#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.

Why Mecklenburg County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mecklenburg County is home to 1.1+ million residents within a broader metro area of 2.4+ million, and its steady 0.69% annually growth is driving continued demand for housing updates, new construction, and infrastructure improvements. That steady expansion means homeowners and contractors are more frequently replacing driveways, improving drainage, and investing in outdoor living spaces. Mecklenburg's Hardiness Zone 8b, 228 sunny days annually, and moderate annual rainfall of 33.90 inches create conditions where materials must balance moisture management with sun exposure and wear resistance. Durable base materials that shed water, topsoil and mulch that retain moisture without compacting, and aggregates that support load-bearing surfaces all matter. In this environment, sourcing quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—reduces erosion, minimizes rework, and helps projects last longer under local conditions.Popular Projects in Mecklenburg County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mecklenburg County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mecklenburg County.
Prices vary by material type, local availability, and delivery distance, so exact rates change often. Instead of fixed numbers, use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool for current per-ton and per-yard pricing in your zip code; remember per-yard and per-ton are different units (1 cubic yard typically equals about 1.3–1.7 tons depending on the material). Delivery, minimum order size (3 tons), and any special handling can affect the final price.
Pick materials that compact well and allow water to drain rather than pool; look for options with angular particles and good interlock for high-traffic areas. Properly prepared base and drainage matter at least as much as surface material because Mecklenburg County’s heat, humidity, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling and washout without good drainage. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact the team for recommendations based on your project and site.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who deliver across Mecklenburg County, with delivery fees influenced by distance, truck access, and order size. Many areas qualify for free delivery, while next-day service and tight-access jobs may incur additional fees. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra charge.
Local regulations and permit requirements vary by municipality and neighborhood within Mecklenburg County, and some projects like new driveway connections, curb cuts, or significant regrading often need permits. Homeowners should check with their city or county planning and public works departments and review any HOA rules before starting. When in doubt, contact the county or your local municipality early in the planning stage to avoid delays.
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for most landscaping and hardscape work because soils are workable and weather is milder. Avoid scheduling large deliveries during prolonged wet periods or after heavy rains to reduce tracking, compaction issues, and soft-ground risks. Summer is workable but plan for heat-sensitive tasks; winter can be fine for some projects but watch for freeze-thaw conditions.
Local soils in Mecklenburg County can range from clayey to loamy; wetter or clay-heavy areas usually need a thicker, well-compacted base and better drainage solutions to prevent settling. Consider using geotextile fabric, increased base depth, or drainage features on sloped sites to protect surface materials. A quick site assessment will help determine how much base, slope correction, or undercutting is needed before ordering materials.
Home projects commonly include driveways, patios, walkways, garden beds, drainage trenches, backfill, and erosion control. Typical small-job amounts: garden beds and edging often need 1–3 cubic yards, short walkways 5–10 cubic yards, and driveways usually require 10–30 cubic yards depending on size and base depth. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate to avoid over- or under-ordering.
Deliveries are typically made by dump trucks (often tri-axle), so expect trucks that need adequate turning radius and a firm, level drop location. Ensure overhead obstructions, narrow driveways, soft ground, and steep slopes are noted at checkout; restricted access may require a smaller truck or a different drop point and could affect delivery fees. Provide clear directions and mark the intended delivery area to help drivers place materials safely.
Heat and humidity can promote vegetation growth and cause some materials to shift or settle, while freeze-thaw cycles can lead to frost heave in poorly drained or uncompacted bases. Long-term performance depends on proper base preparation, compaction, and drainage rather than material choice alone. Plan for maintenance like occasional regrading, replenishment, and ensuring flow paths for water to reduce deterioration over time.
Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers across Mecklenburg County and provides online quotes so you can compare options and schedule delivery. Many suppliers offer contractor referrals, and volume discounts or project pricing may be available for larger orders—ask our sales team for details and available savings. If you need help choosing materials or estimating quantities, use the material calculator or contact our experts for guidance.

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.

We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
