Why Morehead City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Morehead City has a population of 13,070 and sits in a region experiencing steady development, with a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches and 228 sunny days per year in hardiness zone 8b—creates common yard and drainage challenges that drive demand for durable, well-graded aggregates. Homeowners and small contractors in Morehead City increasingly use gravel for driveways, French drains, patios, and erosion control because it holds up well under wet winters and sunny summers, improves site drainage, and reduces maintenance compared with fine soils. As new builds and yard upgrades increase, reliable local access to quality gravel becomes important for keeping projects on schedule and on budget.Popular Projects in Morehead City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Morehead City gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Morehead City.
In Morehead City, gravel prices typically range from about $25 to $65 per ton depending on type (pea, #57, #411, or crushed stone) and particle size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and many areas have free delivery included in the price; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day options are available for an additional fee. Final price depends on your zip code, material choice, and access to the delivery site.
For driveways in coastal Morehead City, #57 crushed stone and #411 (a mix of fines and stone) are the most common because they lock together and provide good load-bearing and drainage. Pea gravel and rounded river rock are popular for walking paths and decorative areas but are less stable for vehicle traffic. For sandy, salty, and wet coastal conditions choose angular crushed stone and consider a compacted base for durability.
As a rule of thumb, one ton of crushed gravel covers about 75 to 80 square feet at 3 inches deep, about 55 to 60 square feet at 4 inches, and about 35 to 40 square feet at 6 inches. One cubic yard of gravel is roughly 1.4 tons, so you can calculate volume (area x depth) and convert to tons. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so small projects may require buying the minimum amount.
City and county rules can apply depending on your property location, floodplain status, and any homeowners association requirements. Morehead City and Carteret County may have stormwater, setback, or coastal construction requirements that affect driveway grading and drainage; check with the Morehead City Planning Department or Carteret County zoning before starting. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel or your local planning office for supplier referrals and guidance.
Salt air, frequent heavy rain, and occasional flooding in coastal Morehead City make drainage and stone angularity important. Use angular crushed stone that compacts well, consider a thicker base and geotextile fabric, and choose larger sizes or mixes for areas prone to washout. Expect more frequent top-ups after storms compared with inland locations.
Some Morehead City suppliers and independent contractors offer spreading services, but tailgate spreading by drivers is done at their discretion and not guaranteed. Standard Hello Gravel delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day options if ordered before noon CST and subject to availability; installation or spreading fees vary by supplier and local crews. Ask for spreading at checkout and we will relay your request, but final service and any extra charge are determined locally.
Homeowners in Morehead City should plan to regrade and address ruts after heavy rain or storms, typically once a year or more often after severe weather, and add fresh gravel every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and washout. Typical regrading by a local contractor can cost $100 to $500, while adding material is priced per ton (see local per-ton rates). Routine weed control and drainage upkeep will reduce long-term replacement costs.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and fastest installation, asphalt is mid-range, and pavers are the most expensive to install. Over time gravel requires more routine maintenance and periodic topping, while asphalt and pavers have higher installation costs but different long-term maintenance profiles; coastal exposure can shorten asphalt life without good drainage and may make gravel or properly installed pavers more practical for flood-prone spots. Choose based on budget, desired look, and site drainage conditions.
For waterfront or sloped sites in Morehead City, use larger angular stone such as 1 to 3 inch riprap for active shorelines, or a crushed stone mix with geotextile fabric and a graded stone toe for slopes. Stabilized gravel blends and mechanical erosion control (retaining walls, terraces, or vegetation) are often recommended along with county permitting for shoreline work. Consult a local engineer or coastal specialist before major erosion control work.
Morehead City soils are often sandy with a high water table, so a well-compacted crushed stone base, geotextile fabric, and proper drainage are critical to prevent settlement and washout. You may need a thicker base, subdrains, or a coarser aggregate layer in low-lying or frequently wet areas. Have the site evaluated before ordering so you order the right quantity and type of gravel for durable results.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
