Gravel: Drainage For 34.00 Inch Rainfall • Free Gravel Delivery In West Jefferson
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 Jefferson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Jefferson is a growing community (city population: 10,400) experiencing steady demand for residential projects as the broader region expands (metro area population: 2.3+ million) at a 2.80% annual rate. With a mild but variable climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—homeowners and contractors prioritize durable landscaping and effective drainage. Gravel is commonly used here for driveways, French drains, erosion control on slopes, and base layers for patios and sheds because it reduces mud, stabilizes soils, and lets water pass through rather than pool. As new construction and renovations increase, clear guidance on material size, quantity, and delivery timing becomes more important for DIYers who want predictable results without managing multiple suppliers. Gravel grades that work well in West Jefferson include angular 3/4" crushed stone for driveways and base, and pea gravel for pathways and patios. In an area with 34.00 inches of rain and 228 sunny days per year, angular crushed aggregate sheds water and resists displacement in heavy downpours while still providing a stable walking surface during dry spells. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source materials suited to local geology, handles scheduling and transparent pricing, and supports a minimum 3-ton order size. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and our team can help you pick the right grade and quantity so your project handles both wet winters and sunny summers.Popular Projects in West Jefferson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Jefferson gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Jefferson.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Delivery is usually by tri-axle dump truck and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas see free delivery through Hello Gravel but fees vary by supplier, distance, and site access—check your zip code for an exact price.
Quarries serving the West North Carolina mountains commonly offer crushed stone (1/2" to 1"), 3/4" crushed stone, crusher run (mixed sizes), pea gravel (3/8"), and recycled crushed concrete. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material color and texture will reflect local geology, so availability and exact gradations can vary by supplier.
A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3" depth and weighs roughly 1.4 tons, though this varies by material. For common depths: 2" (patio or path surface) is about 0.9 tons per 100 sq ft, 3" is about 1.3 tons per 100 sq ft, and 6" (compact base) is about 2.6 tons per 100 sq ft. Use these as estimates and get a site-specific quote or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for exact amounts.
West Jefferson's freeze-thaw cycles, frequent rain, and steep slopes make drainage and interlock important. Angular crushed stone and crusher run drain well and lock together, so they are preferred on sloped driveways; pea gravel and rounded stones can migrate on steep grades. Installers should grade for runoff, use geotextile fabric where needed, and provide edge restraints to retain material.
Recycled crushed concrete and reclaimed asphalt are commonly available from regional plants and some local quarries. Some suppliers and contractor partners in Ashe County offer delivery-only while others provide installation or can refer local contractors; ask Hello Gravel at checkout if you need installation services or vendor referrals.
Loose gravel materials typically range from about $25 to $70 per ton depending on type (pea gravel on the higher end, recycled material on the lower). Compacted and installed gravel with grading, base prep, and compaction commonly runs about $3 to $8 per square foot, depending on slope, access, and scope; steep or difficult sites cost more. These are local estimates—request a quote for an accurate price.
For heavy vehicles on hilly terrain, plan on a 8" to 12" compacted base of angular crushed stone (in 3" lifts) over geotextile fabric, plus a 2" to 3" wearing course of 3/4" crushed stone or crusher run. Provide proper edge restraints, cross-slope drainage, and catch basins where water concentrates. This approach improves load distribution and reduces rutting during freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain.
Maintenance includes seasonal grading to eliminate ruts, topping up low spots with fresh stone every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic, and keeping drainage clear to prevent erosion. Well-built gravel driveways with proper base and drainage can perform well for 10+ years, though appearance and surface depth will require periodic refresh. Regular mowing, weed control, and cleaning of culverts helps extend life in mountain conditions.
Requirements vary—some HOAs in West Jefferson or Ashe County have covenants that specify allowed driveway materials, edge treatments, or drainage standards, and county ordinances may require erosion and stormwater controls for certain projects. Before starting, check with your HOA and Ashe County planning or permitting office; Hello Gravel can help provide material specs if you need documentation for approvals.
Gravel is typically the lowest upfront material cost, provides excellent drainage in a rainy, mountainous area, and is easy to repair, but it needs periodic maintenance and can migrate on steep slopes. Asphalt and concrete are more durable and lower maintenance long term but cost more up front and require engineered drainage to avoid freeze-thaw damage. Pavers give an attractive, permeable option but are costly to install—choose based on budget, slope, and desired maintenance level.
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.
