Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
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!
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

Why sims Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sims, with a population of 3,350, sits within a growing West North Carolina region that supports broader demand from a 2.3+ million metro area. A steady 2.80% annual growth rate means more renovation, new yards, and small construction projects as homeowners upgrade properties and contractors expand services. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates mixed needs: materials must shed water efficiently during wet periods, resist UV and sun exposure during long dry stretches, and suit plant palettes that thrive in mild winters. For landscapers and builders that means reliable bulk supplies for grading, drainage, erosion control, and topdressing, as well as materials appropriate for long-term stability on sloped residential lots. In this setting, consistent-quality bulk aggregates, soils, and mulches matter because they reduce rework, support plant health, and help projects last through seasonal cycles.Popular Projects in sims This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - sims Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in sims.
Homeowners in Sims commonly order gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, grading, raised beds, and drainage work. These materials are used for base layers, top dressing, leveling and improving drainage, and are selected based on project goals like stability, appearance, or water management.
Most suppliers serving Sims work with minimum orders around 3 tons, which fits small yard jobs while larger projects require greater quantities. Delivery radius varies by supplier but typically covers nearby towns in West North Carolina; Hello Gravel will show available suppliers and delivery options for your zip code.
Sims sees humidity and occasional freeze-thaw cycles that can affect compaction and drainage. Choose materials that promote drainage and resist washout for wet months, and plan for good base preparation to reduce freeze-thaw heaving.
Prices in Sims depend on the material type, local supply, and delivery distance, so per-ton and per-yard rates can vary seasonally. For the most accurate price, use Hello Gravel's online quote tool or request a custom estimate for your exact zip code and delivery location.
Contractors typically recommend scheduling work in late spring through early fall when ground is drier and conditions are more stable. Avoid heavy rain windows and times when freeze-thaw cycles are active; if possible, book ahead to secure preferred dates.
Some city codes and neighborhood HOAs have rules about driveway materials, surface types, and maximum impervious area. Before ordering, check local planning or your HOA covenants and, if needed, share requirements with Hello Gravel so suppliers can advise on suitable materials.
Sims and surrounding West North Carolina areas can have slopes, clay soils, and localized drainage issues that influence material choice and installation. For sloped or poorly draining areas, prioritize materials and preparation that improve stability and water flow, and consider grading or geotextile underlayment as part of the plan.
Delivery typically arrives by dump truck (often tri-axle) and some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. You can request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed; for guaranteed placement, arrange for a contractor or ask our team about additional placement options.
Compare materials by how they perform on load-bearing, drainage, maintenance, appearance, and cost rather than by name alone. Think about your priorities—durability for vehicle traffic, permeability for drainage, or look for curb appeal—and use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for tailored recommendations.
Materials placed on exposed slopes or in high-traffic areas tend to need more maintenance due to erosion, rutting, or vegetation growth in Sims' humid climate. Minimize upkeep with proper base preparation, edging, good drainage, occasional top-ups, and weed control, and choose a material that matches the intended use and local conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
