Gravel: Durable For Sun And Rain • Choose Your Preferred Gravel Delivery Date
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 Walnut Cove Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Walnut Cove is a growing community with a city population of 8,440 and is part of a broader metro area of 2.3+ million. With a growth rate of 2.80% annually and a temperate climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rain annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners and small builders are seeing steady demand for outdoor projects and property upgrades. New driveways, drainage improvements, and low-maintenance landscape features are common as properties adapt to both sunny stretches and seasonal storms. That steady growth and varied weather mean homeowners are looking for reliable aggregates that handle runoff, reduce erosion, and create durable surfaces with minimal upkeep. Gravel is a practical choice for Walnut Cove yards because it promotes quick drainage, resists rutting in wet weather, and reflects heat during hot, sunny periods. For paths, driveways, and French drains, locally sourced gravel blends with regional soils and performs well under the area’s 34.00 inches annual rainfall and frequent sun. Hello Gravel connects Walnut Cove homeowners with vetted local suppliers and hauling partners to make ordering simple: choose your material, pick a delivery date, and get professional dump-truck delivery so projects can start on schedule with the right material on-site.Popular Projects in Walnut Cove This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Walnut Cove gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Walnut Cove.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Walnut Cove area carries about 12 to 16 tons of gravel. Pricing varies by material type and delivery distance, but expect an estimated range of $30 to $80 per ton delivered, so a full truckload often runs roughly $360 to $1,280. Exact pricing depends on local supplier rates, the gravel type, and any additional services like tailgate spreading, so get a quote for a precise number.
Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches one ton covers about 110 to 120 sq ft, at 3 inches about 75 to 80 sq ft, and at 4 inches about 55 to 60 sq ft. Variations result from gravel density and particle size, but those figures are reliable estimates for planning driveways and paths in Walnut Cove. Use these numbers to calculate quantities before ordering.
For 1,000 sq ft, quantities vary by depth: at 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (≈8.6 tons), at 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards (≈13.0 tons), and at 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards (≈17.2 tons). Using local delivered ton pricing of roughly $30 to $80 per ton, the material cost would typically range from about $260 to $1,376 depending on depth and gravel type. Remember this estimate covers material only; site prep and additional labor are extra.
Walnut Cove sits in North Carolina's Piedmont/foothills region, so local gravel often reflects nearby rock types like granite and schist, giving medium to coarse crushed stone in gray and brown tones. Regional sourcing means color, angularity, and fines content can vary, so pick a gravel type suited to your project (drainage vs. decorative). Call our team to see photos of locally available options and get material recommendations for Walnut Cove soils and climate.
A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 inches requires about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.9 tons) and at 4 inches about 6.5 cubic yards (≈9.1 tons). With local delivered gravel prices around $30 to $80 per ton, expect material costs in the ballpark of $210 to $730; total job cost will be higher if you include site prep, base installation, grading, and hauling fees. For a tailored quote, check your zip code and request delivery and service pricing from Hello Gravel.
Generally no — 2 inches is thin for a driveway and is better suited for a temporary surface or a top dressing over an existing, well-compacted base. For long-term driveway use in Walnut Cove, plan on 3 to 6 inches of compacted gravel over a properly prepared subbase, with thicker sections for heavy vehicle traffic. Adding a geotextile fabric and properly compacting will improve longevity on local soils.
It depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3 inches needs about 11.1 cubic yards (≈15.5 tons), while at 4 inches it needs about 14.8 cubic yards (≈20.7 tons). Use the formula: area (ft2) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by ~1.4 to estimate tons for Walnut Cove gravel.
A 7x14 dump trailer's capacity varies with side height but typically holds about 3.5 to 7 cubic yards. For gravel, that equates to roughly 5 to 10 tons depending on how full the trailer is and gravel density. If you need larger deliveries, tri-axle dump trucks are more common for multi-ton loads in Walnut Cove.
With proper installation and periodic maintenance (re-grading and top-ups), a gravel driveway or path in Walnut Cove can last 10 to 20 years or longer for light-use areas. Heavy-traffic driveways may need more frequent replenishing every 2 to 5 years, and freeze-thaw cycles or poor drainage will shorten life if not addressed. Regularly fixing ruts and maintaining drainage prolongs performance.
Buy in bulk to take advantage of lower per-ton pricing and meet Hello Gravel's minimum order of 3 tons to avoid small-order premiums. Choose a locally sourced material to reduce haul fees, schedule delivery during standard windows to avoid rush charges, and reuse existing gravel where practical to lower total material needs. Contact our team for a local quote and material calculator to compare options.
Ten cubic yards equals about 270 cubic feet per yard times 10 = 270 cubic feet? Correction: 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft, so 10 cubic yards = 270 cu ft. At 2 inches (0.1667 ft) this covers about 1,620 sq ft; at 3 inches about 1,080 sq ft; and at 4 inches about 810 sq ft. Ten cubic yards of most gravels weigh roughly 14 tons, so plan delivery accordingly for Walnut Cove sites.
A 20x20 driveway (400 sq ft) at 3 inches needs about 6.9 tons of gravel and at 4 inches about 9.1 tons. Using typical delivered material prices of $30 to $80 per ton, expect material costs roughly $210 to $730; additional expenses for site prep, compaction, and optional spreading will increase the total. Request a quote with your zip code to get a precise delivered price and schedule.
