Why Huntersville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Huntersville has a city population of 70,464 and sits in a rapidly growing part of West North Carolina, expanding at about 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days and 34.00 inches of rainfall each year in hardiness zone 8b, the local climate supports active landscaping and steady residential development. That combination of growth and climate drives demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners and contractors need material for driveways, base layers for patios and walkways, drainage trenches, and erosion control on sloped lots. Quality gravel helps control runoff during heavy rains, creates stable surfaces for vehicles, and reduces maintenance over time—so shoppers in Huntersville often prioritize angular, well-graded stone sourced nearby to match local soils and performance needs. Gravel is especially well-suited to Huntersville’s mix of sun, rain, and suburban soils because loose stone promotes rapid drainage and resists frost heave in zone 8b. Crushed stone for base layers compacts into a durable foundation while pea gravel or crushed fines make attractive top layers that shed water. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery, with a 3-ton minimum, standard 2+ business day delivery, and a next-day option when available—making it easy to get the right gravel for your project on schedule.Popular Projects in Huntersville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Huntersville gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Huntersville.
Material-only prices in Huntersville typically range from about $25 to $65 per ton depending on type (pea gravel at the low end, specialty decorative stone at the high end). Installed driveway costs usually run about $2.00 to $6.00 per square foot including labor, grading, and base work, with exact price depending on access, material, and site prep. Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and quarries that serve Huntersville and Mecklenburg County, and availability varies by zip code. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team to see the specific local sources and material options for your address.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood: Huntersville and Mecklenburg County may require driveway permits for curb cuts, changes to impervious surface, or stormwater considerations, and many HOAs have design rules about front-yard surfacing. Always check with the Town of Huntersville planning department and your HOA before ordering, and contact Hello Gravel if you need documentation for approvals.
Huntersville’s humid climate and local clay-rich soils tend to hold water, which can cause rutting, washouts, and slower drainage if a gravel layer is laid directly on native soil. To avoid problems, contractors usually install a compacted crusher-run base, proper slope for runoff, and sometimes geotextile fabric to separate gravel from clay and improve long-term stability. Expect more frequent maintenance in low areas or spots where water concentrates after heavy rains.
For slopes and drainage swales, crushed stone like #57 or 3/4" washed stone and crusher-run are the best choices because they lock together and allow water to pass without shifting. Pea gravel is not recommended on slopes or for drainage control because it moves easily and can wash away during heavy rain. Adding edging, proper grade, and a geotextile underlayer will improve stability on slopes.
Using a typical density of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1,000 sq ft requires approximately: 2" = 8.6 tons, 4" = 17.3 tons, and 6" = 25.9 tons. Actual tonnage can vary with the specific material and moisture content, so treat these as estimates and round up to account for compaction and settlement. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Labor and contractor costs vary with accessibility and scope, but typical rates for grading and base preparation run roughly $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot, with spreading, compacting, and finishing adding another $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot. For a full installed gravel driveway expect total labor and materials commonly in the $2.00 to $6.00 per square foot range; ask for detailed quotes since steep driveways, tree removal, or poor soils increase costs. Hello Gravel can help by connecting you to local contractors for quotes.
Yes. Crusher-run and well-graded recycled crushed stone compact into a firm base that resists rutting under heavy pickup traffic much better than loose pea gravel, which tends to shift and form ruts. For repeated heavy loads in Huntersville’s clay soils, use a thicker compacted base, edge restraints, and consider geotextile fabric to reduce movement and maintenance.
Expect routine maintenance such as regrading and adding fresh stone every 1 to 3 years in moderate- to high-traffic areas; low-traffic driveways may need topping every 3 to 5 years. After heavy storms inspect for washouts and low spots and refill promptly; keeping vegetation trimmed and maintaining edging also reduces erosion and drifting.
Local contractors commonly install a 4" to 6" compacted crusher-run base (or thicker on soft clay soils) topped with 1" to 2" of 3/4" crushed stone or #57 for a durable wearing surface. They often use geotextile fabric over problematic clay, aim for good slope and drainage, and mechanically compact layers to a firm surface to maximize longevity.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
