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 Oriental Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oriental has a city population of 2,460 and sits in a region experiencing steady expansion, with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates a need for materials that manage moisture and resist erosion. As homeowners add or refresh driveways, patios, and drainage features to keep up with development and weather, they look for reliable aggregates that balance good drainage, durability, and a natural look. Gravel is a go-to choice because it performs well under varied weather while keeping installation and maintenance simple for DIYers and contractors alike. In Oriental’s mix of sun and rain, gravel helps stabilize pathways, promote fast drainage around foundations, and reduce mud on low-traffic driveways. Locally sourced gravel reflects the area’s geology and offers the angular texture needed for interlock and stormwater conveyance. Hello Gravel connects Oriental homeowners with vetted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, so you can choose the right gravel type, schedule delivery on your timeline, and get the material placed where you need it. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, and the minimum order is 3 tons.Popular Projects in Oriental This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oriental gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Oriental.
Material and delivery costs in Oriental vary with stone type, quantity, and supplier. Expect material prices roughly $20-$45 per ton for common gravels and delivery/haul fees from $50-$200 depending on distance and truck access; contractors ordering in bulk often get lower per-ton pricing. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and has a 3-ton minimum for most orders, so check your zip code for exact quotes.
For driveways and drainage near Oriental, use angular crushed stone (for example #57 or #3) for good compaction and drainage, and crusher-run or #2 stone for a stable base. Pea gravel is attractive but can shift and wash in stormy, coastal conditions, so use it only where you do not expect heavy vehicle traffic or washout. Washed, angular stone performs best for culverts, French drains, and base layers.
A common, resilient build is 4" of compacted crusher-run base plus 2" of top stone for a total of about 6". At 6" depth you need about 0.0259 tons per square foot (roughly 0.0185 cubic yards per square foot), so a 1-car driveway (10'x20' = 200 sq ft) needs about 5.2 tons and a 2-car driveway (20'x20' = 400 sq ft) needs about 10.4 tons. Always round up to allow for compaction and order minimums, and factor extra if the site needs grading or deeper fill.
In Oriental's humid, rainy coastal climate gravel can erode, rut, and grow weeds faster than in drier areas, especially on slopes or low spots with poor drainage. Prevent problems with a compacted base, proper crowning, edge restraints, geotextile fabric, and regular regrading; expect to regrade after major storms and add fresh gravel (1/2" to 1") every 1-3 years depending on traffic. Weed growth and algae are common—periodic herbicide or mechanical removal helps keep the surface usable.
Costs depend on site prep and contractor rates, but expect a wide range: a DIY material-only install for a 1-car driveway might run $300-$800, while professional installation including grading, base, and compaction often falls between $1,000-$3,000 for a small driveway. A 2-car driveway with more prep or poor soils can push $2,000-$6,000. Get local written quotes because floodplain, steep grades, or poor soils will increase costs.
Rules vary by property: the Town of Oriental, Pamlico County, and neighborhood HOAs can have different standards for driveway materials, impervious surface limits, and curb cuts. Before you order gravel, check with Pamlico County planning and the Town of Oriental zoning office and review any HOA covenants to confirm allowed materials and permitting requirements. If your property is in a flood zone or near a shoreline, additional stormwater or erosion controls may be required.
Gravel can be a good, cost-effective option if you build a thick, well-compacted base on top of geotextile fabric—especially for drainage-prone coastal soils. For heavy loads like RVs, use a deeper base (6"-8" or more) of coarse crushed stone and consider stabilized gravel products or pavers if you want very low maintenance. Asphalt or pavers provide a firmer, low-maintenance surface but cost more and can increase runoff, so balance budget and drainage needs.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers that serve the Oriental area, often sourcing from regional yards in nearby towns like New Bern, Washington, or Morehead City. Typical minimum order through Hello Gravel is 3 tons, and many suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks for delivery; small orders under the minimum may be possible for a fee, so check your zip code for exact availability and pricing. We coordinate delivery scheduling and provide clear pricing so you know haul costs up front.
Plan to check and perform basic maintenance 1-2 times per year, and regrade after heavy storms; adding 1/2" to 1" of fresh gravel every 1-3 years is common in coastal North Carolina. Typical maintenance costs vary by size: a small regrade and fresh gravel top-up might be $50-$200 for material plus $50-$300 for hire if you contract it out, while larger properties will cost more. Regular simple tasks like filling ruts and clearing drainage channels will reduce the need for costly repairs.
For shoreline landscaping use larger, angular stone and coarse grades (for example #1, #57, or even larger decorative rock or riprap) placed over geotextile fabric to resist washout. Avoid fine, rounded pea gravel in high-energy shoreline spots because it will wash away in storms; instead use heavier stone or engineered erosion-control rock. Most natural aggregates tolerate salt exposure, but avoid very soft calcareous rock if long-term durability is a concern.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
