Gravel: Built For Magnolia Drainage • Fast 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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Magnolia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Magnolia has a city population of 3,020 and sits in a steadily growing regional market with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of wet seasons and long sun periods that shape landscaping needs. As development expands to serve a broader West North Carolina metro of 2.3+ million residents, homeowners are tackling more driveway repairs, drainage projects, and low-maintenance landscape installs. Quality gravel is sought to manage runoff, prevent erosion, and create stable, durable surfaces that hold up to seasonal rains and variable soils, while also matching local color and texture preferences for curb appeal.Popular Projects in Magnolia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Magnolia gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Magnolia.
Yes, gravel can be used around Magnolia trees, but avoid piling it against the trunk. Leave a 6-12 inch mulch or soil ring at the base and limit gravel depth to 2-3 inches over the root zone to avoid reducing moisture and oxygen to shallow roots common in our West North Carolina soils.
Gravel itself does not chemically harm roots, but heavy compaction from delivery trucks or very deep gravel layers can stress shallow Magnolia roots. Have truck drivers drop material away from the root zone when possible and spread no more than a few inches near established trees.
For driveways in Magnolia, 3/4" crushed stone or crush-and-run is commonly used for durability and compaction, while pea gravel or 3/8" crushed stone is nicer for walking paths and garden beds. Local suppliers in West North Carolina typically stock these sizes, so choose based on use and desired look.
A rough rule is 1 cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.4 tons; use that to calculate coverage by depth and area. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, so small projects under about two cubic yards may require ordering the minimum or rethinking delivery logistics.
Gravel will settle under normal traffic within weeks to a few months as fines compact and material beds in, with faster settling if compacted mechanically. Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in West North Carolina can shift loose gravel, so expect to top up or regrade after the first winter.
Gravel is low maintenance, improves drainage, and reduces mowing in Magnolia yards, but it can heat up in summer and is less friendly for lawn replacement where soils are clayey. Consider using gravel in high-traffic or decorative areas and combining with planting zones and organic mulch where trees like Magnolias need moisture.
You can plant through gravel if you prepare the planting hole by removing gravel, loosening the soil, and adding organic matter; avoid planting directly under a continuous gravel blanket. For new garden beds, install plants first then add a thin gravel layer around them to improve drainage.
Local city ordinances or neighborhood HOAs may restrict front-yard gravel, drainage changes, or visible surfacing, so check Magnolia city rules and your HOA before ordering. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your local municipal planning office for guidance.
Well-installed crushed stone that provides good drainage performs well through Magnolia winters and heavy rain, but fine decorative gravels can wAsh or scatter on slopes. Use pRoper base layers and edging for long-term stability and expect occasional maintenance after heavy storms.
Rake or use a leaf blower set to low to remove leaves without displacing gravel, and plan to top up thin spots once a year. Keeping a 2-3 inch gravel layer and addressing compaction or wAshouts after storms will help maintain appearance and function.
Hello Gravel arranges delivery through local contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle); standard delivery takes 2+ business days with next-day avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST. Note delivery placement preferences and root-sensitive areas in Order Notes, request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver will assess on arrival), and be aware drivers may need a clear approach to your drop area.
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.

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.

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!
