1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

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!
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.

Why Enka Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Enka, with a population of 1,484, is part of a rapidly evolving West North Carolina region inside a metro area of 2.3+ million people. A 2.80% annually growth rate points to steady demand for residential repairs, yard upgrades, and new construction—especially smaller-scale homeowner projects and local infill. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, local climate and geography favor materials that balance sun exposure with periodic moisture. That means homeowners in Enka increasingly need bulk supplies—gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and stone—that deliver reliable drainage, erosion control, and plant support. Trends toward low-maintenance landscapes, resilient driveways, and practical hardscaping make material quality and correct gradation crucial for long-term performance in this environment.Popular Projects in Enka This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Enka Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Enka.
Homeowners in Enka commonly order materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, garden beds, and basic grading or drainage work. These materials are used as surface layers, base material, or fill depending on the project needs. When choosing, consider intended use, load-bearing needs, and whether the area requires drainage or weed control.
West North Carolina has wet seasons and freeze-thaw cycles that can affect installation and settling. Schedule major deliveries and installation for drier periods, avoid placing loose materials during heavy rain, and allow time for proper compaction and drying before use. Choosing materials with good drainage properties will help performance through wet months.
Soils and slopes in the area affect how water moves and how stable surfaces remain over time, so steeper or clay-rich sites often need better base layers and drainage solutions. Adding a stable base, using drainage aggregate, and considering geotextile fabric or retaining features can reduce erosion and rutting. For steep sites, staged delivery and erosion controls during work are recommended.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact lead times depend on supplier availability in your zip code, so check availability at checkout or contact our team. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but this is not guaranteed.
Minimum orders generally start around 3 tons, which covers most small home projects. Delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and local supplier—many areas offer free delivery for certain orders but check your zip code for specifics. Get a quote in checkout to see the exact pricing for your location.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then use an online material calculator or contact our team to convert to tons or cubic yards because densities vary by material. It is common to order 5–10% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste. If you are unsure, send project dimensions and a photo so a specialist can help.
Budget for delivery, possible hauling fees for tight access, labor for spreading and compaction, equipment rental, and permit or inspection fees if required. If you need old material removed, disposal costs may apply. Ask for a full estimate that separates material, delivery, and labor so you can compare options.
Regulations vary by property and neighborhood, so check Buncombe County rules and any HOA covenants that apply to your address before starting work. Some projects that change drainage, increase impermeable surface, or alter curb access may require permits or inspections. When in doubt, contact local authorities or your HOA early in the planning stage.
Use staged placement, straw or erosion-control blankets, silt fencing, and plantings to stabilize disturbed slopes while work is underway. Incorporate proper drainage paths and consider retaining features or terracing for long-term stability. Minimizing the area of exposed soil at any one time and scheduling work in drier weather reduces erosion risk.
Expect periodic maintenance such as regrading, adding fresh material to low spots, compacting after thaw cycles, and controlling weeds or vegetation encroachment. Materials used for driveways and paths may need top-ups every few years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Regular inspection after heavy storms can catch drainage or erosion issues early.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture can vary; if the material differs from expectations contact customer service promptly and provide photos. Changes to orders are easier to accommodate before dispatch, so call as soon as possible; we will work with local suppliers to find the best solution but cannot guarantee all changes. Refer to the checkout notes for color preferences and check the refund policy for details.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
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.
