Why Kannapolis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kannapolis (city population 48,908) sits inside the rapidly growing Charlotte-Concord metro area (metro area population 2.8+ million), with a 2.00% annual growth rate that keeps residential renovation and new construction active across the region. Located in USDA hardiness zone 7b, Kannapolis averages about 213 sunny days per year and receives roughly 44.00 inches of rain annually—conditions that drive demand for reliable site drainage, erosion control, and durable surfacing. Homeowners increasingly turn to gravel for practical projects like stabilizing driveways and pathways, creating a stable bedding for patios and pavers, and improving French drain and swale performance during heavy rains. Contractors working in the area also depend on consistent, local aggregate supplies to stay on schedule, so choosing the right material size and shape upfront prevents rework and helps properties perform better through seasonal wet spells and sunny stretches.Popular Projects in Kannapolis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kannapolis gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kannapolis.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons for delivery. In Kannapolis and the Charlotte-Concord area suppliers typically deliver by tri-axle dump truck, so for small jobs plan on ordering at least the 3-ton minimum or get a quote for larger quantities.
Coverage depends on depth, but 1 ton of typical gravel will cover about 80 to 100 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Heavier or denser gravels and compaction will change coverage, so use this as a rule of thumb and confirm with your Hello Gravel quote.
Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards. For example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 9.3 cubic yards, roughly 11 to 13 tons depending on the stone; contact Hello Gravel for an exact quantity based on local material density.
For a driveway, 2 inches is generally too thin for long-term durability in Kannapolis' weather and traffic conditions. We recommend at least a 3-inch top layer over a compacted base; for regular vehicle traffic a 4 to 6-inch compacted depth (including base and surface) gives much better performance.
Coverage depends on depth: 10 cubic yards will cover about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches, about 1,080 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 810 sq ft at 4 inches. These are useful Kannapolis planning numbers; final amounts vary with compaction and the specific gravel you choose.
A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs about 3.7 cubic yards, roughly 4.5 to 6 tons depending on material. Costs vary by supplier, material type, and delivery; get a fast quote from Hello Gravel for current local pricing and delivery options in the Charlotte-Concord area.
For most gravel driveways and paths in Kannapolis, sand is not recommended as a base because it can wash away in heavy rain. A compacted layer of crushed stone or crushed rock provides a stable base; sand is appropriate only as bedding for pavers or very specific landscaping uses.
Buying in larger quantities, ordering direct delivery, and choosing locally sourced materials usually lowers per-ton cost in the Charlotte-Concord region. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes, schedule delivery to avoid multiple small loads, and select common regional gravel blends to save money.
A properly installed gravel surface can last many years, but it will require periodic maintenance like top dressing and grading. In Kannapolis' Piedmont climate expect to add a few inches of fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years for high-traffic areas and more often in places with heavy runoff or frost heave.
At 2 inches deep 1,000 sq ft needs about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 8 to 9 tons depending on the stone. At 3 inches depth you'll need about 9.3 cubic yards, or around 12 to 13 tons; contact Hello Gravel for a precise calculation using your chosen material.
Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for Hello Gravel deliveries carry roughly 10 to 12 tons of gravel, which is about 12 to 15 cubic yards depending on material. Exact capacity depends on truck type and local weight limits, so Hello Gravel will quote the recommended truck size for your order and site access.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 2 to 3 cubic yards of loose gravel depending on side height. For larger projects in Kannapolis it is usually more efficient to order a truck delivery through Hello Gravel than to rely on multiple small trailer loads.
A 55-gallon container holds about 7.35 cubic feet of volume, which is roughly 0.27 cubic yards. That equals a few dozen pounds to a few hundred pounds of gravel depending on density, so a small bag of decorative gravel or a fraction of a cubic yard from Hello Gravel is usually sufficient.
Gravel can shift, produce dust, and allow weeds if not properly installed and maintained, especially in sloped or high-runoff areas common around Kannapolis. It also may require periodic top-ups and grading, and loose gravel can be noisy or hard to walk on barefoot; plan maintenance and edging to minimize these issues.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
