Gravel in Jamestown, NC

In Jamestown and the West North Carolina Piedmont, gravel often runs about $25 to $65 per ton depending on type (crusher run and #57 on the lower end, decorative pea gravel on the higher end). Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing and often offers free delivery in many areas, but local delivery fees can range from $0 to around $150 depending on distance, load size, and site access. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, and the best way to get an exact price is to request a quote for your zip code.

For driveways in Jamestown, crushed stone such as #57 or 3/4" crushed stone with a crusher-run base is a good choice because it compacts well and sheds water. For walkways, pea gravel or washed stone is comfortable underfoot and decorative, but pea gravel is not ideal for high-traffic driveways unless stabilized. Consider #411 or crusher-run underlayers for base stability, and add edging or stabilization grid if you expect vehicle traffic or steep slopes.

Hello Gravel can deliver materials to Jamestown through our network of local suppliers and haulers and handle scheduling and delivery logistics. For installation, many homeowners hire local landscape or paving contractors; check local reviews, ask for references and photos of past work, and confirm they are familiar with Piedmont drainage issues. If you need help finding a contractor, our sales team can suggest common local options, but we do not directly employ installation crews.

Calculate cubic yards first: length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons for typical crushed stone. Example: a single-car driveway 12'x20' at 3" depth is about 2.2 cubic yards or ~3.1 tons; a two-car 20'x20' driveway at 3" depth is about 3.7 cubic yards or ~5.2 tons. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so small decorative projects may need a larger minimum or order by the bag from local retailers.

Rules vary: some homeowners associations and local ordinances in the Jamestown/Guilford County area restrict visible front-yard materials, require certain curb or driveway standards, or regulate stormwater runoff. Before you install a gravel driveway or large front-yard surface, check your HOA covenants and contact the Town of Jamestown or Guilford County planning or building department to confirm permit requirements. When in doubt, request guidance from Hello Gravel and keep documentation showing compliance.

Jamestown's Piedmont climate has occasional freeze/thaw and moderate to heavy rainfall, which can cause rutting, potholes, and surface washouts if drainage and compaction are inadequate. To reduce issues, install a well-compacted base, create positive drainage (crowning or a slight slope), use edging, and add a top dressing layer after heavy winter or storm seasons. Regular maintenance after rainy periods will minimize erosion and extend the life of the gravel surface.

Gravel is the lowest-cost upfront option and is flexible for rural or rustic homes, but it requires more ongoing maintenance and periodic replenishing. Asphalt is more expensive initially but provides a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for 15-30 years depending on climate and care; pavers are the most expensive but offer the longest life and best appearance if budget allows. Consider drainage, local aesthetic rules, and long-term maintenance costs when choosing between them for properties in Jamestown.

In the Piedmont region crushed stone and #57 are commonly available and typically mid-priced because they are used widely for driveways and base layers. Pea gravel is often priced higher per ton because it is washed and selectively sized for decorative uses and may be sourced differently. Crusher-run (used for bases) is usually the most economical, while washed and decorative gravels cost more; request a specific quote from Hello Gravel to see current local pricing for each type.

With proper installation (compacted base, good drainage, and edging) a gravel driveway in Jamestown can function well for 10-20 years but needs periodic maintenance. Expect to regrade and add fresh material every 2-5 years, address potholes or ruts as they form, and perform light grading after heavy rain seasons or freeze/thaw cycles. Annual inspections and addressing drainage problems promptly will extend lifespan and reduce long-term costs.

Start with a compacted subbase or crusher-run layer, lay geotextile fabric on soft soils if needed, and create a crown or 2%+ cross slope so water runs off the driveway rather than pooling. Install solid edging (metal, timber, concrete, or stone) to keep material in place, and use culverts or swales where water concentrates to prevent undercutting. These measures, combined with regular regrading after storms, will significantly reduce washouts in Jamestown's rainy Piedmont climate.
