Gravel: Drainage Built For Weddington Rain • Fast Local Gravel Delivery On Schedule
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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Weddington gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Weddington.
Delivery cost depends on gravel type, distance to the supplier, and order size. In the West North Carolina area you can generally expect delivered prices to fall in a broad range (materials plus delivery) — check your zip code for exact pricing; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often provides free delivery in many areas. For a precise quote, use our online calculator or contact our sales team with your address and material choice.
For Weddington's clay-based Piedmont soils and fairly wet climate, a layered system works best: compacted quarry process (crusher run) as a base with 3/4" crushed stone on top for a stable, well-draining surface. Pea gravel can be attractive but shifts more easily and is not recommended as the primary material for driveways unless contained with solid edging. Washed stone and properly installed drainage reduce rutting and mud during heavy rain.
Use volume to estimate: a 20x40 ft area is 800 sq ft. For 3/4" crushed gravel alone, you would need about 7 tons for a 2" depth, about 10.5 tons for 3", and about 14 tons for 4" (order slightly more - 5% to 10% - to allow for compaction and waste). If you are building a driveway with a compacted base (for example 4" base plus 3" surface), plan on roughly 24 tons for that 20x40 example and a minimum 3-ton order applies.
Weddington sees moderate to heavy annual rainfall and sits on Piedmont clay soils that can hold water and promote rutting if not addressed. Occasional freezes can cause minor freeze-thaw movement, so proper base depth, a crowned surface, geotextile fabric, and edge restraints are important to keep gravel stable and drained over time.
Installed costs vary with site access, base depth, material choice, and local labor rates; a common ballpark is $2 to $6 per sq ft for a properly prepared and compacted gravel driveway. For a 20x40 ft driveway (800 sq ft), that translates roughly to $1,600 to $4,800, though steep driveways, poor soils, or long haul distances can increase the price. Get on-site estimates from local contractors for an accurate number.
Possibly. Weddington has local ordinances and many neighborhoods have HOAs with design rules, so check with the Town of Weddington, Union County permitting, and your HOA before starting work. If you need help, Hello Gravel can often flag permit or access issues when you provide your address during checkout.
Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed; prepare a clear drop zone and protective edging to speed placement and minimize site damage.
For patios, a compacted crushed-stone base (quarry process or 3/4" crushed) topped with a finer finish like decomposed granite or pea gravel works well depending on the look and use. Pea gravel is comfortable and decorative for seating areas but moves underfoot, while 3/4" crushed stone creates a firmer walking surface when compacted. In all cases use edging and a compacted base to reduce maintenance in Weddington's climate.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
