Why King Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
King homeowners benefit from steady local growth and a climate that shapes material needs. With a city population: 15,420 and the larger West North Carolina metro area population: 2.3+ million, construction and landscaping activity is rising along with a growth rate: 2.80% annually. King’s moderate weather—sunny days: 228/year, annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone: 8b—pairs with varied soils that demand durable, well-draining aggregates. Homeowners and contractors in King often need gravel for driveways, drainage trenches, hardscape bases, and erosion control where heavy rains and seasonal moisture can cause settling and rutting. Selecting the right gravel size and gradation helps projects last longer and reduces maintenance in this local climate. Gravel is an effective, low-maintenance choice for King yards because it sheds water, stabilizes surfaces, and tolerates sun and seasonal wetness. Locally sourced crushed and washed gravels match King’s geology and perform well over geotextile fabric for driveways or around foundations to improve drainage. Hello Gravel connects King customers with trusted local suppliers and scheduled dump-truck delivery, so you get the right material, in the right quantity, on a date that suits your project.

Frequently Asked Questions - King gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in King.
Material prices in King typically range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on type (e.g., crushed stone, pea gravel, river rock). Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and often includes delivery in the quoted price, but delivery fees can run $0 to $100 extra for remote or small orders. For an accurate quote, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team for local rates and next-day options.
For driveways in King, a 3/4" crushed stone or #57 angular stone over a crusher-run base is a good choice because it compacts well and sheds water. For patios and seating areas, pea gravel or 3/8" washed stone gives a finished look but needs edging to contain material. Due to regional sourcing, appearance and exact mix may vary, so add any color preference in Order Notes.
Use the rule of thumb that 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons. Example estimates: a 12'x40' driveway at 3" depth needs about 6 tons, a 12'x40' driveway at 4" needs about 8 tons, a 10'x12' patio at 3" needs about 2.5 to 3 tons, and a 3'x30' walkway at 2" needs about 1 to 1.5 tons. These are approximate; use our material calculator or contact us with exact dimensions for a precise recommendation.
Hello Gravel serves King through our network of trusted local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers that operate in West North Carolina. We coordinate sourcing and delivery for you, so instead of contacting multiple companies you can order online and get a confirmed delivery date. To see exact availability and supplier options, check your zip code on our site or call our sales team.
Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain can cause rutting, washouts, and frost heave in areas without proper drainage or compaction. Choose angular crushed stone for better interlock, maintain a well-graded base, and keep drainage channels clear to minimize problems after storms or freezes. Expect to do occasional top-up and grading in spring after wet seasons, especially on slopes and low spots.
For hilly driveways, use an open-graded base (1" to 1-1/2" clean stone) for drainage under a top layer of 3/4" crushed stone or #57 for traction and compaction. Install a geotextile fabric on soft spots and include swales, French drains, or catch basins where water concentrates. This combination helps water move through or away from the surface and reduces washouts on slopes.
Light tailgate spreading by the driver may be available by request at checkout, but it is done at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Professional spreading and grading prices in small-town NC commonly range from about $5 to $15 per ton or $50 to $90 per hour depending on crew size and site difficulty. Always request a local installation quote before booking so you can compare included versus add-on services.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost: expect roughly $1 to $4 per square foot installed for a basic gravel surface, while asphalt commonly runs $3 to $7 per square foot and concrete $4 to $12 per square foot in the King area. Gravel requires more frequent maintenance (periodic regrading and topping up) but has lower replacement cost, whereas asphalt and concrete require less frequent upkeep but higher initial investment. Choose based on budget, expected traffic, and how much maintenance you want to do over time.
Plan delivery on a dry day if possible and use the Order Notes to request a preferred drop location since our trucks are local haulers that will dump from the truck. Keep stockpiles covered or shaped so water drains away to prevent washouts and use edging to hold decorative gravels in place. If you need spreading help, request it at checkout and get a local contractor quote for mechanical grading on steeper or larger jobs.
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.
