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 Sapphire Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a population of 1,070, Sapphire is a small but growing community experiencing a 2.80% annual growth rate. The town averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.00 inches of rain annually, sitting in hardiness zone 8b—conditions that support lush landscaping but also create a clear need for durable site drainage and erosion control. That steady growth and mixed climate drive demand for aggregates for driveways, patios, paths, and drainage projects. Homeowners here want materials that compact well, shed water during storms, and match local stone tones; contractors need consistent supply, clear pricing, and timely delivery to keep projects on schedule. Gravel is a practical choice for Sapphire’s environment because it improves surface drainage, reduces mud after heavy rain, and stands up to repeated sun exposure without breaking down. Locally sourced crushed gravel for driveways and pea gravel for walkways are common selections, with color and texture reflecting regional geology. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers, offers transparent pricing, an easy online ordering flow, and scheduled delivery so you get the right gravel for your project without extra coordination. Choose your delivery date at checkout and add placement notes for best results.Popular Projects in Sapphire This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sapphire gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sapphire.
Yes. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve Sapphire and the West North Carolina area—check your zip code at checkout. Minimum orders Start at 3 tons, standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
It is possible but uncommon. Western North Carolina has a history of gem-bearing alluvial deposits, so creek gravel in the region occasionally contains small stones, but the screened and processed gravel sold for landscaping and construction is not intended or marketed as gem-bearing.
Sapphires and other gems have been found historically in Western North Carolina creek deposits, but such finds are rare. If gem hunting is your goal, seek out authorized gem mines or designated public collecting areas rather than relying on landscaping gravel supplies.
You must have permission from the landowner to collect gravel or rocks on private land, and some public lands or commercial gem mines allow recreational collecting with permits or fees. Check local county rules, sTate park regulations, or established gem-mining attractions for specific permissions before collecting.
Generally you should not remove material from rivers without permission from the landowner or the managing public agency. Stream and riverbed regulations vary by county and sTate, and removing material can harm habitat and water quality, so contact local authorities before collecting.
Crushed stone (for example 3/4" crushed rock or crush-and-run) is usually best for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water on slopes common in the Sapphire area. Pea gravel is more decorative and drains well but shifts under traffic, so choose crushed mixes for driveways and pea or river rock for borders and patios.
A quick rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3" depth. Because 1 cubic yard of gravel typically weighs around 1.2 to 1.5 tons, a 200 sq ft driveway at 3" depth would be roughly 2 cubic yards, or about 2.5 to 3 tons. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions and zip code for a precise estimate.
Yes, local contracted dump truck fleets deliver to rural Sapphire addresses when access is safe and legal. Drivers will decide the safest dump spot on arrival; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, color, texture, and stone composition can vary based on local geology in West North Carolina. Photos are representative; if you have a color preference, add it to Order Notes and our team will try to match your request when possible.
Most commercial gravel sold for landscaping and construction is screened and graded and will not contain gem-bearing paydirt. If you want material for prospecting, look for local paydirt or fee-dig operations and authorized gem mines that sell material marketed for hobby recovery.
Yes, Western North Carolina has a history of gold and gem finds in river gravels and alluvial deposits, but such discoveries are uncommon and unpredictable. Bulk construction gravel is not a reliable source for valuable gems or gold.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible by phone or through your order confirmation; changes are easier before the supplier has dispatched your materials. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on order status and supplier processing.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
