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.
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.

Why Fairview Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairview is a growing community with a city population 8,990 and is part of a larger metro area of 2.3+ million. With a steady annual growth rate of 2.80% and about 228 sunny days per year, local homeowners are expanding driveways, patios, and outdoor living spaces. Fairview’s climate—including 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round landscaping but creates real needs for reliable drainage and erosion control. That combination of sun and seasonal rain drives demand for durable aggregates: homeowners choose gravel for its affordability, drainage performance, and ability to stabilize soil for pavers, pathways, and base layers. In Fairview’s mix of sun and seasonal rainfall, a well-graded gravel blend sheds water, resists rutting, and locks together for a stable walking or driving surface. Gravel is especially useful here for French drains, driveways, and slope protection where 34.00 inches of rain can otherwise cause washouts. Hello Gravel connects Fairview homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver the right gravel by the ton, with a minimum order of 3 tons and flexible delivery scheduling. Use our material calculator and local expertise to pick the right size and quantity for your project.Popular Projects in Fairview This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairview gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairview.
Delivered gravel prices in Fairview usually vary by material and amount, but a typical range is about $30 to $70 per ton delivered. Most homeowners pay a total of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on driveway size and depth; smaller orders pay a higher per-ton rate. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.
For driveways in West North Carolina, 3/4" crushed stone (also sold as 57 stone) is a common choice because it compacts well and provides a stable surface. For drainage areas, washed stone or larger clean rock (1-2") is better because it resists clogging and sheds water. Pea gravel is attractive but can shift under vehicle traffic, so use it for walkways or accent areas rather than main drive lanes.
Use this rule: tons = area_sqft * depth_inches / 324 * 1.4 (1.4 tons per cubic yard is a typical density). Example estimates: at 2" depth expect about 0.0086 tons per sq ft (0.86 tons per 100 sq ft); at 3" about 0.013 tons per sq ft (1.30 tons per 100 sq ft); at 4" about 0.017 tons per sq ft (1.73 tons per 100 sq ft). For quick planning, 1,000 sq ft at 3" takes roughly 13 tons.
Fairview sees occasional freeze-thaw cycles and areas with clay soils, which can cause frost heave, rutting, and poor drainage if the base is not prepared. To reduce problems, install a compacted stone base, proper slope and drainage, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate gravel from clay subgrade. Expect periodic maintenance like regrading and adding fresh gravel to low spots, especially after wet seasons.
Yes, bulk gravel is generally available near Fairview through Hello Gravel's local supplier network, but exact product types and colors depend on regional quarries. Because Fairview is a smaller community (population about 8,990), some specialty materials may require sourcing from nearby towns, which can affect lead time and price. Check your zip code on our site to see current availability and delivery options.
Installed compacted gravel driveways in the Fairview area commonly cost between $2 and $6 per square foot for basic installs, depending on prep work, grading, and material choice. For a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3-4" depth, expect total costs in the mid-thousands of dollars; more extensive base work, drainage, or steep sites will raise the price. Get a local quote for an accurate number since labor rates and site conditions vary.
On sloped sites, use a deeper compacted base—typically 6" or more of compacted base stone with a 2- to 3" finished gravel layer—and install edge restraints or low retaining features where needed. Add geotextile fabric to stabilize the subgrade and design swales or drains to move water away from the slope. Terracing or stepped approaches are a good option for steep slopes to reduce runoff and erosion.
Avoid installing during heavy rain periods; in western North Carolina, spring and late fall can be wetter, so aim for late spring through early fall for the driest conditions. Winter installs are possible but less ideal if the ground is frozen or wet, as compaction and settling may be affected. Plan deliveries around our standard 2+ business day lead time and request next-day if you need faster service (orders must be placed before noon CST).
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and coordinates delivery with local truck fleets; optional tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion. If you need spreading or placing in tight areas, include notes on your order and our team will do its best to arrange the right equipment. For complex placements or tight access, discuss details with our sales team before ordering so we can advise on the best delivery approach.
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.
