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 Glen Raven Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Glen Raven, with a city population of 73,016, sits in a growing West North Carolina region showing an annual growth rate of 2.80%. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports both lush gardens and steady residential expansion. That steady growth is driving demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, patios, drainage improvements, and base layers as homeowners update yards and add outdoor living spaces. Gravel is a go-to material here because it provides durable drainage, low maintenance, and cost-effective structural support. Local projects—from resurfacing gravel drives to installing French drains and dry creek beds—benefit from materials that reflect regional geology so texture and performance match Glen Raven soils and seasonal weather patterns.Popular Projects in Glen Raven This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Glen Raven gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Glen Raven.
Prices vary by material and supplier, but expect crushed stone or driveway gravel to run about $35 to $70 per ton delivered in the Glen Raven/Alamance County area. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; standard delivery is often included but next-day or remote deliveries may carry extra fees. If you hire a contractor for spreading or tailgate spreading is requested, add roughly $50 to $150 per hour or a per-job spreading fee depending on access and slope.
For Glen Raven driveways, crushed stone (¾" to 1" angular stone, #57 or #411 mixes) is usually best because it compacts well and sheds water. Pea gravel and river rock look nice but can shift and rut more in our rainfall-prone, sometimes clay soils; use them only on flat, low-traffic areas or over a stable base. Local suppliers often carry regionally sourced mixes that reflect North Carolina geology, so ask about compaction and use-case when ordering.
Approximate needs for 100 sq ft: 1" depth = ~0.45 tons, 2" = ~0.9 tons, 3" = ~1.3 tons, 4" = ~1.7 tons. For a durable driveway in Glen Raven expect a compacted base of 3" to 6" of crushed stone plus a 2" surface layer, so plan accordingly. These are estimates; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a supplier estimate for a precise number.
Yes, weather and runoff affect gravel longevity. Glen Raven has seasonal freezes and occasional heavy rainfall in the region that can cause rutting and washouts, especially over poorly drained or clay soils. Proper base construction, adequate drainage (ditches or pipe), and routine maintenance greatly reduce weather-related damage.
Permit requirements vary by location; in many parts of Alamance County a driveway resurfacing with gravel does not require a building permit, but changes to curb cuts or new hard surfaces might. Homeowner associations in Glen Raven may have rules about driveway materials or appearance, so check your HOA covenants and call Alamance County planning if you are unsure before ordering.
Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option and drains well, but it requires more regular maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt offers a smoother, mid-cost surface that needs periodic sealing; concrete is most durable but highest up-front cost and can crack in freeze-thaw conditions without joints. Pavers give a high-end look and good drainage but cost more to install; in Glen Raven choose based on budget, expected maintenance, and local drainage conditions.
Plan on annual tasks like raking, filling low spots, and regrading after heavy rains, with small material top-ups every 1-3 years. Typical annual upkeep for a residential driveway in Glen Raven runs about $50 to $300 for occasional material purchases or small contractor visits; a larger refresh (re-grading plus 1-2 tons added) every 3-5 years may cost $150 to $600 depending on material and access. Proper grading and drainage reduce long-term costs.
Yes, bulk suppliers and quarries typically sell by the ton at lower unit prices than retail landscape yards, which mark up material for bagging and small loads. For projects larger than the Hello Gravel 3-ton minimum, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective choice. Landscape yards are convenient for small decorative projects, but expect higher per-ton costs and bag fees.
On slopes or clay subgrades in Glen Raven, install a stable sub-base of larger crushed stone (3" to 6") and then a 2" to 3" compacted surface of smaller crushed stone; include geotextile fabric to limit mixing of soil and stone. Install proper drainage (French drains, swales, or edge drains) and consider terraces or retaining walls on steep slopes to prevent washouts. Compact in layers with a plate compactor and inspect after heavy rain to catch early erosion.
Geotextile fabric material and installation typically add about $0.20 to $0.60 per sq ft, and contractor-installed geotextile can raise costs depending on access and slope. Compaction may involve equipment rental ($100 to $250 per day) or contractor labor ($100 to $300), so for a typical small driveway you might add $150 to $600 total for fabric plus proper compaction. These costs vary with site conditions; ask suppliers and installers for itemized estimates.
