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 Mount Airy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Airy has a city population of 29,756 and sits within the broader West North Carolina region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually, demand for home improvements and residential infrastructure is rising as homeowners update driveways, install drainage, and expand outdoor living spaces. The local climate—annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days/year, and hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions that make drainage and erosion control priorities. Gravel is often chosen because it provides reliable permeability where soils tend to hold moisture, creates stable surfaces for vehicles and foot traffic, and offers an affordable, low-maintenance option that complements Mount Airy’s varied topography and landscaping needs.Popular Projects in Mount Airy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Airy gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mount Airy.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 tons of gravel. Delivered cost depends on the per-ton price for your material and any delivery fee; using a common local range of $35-$75 per ton, a full truckload could run roughly $350-$900. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and exact pricing depends on your zip code and material selection, so get a quote for a precise number.
Using common coverage rules (1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at 2" depth), a 400 sq ft area requires about 4 tons at 2", 6 tons at 3", or 8 tons at 4". At an estimated delivered price of $35-$75 per ton, expect material costs roughly $140-$600 before any spreading or compacting fees. For an exact quote, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel so suppliers in the Mount Airy area can price the job.
For 1,000 sq ft you would need about 10 tons at 2" depth, 15 tons at 3", or 20 tons at 4". At an estimated delivered price of $35-$75 per ton, material costs would range roughly $350-$1,500 depending on depth and material type. Contact Hello Gravel for a location-specific quote since local availability and delivery change the final price.
Two inches is generally too shallow for a driveway and will rut and migrate under regular vehicle use. For light residential parking we recommend at least 3-4 inches of compacted gravel; for regular traffic, trucks, or poor subgrade you should use 4-6 inches or build a compacted base layer first. Good drainage and compaction are especially important in Mount Airy’s seasonal conditions to keep the surface stable.
As a simple rule of thumb: at 1" depth one ton covers about 200 sq ft, at 2" about 100 sq ft, at 3" about 67 sq ft, and at 4" about 50 sq ft. Actual coverage depends on the gravel type and how much it compacts, so these figures are estimates to help plan orders. For exact calculations use your chosen depth and multiply area by depth, then consult Hello Gravel’s material calculator.
For most homeowners and contractors in Mount Airy, bulk delivery through a service like Hello Gravel is the most convenient and often cost-effective option once you factor in truck rental, time, and fuel. Picking up small loads can save money if you have a suitable vehicle and time, while buying direct from a local quarry sometimes offers lower unit prices but may not include delivery. Compare per-ton price plus delivery and handling, and get multiple quotes to decide which is cheapest for your project.
Some local quarries around Mount Airy sell directly to the public, but policies, material stocks, and delivery options vary by quarry. Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers and can arrange delivery to most Mount Airy addresses, which often simplifies scheduling and ensures truck-based delivery. If you prefer a specific quarry, contact them directly to confirm sales and delivery, or ask Hello Gravel to check supplier options in your area.
Crushed stone with fines (for example 3/4" crushed stone or #57 topped with screenings) is a common, durable choice for Mount Airy driveways because it compacts well and sheds water. Decorative stones like pea gravel or colored river rock cost more and may require edging and more maintenance; crushed stone is typically the most cost-effective for long-term durability. Regional availability influences price, so local materials may be less expensive than specialty imports.
Delivery is free in many Hello Gravel areas but can incur a fee if the supplier or route requires it; spreading and compacting prices vary by contractor and job size. Expect professional spreading and compaction to add anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to several hundred dollars on typical residential projects, or roughly $0.50-$2.50 per sq ft depending on access, slope, and equipment needed. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but it is at the driver’s discretion and not guaranteed, so get contractor quotes for full-install pricing.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which applies in most Mount Airy deliveries; some local suppliers may set their own minimums. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is sometimes possible depending on local truck availability, so contact Hello Gravel customer service to check options for your zip code.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
