Gravel For Coastal Drainage And Erosion Control • Fast Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
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 Topsail Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Topsail Beach is a coastal community with a city population: 474,704 experiencing steady growth and increasing home improvement activity. With a growth rate: 2.80% annually and a climate that sees 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall: 34.00 inches, homeowners here face both sunny, salt-air exposure and periodic heavy rains that drive demand for durable, well-draining surfaces. That combination of growth and coastal conditions means more driveways, walkways, erosion-control projects, and landscape refreshes—all places where quality gravel matters. Homeowners choose gravel to improve drainage, reduce maintenance compared with turf, and protect slopes and shorelines from washouts. Gravel performs well in Topsail Beach’s environment because its permeability helps manage runoff from frequent sun-heated storms and the region’s sandy soils. In hardiness zone 8b, gravel reduces standing water and works with local soil to stabilize surfaces while tolerating coastal conditions. Hello Gravel sources locally matched gravel, connects you with vetted suppliers and dump-truck delivery, and provides clear pricing and scheduled delivery windows so you get the right rock, in the right amount, when you need it.Popular Projects in Topsail Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Topsail Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Topsail Beach.
A standard tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 10-12 cubic yards, about 14-18 tons depending on material) typically runs in the range of $400 to $1,200 delivered to Topsail Beach. Exact pricing depends on the gravel type, local supplier rates, and access or placement needs. Get a zip-code specific quote on our site for the most accurate price.
For 1,000 sq ft at a 3-inch depth you will need about 13 tons of gravel; expect total costs (materials, delivery, and basic spreading/compaction) roughly between $700 and $1,400. Prices vary with gravel grade, whether delivery is free in your area, and the amount of labor required to prepare and grade the site. Contact our team for a tailored estimate based on your exact address and project scope.
Using common weight estimates, 1,000 sq ft requires about 9 tons at 2 inches, about 13 tons at 3 inches, and about 17 tons at 4 inches. In cubic yards that is roughly 6.2, 9.3, and 12.4 cubic yards respectively. These are practical estimates; the exact amount can vary slightly with gravel density and compaction.
No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a residential driveway in Topsail Beach. Coastal sandy soils and potential storm runoff mean you should plan on at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base and, in many cases, a geotextile fabric or compacted sub-base for long-term stability. Thicker sections and good drainage reduce washout and rutting near the beach.
A crushed stone base with angular particles (for example a 2- to 3-inch base topped with 3/4" crushed stone or '57' stone) works well on coastal sites because it locks together and drains. Avoid soft or easily weathered limestones in beachfront locations; granite- or quartz-based crushed stone holds up better to salt and wet conditions. Add edging and proper slope to prevent material loss during heavy rain or tidal events.
Yes. Narrow streets, tight turns, overhead wires, or pedestrian areas at beachfront properties may limit tri-axle truck access and can incur extra fees for short-dumps, smaller trucks, or labor to move material with loaders or wheelbarrows. Note these conditions in Order Notes and our team will review access with the supplier; we’ll advise of any additional charges before dispatch. Drivers will also assess safety on arrival and may refuse unsafe placements.
Possibly. Topsail Beach has local zoning, coastal development rules, and some neighborhoods have HOA covenants that can restrict driveway materials, curb cuts, or beachfront work. Before ordering, check with the Town of Topsail Beach planning department and your HOA if applicable; if you’re unsure, our team can remind you to verify permits and approvals. We do not obtain permits on your behalf.
A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 5 to 6 tons of gravel; with material, delivery, grading, compaction, and basic edging, professional installation typically ranges from $600 to $1,400. Final price depends on site prep (removal of vegetation, grading), required equipment access, and the gravel grade you choose. Ask for an on-site or zip-code quote for a precise estimate.
Buy in bulk to lower per-ton cost, prepare the site yourself (grade and remove vegetation) and schedule one delivery to avoid repeat fees. Rent a plate compactor and do the spreading yourself or hire local labor for spreading only to save on professional installation costs. Use our material calculator and request a zip-code quote so you can compare delivered prices and choose the best local supplier.
DIY can save 30% to 60% of the total cost because you avoid labor and equipment charges; for many small driveways that can mean saving several hundred dollars. Professionals add value through grading, compaction, proper base installation, and cleanup, which improves longevity and can reduce future maintenance. We recommend getting both material-only and install quotes so you can compare cost versus time and desired finish.
Install a stable sub-base, use geotextile fabric to separate sand from gravel, and create positive drainage with proper slope to direct water away from the surface. Use angular crushed stone that compacts well, add edging to trap material, and consider a thicker section in vulnerable areas. For properties at risk of storm surge, review local flood rules and plan for frequent maintenance or alternative hardscape solutions.
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.
