Gravel: Storm-Ready Drainage For South Mills • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Support
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 South Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Mills is a small but growing community with a city population of 3,500 and a regional context that supports steady development (metro area population 2.3+ million). With a growth rate of 2.80% annually and a temperate climate marked by 228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b, and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, homeowners and local contractors in South Mills are increasingly investing in outdoor projects. That steady growth drives demand for reliable aggregates for driveways, drainage, patios, and grading work. Homeowners look for quality gravel that improves drainage, resists rutting, and blends with local soils, while contractors prioritize consistent gradation, timely delivery, and predictable material performance tied to regional geology.Popular Projects in South Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Mills gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South Mills.
Hello Gravel's standard delivery is 2+ business days and the platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, but exact timing in South Mills depends on local supplier and truck availability.
For the coastal plain around South Mills, crushed stone (3/4" or #57) and crusher-run are usually best because they compact well and resist rutting. Pea gravel and smooth river rock drain OK but tend to shift and sink in high water table areas, so they are better for decorative uses rather than base material.
Local prices vary by material, supplier, and delivery distance, but expect common driveway gravels to range roughly $28 to $45 per ton or about $35 to $70 per cubic yard delivered. For an exact quote for South Mills, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our sales team since regional sourcing and truck fees affect final price.
In areas with a high water table or seasonal flooding near South Mills, plan for a deeper, well-draining base: typically increase compacted base to 8-12 inches and use a 2-3 inch surface layer of crushed gravel. Add geotextile fabric, perimeter drains or French drains, and, where appropriate, perforated pipe to move water away from the gravel surface.
A 12x40 driveway is 480 square feet. At a common compacted depth of 4 inches this is about 5.9 cubic yards, which is roughly 8 to 9 tons of 3/4" crushed gravel (weights vary by material). Order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading; Hello Gravel will help you calculate exact quantities for your address.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve South Mills and Camden County; availability varies by zip code. For installation, local landscape contractors and earthwork subcontractors in Camden County commonly offer spreading and compaction services—check Hello Gravel listings or call our team to get recommended local installers.
In humid coastal North Carolina, gravel driveways typically need light maintenance once a year (grading and filling low spots) and adding 1/2 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic. Homeowner costs vary by driveway size and material; expect occasional small purchases (a few hundred dollars every couple years) rather than large annual bills.
Camden County and local HOAs may have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and stormwater runoff—some HOAs restrict loose gravel for aesthetic or drainage reasons. Before ordering, check Camden County permitting and your HOA rules; if you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you to local building department contacts.
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.
