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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Haw River gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Haw River.
In Haw River, the main concerns are drainage and the local clay-heavy soils that hold water and promote rutting. Choose angular, compactable gravel and plan for a proper base and slope so water drains away from the surface. Also consider how much shifting and maintenance you are willing to accept—some decorative gravels move more than crushed stone.
For Haw River's clay and frequent rain, crushed stone and crusher run perform best because the angular particles lock together and resist washout. #57 or 3/4" crushed stone is a good top layer for driveways and walks, while crusher run (mixed fines) makes a stable base. Pea gravel and river rock drain well but tend to shift and are better for decorative areas or low-traffic paths.
Use area x depth/324 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 to convert to tons. Typical ranges: 1-car driveway (10x20) at 4-6" depth: about 3-5 tons. 2-car driveway (20x20) at 4-6": about 6-10 tons. 12x12 patio at 2-3": about 1-2 tons. A 100-ft road at 10 ft wide at 4-6": about 16-24 tons.
Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes and often includes free delivery in many areas, but costs vary by supplier, distance, and truck type. If charged, material delivery in the West NC area typically appears as a small per-ton fee or a flat delivery charge; tailgate spreading is sometimes available for an extra fee or at the driver's discretion. The most accurate way to know is to check your zip code on our site or request a quote so you get current local pricing.
Local contractors recommend a prepared subgrade with geotextile fabric over soft clay, followed by a compacted crushed-stone base (4-6" or deeper on poor soils) in 2- to 3-inch lifts. Create a crown or 2% grade for drainage, install edge restraints, and finish with a surface stone that resists movement, like #57. Avoid loose fines on top that can wash away during heavy storms.
Expect light maintenance every season in rainy months and a more thorough reshaping and topping every 1-3 years depending on traffic and drainage. Typical annual top-up for a residential driveway is modest: around 0.5 to 2 tons per year for most Haw River homes, with higher needs after heavy rain or if sections wash out. Regular raking, filling low spots, and preserving the crown will reduce how often you need large replacements.
Homeowners often choose gravel for lower upfront cost, better rainwater infiltration, and easier repairs, while asphalt and concrete are preferred for a low-maintenance, smooth surface. Pavers give a finished look and strong load-bearing capacity but cost more to install. Gravel remains popular in rural Haw River settings where drainage and budget are priorities, but it requires more ongoing maintenance than hard surfaces.
Yes—because Hello Gravel sources regionally, recycled materials and crushed concrete are commonly available in West North Carolina depending on the supplier. When ordering, request recycled or screened material in Order Notes or ask our team to match you with suppliers who offer those options. Regional availability varies, so we recommend checking your zip code and asking for a specific material before placing an order.
On flat, well-draining sites over firm soil, a 4-6" compacted gravel layer may be sufficient for driveways. On clay subsoils, low spots, or sloped terrain common around Haw River, contractors often recommend 6-8" or more of compacted crushed stone and a geotextile to prevent mixing with the subgrade. Always design for positive drainage and include culverts or swales where water collects.
Pea gravel and decorative river rock are often priced similarly per ton but can cost more per cubic yard because they are lighter; crushed stone and crusher run are usually the most economical when measured by coverage and stability. Material cost is only part of the equation—crushed stone often reduces future maintenance costs in wet Haw River conditions because it locks up and drains better. For current local prices, check your zip code on our site or request a quote so you get exact per-ton and delivery details.
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.
