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 Roanoke Rapids Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Roanoke Rapids has a city population of 20,530 and sits within a growing regional market—the broader metro area is home to 2.3+ million people and is expanding at a 2.80% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners face a mix of sun and wet seasons that affect yards and driveways. That combination drives steady demand for dependable aggregates: new driveways, drainage upgrades, patio bases, and erosion control projects all need materials that shed water, resist rutting in clay soils, and compact reliably. Homeowners and contractors in Roanoke Rapids increasingly choose quality gravel to protect landscapes and extend the life of hardscape work.Popular Projects in Roanoke Rapids This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Roanoke Rapids gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Roanoke Rapids.
Delivered gravel in Roanoke Rapids typically ranges from about $30 to $75 per ton depending on material type, quality, and truck access. Installed gravel driveways commonly cost roughly $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot including basic delivery and spreading, but final price depends on depth, base prep, and site access. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise quote for your address.
For Roanoke Rapids' clay soils, an angular crushed stone (like 57 stone or 3/4" crushed) with a compacted base performs best because the edges lock together and shed water. We recommend a geotextile fabric under the base, 4" to 6" of compacted crushed stone, and a 1" to 2" topcoat for a stable surface that resists rutting. Local suppliers can suggest the best blend based on exact site conditions.
Yes—crushed stone drains much better than rounded gravel because its angular particles create voids for water to move through, which helps in Roanoke Rapids' frequent heavy showers. Proper grading, a compacted base, and edge restraints are still important to prevent washing and rutting. If you have concentrated runoff, add drainage features like swales or French drains.
A 20x30 shed pad is 600 sq ft. For a 4" depth you'll need about 7.4 cubic yards or roughly 10 to 11 tons; for a 6" depth expect about 11 to 16 tons. Order 5% to 10% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and slope; remember our minimum order is 3 tons and local delivery availability affects quantity planning.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers around Roanoke Rapids so you can order online and get local delivery scheduled to your property. Standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days; next-day is available in many areas if you order early, and same-day is possible only when local truck availability allows. Check your zip code on our site or contact our team to confirm same-day options for your address.
In Roanoke Rapids a well-built gravel driveway typically lasts 5 to 15 years before needing major rework, with regular maintenance extending its life. Expect to regrade, fill low spots, and add a top dressing every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather; keep drains clear and repair erosion after heavy storms. Seasonal checks in spring and after large rains help catch problems early.
Crushed gravel is usually better for patios and walkways because the angular particles compact and stay in place, creating a stable surface for furniture and foot traffic. Pea gravel is comfortable and decorative but tends to shift and may require edging and frequent raking, so it is best for low-traffic seating areas. For a firm, durable patio consider a compacted crushed stone base with a finer finish layer.
Average installed gravel driveways in Roanoke Rapids typically run about $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, including basic grading, delivery, and a standard depth of stone. Prices vary by material type, site prep needs, depth, and access; tight sites or heavy base prep will increase costs. Use our online calculator or request a quote for an accurate price for your project.
Gravel can work on hills and slopes in Roanoke Rapids, but stabilization is often necessary to prevent washout from heavy rains. Options include geotextile fabrics, geogrids or gravel stabilization grids, edging, and proper drainage or retaining walls to control flow. If the slope is steep or regularly trafficked, plan for additional stabilization to reduce maintenance and erosion.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is often the most budget-friendly option initially, but it requires more frequent maintenance like grading and top-ups. Asphalt costs more up front but typically requires less frequent routine maintenance and can last longer between major repairs. Long-term cost-effectiveness depends on your budget, expected traffic, and willingness to perform upkeep; contact our team for a side-by-side estimate for your Roanoke Rapids address.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
