Gravel: Rain-Ready Drainage For Etowah • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Etowah
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 Etowah Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Etowah is a small but growing community with a city population of 3,450 located in West North Carolina; the wider metro area serves 2.3+ million residents. Local conditions—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—support steady residential development, and the area is expanding at about 2.80% annually. That growth drives demand for reliable materials for driveways, drainage projects, patios, and erosion control as homeowners renovate yards and add outdoor living space. Because regional geology and weather patterns shape how materials perform here, Etowah homeowners often look for quality, pRoperly graded aggregates that shed water, resist movement, and create stable surfaces.Popular Projects in Etowah This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Etowah gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Etowah.
Expect broad ranges because local haul distance and material type matter. For most common crushed gravels in small towns like Etowah, delivered prices often run about $35 to $75 per ton, with Hello Gravel minimum orders Starting at 3 tons. Delivery fees may be waived in many areas, but short-haul, steep-access, or long-distance deliveries can add $40 to $125 or more, so get a quote for your zip code.
Angular crushed stone such as 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone with a compacted crusher-run base performs well in West North Carolina because it sheds water and locks together under traffic. Use a compacted base layer (crusher run) for strength and a coarser top layer for drainage, and avoid soft rounded gravels like loose pea gravel on steep or high-rainfall areas where migration and rutting are likely.
Calculate cubic yards first: (length ft x width ft x depth in)/324 gives cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons (approximate for most gravels). Example: a 12' x 20' driveway at 4" deep is about 2.96 cubic yards, roughly 4.1 tons; a 10' x 10' patio at 2" deep is about 0.62 cubic yards, roughly 0.9 tons. Always round up for compaction and waste and check with Hello Gravel for exact material density.
Stabilized systems (polymer binders, gravel grids, or resin-bound options) hold material in place and reduce wAshout on slopes, so they often perform better than loose stone on steep or frequently wet terrain. They cost more up front and still need a pRoper compacted base and drainage, but they reduce maintenance and migration in Etowah's hilly, rainy conditions.
Hello Gravel offers the option to request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. For reliable spreading and compaction, we recommend scheduling a local landscaper or contractor or renting compacting equipment; contact our team and we can help coordinate local providers when avaIlable.
Plan regular light maintenance each year: regrade low spots and redistribute material after heavy rains or winter freeze-thaw cycles. Add a thin top-up of 1/4" to 3/4" of new gravel every 1 to 3 years for normal residential use, and consider a more substantial resurfacing (2"–4" of new compacted material) every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and drainage.
Yes—on soft soils, slopes, or areas with poor drainage a non-woven geotextile fabric helps separate base material from native soil, reducing rutting and contamination. Pair fabric with good surface drainage (a crowned profile), edge containment, and, where needed, french drains or swales to manage runoff in Etowah's frequent rain events.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost but higher ongoing maintenance, while asphalt and concrete cost more to install but typically need less frequent surface work. Ballpark installed costs: gravel $1 to $3 per sq ft, asphalt $3 to $7 per sq ft, and concrete $6 to $12 per sq ft; gravel lifecycles vary widely depending on maintenance, with resurfacing every few years, while asphalt and concrete often last decades with periodic upkeep. Consider traffic, drainage, local freeze-thaw, and long-term maintenance budget when choosing.
Three tons is roughly 2.1 cubic yards of typical gravel. That will cover about 170 sq ft at 4" depth or about 340 sq ft at 2" depth, so a 3-ton minimum is a good Starting amount for small walkways or patch jobs; larger driveways will need multiple minimums.
Yes. Materials are regionally sourced so color and texture will reflect local geology in West North Carolina, and steep, wooded lots in Etowah increase erosion risk and may need extra drainage and edge restraint. Check access for tri-axle dump trucks, order with a little extra for compaction/waste, and contact Hello Gravel if you have tight access, permits, or timing concerns.
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.
