Why New Bern Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Bern has a population of 63,719 and is part of a broader metro area totaling 2.3+ million residents. A steady annual growth rate of 2.80% points to consistent, predictable demand for renovations, yard upgrades, and smaller construction projects rather than sudden booms — meaning homeowners will commonly need reliable deliveries of bulk materials for ongoing maintenance and incremental improvements. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall, properties experience enough sun exposure and intermittent wet periods to create both drying and runoff concerns. That combination makes access to a range of aggregates—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—important for drainage systems, erosion control, planting beds, and base layers for hardscapes. Because regional sourcing influences texture and color, choosing locally appropriate materials helps ensure long-term performance in New Bern's climate and soils, which align with hardiness zone 8b conditions.Popular Projects in New Bern This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Bern Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Bern.
Homeowners in New Bern often buy bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, raised beds, drainage projects, and general grading. These materials are versatile and used across many project types, from resurfacing a driveway to building garden pathways. Choose materials based on function (drainage, compaction, appearance) rather than just looks.
Start with the project's purpose: drainage, compaction, walkability, or aesthetics. Consider local climate and site conditions in New Bern—materials that drain well are smart in coastal, flood-prone areas. Use our material quiz or contact our team to match material properties to your needs.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local dump trucks (often tri-axle), and you choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but expect no guarantee.
Prices vary by material, distance, and supplier, but deliveries in the New Bern area are usually priced per ton or per cubic yard with a minimum order requirement (Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons). Local delivery fees and minimum service charges commonly apply, and next-day delivery or long-haul drops may incur extra fees. Use the cart and checkout to see transparent pricing for your exact zip code.
New Bern’s coastal climate and occasional flooding mean materials that drain well and resist washout should be prioritized. For areas prone to standing water or erosion, choose materials and installation methods that improve runoff control and avoid fine materials that can wash away. Expect more frequent inspection and occasional top-ups after major storms.
Many suppliers in the region offer recycled and reclaimed options alongside natural aggregates, and availability varies by season and local sourcing. Recycled materials can be cost-competitive and are a good choice for driveways, base layers, or erosion control, though appearance and grading may differ from virgin materials. Check the product notes at checkout for regional availability and relative pricing.
Labor costs depend on the scope of work, site access, and local contractor rates; simple delivery-only jobs are lower than full installation, which includes grading, compaction, and edging. For planning, get multiple local quotes and factor in equipment, site prep, and disposal if needed. Hello Gravel can deliver the materials so you can compare material-plus-labor estimates easily.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by neighborhood and project type in New Bern. Small landscaping changes often need no city permit, but driveway changes, regrading, or work in flood zones or historic districts may require approvals. Check local city or county building departments and your HOA before ordering materials to avoid delays.
Spring through fall generally offers the best window for deliveries and installations, with drier conditions making placement and compaction easier. Avoid scheduling major installs during peak hurricane season or prolonged rainy periods, as wet ground can delay work and increase erosion risk. Plan ahead for summer storms and allow buffer days around forecasted heavy rain.
Common practices include creating gentle slopes away from structures, installing proper base layers, using permeable or well-draining aggregates, and adding intermittent drainage features such as French drains or swales. Anchoring materials with edging and using geotextile fabric under high-traffic areas can reduce migration and washout. Tailor the approach to your lot's slope, soil type, and flood risk.
Maintenance frequency depends on material and use: high-traffic driveways may need periodic top-ups every 2-5 years, while decorative areas can last longer with occasional refreshing. Storm events and coastal conditions can accelerate settling and washout, so inspect after heavy rains and storms. Regular minor maintenance—raking, topping, and correcting drainage—keeps surfaces performing longer.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet ÷ 27) or tons using material-specific conversion factors, and then add a contingency (commonly 5-10%) for compaction and waste. Hello Gravel's material calculator can do these conversions for you and help you pick the right amount before checkout. If you're unsure, contact our team with dimensions for a quick estimate.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
