Gravel: Drainage For Wet Summers • Fast Gravel Delivery Across Star
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 Star Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Star has a city population of 2,330 and sits within a fast-growing regional market—the surrounding metro area has a population of 2.3+ million and is expanding with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners here balance long sunny stretches with seasonal wet periods and mild freezes. That mix of climate and steady development drives demand for durable, well-draining materials for new driveways, drainage improvements, patios, and landscape refreshes. Homeowners want aggregates that perform in damp conditions, compact reliably, and blend with local soils; contractors need locally sourced material that matches jobsite expectations and keeps schedules on track.Popular Projects in Star This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Star gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Star.
Prices vary by material and local supply, but in the Star area bulk gravel often runs in the low-to-mid tens of dollars per ton for basic driveway mixes, with specialty stone costing more. Delivery, minimum order (3 tons), and the truck type can affect the final price; Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes for your zip code and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days or next-day service for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee). For an exact price, check availability and get a quote on our site or call 855-241-8884.
For driveways in West North Carolina, crushed stone like 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone is common because it compacts well and drains. Angular crushed stone locks together for stability on slopes, while finer gravel or screenings make a smoother surface; a layered approach (coarse base, finer top) is often best for both homeowners and contractors.
A 20 x 40 ft driveway is 800 sq ft. For a 4" compacted gravel layer you need about 10 cubic yards (roughly 14 tons at about 1.4 tons per cubic yard); for a more durable 6" depth you need about 15 cubic yards (roughly 21 tons). Hello Gravel's material calculator can give a precise estimate for your desired depth and material type.
Yes—properly placed gravel provides good surface drainage on slopes if paired with good grading and subsurface measures. Use angular crushed stone for stability, add a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing with native soils, and include swales or French drains where runoff concentrates to avoid erosion on steep sections.
Typical gravel driveways in this region last anywhere from 5 to 15 years before needing significant renovation, depending on traffic, base preparation, and maintenance. Star's seasonal rains and any freeze-thaw at elevation can increase maintenance needs, so good base work and periodic additions of gravel extend life and performance.
Gravel is usually the most affordable up-front and offers excellent drainage and easy repairs, but it requires more regular upkeep than asphalt. Asphalt gives a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but costs more and reduces permeability; crushed concrete can be a durable, recycled alternative with similar maintenance to gravel. Choose based on budget, desired look, drainage needs, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers who deliver bulk materials to Star; many suppliers offer delivery while installation or mechanical spreading is sometimes available through local contractors. Request delivery at checkout (note minimums and tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion) or contact our team at 855-241-8884 for options and local installer referrals.
Clay soils in the Star area hold water and can cause rutting if gravel is placed directly on them, so a proper base is important. Excavate soft spots, add a geotextile fabric, install a compacted layer of crushed stone (4-6 inches) before a 2-4 inch gravel surface, and ensure positive grading to keep water away from the driveway edges.
Routine maintenance includes annual grading to remove ruts and re-establish crown, filling low spots, and adding 1-3 tons of gravel every 2-5 years depending on use and erosion. Costs vary by local material and delivery rates, but expect modest recurring costs rather than a large one-time expense; contact Hello Gravel for local pricing and to schedule repeat deliveries.
For most residential driveways, professionals recommend a compacted base of 4-6 inches of crushed stone with an additional 2-3 inches of top gravel for a total compacted depth of 6-8 inches for heavier loads. Compact in layers (2-3 inches at a time) with a plate compactor or roller and confirm proper drainage and geotextile placement on soft or clay soils.
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.
