You can order gravel through Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers serving Mocksville and the greater Charlotte area. Enter your zip code on our site to see available materials, prices, and delivery dates; we arrange delivery with local dump truck fleets so you do not need to pick up material yourself.

Truck capacities vary, but a typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers 324 square feet at 1 inch deep, so a 10-yard load covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches or 810 sq ft at 4 inches. Keep in mind actual coverage changes with gravel density and compaction; ask your Hello Gravel rep for a delivery-specific estimate.

No, 2 inches is generally not sufficient for a driveway surface on its own. Most residential driveways need 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material (often a 3/4u0022 minus or crushed stone base) with a top layer as desired; 2 inches may be acceptable only as a thin top dressing over a properly prepared base. Local clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles in North Carolina can mean you need a stronger base, so consider a thicker section for vehicle traffic.

Cost depends on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, #57, etc.) and delivery. In Mocksville you can generally expect about $35 to $80 per cubic yard delivered; specialty or colored gravels can be higher. For a precise quote, check availability by zip code on our site or request a quote from our team.

A common choice is 3/4u0022 crushed stone (often listed as #57) for the surface and a compactable 3/4u0022 minus or ABC material for the base. These materials lock together and compact well for vehicle use while handling regional conditions like rain and mild freeze-thaw. If you prefer a smoother look, a thin top layer of pea gravel or fines can be added, but keep the compactable base underneath.

Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft area at 4 inches deep needs about (1000 x 4) / 324 = 12.35 cubic yards (roughly 17 to 18 tons). You can also use Hello Gravel’s material calculator on the product page for quick estimates and to account for waste or compaction.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. The driver will assess access, safety, and equipment on arrival and decide if spreading is possible. If spreading is required, mention it in Order Notes and contact our team ahead of delivery to discuss options.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, shape, and texture will reflect local geology and may differ from online photos. If appearance is important, add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and ask for a supplier description before purchase. If the delivered material is significantly different from your expectation, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue according to our policies.
