Why Selma Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Selma has a population of 16,150 and is experiencing steady development alongside a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. With about 228 sunny days each year and roughly 34.00 inches of rain, homeowners here balance bright, dry spells with occasional heavy rainfall that can challenge yards, driveways, and drainage systems. Those local conditions—plus the area’s hardiness zone of 8b—drive demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates. Homeowners and contractors are looking for materials that manage runoff, resist rutting, and support landscaping features while matching local soil and aesthetic needs. High-quality gravel is a practical choice for many of these projects because it provides structural stability without extensive upkeep. Gravel performs well in Selma’s mix of sun and rain: its permeability helps channel the 34.00 inches of annual rainfall into proper drainage, reducing puddles and erosion on slopes and driveways. For patios, walkways, and driveways, well-graded gravel provides traction, resists washout, and blends with locally sourced stone textures. Hello Gravel makes choosing and receiving the right gravel easier by connecting you to vetted local suppliers, offering clear pricing, online scheduling, and professional dump-truck delivery. Order minimums and delivery windows are transparent, and optional tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout; our team can also help calculate how many tons you need for your project.Popular Projects in Selma This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Selma gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Selma.
Delivered gravel in Selma typically ranges from about $35 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea gravel, #57, crushed stone, or crusher run), distance, and supplier. A rough per cubic yard estimate is $30 to $60, since 1 cubic yard of gravel usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and final pricing is confirmed at checkout based on material choice and delivery location.
Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and haulers that serve Selma from Johnston County and neighboring Wake and Wayne County sources, so you get regional material and faster delivery. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day is sometimes available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact suppliers and lead times are shown during checkout for your zip code.
For driveways in Selma, a compactable base like crusher run or a 3/4" minus is ideal, topped with #57 or crushed stone for drainage and traction. Pea gravel is attractive for walkways but can migrate or wash out in heavy summer rains without proper edging and a compacted base. Because local soils can be clayey and summers bring heavy rainfall, stable base layers and good drainage are important for longevity.
A typical 2-car driveway (20' x 40') at 4" depth needs about 9.9 cubic yards, roughly 14 tons. A 1-car driveway (12' x 30') at 4" depth needs about 4.4 cubic yards, roughly 6 to 7 tons. A 20' x 20' patio at 2 to 3" depth requires about 3.7 cubic yards or roughly 5 tons; adjust amounts for deeper base or heavier compaction.
Most residential gravel driveways in Selma and unincorporated Johnston County do not require a building permit, but requirements vary by municipality and HOA. If you are changing access to a public street, doing major grading, or are in an HOA, you should check with Selma city offices, Johnston County planning, or your HOA before work begins. When in doubt, contact local permitting authorities to confirm.
Selma's climate has mild freeze-thaw compared with northern states but heavy summer rains and occasional tropical storms can cause washouts. Crushed stone and #57 perform well because they drain and interlock, while crusher run provides a stable, compactable base. Loose materials like pea gravel can shift or wash away without edge restraints and proper drainage, so base prep and drainage are critical.
Most Selma driveways need light topping up every 1 to 3 years, with heavier regrading and additional material every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and drainage. Typical topping-up deliveries of 1 to 3 tons (if available) cost roughly $100 to $300 delivered; a larger 3+ ton delivery from Hello Gravel will reflect current per-ton pricing. Professional regrading and compaction runs from a few hundred to several hundred dollars depending on driveway length and site access.
Gravel is the lowest upfront cost and provides excellent drainage, but it requires periodic maintenance and has a shorter life span than paved surfaces. Asphalt and concrete cost more up front but usually last longer and need less frequent upkeep; they can be more prone to cracking in areas with poor drainage. For many Selma homeowners, gravel is a practical choice if budget and drainage are priorities, while asphalt or concrete suits higher-traffic or lower-maintenance needs.
Start by removing topsoil and organic material, then install geotextile fabric to separate fill from native clay where needed. Build a compacted subbase of 4 to 6 inches of crusher run in layers, compacting each layer, and finish with a 2 to 3 inch wearing course such as #57 stone. Include a slight crown for runoff and install edge restraints or swales to direct water away and reduce erosion.
Common options are geotextile fabric, gravel grids (plastic cellular systems), metal or stone edging, and concrete or paver borders. Geotextile fabric is relatively low cost and helps separate subgrade; gravel grids cost more but give a very stable surface for driveways and paths. Material costs vary: fabric is inexpensive per square foot, grids are about $1 to $3 per square foot plus infill, and edging runs $2 to $10 per linear foot depending on material and installation complexity.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
