Gravel in Naples, NC

For a backyard patio in Naples, crushed stone or crushed pea mix (3/8" to 3/4") over a compacted base gives good stability and compaction for furniture and foot traffic. For driveways, a 3/4" crushed stone (angular) with a compacted base is most common because it locks together and handles vehicle loads and the rainy foothills climate of Henderson County. Decorative pea gravel looks nice but shifts more, so plan for edging and a solid base if you want low maintenance.

Costs vary with material choice, delivery, and labor, but a typical 20x20 patio using about 3" of gravel usually needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards (about 5.2 tons). As a rough example, expect material + delivery to run from a few hundred dollars and installation labor to add several hundred more depending on prep and edging; contact Hello Gravel for a local quote to see exact pricing for your zip code. We connect you with local suppliers and contractors who can provide firm estimates based on site access and local rates.

You can put gravel directly on dirt for a temporary surface, but for long-term stability in Naples' wet climate you should use a compacted crushed-stone base, a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with soil, and solid edging to hold the material. Edging prevents spreading and helps maintain a clean look, while a base and fabric reduce rutting and weed growth. For driveways and high-traffic patios, a proper base and compaction are strongly recommended.

Hello Gravel works with regional suppliers and haulers that serve Henderson County and small towns like Naples; availability depends on your zip code and supplier routing. The platform-wide minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers follow that or slightly higher minimums; delivery fees vary by distance and truck type. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which local partners serve your address and for exact minimums and any delivery charges.

For a 20x20 (400 sq ft) patio, typical surface depths are 2" (low use), 3" (standard), or 4" (heavier use). Those volumes equal about: 2" = 2.47 cubic yards (≈3.5 tons), 3" = 3.70 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons), 4" = 4.94 cubic yards (≈6.9 tons). If you are installing a base course (recommended for durability), add the base volume (commonly 4"–6") on top of the surface amounts when ordering.

Prices depend on local supply, color, and whether the material is decorative; generally, common pea gravel and basic crushed stone are similar in price, while specialty decorative gravels (color-treated, washed, or rare types) cost more. Delivered per-ton or per-cubic-yard rates in the region can vary, so the best way to compare is to request delivered quotes through Hello Gravel for your address. Keep in mind that heavier or bulkier materials and small-lot deliveries to rural Naples may increase per-ton costs.

Yes, many local landscapers and contractors around Henderson County offer full packages that include site prep, base installation, edging, fabric, spreading, and compaction. You can request installation quotes through Hello Gravel when placing an order or by asking our team to connect you with recommended contractors in your area. Provide project details and photos to get accurate quotes and to confirm whether the supplier or a contractor will handle spreading and compaction.

Permit requirements vary by property, and small backyard patios often do not require county permits, but driveways or changes to impervious surfaces may. Homeowners in Naples should check with Henderson County Planning and their HOA (if applicable) before starting work to confirm any setback, drainage, or design rules. Suppliers and Hello Gravel can help with product selection but generally do not handle permits or HOA approvals for you.

Open-graded, angular gravels like 3/4" crushed stone or larger crushed rock provide excellent drainage and are lower maintenance because they interlock and shed water well in West NC's rainy conditions. Pea gravel drains well but shifts and needs edging and occasional raking; fines-containing mixes compact better but can reduce permeability. Many local suppliers can provide small samples or photos—ask for samples or order a small bag through Hello Gravel to check color and texture before buying in bulk.

Some local suppliers and many contractors offer added services such as site prep, mechanical compaction, and edging, but availability varies by hauler and whether you hire a landscaper. Tailgate spreading by drivers is sometimes offered at their discretion with no guarantee; full compaction and professional edging are usually contractor services and may be billed separately. Typical extra costs depend on scope—expect modest jobs like tailgate spreading or minor compaction to run a couple hundred dollars, while full site prep and edging can range higher; request detailed quotes through Hello Gravel for accurate pricing.
