Why Polkton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Polkton (city population: 2,980) sits in a growing pocket of West North Carolina that benefits from steady development and a larger regional market (metro area population: 2.3+ million). With a growth rate of 2.80% annually and a moderate climate—228 sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain per year, in hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners see frequent small-scale construction, driveway upgrades, and landscape refresh projects. That steady demand means residents want dependable, locally sourced aggregates that handle both sun and rain, stabilize soil, and reduce maintenance. Gravel is a common go-to because it balances drainage, durability, and cost-effectiveness for patios, paths, driveways, and erosion control in Polkton’s environment. Gravel works well here because Polkton’s combination of sunny days and measurable seasonal rain creates the need for materials that shed water yet resist displacement. Right-sized crushed gravel promotes fast drainage to handle 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while helping prevent mud in compacted areas and supporting plant beds in zone 8b. Hello Gravel connects Polkton homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers, offers transparent pricing and scheduled dump-truck delivery, and makes it easy to choose the right gravel amount and delivery date—so your project gets the right material without the logistics headache.Popular Projects in Polkton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Polkton gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Polkton.
Costs vary by material, truck distance, and quantity, but in West North Carolina crushed gravel commonly runs about $20 to $45 per ton (roughly $30 to $65 per cubic yard). Hello Gravel orders have a 3-ton minimum and delivery fees depend on supplier distance; many areas offer free standard delivery but remote spots may add a fuel or trip charge. For an accurate price, check your zip code on our site or request a quote—the final cost will include material, delivery, and any optional services.
For a durable Polkton driveway, crusher run (a mix of crushed stone and fines) is usually best because it compacts well and creates a stable surface. Pea gravel is decorative and comfortable underfoot but tends to migrate and is not ideal as a primary driveway surface. River rock looks nice for landscaping, but its rounded stones do not lock together and perform poorly under vehicle traffic.
A 12 x 40 foot area at 3 inches deep is about 4.4 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 6.2 tons using a common density estimate. Because of compaction and driveway shaping, we recommend ordering 10-20% extra, so plan for about 7 to 8 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so that fits within our standard ordering limits.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers near Polkton to provide bulk gravel delivery by dump truck. Delivery is available in most nearby areas—check your zip code on our site to see supplier options and delivery windows. You can choose delivery date at checkout and request notes like color preference or tailgate spreading, but spreading is at the driver’s discretion.
Gravel performs well in Polkton’s climate when properly installed with good drainage. In areas with soft soils or slopes, use geotextile fabric to limit mixing with subsoil and consider edging or curb restraints to prevent washout and stone migration. Also grade the driveway to shed water and plan routine maintenance after heavy storms.
Gravel is usually cheaper up front and easier to install or refresh yourself, which appeals to many Polkton homeowners, but it requires periodic grading and top-ups. Asphalt provides a smoother, lower-maintenance surface long term but has higher initial cost and typically needs a contractor. Choose gravel if you want lower initial cost and flexibility; choose asphalt if you prefer lower maintenance and a more permanent surface.
In West North Carolina, crushed stone or crushed gravel generally runs about $20 to $45 per ton, which typically translates to roughly $30 to $65 per cubic yard depending on material density. Local geology, material size, and haul distance all affect price, so these are approximate ranges. For a firm price, request a quote with your Polkton zip code on our site.
Most Polkton driveways need light top-ups or regrading every 1 to 3 years, with heavier maintenance after major storms or if the driveway sees heavy use. Plan to add a thin layer (1/2 to 1 inch) every couple of years and expect a larger refresh (several inches) every 5 to 10 years depending on traffic and drainage. Budget annually for small top-ups and for periodic larger deliveries when you re-profile or rebuild the surface.
Yes, decorative gravel like colored crushed stone or pea gravel works well for Polkton planting beds and paths, and it can be ordered in bulk through Hello Gravel. Because materials reflect local sourcing, color and texture can vary by supplier—add color or finish preferences in the Order Notes and check photos from local suppliers when available. Delivery minimums and truck type are the same, so plan quantities accordingly for even coverage.
Local Polkton contractors do install gravel driveways, offering services like grading, fabric installation, compaction, and edging. Hiring a contractor adds labor and equipment costs on top of the material price—that can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on scope, while DIY with Hello Gravel covers just material and delivery. For budgeting, get multiple local quotes and compare them to the material-only cost provided in our online estimate.
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.
