Why Lowell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lowell is a smaller but growing community with a population of 3,090, and its steady expansion is reflected in a wider regional market that serves a metro area of 2.3+ million. A local growth rate of 2.80% annually means more remodeling, infill construction, and outdoor upgrades as homeowners and small developers invest in yards, driveways, and stormwater improvements. The area's climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b—favors longer planting seasons and outdoor living spaces, but it also places a premium on materials that manage water and resist sun exposure. For projects from basic grading and drainage to planting beds and paving, homeowners benefit from quality bulk supplies—dirt and topsoil for lawns and beds, sand and stone for drainage and base layers, and mulch and compost for plant health—sourced locally to match regional geology and performance needs.Popular Projects in Lowell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lowell Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lowell.
Hello Gravel serves Lowell's primary ZIP code, 28098, and many nearby ZIP codes in the West North Carolina region through a network of local suppliers. Service availability depends on supplier coverage and haul distance, so enter your ZIP at checkout to confirm whether we can deliver to your address. If you have a special location or long driveway, our team can confirm truck access and drop-off options before delivery.
Start by matching the material to the project goal—structural stability for driveways, good drainage for paths and beds, or appearance for decorative areas. Consider local climate and soil: materials sourced regionally in West North Carolina may compact differently and have color variations. Use our material calculator and contact our sales team if you need help sizing or comparing options.
Lowell's humid summers and occasional winter freezes mean heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles can affect settling and compaction. Schedule large deliveries and installations during drier months when possible, and plan for proper grading and compaction to minimize erosion. For erosion control or drainage projects, address work before the rainy season to reduce rework.
Our standard delivery window is at least 2 business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is rare and depends on local supplier and truck availability; contact customer service to check options. We confirm date and delivery window after you place the order so you can plan accordingly.
Order size depends on area and required depth; as a rule of thumb, small walkways or beds often need 1 to 3 tons, single-car driveways commonly need 10 to 20 tons, and larger driveways or commercial areas can require 30 tons or more. Always calculate using square feet and desired depth, then add 5-10% extra for compaction and uneven terrain. Use our online calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle, so plan for adequate turning room and a stable drop zone. Let us know about narrow entrances, low-hanging wires, or soft ground when ordering so we can coordinate with the driver; drivers may refuse unsafe drops. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout—drivers may do it at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Possibly. Driveway changes, major grading, retaining walls, and certain stormwater or erosion-control measures can require permits from the City of Lowell or Gaston County, and many HOAs have rules about materials and appearance. Check with your local permitting office and HOA before purchasing materials so you can plan for inspections or restrictions. Our team can help you time deliveries around permitting requirements but does not handle permitting.
Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and particle size can vary based on regional geology. Those natural differences affect appearance and how materials compact or drain, so expect some variation from photos or samples. If color or texture is important, note your preference in Order Notes and our team will try to match available local material.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible; changes are easier to make before orders are dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For issues after delivery, report them promptly and we will work with the local supplier and hauler to resolve the concern. Refer to our refund and claims policies for details and keep photos of the delivery area to help speed resolution.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
