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 Half Moon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Half Moon has a population of 12,000 and sits within a growing regional market that is part of a metro area population of 2.4+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.69% annually and a moderate climate (hardiness zone 8b), local building and landscaping demand is rising. Homeowners and small contractors are taking on projects like driveway upgrades, drainage fixes, patios, and erosion control to keep properties resilient and attractive. Half Moon’s 228 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 33.90 inches support year‑round work but also create a need for materials that handle both sun exposure and occasional heavy rainfall. Because local geology affects color and texture, homeowners look for reliable gravel sources that deliver consistent performance for vehicle traffic, footpaths, and water management.Popular Projects in Half Moon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Half Moon gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Half Moon.
Pea gravel is not a good choice where stones need to stay perfectly stable, such as steep driveways, wheelchair ramps, or paths where you will frequently push a stroller or lawn mower. It shifts and migrates under vehicle and foot traffic, especially after heavy North Carolina rain, so choose crushed stone or a bound surface for those uses.
Material costs vary by type and local supply, but expect basic crushed gravel to run roughly $20 to $50 per ton in the North Carolina region. Decorative gravels like pea stone or colored aggregates can cost more; delivery and haul fees may add $50 to several hundred dollars depending on distance and truck size.
A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 12 tons (roughly 8 to 10 cubic yards) of pea gravel. With material and delivery included, a full truckload often falls in the range of $500 to $1,000, but prices depend on local material rates, truck availability, and how far the supplier must travel.
You do not typically need a layer of sand under pea gravel; a compacted base of crushed stone or coarse aggregate is a better choice for stability and drainage. In wet parts of Half Moon, consider a compacted 2-4 inch crushed stone base and optional geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with underlying soil and improve drainage.
'Poor man's concrete' usually refers to compacted crushed stone or gravel used as a low-cost hard surface instead of poured concrete. It can work for temporary driveways or low-traffic areas, but it won't have the strength or durability of real concrete and can rut or wash out in heavy North Carolina rains.
One ton of typical gravel covers about 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth. For a 12 ft by 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft) at 3 inches deep, you would need about 6 tons of gravel.
Buying in bulk by the ton from a local supplier is usually the most cost-effective option, since per-ton prices drop with larger orders and reduce multiple delivery fees. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers, choose a single delivery, and schedule a dump truck to save on per-ton cost.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who deliver to the Half Moon area; our minimum order is 3 tons. Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout and be prepared that it may not be possible for safety or access reasons.
Local rules vary by county and neighborhood, so check Half Moon municipal codes, your county planning office, and any HOA before installing a gravel driveway. Also plan for drainage: North Carolina's frequent heavy rains mean you should grade toward swales or a culvert, add proper base material, and include edge restraints to prevent washout.
For a 12 ft by 40 ft driveway at 3 inches deep, calculate volume: 12 x 40 x 0.25 ft = 120 cubic feet, which is about 4.44 cubic yards. That converts to roughly 6 tons of gravel, so plan to order at least 6 tons (and consider ordering a little extra for compaction and waste).
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.
