Why Holly Ridge Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Holly Ridge has a city population of 10,880 and sits inside a growing regional market (metro area population 2.3+ million) that is adding residents at a 2.80% annual rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun and periodic heavy rain that influences yard design and drainage needs. That combination drives steady homeowner demand for durable, well-draining aggregates: driveways and parking pads that shed water, garden paths that resist rutting, and erosion-control applications on sloped lots. Homeowners in Holly Ridge look for consistent material texture, predictable compaction, and good drainage performance so their projects hold up through both sunny spells and wet periods.Popular Projects in Holly Ridge This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Holly Ridge gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Holly Ridge.
Delivered gravel prices in Holly Ridge commonly fall in a broad range depending on material and distance; expect roughly $40 to $80 per ton as a starting estimate, with variations for specialty materials. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and often offers free or flat-rate delivery in many areas, so check your zip code for exact pricing and available suppliers. For the most accurate cost, get a quote through our site or contact our team with project details.
For Holly Ridge's coastal plain soils and humid climate, 3/4" crushed stone (often called 57 stone) or angular crushed stone with fines performs well because it compacts and sheds water. Pea gravel is attractive for paths but is less stable for driveways unless contained with edgings and a compacted base. In some coastal neighborhoods crushed shell mixes are used for aesthetics, but they may need more maintenance in heavy rain.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (length(ft) x width(ft) x depth(in)) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons (typical crushed gravel). For a 20x10 area at 4" depth, you need roughly 2.5 to 3.5 tons; at 6" depth expect about 5 tons. For a 40x12 area at 4" depth you need about 8 tons, and at 6" depth about 12 tons; always order 5-10% extra for compaction and settling.
Holly Ridge gets significant rainfall and occasional freezes, so surface runoff and washout are primary concerns rather than heavy freeze-thaw damage. Proper grading, a compacted base, geotextile fabric, and good edge restraints reduce erosion and rutting after storms. Adding fines or a stabilizer product can improve longevity in wetter spots but may make drainage slower, so balance stability with drainage needs.
Professional installation costs in Holly Ridge typically vary based on site prep: simple resurfacing might run $1 to $3 per sq ft, while full rebuilds with excavation, a compacted aggregate base, and grading often fall in the $2 to $6 per sq ft range. For an average single-family driveway you can expect a ballpark of $1,200 to $6,000 depending on length, soil issues, and drainage work. Always get multiple local quotes and confirm whether the price includes hauling, compaction, and permit work if needed.
Crushed stone provides the best stability and compaction for walkways and patios and handles rain runoff well, making it a good all-around choice. Pea gravel is comfortable underfoot and decorative but shifts easily and needs edging and more frequent raking or topping up. Crushed shell has a coastal look and compacts reasonably well in dry conditions, but it can break down faster in heavy rain and may require more maintenance in Holly Ridge's rainy months.
Hello Gravel serves nationwide through local suppliers; delivery availability to Holly Ridge depends on your zip code and local supplier network. Our standard minimum order is 3 tons, which meets many small residential projects, and delivery is usually by tri-axle dump truck. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to confirm availability, exact minimums, and any delivery area fees.
Typical maintenance includes annual to biennial regrading and filling low spots, topping up 1 to 2 inches of gravel every 1 to 3 years, and spot weed control; plan for occasional compaction or light regrading after heavy storms. Topping up costs in Holly Ridge commonly range from about $40 to $80 per ton delivered, so small annual budgets of $50 to $300 are typical for normal upkeep. More intensive repairs after erosion or poor drainage will increase costs, so address drainage early to reduce long-term expenses.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by neighborhood and whether your driveway connects to a state road; some HOAs have rules on surface materials, color, and edging. Check with the Town of Holly Ridge zoning or permit office and your HOA before starting work; if the driveway ties to a state-maintained road, NCDOT may have additional requirements. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel's team for advice and to help coordinate local supplier and contractor information.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost and offers excellent drainage, which suits Holly Ridge's rainfall, but it requires regular maintenance and has a shorter neat-life than asphalt or concrete. Asphalt and concrete provide a smoother, lower-maintenance surface with longer service life (often 15-30 years for asphalt and 30+ for concrete) but they cost significantly more up front and reduce infiltration. For resale, paved driveways often have a stronger curb appeal in many markets, but a well-maintained gravel driveway can be an acceptable, cost-effective option depending on neighborhood expectations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
