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.
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.

Why Richlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richlands is a growing community with a city population of 17,320 and solid ties to the surrounding region. With a local growth rate of 2.80% annually and a metro area population of 2.3+ million nearby, demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects is steady. The climate in Richlands—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—supports both outdoor living upgrades and practical drainage work. Homeowners here commonly look for reliable aggregates to build driveways, improve yard drainage, and create low-maintenance paths. Because projects must stand up to seasonal rain and frequent sun exposure, many residents choose gravel for its durability, permeability, and ease of installation. Gravel is especially well suited to Richlands' mix of sun and rain. Its permeability helps manage runoff during the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, while angular crushed varieties compact well for driveways and resist displacement on slopes. For patios and garden paths, gravel reduces puddling and stays cooler under 228 sunny days per year than some darker surfaces. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate gravel, offers clear pricing, schedules delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day before noon CST by request), and handles logistics so you get the right material where and when you need it.Popular Projects in Richlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richlands gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Richlands.
A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 tons of gravel. Price depends on type (pea gravel, crushed stone, crusher run) and delivery distance; in North Carolina you can expect roughly $30 to $80 per ton, so a full truckload often falls in the $300 to $1,000 range. For an exact price and availability near Richlands (zip code check), get a quote through Hello Gravel.
Coverage depends on depth. At 2 inches deep, 1,000 sq ft needs about 6 to 7 cubic yards (roughly 8.5 to 9.5 tons); at 3 inches it needs about 9 to 10 cubic yards (about 12 to 14 tons). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a quote to get a precise tonnage and price for local materials.
Costs depend on driveway width and depth. A 20 ft by 10 ft strip (200 sq ft) at 3 inches deep needs roughly 1.8 cubic yards (about 2.5 to 3.5 tons), which usually runs from about $75 to $300 depending on material and delivery. For accurate pricing on the specific gravel types available near Richlands, request a quote from Hello Gravel.
For most driveways, 2 inches is too thin. Driveways typically need 3 to 6 inches of compacted gravel (with a compacted base) to handle vehicle weight and local rain. In Richlands’ humid climate, plan for better compaction and drainage by using a thicker base and appropriate crushed stone.
Buying in bulk and choosing locally sourced, common materials (like crusher run or recycled base) keeps costs down. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices, schedule delivery to avoid extra fees, and consider pick-up if you have a vehicle that can haul the load. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees vary by location.
Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of gravel covers about 200 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 100 sq ft at 2 inches, and roughly 65 to 70 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these estimates to calculate needs, then confirm tonnage with Hello Gravel for the exact local material density.
A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. At a typical 3-inch depth you need about 3.7 cubic yards (around 5 tons), and material plus delivery typically ranges from roughly $150 to $500 depending on gravel type and local rates. For a precise quote and available material options near Richlands, check your zip code on Hello Gravel.
For driveways in the Richlands area, a compactable crushed stone (3/4" crushed stone or crusher run) makes a good base because it locks together and drains well. Top layers can be smaller crushed stone or decorative gravel depending on appearance and use. Choose materials with good angularity and fines for compaction in the local humid climate; Hello Gravel can show local options.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you to suppliers statewide, including the Charlotte area, for both gravel and dirt deliveries. Enter your zip code to see local suppliers, material types, and delivery options, or contact our team for help choosing the right aggregate for your project.
Yes. Richlands (population about 17,320) sits in coastal plain geology, so locally sourced gravel may be sandier and lighter in color than mountain stone. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary by supplier; you can request color preferences in Order Notes and we’ll connect you with nearby options that reflect local geology.
Most homeowners in small towns like Richlands can store delivered gravel on private property, but plan placement to keep it off sidewalks and public right-of-ways. Choose a stable, level area away from storm drains and protect lawn or drive surfaces if needed; if you have concerns about overnight security or local rules, check with town ordinances or your homeowners association.
Don’t overdo gravel in planting soil: adding small amounts of coarse grit or sand (about 10% to 30% maximum for specific drainage needs) can help drainage, but large volumes of gravel will actually reduce root access to moisture and nutrients. For raised beds in Richlands’ humid climate, focus on well-draining topsoil plus organic matter and use gravel mainly for paths or base layers, not as a bulk soil amendment.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but a rough range in our service area is $30 to $80 per ton, and roughly $40 to $120 per cubic yard depending on material. For exact local pricing, availability, and delivery timing in Richlands, request a quote or check your zip code on Hello Gravel.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
