Why High Shoals Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
High Shoals, with a city population of 609, sits inside a growing West North Carolina metro area of 2.3+ million and is seeing steady development driven by a 2.80% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports active outdoor projects from new driveways to garden renovations. As new homes and renovations appear around town, homeowners need reliable aggregates for drainage, stable drive surfaces, and low-maintenance landscaping. Quality gravel with consistent gradation helps prevent rutting, improves runoff control after rain, and provides a durable base for patios and pavers in High Shoals' largely temperate conditions.Popular Projects in High Shoals This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - High Shoals gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in High Shoals.
A delivered tri-axle load (about 10–12 cubic yards, roughly 10–14 tons depending on the material) typically runs between about $400 and $900 in the High Shoals area. Final price depends on the gravel type, local supplier rates, and delivery distance from the quarry. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and can provide a firm, location-specific quote online or by phone.
If you mean a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide single-car driveway, at a 3" depth you need roughly 2 cubic yards (about 3 tons) of gravel; materials alone would likely range from $75 to $250 depending on material choice. Labor for grading, base preparation, and spreading typically adds several hundred dollars, so total installed cost often falls between $400 and $1,200 for a small 20' x 10' driveway. For an accurate estimate, provide your exact dimensions and desired depth so Hello Gravel can supply a firm materials quote and you can get local contractor bids for labor.
Two inches of loose gravel is generally too thin for a driveway in West North Carolina; it will move and rut under vehicle traffic. We recommend at least 3"–6" of compacted gravel for the surface, plus a compacted sub-base (crushed stone or crusher-run) if the soil is soft or drainage is poor. Thicker sections give better stability on High Shoals' varied terrain and handle seasonal wet weather more reliably.
Use this formula: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For example, a 12' x 50' driveway at 4" depth needs about 7.4 cubic yards. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10–12 cubic yards, so that project would be less than one full tri-axle load; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum if your order is very small. Contact us with your dimensions and desired depth and we will calculate the exact cubic yards and recommend the best delivery option.
Yes — Hello Gravel serves High Shoals, NC where available; check your zip code on our site to confirm local coverage. Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order processing, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many orders in populated areas qualify for free delivery, while remote locations may have a delivery charge shown at checkout.
For a durable driveway in West North Carolina we commonly recommend a compactable base like crusher-run or 3/4" minus crushed stone with a 3/4" clean stone or '57' style top layer for drainage and traction. Locally the material cost typically ranges from about $30 to $70 per ton depending on type and region-specific availability. Regional names and exact stone sizes vary, so request material photos and specs at checkout to match local geology around High Shoals.
Permit and HOA rules vary by town, county, and neighborhood; High Shoals residents should check local town or Gaston County regulations and any HOA covenants before starting work. Hello Gravel does not obtain permits but can provide material specifications, invoices, and delivery paperwork to help with permit applications or HOA approvals. If you need help, contact our sales team and we can advise what documentation suppliers typically provide.
Grading and compaction costs depend on site access, equipment needed, and job size; small jobs often run from about $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot or $75 to $150 per hour for a contractor with an excavator and compactor. For many residential driveways expect $300 to $1,500 for proper grading, sub-base installation, and compaction. We recommend getting at least two local contractor bids because prices and equipment availability around High Shoals can vary.
Ongoing maintenance usually includes periodic regrading, patching low spots, and topping up gravel every 1–3 years; a common top-up is 1/2" to 1" of clean stone which for small driveways can be a few hundred dollars delivered. Hello Gravel specializes in material delivery and can schedule repeat deliveries, but spreading and regular maintenance services depend on local haulers and contractors and are performed at the driver's discretion. If you want recurring material deliveries, we can set up future deliveries and help coordinate hauling partners in your area.
Yes — provide your zip code, delivery address, desired gravel type, and estimated area or dimensions on our website or by phone to get a firm materials and delivery quote. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only if it can be done safely and we do not guarantee spreading. For small properties remember our 3-ton minimum and the option to schedule next-day delivery if you order before noon CST.
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.
