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 Red Oak Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Red Oak is a small but active community of 528 residents positioned within a broader, 2.3+ million-person metro region that is growing at about 2.80% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates steady demand for practical landscape and site-work solutions. Homeowners and small contractors are tackling projects from driveway repairs and drainage improvements to patio bases and erosion control, so consistent access to quality aggregates matters. Gravel helps manage runoff, stabilize paths and driveways, and provide a durable base for outdoor structures, making it a common material choice for Red Oak projects that must withstand both wet spells and long sun exposure.Popular Projects in Red Oak This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Red Oak gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Red Oak.
Costs vary by gravel type and supplier, but expect material plus delivery to run roughly $30 to $70 per ton in the Red Oak area. A standard 2-car driveway (about 12 feet by 40 feet) usually needs 6 to 12 tons depending on depth; delivery fees depend on distance and haul conditions and may be free in many areas or range up to a couple hundred dollars. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can provide a precise quote for your zip code and preferred material.
For driveways, crushed stone or crush-and-run (crusher run) are the most durable because they compact well and shed water. Pea gravel and river rock are popular for walkways and decorative areas but can migrate and are harder to compact on clay soils common in the region.
Yes, gravel performs well if installed with a proper base and drainage; Red Oak has mildfreeze-thaw activity but local clay soils can hold water and cause settling. Use a compacted base (crushed stone or crusher run), slope for runoff, and consider geotextile fabric to help prevent mixing with native clay.
For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 12.5 tons of gravel; at 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 25 tons. We recommend ordering about 10% extra to account for compaction and trimming, so plan on roughly 14 tons and 28 tons respectively.
Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries and haulers that deliver to Red Oak; availability and exact services vary by supplier. Many local suppliers offer delivery via dump truck and some drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion—request placement options at checkout and confirm with our team for special placement needs.
Typical maintenance includes occasional grading after heavy rains, adding 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 3 to 5 years, and periodic filling of ruts or low spots. Homeowner costs are modest for small driveways (routine maintenance often under a few hundred dollars per year), while larger or heavily used drives may need professional grading more often.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and is easiest to install and repair, but needs periodic upkeep; asphalt costs more up front and provides a smoother, lower-maintenance surface for 15-25 years; concrete is the most expensive upfront and longest lasting but can crack if underlying clay soils are unstable. For rural Red Oak properties where cost and onsite disposal are factors, gravel is often the practical choice, while paved surfaces suit heavy traffic or long-term curb appeal goals.
Permit requirements vary by town and county; small residential driveways on private property often need no permit, but changes to road access, curb cuts, or driveways onto a state road may require permits from local authorities or NCDOT. Check with the Red Oak town office or Montgomery County planning department before starting work to confirm local rules.
Crushed gravel is generally better for drainage and compaction because the angular pieces lock together and allow water to pass while resisting movement. River rock looks decorative and allows water flow but can shift more and may need edging; crushed gravel typically costs less per ton than decorative river rock in the Red Oak area, though prices depend on type and distance from the source.
Yes — heavy rain seasons and winter weather can slow quarry operations and trucking, which may increase lead times or affect tailgate spreading. Ordering ahead for spring and fall projects is wise; Hello Gravel shows local availability for your zip code and can advise on the best delivery window and next-day options when available.
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.
