Why Newell Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Newell has a population of 280 and sits inside the growing West North Carolina region, where the metro area population is 2.3+ million and the area posts a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate is moderate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and hardiness zone 8b—which means homeowners face both wet seasons and long, sunny stretches. As residences and small developments expand, demand for quality aggregates rises: homeowners reach for materials that manage water, prevent erosion, and create low-maintenance surfaces. Local geology also affects gravel color and texture, so regionally sourced material tends to match site conditions and perform better over time.Popular Projects in Newell This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Newell gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Newell.
In Newell and West North Carolina, delivered gravel usually runs roughly $35 to $70 per ton depending on the type (pea, #57, crusher run), distance from the quarry, and supplier. Specialty colored stone or small orders can cost more, and next-day delivery or difficult access may add fees. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact local pricing and any available free-delivery options.
Common choices are crusher run (angular stone plus fines), #57 stone (clean, 3/4" rock), and pea gravel (rounded small stones). Crusher run compacts well and resists movement but can retain water in fines; #57 drains well and is stable but can shift without edging; pea gravel looks attractive but moves easily and needs edging and a firm base. For Newell's hilly, wet conditions, crushed angular stone with a compacted base is often the best balance of stability and drainage.
Newell's humid, mountainous setting means frequent rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles that can cause rutting, washouts, and frost heave if drainage and compaction are poor. Steeper grades increase erosion risk, so good surface drainage, crowned profiles, and edge restraints are important. Use angular, well-graded stone and proper base depth to improve compaction and reduce movement in this environment.
Gravel density varies, but a practical rule for Newell is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material. To estimate needs, calculate length x width x depth (in feet) / 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.4 tons per cubic yard for a middle estimate. For example, a 12' x 30' driveway at 4" depth is 12 x 30 x 0.333 / 27 ≈ 4.44 cubic yards, roughly 6 to 7 tons.
In the Newell area, installed gravel driveways commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on excavation, site access, and drainage needs. Typical line items include grading/excavation, geotextile fabric, base stone, top dressing stone, compaction, edging, and drainage structures like ditches or culverts. Ask contractors for an itemized quote and compare to material-only delivery from Hello Gravel if you plan to DIY.
With regular maintenance—annual grading, occasional addition of 1 to 2 inches of new stone, and repairing washed areas—gravel driveways in Newell can function well for 10 to 20 years. In steeper, wetter spots you may need more frequent touch-ups after heavy rains or winter thaw. Proper initial base and drainage extend lifespan and reduce ongoing repair needs.
For steep slopes near Newell, combine surface water controls (swales, crowned profiles, and diversion ditches) with structural measures like retaining walls, check dams, and riprap at concentrated flow points. Use geotextile under the gravel to prevent mixing with subsoil, and install edge restraints to keep material in place. Vegetation and slope terracing also reduce surface runoff and long-term erosion.
Gravel is usually the least expensive upfront option, roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot installed, while asphalt typically runs $2.50 to $5.00 and concrete $4.00 to $8.00 per square foot. Gravel requires more ongoing maintenance but handles freeze-thaw and drainage well on steep, rural lots; asphalt and concrete offer a smoother, longer-lasting surface but cost more and may require better drainage design. Consider budget, maintenance willingness, and local slope/drainage when choosing.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers near Newell and normally requires a minimum order of 3 tons per our national policy. Many areas have free delivery, but fees can apply for remote locations, short-haul minimums, tight access, or next-day delivery requests. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available materials, exact minimums, and any delivery charges for your address.
Regulations vary: Newell itself is a small community, but county, NCDOT (for driveways onto state roads), and HOAs may have rules on driveway material, appearance, and drainage. Before ordering gravel, check with your local county planning office or HOA covenants for restrictions, required permits, or apron specifications. If in doubt, Hello Gravel's team can help you find local guidance or point you to resources for Newell area rules.
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.
