Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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.

Why Southport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Southport's community of 22,790 residents is part of a larger 2.3+ million metro region that is expanding at a steady 2.80% annually. That steady growth translates into consistent demand for home improvements, new landscaping, and small-scale construction—projects that rely on readily available bulk materials. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that handle both sun exposure and wet seasons: properly graded soils for planting beds, durable base layers for driveways and walkways, and erosion-control measures on slopes. Homeowners in this market are choosing lower-maintenance, climate-adapted solutions, so quality, regionally sourced aggregates and soils matter for performance and long-term upkeep.Popular Projects in Southport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Southport Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Southport.
Homeowners and contractors in Southport typically order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, drainage, patio bases, raised beds, and erosion control. These materials are used for both basic landscaping and construction tasks, and regional suppliers often offer mixes tailored to coastal needs. If you are unsure which group of materials fits your project, use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and normally schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by zip code, truck access, and load size; many areas offer free delivery depending on the supplier. Be prepared to share access details and preferred drop location at checkout to get an accurate delivery estimate.
Choose materials and mixes that prioritize drainage and stability rather than a single product. Well-draining, angular aggregates and properly compacted base layers resist washout and reduce salt-related movement, while lighter top layers can help with plantings and bed finishes. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so consider local samples and contractor advice for storm-prone areas.
Spring and fall are often the easiest times to schedule projects in Southport because weather is milder and the ground is easier to work with. Summer heat and the Atlantic hurricane season increase the risk of delays and drainage issues, while winter rains can also slow work. Plan deliveries with a weather window in mind and allow extra time during storm season.
Typical quantities depend on area and depth; for example, a 10 ft by 100 ft driveway at 2 inches of depth is roughly 6 cubic yards (about 8 to 9 tons), and the same area at 3 inches is about 9 cubic yards. A 10 ft by 12 ft patio at 4 inches of base is about 1.5 cubic yards. Because densities vary by material, use our online calculator or request a quote with project dimensions for an exact estimate.
Some projects may require permits or HOA approval depending on scope and location; Southport and neighborhood associations can have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and visible landscaping. Check with the City of Southport building or planning department and your HOA before ordering materials. If in doubt, contact our sales team and we can point you to local resources.
Yes, some coastal and historic neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging utilities, or seasonal event restrictions that affect dump truck access. Provide clear directions, describe road width and overhead clearance, and note any tight turns or restrictions in Order Notes at checkout. If access is limited, consider smaller delivery locations or staged drops and discuss options with our team before scheduling.
Prices in Southport generally reflect local sourcing and transportation costs; coastal deliveries can be slightly higher than inland areas because of limited local quarries and truck routing. Seasonal demand and supplier availability also affect pricing. For a precise comparison, enter your zip code to get current rates and delivery fees for your specific location.
Common services include spreading, compaction, grading, excavation, and erosion-control installation; homeowners often hire contractors for heavy grading or base compaction. Our drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and is assessed on arrival. Ask your contractor about required base preparation and compaction to ensure long-term performance.
Buyers frequently worry about erosion from storms, poor drainage on coastal lots, and material migration over time. Plan proper slope, drainage channels, and stable base layers to prevent washouts, and choose heavier base materials where stability is needed. Regular maintenance like regrading low spots and topping surfaces can greatly extend the life of a project.
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.
