Why Rex Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rex, population 231, sits within a broader metro area of 2.3+ million and is influenced by a steady 2.80% annual growth rate. That steady expansion translates into ongoing demand for both new construction and landscaping updates—everything from driveway and patio foundations to garden beds and erosion control. With 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that balance drainage and moisture retention: base aggregates and well-graded fill for stable foundations, loose soils and compost for planting areas, and durable surfacing materials that stand up to sun and occasional heavy rain. Homeowners in Rex are increasingly looking for reliable bulk supplies in predictable quantities so projects finish on time and perform over seasons. Local climate and topography in and around Rex create a few consistent demands: materials must manage seasonal runoff, resist surface degradation from sun exposure, and compact predictably where vehicles or structures are placed. That means paying attention to particle size, cleanliness, and drainage performance when choosing any bulk material—whether you need fill, screening, sand, mulch, or stone. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate those trade-offs by connecting them with local suppliers, providing straightforward quantity calculators, and scheduling delivery windows so the right material arrives when the ground and weather are best suited for installation.Popular Projects in Rex This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rex Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rex.
Most suppliers serving Rex require a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days. Delivery fees vary by distance, truck type, and site access; some areas may qualify for free delivery. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, but exact timing depends on local supplier schedules.
Choose materials based on function: look for drainage and compaction needs rather than brand names. For driveways and high-traffic areas pick well-graded aggregates that compact; for planting beds choose materials that support root growth and drainage. Local climate in West North Carolina means you should consider how freeze-thaw cycles and rain will affect settling and drainage when selecting materials.
Rex sees seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw that can slow work and affect material performance. Plan heavy deliveries during drier months and avoid spreading fines or top layers right before prolonged rain. If you need quick turnaround, schedule deliveries with the 2+ business day standard or request next-day service when available.
Yes. Expect narrow rural roads, low-clearance obstacles, and occasional weight or truck restrictions on neighborhood streets around Rex. Provide clear access instructions at checkout, mark tight turns or gates, and confirm whether a tri-axle dump truck can reach the drop zone. If access is limited, smaller trucks or offloading in a nearby accessible spot may be arranged with the supplier.
Permit needs vary by municipality and project scope; most simple residential deliveries do not require a permit. Large commercial deliveries, work that blocks public roads, or placing material on public right-of-way may need local permits or notifications. Check with Harnett County or the town where your property sits for specific rules and mention any planned road blocking when scheduling delivery.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the required depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using our material calculator or standard conversion charts. For example, multiply area (sq ft) by depth (in) and divide by 324 to get cubic yards, then round up for waste and compaction. When in doubt, use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for guidance.
Rex and the surrounding West North Carolina area commonly have varied soils, including clay-rich patches and sandy loam, which influence drainage and compaction. Sloping sites need materials that resist erosion and support proper runoff control, while flat, poorly drained spots may need added drainage layers. Expect to adapt your material choice to local soil conditions and consider geotextile or base layers for unstable ground.
Use a compactible base layer and well-graded aggregates that lock together for driveways and slopes to resist rutting and erosion. Proper grading and drainage channels are essential to move water away from the surface, and a thicker base is recommended for higher traffic. Install in dry conditions when possible and compact in lifts to improve performance in Rex’s climate.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and local source, but a broad range is about $20 to $80 per ton or $30 to $100 per cubic yard depending on whether you order sand, gravel, dirt, or specialty stone. Regional sourcing, delivery distance, and seasonality can push prices up or down, so get a local quote for the most accurate number. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and local quotes through the website.
Yes. Common issues include homeowner association rules on visible stockpiles, narrow driveways that block truck access, and timing conflicts during busy seasons. Note HOA restrictions in Order Notes, measure access clearance, and choose a delivery date that allows time for on-site spreading or storage. Contact our team early if you need assistance planning around these limits.
Many small residential projects in the Rex area are single delivery jobs ranging from 3 to 30 tons for garden beds, pathways, or small driveways, while larger driveway or bulk landscape jobs often exceed 30 tons. Budgets vary widely by material and scope; expect modest landscaping patches to cost a few hundred dollars in materials and larger driveway projects to run into the low thousands. Use the material calculator and get a quote to refine costs for your specific project.
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.
