Gravel: Drainage Built For Jefferson Climate • Next-Day Gravel Delivery For Home Projects
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Frequently Asked Questions - Jefferson gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Jefferson.
Expect delivered gravel in Jefferson to range roughly $30 to $80 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, river rock), distance from the quarry, and whether spreading is requested. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Contact our team or check your zip code for an exact quote and any local delivery promotions.
For Jefferson's temperate, freeze-thaw climate and hilly terrain, angular crushed stone (3/4" minus or 3/4" clean) is best for driveways because it interlocks and compacts well. Pea gravel and river rock look nice for paths but can shift on slopes and are harder to snow-plow, while limestone screenings or stone dust are good top layers to lock surface stones in place.
As a rule of thumb, one ton of crushed gravel covers about 120 sq ft at a 2" depth (about 80 sq ft at 3" depth). So a 12' x 50' walkway (600 sq ft) at 2" needs about 5 tons, while a 20' x 100' driveway (2,000 sq ft) at 4" depth needs roughly 33 tons. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a project-specific estimate based on local material density.
Gravel expands and contracts with freeze-thaw and can rut or wash out if drainage and compaction are poor, so a stable crushed stone base and good slope drainage are essential. Snowplows can catch loose gravel, especially pea or rounded stone, so use angular crushed stone and consider edging to keep material contained. On steep slopes, use a binder layer or smaller angular material and install geotextile and terraces or retaining edges to reduce movement.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and dump-truck haulers serving Jefferson and the surrounding West North Carolina area. Availability and exact material mixes reflect regional geology; check your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which local quarries supply your neighborhood and to get delivery timing.
Rules vary: some parts of Ashe County allow gravel driveways without a building permit, while HOAs often have covenants that restrict surface type, color, or access. Before installing, check with Ashe County Planning/Inspections and review your HOA covenants; Hello Gravel can help supply material specs if you need documentation for approvals.
Plan on light maintenance every 6-12 months (raking, filling low spots) and more thorough regrading or adding 1-3 tons of material every 1-3 years depending on traffic. After heavy spring rains or freeze-thaw cycles, regrade ruts and restore crown and drainage. Installing geotextile and edge restraints during initial installation reduces maintenance frequency.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost, provides excellent drainage, and is easy to patch, making it well suited to rural Jefferson properties, but it requires periodic maintenance and may be harder to snowplow. Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-maintenance surface with higher upfront cost and less permeability, while pavers are the most durable and aesthetic but also the most expensive. Choose based on budget, desired maintenance level, drainage needs, and slope.
Excavate to a stable subgrade, install geotextile fabric, then add a compacted subbase of larger crushed stone (4-6") and a 2-3" wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone; increase thickness on steep grades or clay soils. Add French drains, culverts, or swales to divert runoff and install edge restraints to keep gravel from migrating. Proper compaction and runoff control are the most important steps to prevent washouts in our mountain terrain.
Material-only costs in Jefferson typically fall in the $30 to $80 per ton range depending on the stone type; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. Professional installation, which includes grading, base preparation, drainage, and compaction, commonly runs about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft depending on site complexity, slope, and drainage needs. For an accurate project quote, request a delivery estimate and ask about local contractors who handle excavation and compaction.
Use a blade or plow with a rubber cutting edge and keep the blade a few inches above the gravel surface to avoid hauling away stone; remove snow quickly to minimize freeze-thaw damage. Consider a small layer of compacted stone dust on top to reduce loose stones and improve plowability, and add reflective markers at the edges to guide snow removal in low-visibility winter conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
