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.
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.

Why Old Fort Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Old Fort's population is 5,510, and the town sits within a growing regional area that includes a metro population of 2.3+ million. With a local growth rate of 2.80% annually and a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, and hardiness zone 8b—demand for practical, low-maintenance outdoor materials is steady. Homeowners here commonly tackle projects tied to growth and weather: driveways, drainage fixes, landscape beds, and erosion control. Because soils and water flow can vary across the area, residents look for reliable aggregates that perform consistently, resist rutting in wet periods, and simplify maintenance over time. Gravel is a natural fit for Old Fort's conditions: it improves surface drainage after routine rains, reduces mud in high-traffic areas, and holds up under strong sun without breaking down like organic mulches. For driveways and drainage trenches, locally sourced gravel reflects regional geology and provides the texture and color Old Fort homeowners expect. Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers and haulers, lets you schedule deliveries online, and coordinates truck-based dropoffs so you get the right material when you need it without the hassle of sourcing and logistics yourself.Popular Projects in Old Fort This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Old Fort gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Old Fort.
Delivered price for common driveway gravel near Old Fort, NC generally runs between about $30 and $55 per ton (roughly $42 to $77 per cubic yard), depending on material type and distance from local quarries. Mountainous West North Carolina freight and seasonal demand can push prices to the higher end; ask for a local quote for exact pricing.
For a 20x20 (400 sq ft) area you will need about 3.5 tons at 2" (approximately 2.5 cubic yards), 5.2 tons at 3" (about 3.7 cubic yards), and 6.9 tons at 4" (about 4.9 cubic yards). Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so the 2" option will generally meet that requirement but 3" or 4" gives better durability.
A tri-axle dump truck load (capacity varies but commonly 10 to 16 tons) to Old Fort typically costs between $400 and $1,000 including material and delivery, depending on material type, truck size, and driveway access. Ordering a full truckload often lowers the per-ton price compared with small orders; request a quote to see local truck-size pricing.
For a 1,000 sq ft area, material needs at typical 3" depth are roughly 13 tons; material cost at local rates ($30–$55/ton) would be about $390 to $715, plus delivery and basic spreading/compaction which can add $200 to $900 depending on labor and access. A short 20 ft driveway (typical 10 ft width) will be much less, but final install costs depend on prep work, grading, and whether you hire spreading/compaction services.
Generally no; in West North Carolina's frost/thaw environment and hilly terrain suppliers usually recommend at least 3" of compacted gravel for light residential use and 4" or more for regular vehicle traffic. Proper base preparation and compaction are as important as depth to avoid ruts and drainage problems.
Yes. Local suppliers and quarries near Old Fort often offer lower per-ton pricing for full truckloads and discounted rates for customer pick-up, since delivery and hauling add cost. Check availability and the Hello Gravel checkout options; the cheapest route is usually picking up a full truckload from a nearby quarry if you have the right vehicle and permits.
One ton of typical driveway gravel covers about 116 sq ft at 2" depth, about 77 sq ft at 3" depth, and about 58 sq ft at 4" depth. These numbers use a common conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard) and are good for quick planning—always round up for waste and compaction.
Some local suppliers and hauling crews in the Old Fort area may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but this is not guaranteed; dedicated spreading and compaction crews are usually a separate service. Paid spreading/compaction rates vary widely—expect anything from a small flat fee or hourly labor rates of roughly $50 to $150 per hour, or a project quote; always request the service at checkout and confirm pricing ahead of delivery.
Typical lead time for standard delivery is 2+ business days; Hello Gravel also offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal demand (spring and fall yardwork, wet winters) and local quarry schedules can affect availability and price, so plan ahead for large projects in the region around Old Fort (population 5,510).
For Old Fort driveways, angular crushed stone (such as 3/4" crushed stone, #411, or crusher run) is usually best because it compacts and locks together for stability and good drainage. Round river rock or pea gravel drains well but moves under traffic and requires edging; crushed stone costs a bit more up front but generally lasts longer and handles frost/thaw cycles better in mountain climates.
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.
