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.
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.

Why Washington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Washington is a growing community with a city population of 22,450 and close ties to a larger metro of 2.3+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local construction and home-improvement projects are active—from new landscaping to driveway repairs and small additions. Washington's climate, with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, about 228/year sunny days, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, creates a need for materials that handle periodic wet seasons without trapping moisture near foundations. Homeowners and contractors alike are looking for reliable, locally sourced aggregates to manage drainage, build durable driveways, and create low-maintenance landscape beds. Gravel is a practical choice for Washington's conditions: it promotes quick drainage after rain, resists erosion under sun exposure, and works well on a range of soil types common to the region. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets so you get the right grade and quantity for your project. We make ordering simple, offer clear delivery windows and optional tailgate assistance, and help you select gravel suited to local rainfall and sun patterns so your project performs long-term.Popular Projects in Washington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Washington gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Washington.
Delivery and hauling fees in Washington, NC depend on load size, truck type, and distance from the local supplier to your site in Beaufort County. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who often include shorter-distance delivery in the material price, while longer hauls may add a flat delivery fee or per-ton hauling charge. For exact costs and next-day availability, get a quote at checkout or call our sales team at 855-241-8884.
For Washington's coastal plain soils and higher rainfall, crushed stone mixes like #57 or a 3/4" crushed stone with a compacted crushed stone base perform well because they lock together and shed water. Pea gravel can look nice but shifts more easily and may require an edge restraint and frequent topping in wet seasons. Consider a crushed stone base with a smaller aggregate surface for durability in Beaufort County's conditions.
A typical residential driveway needs about 4 to 6 inches of compacted base and 1 to 2 inches of surface gravel. That equals roughly 0.33 to 0.5 tons per square yard for each inch of depth, so a 1,000 sq ft driveway usually requires about 6 to 10 tons for a 2" surface or 20 to 30 tons for a 4" compacted base. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact us with your driveway dimensions for a precise estimate.
Most single-family residential driveways in Washington, NC do not have strict county-mandated gravel thickness rules, but certain projects near wetlands, public rights-of-way, or commercial sites may require permits or specific standards from Beaufort County. Always check with the Beaufort County Planning Department or your local HOA before starting work, especially for driveways that connect to public roads or cross regulated areas. Our team can help flag when permits might be needed.
Washington's humid climate and frequent storms increase runoff, which can wash fines out of gravel, create ruts, and move surface material downhill. Expect to regrade and add top dressing more frequently than in drier regions, and use edging, proper slope grading, and periodic compaction to reduce erosion. For properties near tidal areas, factor in stormwater management and consider larger, angular stone for better interlock.
Yes, Hello Gravel partners with local North Carolina suppliers and haulers who serve Washington and Beaufort County and can provide bulk pricing and scheduled deliveries for contractor-scale jobs. Availability and lead times depend on the specific material and regional inventory, so request a project quote through our platform to compare local bulk options. For large or time-sensitive projects, ask about contractor pricing and multiple truck dispatching.
Crushed stone is generally more durable and cost-effective long term for parking areas and low-traffic commercial sites in Washington because its angular particles interlock and resist rutting in wet conditions. Pea gravel can be cheaper up front and offers a smoother appearance but will migrate and require more frequent maintenance on coastal plain soils. For commercial use in Beaufort County, crushed aggregates with a compacted base are usually the better choice.
Common stabilization options available near Washington, NC include geotextile fabric, gravel grids/pavers, and resin-bound systems sold by regional landscape and civil suppliers. Geotextile fabric under the base is a low-cost, effective way to reduce mixing with subgrade, while grids add load-bearing capacity and reduce migration; resin systems are pricier but offer a low-maintenance surface. For most residential driveways in Beaufort County, fabric plus a well-compacted crushed base provides the best balance of cost and performance.
With good installation—proper base preparation, compaction, edging, and drainage—a gravel driveway in Washington typically needs light regrading or topping every 2 to 5 years and more substantial refreshes every 7 to 15 years depending on traffic and storm exposure. Heavy storms, poor drainage, or frequent vehicle turning can shorten that cycle, so maintaining drainage and adding top dressing after severe weather helps extend life. Hello Gravel can help supply material for periodic resurfacing.
Local coastal plain gravels often contain materials that tolerate occasional salt exposure, but prolonged saltwater inundation can accelerate breakdown of certain aggregates and corrode metal features. Quarried, denser stone from inland suppliers may perform better in areas with repeated tidal flooding or constant salt exposure. For sites in flood-prone parts of Beaufort County, discuss your exposure level with our team so we can recommend appropriate, locally available or quarried materials.
