For driveways in the Walkertown area, crushed stone (3/4" or 1" crushed) provides strong compaction and load-bearing, while #57 stone is good for top layers and drainage. Pea gravel is attractive but shifts more and needs edging; crushed concrete can be a cost-effective base option but may vary regionally. Pick a mix that matches your slope, budget, and maintenance willingness, and note that local suppliers source materials that reflect West North Carolina geology.

Calculate area in square feet (length x width) and multiply by depth in feet to get cubic feet; divide by 27 to get cubic yards. As a rule of thumb use about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for common gravels (density varies by type). Example: a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway at 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs 12x50x0.25 = 150 cu ft = 5.56 cu yd, or roughly 5.5 cu yd x 1.3 = about 7.2 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s online calculator for a location-specific estimate and round up to allow for settlement and compaction.

Walkertown’s humid climate and occasional freeze-thaw cycles mean gravel generally performs well for drainage but can be affected by washouts on steep slopes and by freeze-related frost heave in poorly compacted areas. Proper base preparation, good drainage, and adequate depth reduce problems; using angular crushed stone helps lock the surface while rounded pea gravel drains quickly but moves more in heavy rain. Expect some seasonal maintenance after heavy storms or freeze-thaw events, especially on driveways with poor drainage.

Contractor rates in the Walkertown region vary with scope, but expect installation charges commonly between $2.00 and $6.00 per square foot depending on site prep, base material, grading, and access. Simpler jobs with minimal grading cost less, while driveways needing excavation, drainage work, or compaction are higher. Get multiple local quotes and ask whether the price includes delivery, compaction, and any geotextile fabric.

Typical maintenance in Walkertown includes annual light raking and pothole repair, with a partial top-up every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and weather. Small repairs (raking and filling potholes) are often DIY and inexpensive; a delivery to replenish surface material runs by the ton—use Hello Gravel’s pricing tool for current delivered cost. Expect more frequent attention after heavy rains or winter freeze-thaw cycles, and budget for periodic regrading if water channels form.

Gravel is usually the lowest upfront cost and offers good drainage, but it needs routine maintenance and may require topping up every few years. Asphalt and concrete cost more initially but generally last longer with less frequent surface replenishment; however, they can be pricier in Forsyth County due to labor and material costs. For short-term budget projects or rural drives in Walkertown, gravel is a practical choice; for long-term low-maintenance needs consider asphalt or concrete and compare total lifecycle costs with local contractors.

For slopes around Walkertown, use larger, angular stone such as 1-2" crushed stone or riprap in drainage swales and erosion-prone areas to slow water and resist movement. For surface stabilization on gentler slopes, a base of 3/4" crushed stone with a coarser top layer promotes drainage while locking together. Always combine gravel with proper grading, check dams, or erosion control fabric where needed, and consider local runoff patterns during heavy rain events.

Regulations vary by neighborhood and specific HOA; Walkertown town rules and local HOAs may have restrictions on visible driveway materials, edging, and dust control. Before installing or delivering gravel, check your HOA covenants and the Town of Walkertown zoning or permitting rules, and note any requirements for edging, screening, or drainage. If you’re unsure, Hello Gravel’s team can help you plan material and delivery while you confirm local rules.
