Why Hildebran Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hildebran homeowners know their neighborhood is small but active: the city population of 1,860 sits inside a growing West North Carolina metro that supports a metro area population of 2.3+ million. With a 2.80% annual growth rate and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain each year (hardiness zone 8b), local projects tend to balance sun-loving plantings with the need for solid drainage. That steady growth drives demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, walkways, erosion control, and foundation backfill. Homeowners choose quality gravel because it stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage in wet spells, and complements landscapes that see both heavy sun and seasonal rain, making dependable materials important for long-term performance and curb appeal. Gravel performs well in Hildebran’s mix of sun and rain: it sheds water quickly to reduce puddling, resists washout when properly installed with a compacted base and edging, and reflects heat during sunny months so plant beds and pathways stay usable year-round. For these reasons, homeowners commonly pick 3/4" to 1" crushed or screened gravels for driveways and French drain projects. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offers clear online pricing, schedules deliveries (standard 2+ business days, next-day available before noon CST), and helps you pick the right gravel and quantity for Hildebran jobs without leaving home.Popular Projects in Hildebran This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hildebran gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hildebran.
Delivered crushed gravel in the Hildebran area commonly falls in the range of about $35 to $65 per ton, depending on stone size, local supplier rates, and delivery distance. Large orders, local availability, and seasonal demand can push prices lower or higher, so check your zip code or request a quote for an exact price. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and may offer free delivery in many areas.
For West North Carolina, crusher run (also called dense grade aggregate) and 3/4" crushed stone are top choices because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel can be attractive but shifts more easily and is less stable on slopes, so it is best for flat driveways or decorative areas. Consider local clay soils and seasonal heavy rain when choosing a denser, angular material that compacts into a firm surface.
A 24x40 foot driveway is 960 square feet. For a typical 3" top layer you will need about 12 to 13 tons; for a 4" depth plan on roughly 16 to 17 tons; and for a 6" full-depth (base plus top) expect about 24 to 25 tons. Always round up to allow for compaction and slope, and confirm with our material calculator or sales team.
Yes, Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Hildebran and the Hickory/Conover area for delivery by dump truck. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed. For spreading or specialized placement, ask for details when you order or arrange a local contractor.
Hildebran sees periods of heavy rain and occasional freeze-thaw, which can cause rutting, washouts, and surface displacement if drainage and compaction are inadequate. Good crowning, proper subgrade prep, edge restraints, and regular maintenance (grading and topping up) greatly reduce these issues. Using well-graded, angular gravel and installing drainage controls will improve longevity in the local climate.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is flexible for rural, low-traffic driveways, but requires periodic grading and added stone over time. Asphalt has a higher initial cost but generally needs less frequent maintenance and can be more cost-effective over many years for high-traffic driveways. Consider your budget, traffic level, and willingness to perform maintenance when choosing between the two.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery timeframe is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. The platform has a 3-ton minimum order. Delivery time and fees can vary by supplier and location, so check availability for your Hildebran zip code during checkout.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by location, so you should check with Hildebran town offices, Caldwell County, and any applicable HOA before starting work. Driveway work that affects a public right-of-way, curb cut, or storm drainage may require a permit. If in doubt, contact local planning or your HOA to confirm rules before ordering materials.
Common and effective options in the Hildebran area include geotextile fabric under the stone, permeable grid systems or cellular confinement, edge restraints, and properly-sized drainage swales or French drains. Vegetated swales and small retaining walls also help on steeper slopes to reduce runoff and washouts. Choose systems that match your slope, soil type, and rainfall patterns for best results.
Local contractors recommend removing organic material, grading to establish a stable subgrade with a slight crown, installing geotextile fabric on soft soils, and placing a compacted base layer (crusher run) before topping with 3/4" crushed stone. Compact each layer with a roller or plate compactor and use edge restraints to keep material from spreading. Regular maintenance, including occasional regrading and topping up, prevents rutting and extends the surface life.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
