Why Skyland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Skyland is a small city of 1,104 residents located inside a larger West North Carolina metro area of 2.3+ million people. Its steady expansion—growing at about 2.80% annually—means more local renovation and infill projects, from driveway repairs to backyard hardscaping and small-scale construction. The region's moderate climate, with 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, creates a demand for versatile bulk materials that balance drainage, stability, and plant health. Homeowners and contractors in Skyland increasingly favor materials that perform well in mixed conditions: soils and topsoil blends that support plantings, aggregates that manage runoff, and mulches and sands that control erosion and surface compaction. Quality, locally sourced bulk materials reduce rework, improve longevity of landscape features, and simplify project planning across property types and lot sizes.Popular Projects in Skyland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Skyland Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Skyland.
Choose materials based on how the area will be used: traffic, drainage, and appearance. In Skyland's hilly, wet climate, homeowners often pick aggregates that shed water and resist washout; consider how gravel, sand, dirt, stone each perform for load-bearing, drainage, and planting areas. If in doubt, use our material quiz or contact our team to match material properties to your project needs.
Prioritize drainage and erosion control on slopes by selecting materials that promote runoff without eroding. Layering and proper base preparation matter as much as the material type; combining different aggregate sizes and adding geotextile can improve stability. Consult with a contractor or our team to create a system tailored to Skyland's terrain and seasonal rains.
Common projects include driveways, pathways, patios, raised beds, and erosion control or drainage fixes. For each project, pick materials that match function—durable, compactable mixes for driveways; fine, levelable material for patios; and loose fill for planting beds. We can help estimate quantities and suggest materials that balance cost, appearance, and performance for your specific project.
Spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for delivery and installation because ground conditions are drier and crews are more available. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain windows or when freeze-thaw cycles make the ground soft or muddy. If you need faster service, next-day delivery is available for qualifying orders placed before the cutoff, but always check local weather before finalizing a date.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (typically 3 tons) and delivers with dump trucks; standard delivery takes 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before the service cutoff but may include an extra fee, and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Make sure the truck can access your property and note any obstacles, driveway limits, or weight restrictions when ordering.
Some local suppliers and haulers can offer next-day delivery depending on availability, order size, and weather; same-day is rare and depends on local capacity. Use our checkout to see delivery options for your zip code and to select a preferred date. If you need a faster turnaround, contact our team as early as possible so we can check local supplier schedules.
Material needs depend on area, depth, and whether the project requires compaction or multiple layers; common depths range from a few inches for pathways to several inches for driveways. Use our online material calculator or provide project dimensions to our team for a custom estimate. We recommend ordering slightly more to account for compaction and grading, and we can help translate your plan into tons for delivery.
Permit requirements vary by project type, location, and county; driveway changes, significant grading, or work in steep or protected areas may require permits or approvals. Check with Buncombe County or the Skyland local jurisdiction before ordering, and call our team if you need help understanding how permits could affect timing or delivery. We do not handle permitting, but we can adjust delivery timing around permit or inspection schedules when possible.
Materials ordered through Hello Gravel come with transparent pricing, but total project cost will vary based on labor, equipment, and site prep. DIY projects can save on labor but may require rental equipment and more time, while contractors typically offer faster installation and bulk pricing on materials. Get a quote for materials from us and compare it with contractor bids that include labor and site work to decide which approach fits your budget and timeline.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

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 specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. 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!
