Gravel Built For Matthews Wet Seasons • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Support
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 Matthews Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Matthews is a growing suburban community with a population of 79,266, seeing steady demand for home improvements as the area expands at an annual growth rate of 2.80%. With a moderate climate—228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—local yards balance sun exposure with regular wet seasons that influence landscaping choices. Homeowners and contractors in Matthews are investing in durable, low-maintenance outdoor projects: driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and low-water garden beds. That steady building and renovation activity makes quality aggregates essential, since the right gravel improves drainage, stabilizes surfaces, and reduces erosion on sloped lots. Regional sourcing means stone color and texture reflect North Carolina geology, so selecting the correct aggregate size and finish matters for both function and curb appeal. Gravel performs well in Matthews because it sheds water, reduces mud in rainy periods, and tolerates the region’s seasonal sun without compacting like clay soils. Typical uses include base layers for pavers, permeable driveway surfaces, French drains, and simple garden paths. Hello Gravel connects Matthews homeowners to local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, simplifying orders with clear pricing, a 3-ton minimum, scheduled delivery, and a standard 2+ business day window—plus a next-day option for qualifying orders—so you get the right gravel for your site without the legwork.Popular Projects in Matthews This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Matthews gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Matthews.
Local suppliers in Matthews generally stock crushed stone (including #57), pea gravel, screenings (crusher run), river rock, and larger base gravels. Availability varies by supplier and season because materials are regionally sourced, so color and texture can differ from photos. If you have a color preference, add it in Order Notes when you check out.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which is a common minimum for local Matthews deliveries. For planning: a 10x10 area at 2 inches deep needs roughly 1 ton; for driveways, 3 to 4 inches is common for a wearing layer, with an additional 4 to 6 inch compacted base for heavy use.
Many Matthews-area deliveries are free within a standard radius, but fees commonly range from about $50 to $150 if suppliers must travel farther or use smaller trucks. Hello Gravel standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; tight access, narrow drives, or steep grades can add fees or require different equipment.
Matthews has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers, frequent rain, and occasional freeze-thaw in winter. Choose angular crushed stone for driveways to lock together better and resist rutting, and plan for good drainage and edging to prevent washout after heavy storms. Expect to replenish high-traffic areas and raked surfaces seasonally, and use geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with underlying soil.
Installed costs in Matthews typically range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot for a basic gravel driveway, depending on depth, prep work, and whether a compacted base is installed. Delivered material prices commonly run about $30 to $75 per ton depending on type; contractors will add labor, grading, and compaction, which drive the total cost.
Many Matthews homeowners need to check Town of Matthews zoning rules and any HOA covenants before installing a gravel driveway, especially for front-yard or curb-facing surfaces. Common restrictions address driveway width, stormwater runoff, and visibility; contact your town planning department or HOA board to confirm requirements before ordering materials.
Local contractors usually remove topsoil, establish proper slope, and lay geotextile fabric to separate soil from aggregate. They then install a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone (like crusher run or #610), compact in layers, and finish with a 2 to 3 inch wearing course of #57 or pea gravel, compacting again for stability.
Decorative and washed gravels are available from Matthews-area suppliers, but colors and screened sizes can vary seasonally because materials are locally sourced. If you need a particular color or size for landscaping, order in advance and note color preferences at checkout so suppliers can confirm availability.
Homeowners commonly report rutting, washout after heavy rain, and weed growth. Effective prevention includes proper base preparation and compaction, installing edging and drains to control runoff, using geotextile fabric, and periodic top-ups; for weeds, use landscape fabric under the gravel and consider a low-rate herbicide or weed barrier product.
Local suppliers typically deliver within 20 to 35 miles of Matthews, though exact radii depend on the supplier and truck availability. Narrow driveways, long walk-ups, steep grades, or locations that require smaller trucks may incur extra charges or require customer staging areas; provide photos and detailed notes at order time so drivers and suppliers can plan.
Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and allows excellent drainage, making it a good choice for rural or budget-conscious Matthews properties. Asphalt is more durable and lower maintenance long term but costs more initially, while pavers offer the best curb appeal and longevity at the highest price; factor in local rainfall and maintenance willingness when choosing.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
