Why Vale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vale is a growing community with a city population of 8,840 and steady development pressure driven by a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—creates a mix of sun and seasonal wetness that influences landscaping and light-construction needs. Homeowners and contractors in Vale are investing in driveways, drainage upgrades, garden beds, and walkways as lots are improved and maintenance needs rise. For these projects, dependable aggregates are essential: they control erosion, improve drainage, stabilize surfaces, and deliver the durable finish that keeps yards and access routes functional through rainy periods and sunny spells. Gravel is especially well suited to Vale’s conditions because it sheds water, resists rutting when properly compacted, and integrates well with local soils. For driveways and drainage swales, angular crushed gravel locks together for stability; for pathways and decorative areas, rounded pea gravel offers comfortable footing and quick drainage. Hello Gravel connects Vale homeowners with nearby suppliers and professional haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day options available), and regional materials that reflect local geology—making it simple to get the right gravel for your project on the timetable you need.Popular Projects in Vale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vale gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Vale.
Delivered cost depends on material, distance to supplier, and truck size. In Vale, a typical tri-axle load (about 10–16 tons) often runs roughly $400–$1,000 total, or about $35–$65 per ton as a broad estimate. For an exact price enter your zip code on our site or contact our team for a no-obligation quote.
Multiply the driveway area (length x width) by depth to get volume. Example: a 100 ft long x 10 ft wide driveway (1,000 sq ft) needs about 8 tons at 2" depth, about 16 tons at 4", and about 24 tons at 6". Use these as guides and add 5–10% for compaction and spreading.
One ton of gravel covers approximately 125 sq ft at 2" depth, about 62 sq ft at 4" depth, and about 41 sq ft at 6" depth, using a typical regional density. These are approximate values—actual coverage varies by gravel type and compaction, so we recommend ordering a little extra for waste.
Costs vary by site prep, material choice, and contractor rates. For a 20 ft x 100 ft driveway at 4" (about 32 tons), expect material+delivery roughly $1,200–$2,000 (at about $40–$60/ton) and installation/prep labor often $800–$3,000, so a total in the range of about $2,000–$5,000. Get local contractor quotes and a Hello Gravel delivery quote to narrow the estimate.
Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway surface—it wears quickly and can rut in wet weather. For most residential driveways in Vale we recommend 4" of compacted gravel over a properly prepared base, and 4–6" if you expect heavy vehicles. Also consider a compacted base layer (crusher run or geotextile) under the surface gravel for better longevity.
A 20 ft x 20 ft driveway has 400 sq ft. At 4" depth you will need about 6.5 tons of gravel, and at 6" about 9.8 tons. We recommend ordering at least 7–10% extra to cover compaction, grading, and small adjustments; note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons.
With good installation and routine maintenance, a gravel driveway in West North Carolina typically lasts 10–20 years before major replenishment is needed. Expect ongoing maintenance like grading, filling ruts, and adding 1–2 inches of fresh gravel every 3–5 years; annual upkeep costs are often modest, commonly $50–$300 depending on size and repairs. Proper drainage and occasional topping greatly extend lifespan.
Crusher run (also called 3/4" minus or road base) and bank run gravel are usually the most cost-effective durable options for driveways in this region because they compact well. Pea gravel is often cheaper in some areas but can shift and require more maintenance; crushed stone with fines gives the best balance of price and stability. Prices vary by local supply, so check Hello Gravel for local material options and pricing.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 4–7 cubic yards of gravel depending on side height, which is roughly 3.5–7 tons depending on material density and trailer payload limits. For small projects under about 5–7 tons, trailer pickup can be cost-effective if you have the right vehicle and permit weight. For larger projects (over ~8–10 tons) bulk delivery is usually cheaper, easier, and faster.
For a 1,000 sq ft area at 4" depth (about 16 tons), bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective option for homeowners doing the work themselves. Local pickup can work for smaller volumes under a trailer's capacity, while contractor installation increases cost but saves time and ensures professional grading. Use Hello Gravel's calculator and delivery quotes to compare material+delivery versus contractor bids for your specific site.
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.
