies expect a range of about $25-150 depending on distance, truck access, and site conditions; you will see exact delivery charges at checkout.
A simple rule of thumb: one ton covers about 100 sq ft at 2" depth. For common driveway plans: a 1-car driveway (about 10-12' x 20') at 4" total compacted depth needs roughly 3.5-5 tons; a 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') at 4-6" needs roughly 10-15 tons. Use our material calculator for an exact estimate based on your dimensions and desired depth.
In Elm City, where soils can be clayey, we recommend a stable base: remove soft topsoil, install geotextile fabric if poor soil, then a 4-6" compacted base of 2-3/4" crushed stone (base stone). Add a 2-3" wearing layer of #57 or pea gravel on top; proper grading and drainage are critical to avoid washouts after heavy rain.
Elm City sees moderate rainfall and occasional freeze-thaw cycles that can move loose gravel and cause ruts. Good base preparation, proper slope for drainage, and periodic grading reduce washouts and shifting; heavier rains may require more frequent maintenance than in very dry climates.
Installation costs vary with site work and access; expect roughly $1.50-3.50 per sq ft for grading, base installation, and top gravel for typical residential driveways. For small driveways, total installed costs often fall between $800 and $4,000; get multiple local quotes for exact pricing.
Use this quick formula: tons = (area in sq ft) x (depth in inches) / 231. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at a 2" depth. For precision, use Hello Gravel's calculator which factors in stone type and regional density differences.
Light maintenance (raking and grading washouts) is usually needed once a year, with spot topping after heavy storms. Wearing layers often need replenishing every 1-3 years for pea gravel and every 3-7 years for crushed stone, depending on traffic and drainage.
Angular crushed stone (like #57) locks together and compacts better, so it generally lasts longer and needs less frequent topping than round pea gravel. For driveways with vehicle traffic, choose crushed stone for better stability and fewer washouts in Elm City rainfall conditions.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage but requires periodic grading and topping. Asphalt gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface at higher upfront cost and reduced permeability. Pavers have the highest initial cost and best aesthetics with low maintenance, but they require proper base and can be pricier; pick based on budget, drainage needs, and long-term upkeep preferences.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
