Gravel in Staley, NC

Prices vary by rock type and source, but expect roughly $25-$55 per ton delivered in the West North Carolina region (about $35-$75 per cubic yard). Delivery, minimum order size (Hello Gravel minimum: 3 tons), and the type of gravel (pea, crushed, crusher run) affect final price. For an exact delivered price to Staley, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.

For driveways in Staley's clay/loam soils, crushed stone or crusher run (mixed fines and stones) is best as a compactable base, with #57 stone on top for drainage and stability. For patios and walkways, #8 or crusher fines give a smoother surface; pea gravel works for decorative paths but is not ideal for vehicle traffic. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so note color preferences in Order Notes.

As a rule, 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 tons. Typical ranges: 1-car driveway (12x20) at 3-4" depth needs about 2.5–6 cubic yards (3.5–8.5 tons); 2-car driveway (20x24) at 3-4" needs about 5–10 cubic yards (7–14 tons); a 10x10 patio at 2–3" needs 0.6–0.9 cubic yards (0.9–1.3 tons); a 100-foot driveway (10' wide) at 3–4" needs about 9–12 cubic yards (13–17 tons). Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may require ordering at least that much.

Hello Gravel works with local quarries and haulers in the West North Carolina area to source material near Staley, NC. Typical delivery radiuses for local suppliers are 30–50 miles, but availability and travel fees vary; use the Hello Gravel checkout or call the team to confirm which supplier will serve your zip code. Ask your quote for the mine/borrow pit location if you want to know exact sourcing.

Remove topsoil and install a geotextile fabric to separate soft clay from the base if poor drainage is expected. Place a 4–6" compacted layer of crusher run or crush-and-run in 2" lifts, compacting each lift with a plate compactor or roller, then add a 2–3" wearing course of #57 or #8 stone. Ensure the driveway has a crown or 1–2% slope for drainage and use edge restraints where possible.

Gravel drains well in heavy rain but fines can wash away, creating ruts and potholes after storms; regrading and adding material after large rains is common. Freeze-thaw cycles in West North Carolina are moderate but can loosen the surface and create washboarding in winter and spring. Summer heat has little direct impact on stone, but dry spells can make loose fines dusty; periodic maintenance helps maintain performance year-round.

Hello Gravel uses local dump truck fleets; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout and note that the driver will assess whether it can be done safely on arrival. For guaranteed spreading or grading, hire a contractor or request that service separately.

Contractor costs depend on site prep, equipment, grading, and material type; expect installed prices roughly from $1,000–$4,000 for a typical 1-car driveway and $2,000–$8,000 for a 2-car driveway. This range includes labor and equipment but varies with slope, drainage work, and local labor rates. Get multiple contractor quotes and compare those to Hello Gravel material-only pricing to plan your budget.

With good base, drainage, and regular maintenance, a gravel driveway in Staley can last 10–25 years before major rehab is needed. Plan light maintenance annually: fill potholes, regrade washboard, and add 1–2" of new material every 3–5 years depending on traffic and storms. Heavier traffic or poor drainage will shorten the interval between repairs.

Gravel is the lowest upfront cost, easy to install or DIY, and is permeable, which helps with drainage; however it requires periodic upkeep and can rut under heavy traffic. Asphalt offers a smoother, longer-lasting surface with less routine maintenance but higher upfront cost and less permeability. Pavers provide the most durable and attractive finish but are the most expensive and usually require professional installation.

Regulations vary: some rural Staley properties may not need a permit for a driveway, while county or state rules could require a driveway permit if work affects a public right-of-way or culvert. Staley is in Randolph County, so check town hall, county planning, or any HOA covenants before starting work or scheduling large deliveries. If you need help, contact Hello Gravel and we can note delivery logistics while you confirm permits.

Improve drainage with swales or French drains and keep a slight crown on driveways so water runs off to the sides. Use larger stone or a mix with more angular particles and install edge restraints to keep material in place, and consider geotextile fabric under the base to stabilize soft spots. After heavy rains, inspect and regrade problem spots and add crusher run where ruts form.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
