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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Waxhaw gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Waxhaw.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10-12 tons of gravel. In Waxhaw, delivered gravel prices commonly range from about $45 to $90 per ton depending on type and season, so a single truckload usually runs roughly $450 to $1,080 before taxes and fees. Hello Gravel can give an exact quote for your zip code and material choice.
Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches you need about 6-7 cubic yards (roughly 8-10 tons), at 3 inches about 9-10 cubic yards (12-14 tons). Local soil and compaction needs in Waxhaw can affect the required depth, so we recommend using our material calculator or contacting our team for a precise estimate.
Crushed stone like #57 or 3/4"-1" crushed gravel is a common choice for driveways because it compacts well and drains. In Waxhaw’s climate and soils, a layered approach (baserock topped with a driving surface) performs best; decorative pea gravel is better for walkways and low-traffic areas. If you are unsure, our sales team can recommend a type based on traffic, appearance, and drainage needs.
For a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway at 3 inches depth, you need about 9-10 cubic yards (12-14 tons). At local delivered prices of $45-$90 per ton, material cost is roughly $540 to $1,260, plus any delivery or spreading fees and compaction work. Exact pricing depends on material type, site access, and whether you need base rock or additional prep.
Two inches of gravel is generally not sufficient for a driveway except as a thin top dressing; it will shift and rut under vehicle traffic. For a durable driveway in Waxhaw you should plan on 4-6 inches of compacted gravel over a prepared subgrade, with thicker base layers where soil is clay or poorly drained. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading but base preparation is crucial for longevity.
Buying in bulk through Hello Gravel and choosing a locally sourced standard crushed stone is usually the most cost-effective option. Compare suppliers, order the minimum truck quantities we require (3 tons minimum), and consider recycled crushed concrete if suitable for your project. Delivery fees are often low or included depending on the supplier and your zip code.
Coverage varies by depth: at 2 inches one ton covers about 115 sq ft; at 3 inches about 77 sq ft; at 4 inches about 58 sq ft. These are general estimates—actual coverage depends on the gravel type and how tightly it is compacted.
#57 gravel is a common crushed stone with pieces around 1/2" to 1" in size, often mixed with fines; it is widely used for drainage, driveways, and as a base material. #57 is commonly available from local North Carolina suppliers serving Waxhaw, though color and exact texture will reflect local geology. Ask us for photos of local batches if you need a visual match.
You can place gravel over dirt for a temporary or low-use area, but for a long-lasting driveway or high-traffic surface you should prepare the subgrade: remove organic material, regrade, add a compacted base layer, and consider geotextile fabric to reduce mixing. Waxhaw’s soils can include clay that holds water, so extra base and compaction are often needed to prevent sinking and washouts.
Color choice depends on your home’s style and local landscaping—neutral tans and grays are common in Waxhaw and complement brick and stone homes, while white or blue-gray gravels make a bolder statement. Keep in mind darker gravels retain more heat and natural material colors vary by local geology, so request samples or photos from suppliers before ordering.
A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) at 3 inches depth requires about 3.7 cubic yards, roughly 5-6 tons of gravel. At local delivered prices of $45-$90 per ton, expect material costs around $225 to $540, plus any delivery or site-prep charges. Exact cost depends on gravel type, access, and whether you need base material or compaction.
Local geology determines color, texture, and availability—materials sourced near Waxhaw will reflect Piedmont rock characteristics and may differ from coastal or mountain gravels. Waxhaw’s seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles mean drainage and compaction matter, so choose gravel that drains well and pair it with proper subbase work for best performance.

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.
