Gravel: Built For Lake Lure Drainage • Free Local Gravel Delivery Options
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.
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.

Why Lake Lure Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Lure has a city population of 2,280 and sits inside a growing West North Carolina region with a metro area population of 2.3+ million that is expanding at about 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and plant hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners balance strong sun with periodic heavy rains when planning outdoor projects. That mix drives steady demand for durable, permeable materials: gravel is often chosen for its drainage, erosion resistance, and low maintenance compared with turf or paved surfaces. As construction and renovation activity increases across the region, Lake Lure homeowners seek aggregates that perform well in wet conditions and match the natural stone tones of the area. Gravel works well in Lake Lure because it promotes surface drainage and stabilizes high-traffic areas. Angular crushed stone provides interlocking strength for driveways and paths, while rounded pea gravel creates comfortable walkways and play areas that handle sun exposure without breaking down. Because local soils can hold moisture after storms, using a compacted base and geotextile fabric under gravel improves longevity and reduces washout. Hello Gravel connects you to locally sourced gravel, transparent pricing, and scheduled dump-truck delivery—standard service requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for qualified orders, and minimum orders start at 3 tons. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and our team can advise on quantities and placement.Popular Projects in Lake Lure This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Lure gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lake Lure.
Prices vary by gravel type, the tonnage you need, and the delivery distance from the supplier. Hello Gravel does not list flat rates because local suppliers set material and delivery charges; request a quote for an exact delivered price. Tailgate spreading may be available for an additional fee and is provided at the driver’s discretion, so include that service request when you get your quote.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which covers many small landscape and driveway jobs. Delivery fees vary by supplier and property access; many areas have free delivery but steep, narrow, or long-distance runs can incur surcharges. Check your zip code at checkout or contact our team to see exact fees for your Lake Lure address.
Suppliers may be able to provide tailgate spreading but it is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed. Some local contractors and suppliers do offer spreading and grading for an extra labor charge; rates vary with crew size, site access, and scope. When you order, request spreading in the Order Notes and ask our sales team for referrals or estimates for full installation in Lake Lure.
For a simple surface layer: a 1-car driveway (about 12 ft x 20 ft) at 3 inches depth needs roughly 2.2 cubic yards (about 3.1 tons using ~1.4 tons/yd3). A 2-car driveway (about 20 ft x 40 ft) at 3 inches needs roughly 6.7 cubic yards (about 9.4 tons). If you are building a base layer as well, add more material (common practice is a 4-6 inch base plus a 2-3 inch topcoat), so plan for higher quantities accordingly.
For Lake Lure’s hilly, wet climate, an angular crushed stone (such as 3/4" crushed stone or #57) makes a good topcoat because it compacts well and sheds water. Use larger, well-graded base material (crusher run or 1-2" stone) under the top layer for stability and drainage. Pea gravel is attractive but can shift on slopes, so combine it with a compacted crushed base if used for aesthetics.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood; some Lake Lure homeowners associations and the Town of Lake Lure may require design approval or a permit for a new driveway or curb cut. Suppliers can provide material specifications and delivery tickets to help with submittals, but you should contact your HOA and Lake Lure town hall or Rutherford County offices to confirm local requirements before ordering.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color and texture will reflect local geology and can vary from photos. Suppliers can try to match a picture if you upload it in the Order Notes, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If color is critical, request samples or ask about picking up a small test load before committing to a large delivery.
Yes. Steep driveways, narrow roads, tight turns, weight-restricted streets, and low-clearance bridges can limit truck access and may result in extra fees or alternate drop points. Heavy rain, frozen ground, or county road restrictions can also delay or reschedule deliveries. Provide clear access details and photos when ordering so suppliers can advise on any surcharges or special arrangements.
Hello Gravel’s platform focuses on bulk deliveries with a 3-ton minimum, so small bagged quantities are usually not offered through our bulk delivery service. For bagged gravel or very small amounts, check local garden centers, hardware stores, or landscape supply yards in Rutherford County. You can also ask our team for local suppliers who sell bags or small loads.
Standard lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Payment options include major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through our secure checkout. If you need to change or cancel, contact our team as soon as possible; modifications are easier before dispatch but are not guaranteed once a load is routed.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
