Gravel: Built For Merritt Rain And Sun • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Service
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 Merritt Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Merritt has a population of 780 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million people that is expanding at 2.80% annually. The local climate—228/year sunny days, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun-driven drying and periodic heavy rain events. That combination drives steady demand for residential projects: driveway repairs, drainage upgrades, patios, and landscape beds. Homeowners choose quality aggregates because well-graded gravel stabilizes surfaces, improves runoff control, and reduces maintenance over time. As the area grows, reliable access to suitable gravel size and texture becomes more important for both DIYers and contractors tackling renovation and new-build work. Gravel is well suited to Merritt’s conditions: an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches and 228/year sunny days favor materials that shed water and resist erosion. Coarse, angular gravel sizes work well for driveway bases and French drains, while wAshed decorative gravels provide stable, low-maintenance surfaces for walkways and planting beds. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and trusted haulers so you get materials that reflect regional geology and match local soil and drainage needs. Order online, choose a delivery date, and our team coordinates the haul so your project gets the right gravel for Merritt conditions.Popular Projects in Merritt This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Merritt gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Merritt.
Delivered gravel prices near Merritt, NC usually depend on material type and distance from local quarries; expect a rough range of about $30 to $70 per ton delivered for common gravels, with specialty stone costing more. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and final price is confirmed at checkout based on supplier and truck routing.
For Merritt's hilly, wet climate, angular crushed stone (like #57 or crusher run) is usually best for driveways because it locks together for stability and sheds water. Pea gravel looks nice but can shift and is harder to maintain on slopes, so it is better for flat walkways or decorative areas.
Merritt sees periodic freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain events that can wAsh out poorly drained gravel and cause ruts. PRoper base prep, good drainage (ditches, culverts, slopes), and occasional regrading and topping up will extend a gravel surface's life in this area.
Use this simple method: area (ft2) x depth (ft) x 0.05185 = tons. For example, a 20x40 (800 ft2) at 2 inches (0.167 ft) needs about 6.9 tons (round to 7 tons); a 12x30 (360 ft2) at 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 4.7 tons (round to 5 tons). Remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum when ordering.
On steep or hilly sites near Merritt, add a compacted crushed-stone base (crusher run) of several inches, install geotextile fabric to limit mixing with soil, and provide surface drainage like crowned profiles or side ditches. You may also need retaining walls, check dams, or additional aggregate thickness in erosion-prone areas.
Gravel is lower upfront cost and easier to maintain or change, which suits rural Merritt pRoperties, but it requires periodic grading and topping up. Asphalt or concrete give lower maintenance and a smoother surface long-term but have higher installation costs and may need permits or specialized contractors.
Merritt's small size means suppliers are typically regional; Hello Gravel sources from nearby suppliers and can arrange delivery. Bulk pickup may be possible if a supplier allows it and you have a suitable truck, but many customers opt for delivery by dump truck for convenience.
Regulations vary by county and road classification; if your driveway ties into a public road you may need a permit or a DOT/ county driveway permit and specific culvert or sight-distance requirements. Check with the local county public works or NC Department of Transportation before Starting work.
Angular crushed stone and medium-size stones (3/4" to 1") hold together better for plowing and give good traction in Merritt winters, while loose rounded pea gravel can scatter and be difficult to plow. If you plan to snowplow, choose a stable aggregate and consider a thicker surface layer.
Contractor prices vary with site prep, drainage, and slope, but many rural gravel driveway installations in the region run roughly $2 to $6 per square foot or about $50 to $150 per ton installed, depending on complexity. Ask local contractors for on-site estimates and compare those to delivery-only costs from Hello Gravel.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
