Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.

Why Purlear Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Purlear is a small but growing community with a city population of 2,060, and it sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million people—a regional context that keeps local construction and landscaping activity steady. A 2.80% annually growth rate suggests persistent housing turnover and incremental development rather than boom-and-bust expansion; for homeowners that means steady demand for repairs, driveway upgrades, drainage fixes, and outdoor living projects. Purlear’s climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates practical needs for materials that manage moisture, resist erosion, and support plantings suited to a mild but variable season set. For homeowners and contractors, having reliable access to quality bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matters because local sourcing helps match material texture, drainage properties, and color to site conditions. Local soil types and seasonal weather patterns in Purlear affect how materials perform over time. Regular rainfall combined with warm, sunny periods means materials must balance drainage and stability: poorly graded fills can settle after heavy rains, and organic mulches will decompose faster under frequent sun and warmth. That interplay influences choices—from base materials under hardscapes to soil blends for planting beds—so homeowners should weigh longevity, drainage, and maintenance when ordering. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand these local conditions, offering quantity calculators, delivery scheduling, and straightforward guidance so you can choose materials that fit Purlear’s climate and your project goals.Popular Projects in Purlear This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Purlear Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Purlear.
Costs vary by material type, volume, distance from the supplier, and any special delivery requirements. Small residential orders often run from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars once materials and delivery are combined, but your actual price will depend on the quantity and access needs. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and can provide a clear quote for your zip code and project details.
Choose materials that lock together, drain well, and resist movement on slopes; look for well-graded, angular aggregates offered by local suppliers. In West North Carolina's terrain, stability and drainage are the priorities, so consider materials and installation methods that promote compaction, runoff control, and erosion resistance. Our team can help you match local material options to your slope and load needs.
Purlear's seasonality and freeze-thaw cycles can affect compaction, curing, and delivery access, so plan heavy earthwork for drier months and avoid major installs during prolonged wet or freezing periods. Material performance can change with moisture, so schedule deliveries and installation when ground conditions allow proper grading and compaction. If you have a tight timeline, ask about next-day delivery options and contractor availability.
Local haulers will assess access before delivery; common considerations include driveway width, overhead clearance, load-bearing capacity, and turnaround room for tri-axle dump trucks. Add access details in your order notes and confirm with our team—remote deliveries can require longer lead times and may incur additional fees. Drivers may refuse delivery if conditions are unsafe, so arranging a safe drop location in advance helps avoid delays.
Use volume-based estimates: 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, and many aggregates weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on type. Because regional materials vary, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a supplier-specific density to convert between cubic yards and tons accurately. Always add 5-10% extra for waste, compaction, and grading adjustments.
City, county, and HOA rules can restrict materials for visible surfaces, drainage, setbacks, and impervious area, so check local ordinances and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Purlear homeowners should verify any permit requirements or design standards for driveways and visible landscaping materials. When in doubt, contact our team for guidance and plan to provide local approvals before scheduling delivery.
Materials sourced regionally will react differently to freeze-thaw and heavy rain; good drainage, proper compaction, and appropriate base layers improve long-term performance. To reduce frost heave and washout, design adequate slope, install geotextile where needed, and choose aggregates that shed water rather than retain it. Our suppliers are familiar with local conditions and can recommend options that perform well in West North Carolina weather.
Material-only costs are often a portion of total installed cost; labor, grading, machinery, base preparation, and drainage features can represent a significant share of the total. As a rough guideline, materials may account for 30-60% of project costs depending on scope and whether heavy equipment or engineered base work is required. For an accurate breakdown, get separate material quotes and contractor estimates for installation.
Start by defining the project's purpose (driveway, drainage, decorative bed, or base material), expected loads, desired appearance, and budget. Use our material calculator and aggregate quiz to narrow options, then ask for local supplier samples and density info to confirm coverage and performance. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel’s sales team to match local material options to your project needs.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched but cannot be guaranteed. Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fees may apply). You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and there are no guarantees.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
