Gravel: Coastal Drainage For Sandy Soils • Fast Gravel Delivery To Your Site
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 Ocean Isle Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ocean Isle Beach has a city population of 9,130 and is part of a larger metro with a population of 2.3+ million, growing at about 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sunny, coastal conditions and periodic heavy rain. That combination, along with steady regional development, drives consistent homeowner demand for aggregates that stabilize sandy soils, improve drainage, and provide low-maintenance surfaces. Homeowners seek quality gravel to prevent erosion, form reliable driveway bases, and create permeable paths and patios that stand up to salt, sun, and shifting sand.Popular Projects in Ocean Isle Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ocean Isle Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ocean Isle Beach.
Delivered gravel for a small residential driveway in Ocean Isle Beach typically runs in the range of $40 to $80 per ton for material, plus a delivery fee which can vary by supplier and distance. For a typical 20x40 ft driveway you might expect a total cost including delivery of roughly $400 to $1,200 depending on gravel type, depth, and whether spreading is requested. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and can provide a local quote and delivery window for your zip code.
For coastal properties, angular crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed gravel) and larger, well-graded mixes are usually best because they lock together and resist movement from wind and vehicle traffic. Avoid very round pea gravel on driveways because it shifts more easily; pea rock can still be a good choice for decorative areas. Consider adding a geotextile fabric and edge restraints to improve stability in sandy coastal soils.
A good rule of thumb is to calculate tons from volume: for crushed gravel assume about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For a 20x40 ft driveway: 3 inches of gravel is about 10 to 11 tons, and 4 inches is about 13 to 14 tons. If you plan heavy vehicles or need extra settling resistance, order toward the higher end and account for compaction and future top-ups.
Hello Gravel serves Ocean Isle Beach through our network of local suppliers and haulers; availability and exact suppliers depend on your zip code. We coordinate delivery by contracted dump truck fleets, with a 3-ton minimum and standard lead time of 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Request a free quote on our site to see supplier options and current bulk pricing for your address.
The stone itself is not harmed by salt spray, but coastal storms, surge, and heavy wind can wash or scatter gravel, especially on flat or poorly drained sites. Using heavier, angular crushed stone, proper compaction, geotextile fabric, and raised grading will improve resistance to washout, but extreme storm surge can still displace material. For properties in flood or high-surge zones, consider extra anchoring measures and consult local building officials about elevation and drainage requirements.
Permit and HOA rules vary across Ocean Isle Beach neighborhoods, so you should check with the town planning department and your HOA before installing a driveway. Some HOAs have strict rules about surface material, color, and curb appearance, while certain coastal zones may require permits for changes to grade or drainage. Contact your HOA and the town to confirm requirements before ordering material.
Most coastal gravel driveways need a light top-up every 1 to 3 years under normal use, and more often after heavy storms or frequent traffic. Typical maintenance is adding 1/2 to 1 inch of new gravel annually, which for a small driveway is usually a few tons and can cost roughly $50 to $200 including delivery depending on material and quantity. Regular grading, occasional compaction, and edge maintenance will extend the service life and reduce how often you need full replacement.
Gravel is the most affordable upfront option and offers excellent drainage, which is useful in coastal settings, but it requires ongoing maintenance and can be vulnerable to storm washout. Asphalt gives a smooth, low-maintenance surface and lasts longer but is less permeable and usually costs more up front; pavers offer high durability and curb appeal but come with the highest initial cost and may be subject to HOA design rules. Consider budget, desired look, drainage needs, and local flood or HOA restrictions when choosing; Hello Gravel can provide cost comparisons for your address.
Install a compacted base of larger stone or crushed rock and use a stable angular top layer to help lock the surface in place over sandy soils. Lay geotextile fabric to limit mixing with underlying sand, add edge restraints to keep material from spreading, and slope the driveway for good drainage away from structures. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to help, but note this service is provided at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.
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.
