Gravel: Built For Effective Rain Drainage • Next-Day Gravel Delivery Across Metro
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 West Hillsborough Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Hillsborough is a growing community with a city population of 70,000 and ties to a broader metro area of 2.3+ million people. With an annual growth rate of 2.80% and a moderate climate—228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—local homeowners are seeing steady demand for new driveways, patios, and drainage improvements. That steady growth and moderate precipitation mean projects that control stormwater and reduce erosion are common.

Frequently Asked Questions - West Hillsborough gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Hillsborough.
Yes. Gravel is a durable, cost-effective option for West Hillsborough driveways and yard paths because it drains well and holds up to our freeze-thaw cycles and occasional heavy rains. Use angular crushed stone (for vehicle areas) to lock together better, and plan for a base layer and proper grading to prevent tracking and washout.
They can. Many parts of Hillsborough, especially historic districts and some West Hillsborough HOAs, have material or appearance rules that may limit gravel in front yards or require specific edging and color. Check your local zoning office or HOA covenants before ordering to avoid unwanted rework.
Gravel for West Hillsborough is typically sourced from nearby quarries in central and western North Carolina, so color and texture reflect local geology. Hello Gravel works with regional suppliers, so you can expect material that matches common local looks, though exact shade and consistency can vary by quarry.
Costs vary by material type, quantity, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and factors like specialty stone, spreading requests, and longer haul distances can add to price, so the fastest way to get an accurate figure is to request a quote for your zip code.
A common example: a 10 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 4.6 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 6 tons depending on the gravel type. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide your dimensions to get a precise tonnage estimate for your specific stone.
Yes, gravel performs well in West Hillsborough's mild-to-moderate winters and light snow, since it allows meltwater to drain instead of freezing on a hard surface. Expect some movement after plowing or heavy snow removal, so use angular stone and plan for occasional top-ups in spring.
For drainage, use a layered approach: a compacted base of 3/4" crushed stone for stability, topped with 3/8" to 1/2" clean stone or pea gravel for surface finish. This setup works well on West Hillsborough's clay-prone soils and helps prevent standing water near foundations when paired with proper grading.
Possibly, but access depends on street width, overhead wires, and slope. Hello Gravel uses tri-axle dump trucks for most deliveries; drivers will assess access on arrival and may request an alternate drop location or additional fees for tight access. Note that tailgate spreading is available only at the driver's discretion.
Usually no permit is required just to receive and place gravel on private property, but permits or approvals may be required if you alter drainage, change a driveway approach in the public right-of-way, or work in a regulated riparian buffer. Check the Town of Hillsborough planning department or your HOA before Starting larger projects.
Generally yes. Gravel requires occasional raking, regrading after heavy rains, and topping up every few years depending on traffic. Installing edging, weed barrier fabric, and proper base layers will reduce maintenance in West Hillsborough's vegetation-rich setting.
If installed incorrectly, gravel can contribute to erosion on slopes, but when combined with geotextile fabric, proper base layers, and terrace or retaining features, it can improve infiltration and stabilize surfaces. For steep sites in West Hillsborough, consider erosion controls and consult local guidelines to protect nearby streams and properties.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and Hello Gravel will confirm scheduling with the local hauler.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you should request this service at checkout so the driver is aware. There are no guarantees the driver can spread, as safety and access determine whether it can be done.
Clear the delivery area of cars, toys, and fragile landscaping, and mark your preferred drop zone with cones or stakes. Ensure truck access, note any overhead wires, and tell Hello Gravel about tight access so the hauler can plan; this helps avoid delays and extra charges.
Yes. West Hillsborough properties near the Eno River and other streams may fall under riparian buffer or stormwater rules that limit ground disturbance and material placement. Before working near waterways, check Town of Hillsborough and county environmental regulations to avoid fines and protect sensitive areas.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
