Gravel: Superior Drainage For Oak Ridge • Next-Day Gravel Delivery In Oak Ridge
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 Oak Ridge Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oak Ridge homeowners (city population 9,130) are seeing steady local demand for durable landscaping and site-work materials as the region grows. With a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually and a broader metro area serving 2.3+ million residents, new builds, yard remodels, and small commercial projects are common. Oak Ridge’s climate—about 228 sunny days per year, roughly 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—means yards need materials that handle both sun and seasonal rain. Homeowners look for aggregates that control erosion, provide reliable drainage, and create low-maintenance surfaces for driveways, patios, and walkways. Local geology and material availability will affect texture and color, so choosing the right gravel type matters for performance and appearance. Gravel is an excellent match for Oak Ridge conditions: its permeability helps manage the area’s 34.00 inches annual rainfall, reducing surface runoff and protecting slopes from erosion, while its heat-resistant, open-structure surface performs well across 228 sunny days per year. For driveways, French drains, and garden pathways, crushed or washed gravel provides stability and drainage without trapping heat or holding excessive moisture. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers to source regionally appropriate gravel, schedule delivery, and provide clear pricing and guidance—standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, with next-day options for qualifying orders.Popular Projects in Oak Ridge This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oak Ridge gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oak Ridge.
Delivered gravel prices in Oak Ridge normally vary by type and supplier. Expect rough ranges of about $30-$45 per ton for common crushed stone (#57), $25-$40 per ton for pea gravel, and $35-$60 per ton for decorative or river rock. Final price depends on delivery distance, truck size, and whether spreading is requested—get a local quote for an exact price.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West North Carolina suppliers and regional quarries that serve Oak Ridge. Our minimum order is 3 tons, many local suppliers include delivery for no extra fee or a modest charge; remote drops or special requests can add $25-$75 or more. Contact us with your zip code and project details to see which suppliers deliver and to get a tailored quote.
For clay-heavy soils and slopes, angular crushed stone (like 3/4" crushed or #57) with a compacted base performs best because it locks together and sheds water. For steeper or high-traffic driveways, use a compacted crusher-run base (with fines) under a coarser top layer, and consider geotextile fabric or edge restraints to reduce rutting and migration. Adding a drainage trench or larger drainage stone at the low side helps control runoff on steep sites.
Rules vary by property: some town regulations or neighborhood HOAs in the West North Carolina area have standards for driveway material, width, or curb cuts. Before ordering, check Oak Ridge town planning or your HOA guidelines for permits, driveway standards, or setback rules. If you need help interpreting requirements, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.
A durable 2-car driveway in Oak Ridge usually has a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crusher-run or crushed stone plus a 2-3 inch wearing layer of top gravel, for a total of about 6-9 inches. For a typical 20 ft by 40 ft two-car driveway (800 sq ft), expect roughly 18-30 tons depending on chosen depth and material density. Use our material calculator or contact us with dimensions to get a precise tonnage estimate for your site.
Gravel is more permeable than asphalt or pavers, so it helps reduce surface runoff and supports natural drainage on most Oak Ridge sites. Gravel has lower upfront cost but usually requires more regular maintenance (periodic regrading, topping up, and erosion repair), especially in areas with heavy rain or steep slopes. Asphalt and pavers are lower-maintenance for high-traffic driveways but cost more initially and reduce on-site infiltration.
Oak Ridge’s rainfall, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, clay-rich subsoils, tree cover, and steep terrain all raise maintenance needs. Heavy rain and runoff can cause washboarding and ruts, clay soils hold water and lead to puddling, and roots or leaf buildup can trap moisture. Plan for occasional regrading and topping, and address drainage or subgrade issues early to reduce long-term upkeep.
Yes—many Oak Ridge contractors offer stabilization methods like geotextile fabric, gravel grid systems, and polymer or resin stabilizers. These add upfront cost but improve load distribution, reduce migration, and lower maintenance frequency; depending on the product, stabilization can extend lifespan substantially. Ask contractors for local references and a cost-versus-longevity estimate for your driveway conditions.
Start by checking availability with your zip code and using our material calculator to estimate tonnage.

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.
