Gravel: Rain-Ready Drainage For Mebane • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Options Available
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!

Frequently Asked Questions - Mebane gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mebane.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Mebane area carries roughly 10 to 14 tons of gravel. Depending on the material, truck size, and delivery distance, expect a delivered truckload to cost roughly $400 to $900—material price per ton plus delivery and hauling fees; specialty or decorative gravels can push that higher. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, so smaller jobs may be priced differently.
In the Mebane area, common driveway or base gravel typically ranges about $30 to $70 per ton, while decorative or specialty gravels often cost $50 to $100 per ton. A cubic yard of gravel usually weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons, so expect roughly $40 to $105 per cubic yard depending on type and local sourcing. Prices vary by supplier and season, so check zip code availability and exact quotes at checkout.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 square feet. For a 2" layer you'll need about 2.5 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons), for 3" about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons), and for 4" about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.9 tons). Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so a 2" top layer is close to that threshold.
Quantity depends on driveway width. For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft), you need about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons) at 2", 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons) at 3", and 12.4 cubic yards (≈17.3 tons) at 4". For a 12 ft width scale those numbers up by 20% (about 7.4 yd/10.4 tons at 2", 11.1 yd/15.6 tons at 3").
Two inches of gravel is typically only suitable as a thin top dressing over a properly prepared base or for very light, occasional use. For a long-lasting residential driveway in the Mebane climate, a 3" to 4" top layer over a 3" to 6" compacted crushed stone base is commonly recommended to control washout and ruts. Heavier traffic or poor drainage areas usually need a thicker base and surface.
Assuming about 1.4 tons per cubic yard: 1 cubic yard covers roughly 324 sq ft at 1", 162 sq ft at 2", and 108 sq ft at 3". One ton (≈0.71 cu yd) covers about 231 sq ft at 1", 116 sq ft at 2", and 77 sq ft at 3". Actual coverage varies with gravel type and compaction, so these are practical estimates.
Crushed stone is mechanically fractured and has angular edges that lock together, giving a firmer, more stable surface for driveways. Natural gravel has smoother, rounder stones that drain well but can shift and rut more under traffic. In the Mebane area crushed stone is generally preferred for driveways for durability; it may cost a little more than loose natural gravel but often reduces maintenance over time due to better stability.
Pea gravel in the Mebane area typically runs around $40 to $80 per ton depending on color and supplier. Pea gravel is not ideal for driveways with regular car traffic, steep slopes, or areas where you need a stable surface because the round stones tend to move and scatter. It works well for patios, play areas, and decorative borders where shifting is less of a problem.
Buying in bulk with scheduled delivery is usually the most cost-effective option; Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and often includes free delivery in many areas, which saves on hauling. Other cost-saving options include pickup at a local quarry if you have a truck, or using recycled crushed concrete for base material; compare material quality, delivery fees, and minimum orders before deciding. Seasonal demand and local availability in West North Carolina will affect prices, so get a zip-code quote.
A standard wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 9 wheelbarrow loads. For example, a 20x20 driveway at 3" (≈3.7 cubic yards) is about 33 wheelbarrow loads, and a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3" (≈9.3 cubic yards) is about 84 wheelbarrow loads. Wheelbarrowing large amounts is time-consuming, so for most driveway projects delivery is the practical choice.
Yes, gravel can be stabilized using products like polymer binders, resin stabilizers, gravel grids (geocells), or permeable paver systems that lock stones in place and reduce tracking. Material and installation costs vary: DIY stabilizer products or binders may run a few dollars per square foot in materials, while professional installation with base prep and polymer binding or geogrid systems commonly ranges from roughly $6 to $20+ per square foot depending on prep, product, and labor in the Mebane area. Get local contractor estimates because site prep, drainage, and traffic loads strongly affect total cost and suitability.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
