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.

Why Guilford County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Guilford County has a population of 5,498 and sits within a broader metro area of 2.4+ million residents that is experiencing steady growth at 0.69% annually. The local climate is moderate—an average of 228 sunny days per year, 33.90 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA Hardiness Zone 8b—which keeps construction and landscaping active year-round. That steady demand, from driveway repairs and drainage fixes to patio bases and garden paths, makes dependable aggregates essential. Homeowners seek gravel that compacts well, resists washout during rainy periods, and still allows for good drainage during long sunny stretches. Clear pricing, accurate quantity guidance, and reliable delivery are the top priorities when sourcing materials for these projects.Popular Projects in Guilford County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Guilford County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Guilford County.
Typical retail prices in Guilford County vary by material: expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton for common gravels (crusher run, #57, pea gravel) and about $35 to $85 per cubic yard depending on stone size and moisture. Prices change with supply, seasonal demand, and exact material spec; delivery and minimum-order fees can affect the total. Hello Gravel lists minimum orders (3 tons) and provides exact local pricing and delivery quotes for your zip code.
For Guilford County's heavy clay soils and periodic heavy rain, crushed stone and crusher run (#57 or 3/4" crushed stone with fines) perform best because they compact and drain better than loose decorative stone. Pea gravel is fine for walkways and decorative areas but tends to migrate and puddle on clay driveways. For driveways use a compacted base of crusher run topped with #57 or 3/4" stone; add drainage measures where water collects.
Local quarries, landscape supply yards, and regional aggregate dealers serve Guilford County and deliver to Greensboro, High Point, Jamestown and surrounding towns. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby vetted suppliers and local hauling fleets so you can compare material types and delivered pricing. If you need specific yard names or commercial accounts, contact our team and we will match you with suppliers that serve your exact zip code.
Use these local, practical estimates (allow 10-20% extra for compaction and uneven grading): a typical 2-car driveway (20' x 40') at 4" depth needs about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 14 to 17 tons); a 100 sq ft patio with a 4" base needs about 1.25 cubic yards (about 1.7 tons); a 200 ft long, 3 ft wide path at 3" depth needs roughly 5.5 cubic yards (about 7.5 tons). Always check measurements on site and use Hello Gravel’s calculator or call our team to confirm quantities.
Regulations vary: city rules in Greensboro and High Point, county zoning, and HOA covenants can limit visible surfaces, require screening, or set standards for driveway materials and drainage. Before ordering, check Guilford County Planning and Development or your city planning office and review HOA covenants for paving, setback, and stormwater requirements. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel sales and we can point you toward local permitting resources.
Yes. Local contractors commonly use a geotextile fabric to stabilize clay soils, then install a compacted base of 4 to 8 inches of crusher run (depending on traffic), and finish with a 1 to 2 inch surface layer of #57 or decorative stone. On slopes or areas with drainage issues they also recommend installing swales, French drains, or edge restraints to prevent washouts and migration.
Labor and equipment costs vary by size and access: small paths or patios often range from $200 to $800, while a full 2-car driveway installation (grading, base, compaction) typically ranges $800 to $3,000 or more depending on depth, slope, and local rates. Factors that raise cost include difficult access, significant grading, removing old material, and required drainage work. Always get multiple quotes from local contractors and factor those costs into your Hello Gravel quote.
Guilford County has a mild winter with occasional freezes and regular seasonal rainfall—conditions that can cause rutting, potholes, and washouts where drainage is poor and soil is clay. Expect to regrade and add material every 1 to 3 years on driveways and paths with moderate use; high-traffic areas may need maintenance more often. Good grading, edge restraints, and proper drainage reduce maintenance frequency significantly.
Yes, recycled crushed concrete and reclaimed aggregate are commonly available from local contractors and recycling yards in the region, and they are often used as an economical, stable base material. Reclaimed aggregate is a good option for base layers and driveways but can vary in color, fines content, and drainage characteristics compared with new stone. Ask suppliers about gradation and specs before ordering if appearance or drainage is important for your project.
Common mistakes include underestimating quantities (not accounting for compaction), ordering the wrong type of gravel for the use (e.g., pea gravel for driveways), and ignoring site drainage or access issues that affect delivery and performance. Also watch units—tons versus cubic yards—and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for many areas. To avoid problems, measure carefully, add 10-20% for compaction/waste, and discuss site conditions with our team before ordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
