Gravel: Rain-Ready Drainage And Erosion Control • Next-Day Gravel Delivery When AvaIlable
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 Roaring River Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Roaring River is a growing community with a city population of 2,828 experiencing steady development and a 2.80% annual growth rate. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun and wet-season conditions that drive demand for durable, well-draining materials. Builders and homeowners here are adding driveways, patios, garden beds, and drainage upgrades as new construction and retrofit projects expand. That steady development makes quality aggregates essential: homeowners choose reliable gravel to manage stormwater, stabilize paths and driveways, reduce mud in wet months, and provide a long-lasting base for pavers and hardscape features. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so selecting the right gravel blend is key to both function and curb appeal.Popular Projects in Roaring River This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Roaring River gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Roaring River.
Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days and minimum orders Start at 3 tons. Many Roaring River customers get free delivery, but remote or long-haul drops in West North Carolina can incur extra haul or fuel fees (commonly $50 to $250), and next-day delivery may be avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact fees depend on your zip code and site access, so check pricing at checkout or contact our team for a quote.
For driveways on foothill terrain, angular 3/4" crushed stone or a crusher-run blend provides the best stability because the pieces lock together. Pea gravel and rounded river rock are popular for patios and decorative areas, but they can shift on slopes; use them where traffic is light or over a stabilized base. Locally sourced materials reflect Appalachian geology, so expect color and texture variations.
West North Carolina gets periodic heavy rain that can wAsh loose gravel, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles can cause rutting and frost heave in poorly drained soils. Expect to grade and recompact driveways after major storms and to top up higher-traffic areas every 1 to 3 years, more often on steep slopes. Good drainage, swales, and a compacted base reduce maintenance frequency.
A 12x40 ft area is 480 sq ft. At 3" depth you need about 4.44 cubic yards, roughly 6.2 tons; at 6" depth about 8.89 cubic yards, roughly 12.4 tons (using 1.4 tons per cubic yard as a common estimate). We recommend rounding up and adding 10% to cover compaction and grading, and using our online calculator or contacting our sales team for a site-specific recommendation.
Some local haulers and suppliers will offer tailgate spreading or spreading crews, but services vary and are performed at the driver's or contractor's discretion. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with trusted local suppliers and can flag the order for spreading requests, but we cannot guarantee spreading services. If you need guaranteed installation, ask our sales team for providers who offer full-installation quotes in your area.
Yes, over clay or poorly draining soils common in the Roaring River area we recommend a compacted crushed stone base of 4 to 6 inches for driveways to prevent rutting and mixing of materials. Install a non-woven geotextile fabric (polypropylene) between the soil and base to limit migration and improve stability. PRoper compaction and drainage are critical for long-term performance.
Gravel has a lower upfront cost and is quick to install, making it attractive for rural Roaring River pRoperties, but it requires periodic top-ups, grading, and maintenance. Asphalt and concrete cost significantly more up front but usually need less frequent surface top-up; asphalt may need resurfacing every 10-20 years and concrete has higher installation costs but long service life. Decide based on traffic, budget, drainage, and desired appearance — we can help estimate material and delivery costs for each option.
Regulations vary: Surry County may have erosion-control or stormwater requirements for new driveways on steep slopes, and some HOAs restrict driveway material or appearance. Before ordering, check local county planning or zoning and review any HOA covenants to confirm permitted materials and erosion-control measures. If you need documentation or guidance, our team can point you to common local requirements and best practices.
A compactable base such as crusher-run (mix of stone and fines) for the bottom 4–6 inches topped with 3/4" crushed stone creates a stable, well-draining parking pad. Add a layer of geotextile fabric underneath to separate native soil and reduce settling, and slope the pad slightly to shed water. This combination balances drainage, load-bearing capacity, and reduced weed growth for foothill conditions.
Typical top-up frequency is every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic, slope, and drainage; steep or heavily used driveways may need attention annually. To reduce wAshouts, install pRoper side grading, swales, culverts, edge restraints, and a compacted base; consider retaining terraces or vegetation on steep banks. Regularly rake and redistribute material after storms and consult our team about stabilizing options for steep sites.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
