Why Ocracoke Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ocracoke has a city population of 827 and sits in a climate that shapes how homeowners manage yards, driveways, and shoreline projects. With an annual growth rate of 2.80%, more residents and seasonal visitors increase demand for reliable materials and durable surfaces. The area sees 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, placing it in hardiness zone 8b — a mix of sun, storms, and sandy soils. That combination makes good drainage and erosion resistance top priorities for local projects. Homeowners here often choose aggregates for driveways, coastal paths, French drains, and landscape beds because quality gravel helps shed water, reduce rutting after storms, and stabilize loose sand. Gravel is particularly well-suited to Ocracoke’s conditions: open-graded mixes and crushed stone provide fast drainage after heavy rain, while angular particles lock together to resist shifting on sandy lots. For patios and walkways, pea gravel or compactable crushed stone offers a balance of comfort and stability. Hello Gravel connects Ocracoke homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump truck delivery, making it easy to order the right gravel, schedule delivery, and add notes about placement or color preferences. Drivers may be able to offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; choose your delivery date at checkout and contact our team for guidance.Popular Projects in Ocracoke This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ocracoke gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ocracoke.
Costs vary with material type, season, and ferry logistics. Expect a rough range of $400 to $1,200+ for a standard dump-truck delivery to Ocracoke, with higher-end pricing for specialty gravels or when ferry transport and island surcharges apply. Final price depends on tons ordered, local supplier rates, and any extra handling or offloading needed; contact our team for an exact quote.
Use this quick guide: 2" depth = about 6.2 cubic yards, 3" depth = about 9.3 cubic yards, 4" depth = about 12.3 cubic yards. Multiply by your site conditions and factor in 5-10% extra for compaction and uneven ground. If you want tons, plan roughly 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the gravel type.
Yes. Deliveries to Ocracoke often involve ferry transport or routing through authorized barge services, which can add fees and scheduling constraints. Ferry bookings, weight limits, and seasonal schedules may add lead time or surcharges; we coordinate these details with suppliers and recommend contacting us early so we can confirm availability and any extra costs.
Prices vary by supplier and season, but typical coastal NC ranges are: road base $20 to $45 per ton, crushed stone $25 to $60 per ton, and pea gravel $30 to $70 per ton. On Ocracoke add island transport and handling costs which can push the delivered price higher. For an accurate local price, request a quote that includes delivery to your Ocracoke address.
Permit needs depend on property location, whether the driveway connects to a state road, and county or village rules. NC DOT rules can apply for driveways onto state-maintained roads, and Hyde County or village zoning may require permits or setbacks. Check with Hyde County planning or NC DOT and we can help you find local permit contacts before you order.
Labor and equipment costs range with scope and site access but a ballpark is $500 to $1,500 for spreading, grading, and compacting 1,000 sq ft. If an operator and small equipment (skid steer, plate compactor) are required, expect higher costs or daily equipment rental plus operator fees. Island access and ferry scheduling can increase labor logistics and cost, so get a site-specific estimate.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and many local suppliers mirror minimums or add small-load fees to cover handling and ferry costs. Some suppliers may offer smaller deliveries for an added charge, but that is less common on islands due to transport economics. Contact us with your zip code and project size and we will confirm available options and any small-load fees.
In Ocracoke’s coastal environment, exposure to storms, sand movement, and washout can shorten surface life; typical top-up intervals are every 2 to 5 years for driveways with regular use. High-traffic drives or locations exposed to tidal flooding may need more frequent maintenance. Proper base preparation, edging, and drainage will extend longevity and reduce how often you need to add material.
Yes. Summer demand, holiday weekends, and storm seasons can increase lead times and result in surcharges for island deliveries. Ferry schedules and weather can also cause delivery delays, so we recommend ordering earlier than mainland timelines and asking about peak-season surcharges when you get a quote. Next-day delivery is sometimes available if ordered before noon CST, subject to supplier and ferry availability.
Some suppliers and contractors can provide on-island estimates, but availability depends on their schedules and ferry access. Same-week site visits are possible at times, but we advise booking inspections early because ferry capacity and contractor availability on Ocracoke can limit fast turnarounds. You can also request an initial estimate through our online calculator and then schedule a site visit for a final quote.
Deliveries are normally made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) and drivers will assess safe drop-off spots on arrival; trucks may be subject to weight or size limits for ferry travel. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but expect no guarantees. Provide clear drop-off instructions and any gate or access details when you order so the driver and supplier can plan the safest delivery.
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.
