River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.

Why Knotts Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Knotts Island, with a population of 1,740, is part of a regional landscape experiencing steady expansion. A 2.80% annual growth rate suggests sustained demand for residential repairs, additions, and smaller-scale development rather than large urban infill. For homeowners this typically means more projects like driveway resurfacing, erosion control, hardscape installation, and planting beds—all of which rely on reliable bulk materials like gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year and 34.00 inches of rain—combined with hardiness zone 8b, supports year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that handle moisture cycles and moderate freeze-thaw stress. Quality aggregates and soils matter here because they influence drainage, plant establishment, and structure longevity; choosing the right texture and gradation can reduce erosion, limit rutting on driveways, and improve plant health across seasonally variable conditions. Knotts Island’s mix of coastal and inland influences creates soil and moisture patterns that affect material performance: sandy pockets drain quickly while finer silts hold water longer, and regular rainfall means drainage planning is critical. These conditions make material selection about fit, not just appearance—well-graded base material for driveways, permeable mixes for storm management, and stable fill for foundation work each respond differently to local soils and weather. For homeowners, that means thinking about compaction, drainage, and seasonal maintenance when ordering bulk supplies. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers who understand regional sourcing and by offering guidance on quantities, delivery timing, and materials that match Knotts Island’s climate and soil tendencies.Popular Projects in Knotts Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Knotts Island Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Knotts Island.
Homeowners and contractors on Knotts Island commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, drainage beds, and planting areas. Choose materials based on the job: durable, well-draining mixes for driveways and paths; looser soils or sand for leveling and backfill; and specialty stone or gravel for surfacing and decorative beds. Local availability and regional geology mean colors and textures can vary, so request photos or descriptions when ordering.
Because Knotts Island is coastal, pick materials that resist washout and remain stable when wet; well-graded, angular aggregates perform better than fine, loose sands in high-water situations. Salt spray can accelerate corrosion of metal edging or ties, so choose corrosion-resistant components and avoid materials that break down quickly in salty conditions. For properties in low-lying or flood-prone areas, plan for higher elevations, improved drainage, and erosion control to extend material life.
Common site-prep needs include grading to shed water, removing organic topsoil, stabilizing soft spots, and installing drainage or erosion-control measures; all of these add time and cost before materials are placed. Soft, saturated soils or hidden debris may require additional trucking, compaction, or imported base material to create a stable surface. Factor in permit needs or access challenges for remote lots, since difficult sites increase labor and equipment charges.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; minimum orders start at about 3 tons. Delivery fees vary based on distance from the supplier, truck access, load size, and any special handling or staging needs. Expect higher costs for tight access, long driveways, or if heavy equipment must be staged to move material onsite.
Yes—coastal and rural properties often have narrow roads, soft shoulders, low-clearance bridges, or limited turnaround space that affect truck access and unloading. Note any gates, height restrictions, or HOA rules in your order notes and consider providing a staging area where a tri-axle dump truck can safely unload. If your property floods or tides can reach access roads, try to schedule deliveries outside of high-water times and communicate constraints to the dispatcher.
Aim for drier months when ground conditions are stable—late spring to early summer or early fall are often best for outdoor deliveries and installation work. Avoid peak hurricane season and periods of heavy rain when possible, as wet conditions complicate access, increase the risk of washout, and can delay hauling. Book deliveries in advance, especially in spring and summer, to secure preferred dates.
Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert cubic feet to tons using a general conversion or use Hello Gravel’s online material calculator for a quick estimate. As a rule of thumb, specify the finished depth you want and add a small allowance for compaction or waste. If you’re unsure, use the calculator or contact our sales team with project dimensions for a tailored estimate.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request the service at checkout, but there are no guarantees it will be provided. Spreading depends on truck access, site safety, load type, and local conditions; the driver will assess on arrival whether spreading can be done safely. If you need guaranteed spreading or grading, plan to hire a local contractor separately and note that when scheduling delivery.
After delivery, prioritize proper grading to move water away from structures, install or maintain drainage features like swales and French drains, and use geotextile fabric or edging where material may wash out. Establish vegetation or groundcover on exposed areas as soon as practical to stabilize soil and reduce erosion. For larger or high-risk sites, consult a local contractor or engineer for long-term erosion-control solutions and to ensure compliance with local rules.
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.
