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 Forest City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Forest City has a population of 15,860 and is part of a fast-growing regional market with expanding residential needs. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, homeowners are building and renovating more driveways, patios, and drainage projects that depend on reliable aggregates. The local climate — about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — creates a balance of wet seasons and strong sun exposure that affects soil stability and surface runoff. That combination increases demand for materials that manage water, resist rutting, and require low maintenance. For many Forest City homeowners, high-quality gravel is a practical choice because it improves drainage, stabilizes paths and driveways, and blends with native landscapes while standing up to local weather cycles.Popular Projects in Forest City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Forest City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Forest City.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10–12 tons of gravel to Forest City. Delivered price for a full load commonly ranges from about $350 to $900 depending on gravel type (washed, crushed, decorative), seasonal availability, and distance from the supplier. Contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for an exact quote and to see if delivery fees apply.
Assuming a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway (1,200 sq ft): 2" depth = ~7.4 cubic yards (~10.5 tons); 3" depth = ~11.1 cubic yards (~15.5 tons); 4" depth = ~14.8 cubic yards (~20.7 tons). These are estimates based on an average gravel weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard; adjust if your driveway is a different width or you want extra material for compaction and settling.
For short-term cover or a light driving surface, 2" can work, but 3" to 4" is generally recommended for regular passenger vehicles in Forest City’s climate. Because of occasional heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles in west North Carolina, a thicker top layer over a properly prepared base provides better drainage and durability. For new construction, consider a compacted base layer (4"–6" of larger stone) beneath the finish gravel for best results.
For 1,000 sq ft at 2" depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards (~8.7 tons); at 3" about 9.3 yd3 (~13.1 tons). Using typical delivered prices of $35–$60 per ton, material plus delivery commonly runs roughly $350 to $900 depending on gravel type and whether delivery fees apply. Get a zip-code quote from Hello Gravel for a precise price and any local delivery promotions.
If we assume a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) with a 4" finish: you need about 2.5 cubic yards (~3.5 tons) of gravel. Materials and delivery may cost roughly $150–$400, and installation (grading, spreading, compaction) can add $300–$800 depending on site access and local labor rates, so a total ballpark is $450–$1,200. Ask Hello Gravel for a local supplier and hire a contractor for a written installation estimate.
Using an average weight of 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1 ton of gravel covers about: 2" depth = ~116 sq ft, 3" depth = ~77 sq ft, 4" depth = ~58 sq ft. These are approximate; actual coverage varies with gravel type and compaction.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 3 to 5 cubic yards of gravel depending on sidewall height and how full you load it (roughly 4–7 tons). Hire a dump truck when your job needs more than about 5 cubic yards (or roughly 7+ tons), when you need a single continuous delivery to save labor, or when access requires a larger truck for safe dumping. Hello Gravel can match you with local truck sizes and advise whether a trailer or dump truck is more economical for your order size.
A well-built gravel driveway in the Forest City area can last many years with regular upkeep. Expect to regrade and fill low spots annually, add 1–2 inches of fresh gravel every 3–5 years, and address drainage (ditches, culverts) as needed after heavy rains or freeze-thaw seasons. Heavy-use driveways may need more frequent topping and occasional full-depth repairs if the base becomes compromised.
Typical delivered prices in the Forest City area are roughly $35–$60 per ton, which equates to about $50–$85 per cubic yard (using 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Prices vary by gravel type, color, seasonal demand, and exact delivery location; check your zip code with Hello Gravel for a current, itemized quote.

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.
