Why Horse Shoe Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Horse Shoe is home to 2,860 residents and sits in a steadily growing region with a 2.80% annual growth rate. That steady growth, combined with a moderate climate of 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, is driving more residential and small-scale construction projects—driveways, drainage upgrades, walkways, and landscape hardscapes—across the community. Homeowners in Horse Shoe need dependable aggregates that manage runoff, support vehicle loads, and blend with local soils and plantings. Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary with local geology, so choosing the right gravel mix helps avoid premature settling, reduces maintenance, and delivers better performance over time.Popular Projects in Horse Shoe This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Horse Shoe gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Horse Shoe.
Yes. Gravel is a practical choice for Horse Shoe’s hilly, wooded lots because it drains well and tolerates freeze-thaw cycles common in western North Carolina. Choose angular crushed stone and a well-compacted base for long-term stability, and add edging to keep material from spreading on slopes.
It depends on the gravel type. Smooth, small pea gravel can shift and pack into hooves, while well-compacted crushed stone with fines gives a firmer, more stable surface; avoid sharp, large stones in high-traffic horse areas and check with your farrier for hoof health concerns.
Use volume to estimate: area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons. For example, a 1-car 10 ft x 100 ft driveway at 3 in depth is roughly 9.3 cubic yards (about 13 tons). Use our online calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
In Horse Shoe’s Appalachian setting, angular crushed stone (like 3/4" or #57) is commonly best for driveways because it locks together and sheds water. Use larger stone for drainage features and finer mixes with some fines for walkways or areas you want compacted; expect some variation due to local sourcing.
Gravel can erode on steep or unprotected slopes during heavy storms if not installed properly. Prevent washout with proper base preparation, geotextile fabric, edging or berms, and by keeping good drainage paths; for steeper grades consider terracing or retaining elements.
Yes, we deliver to Horse Shoe where available. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and minimum orders are 3 tons delivered by tri-axle dump trucks. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion.
Loose rounded gravel is not ideal for turnout because it can be uncomfortable and get into hooves; compacted crushed stone or a designed aggregate base with proper drainage is a better option for high-traffic paddock areas. In many cases combining a compacted aggregate base with rubber mats or a top layer of footing material gives the best balance of drainage and hoof comfort.
Keep gravel graded so water runs off and does not pool, and regrade or add material after heavy rain events or annually as needed. Remove organic debris that traps moisture, top up low spots with fresh material, and consider periodic compaction in drive lanes to reduce rutting.
Keep leftover material on a level, compacted surface and contain it with timbers, pallets, or a stone edge to prevent spreading and erosion. Cover the pile if you want to limit washout and keep it off bare soil where it can mix with dirt; order only what you need or contact us about smaller delivery options if space is tight.
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.
