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.
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.

Why South Salisbury Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Salisbury, a city with a population of 35,000, sits inside a growing West North Carolina region whose metro area population is 2.3+ million and is expanding at a rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports steady residential development but creates a need for materials that handle both sun exposure and episodic heavy rain. Homeowners and contractors in South Salisbury frequently need durable, permeable aggregates for driveways, patios, drainage beds, and erosion control. Gravel is a go-to because it stabilizes surfaces, promotes rapid drainage, and is low maintenance. When projects are happening in a market growing as quickly as this one, clear pricing, reliable delivery, and accurate quantity calculations help keep timelines and budgets on track. Gravel performs well in South Salisbury’s mix of sun and rain: its permeability helps move water away from foundations during the region’s 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, while rock surfaces stand up to 228 sunny days per year. Angular crushed gravel locks together for driveways and access lanes, pea gravel and rounded stone offer decorative, walkable surfaces, and larger rock works well for French drains and erosion basins. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you get material that fits local soils and slopes, choose your delivery date, and request tailgate spreading at checkout for the driver to assess on arrival.Popular Projects in South Salisbury This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Salisbury gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South Salisbury.
Delivered prices vary by type, quantity, and supplier, but typical ranges in South Salisbury are: crusher run $22-$40 per ton, #57 crushed stone $28-$55 per ton, and pea gravel $35-$65 per ton. Prices can be higher for small orders, difficult delivery locations, or specialty colors; ask for a local quote to confirm. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and connects you to local suppliers for exact rates.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Many local suppliers include delivery within nearby areas at no extra charge, but some locations or tight access jobs may incur a delivery fee (commonly $0-$100 depending on distance and restrictions). We recommend checking your zip code on our site or contacting our team for a firm delivery price.
For South Salisbury's Piedmont clay and humid subtropical climate, well-graded crushed stone such as crusher run or 3/4"-minus and #57 stone work best because they lock together and shed water. A compacted base with good drainage (crown and edge restraints) helps prevent rutting and mud in wet periods. Avoid very rounded gravels (like loose river rock) as they move more on clay soils.
A 20x20 ft driveway equals about 400 sq ft. At 2" depth you need roughly 3.5 tons, at 3" about 5.2 tons, and at 4" about 6.9 tons. Order about 10% extra to allow for compaction and spreading, so round up when you request delivery.
On slopes you can get washouts, channeling, and loss of fines during heavy rains. Mitigate these by installing proper base layers, edge restraints, geotextile fabric, small berms or check dams, and directing runoff to swales or French drains. Vegetated buffers and retaining walls also help stabilize slopes and reduce erosion near gravel surfaces.
Expect light maintenance like raking and minor regrading annually and a more thorough regrade every 2-3 years. Adding new gravel to refresh the surface is commonly needed every 3-5 years depending on traffic; typical topping amounts range from 1-2 tons for small repairs up to several tons for larger refreshes. Costs depend on material and delivery but budgeting for occasional topping and annual upkeep is wise; get local pricing for accurate estimates.
Permit and HOA rules vary. Many municipalities allow gravel driveways but may have rules about driveway location, curb cuts, stormwater, and erosion control; some HOAs restrict gravel for aesthetic reasons. Before ordering, check Salisbury city planning or your HOA covenants and call our team if you need help supplying materials that meet local requirements.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront cost and offers good drainage, but it requires regular maintenance and can shift on clay soils. Asphalt is mid-range cost with smoother driving surface and less frequent maintenance, while concrete pavers have higher upfront cost and excellent durability and appearance with lower maintenance. Choose based on budget, desired look, drainage needs, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Yes—many local suppliers offer recycled crushed concrete and open-graded/permeable aggregates that work well for driveways and stormwater-friendly surfaces. These materials can reduce runoff and reuse local materials, but availability and color/texture vary by supplier. Request recycled or permeable options in your Hello Gravel order notes and we will match you with local sources when possible.
Install a well-draining base: remove soft organic soils, add a geotextile over unstable clay, place a 4-6" compacted layer of crusher run or similar base, then finish with a 1-2" wearing course. Make sure the surface has a crown for runoff and use proper edge restraints to keep gravel contained. Good compaction and drainage are the best defenses against freeze-thaw heaving.
Drivers may be able to perform basic tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and site conditions upon arrival. For precise grading or professional spreading, plan to hire a landscaper or contractor after delivery.
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.
