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.

Why Southport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Southport homeowners (population 22,790) are building and upgrading outdoor spaces in a climate that supports year-round projects. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually and nearby regional activity, demand for reliable aggregates is rising for driveways, patios, drainage work, and erosion control. Southport’s moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 8b—means soil movement and drainage are common concerns. Homeowners choose quality gravel to stabilize surfaces, improve runoff, and create low-maintenance landscapes that stand up to both wet spells and long sunny stretches. Local sourcing also matters: gravel reflects the area’s geology and delivers the texture and color homeowners expect for aesthetic and functional uses. Gravel is especially well suited to Southport’s conditions. Its permeability helps manage the 34.00 inches of rain by encouraging infiltration and reducing surface pooling, while angular, crushed mixes lock together for a durable base under traffic. Gravel works for driveways, walkways, French drains, and as a base for paving. Hello Gravel makes it easy to get the right material—order online, choose your delivery date, and connect with vetted local suppliers and haulers. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Use our material calculator or contact our team to size your order and keep projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Southport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Southport gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Southport.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Southport and Brunswick County.

We do not list third-party supplier names here, but we make it easy to compare nearby options and prices.
Delivered gravel prices in the Southport area vary by material, distance, and truck access, but typical ranges are about $30 to $80 per ton for common gravels. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; some suppliers may add a small delivery fee for long runs or restricted access. For an exact quote for your address, check your zip code on our site or request a written quote.
For Southport’s salt-air and coastal humidity, choose inert, well-draining materials like washed crushed stone, crushed granite, or washed river rock. Avoid materials with high soluble fines or soft rock that can break down quicker in salt exposure. Using washed stone and larger sizes helps reduce salt buildup and improves durability near the coast.
Calculate cubic yards first: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to convert to tons. Example: a typical 2-car driveway of 480 sq ft at 3" needs ~4.4 cubic yards (about 6.2 tons); a 3-car area of 960 sq ft at 3" needs ~8.9 cubic yards (about 12.4 tons). Order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste.
Use a layered approach: a compacted base of larger, angular stone (3/4" to 1 1/2") for stability, topped with a washed 3/8" to 1/2" stone for surface drainage. Add geotextile fabric between soft subgrades and the stone to stop mixing with sand or clay. For steep slopes or areas prone to washout, use larger riprap or gabions at critical points and consider vegetation to reduce erosion.
Labor and installation costs in the Southport/Brunswick County area vary with prep work, access, and site conditions; typical ranges are $2.50 to $6.00 per sq ft for basic installation including base and grading. More complex jobs with heavy excavation, drainage work, or edge restraint can cost more. Get 2-3 local quotes and ask for line-item pricing for base material, labor, and hauling.
Gravel drains well so it performs better than impervious surfaces during heavy rain, but high winds, storm surge, and concentrated runoff can wash loose material away. Proper grading, edge restraints, geotextile fabric, and larger stone sizes in vulnerable spots reduce the risk of erosion during storms. For areas at risk of surge, consider hardscaping or engineered solutions rather than loose gravel.
Permit and HOA rules vary across Southport and Brunswick County; some neighborhoods or HOAs restrict loose gravel or require specific driveway treatments. Check with the City of Southport planning department and your HOA covenants before installing. If you need help, our team can point you to local resources and recommend materials that meet common HOA preferences.
Concrete and pavers generally last longer with less routine maintenance but cost more up front and can trap water unless properly drained. Gravel is less expensive, more forgiving to install and repair, and offers superior drainage, but it needs periodic regrading and topping up, especially after storms. Choose based on budget, desired look, drainage needs, and how much maintenance you want to perform.
Yes—those materials are commonly available in the Southport market, but color, size, and exact product names vary with regional sources. Generally, washed river rock and pea gravel are priced higher per ton than standard crushed stone; expect rough price tiers with crushed stone typically being the most economical, crushed granite mid-range, and decorative washed rock at the higher end. For current availability and exact pricing per ton for your address, request a quote using your zip code.
Tell us about narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, or soft yards at checkout so we can match the right truck and driver; tri-axle dump trucks are common but some sites need smaller trucks or offloading by hand. Consider laying plywood as temporary track for truck access and mark desired drop areas clearly to avoid damage. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but plan for time and tools if you need professional spreading or compaction.
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.
