Gravel: Superior Drainage For Rainy Seasons • Free Scheduling And Local Gravel Delivery
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 Wilkesboro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wilkesboro homeowners (city population 26,360) are seeing steady demand for reliable landscaping and site-prep materials as local development follows a regional growth rate of 2.80% annually. With a moderate climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—projects here balance sun exposure with frequent wet periods. That mix drives needs for materials that control water, limit erosion, and stand up to seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and heavy summer storms. Homeowners choose gravel for driveways, drainage trenches, walkways, and base layers because it provides permeability, long-term stability, and relatively low maintenance compared with soil-only solutions. Local geology also shapes the look and texture of available aggregates, so selecting the right grade matters for performance and curb appeal. Gravel works particularly well in Wilkesboro’s environment: its permeability helps manage the area’s 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while 228 sunny days per year reduce long-term moisture retention problems that can lead to rutting. For most residential uses, angular crushed gravel offers good compaction and load-bearing capacity while rounded stone is easier to walk on for paths. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers, handles scheduling and delivery by dump truck, and provides clear pricing and guidance so you get a material suited to Wilkesboro conditions. Standard delivery is available starting at 2+ business days, next-day delivery can be arranged for orders placed before noon CST, and minimum orders start at 3 tons.Popular Projects in Wilkesboro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wilkesboro gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wilkesboro.
Delivered price varies by material and supplier, but expect a full tri-axle dump truck load to contain roughly 10-14 tons of gravel. Hello Gravel's platform shows local delivered pricing when you enter your zip code; many Wilkesboro orders fall in a per-ton range that makes a truckload more economical than small pickups. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout, but drivers perform it at their discretion and spreading is not guaranteed.
To estimate material, use cubic yards = (area ft2 * depth inches) / 324; 1 cubic yard of gravel covers about 162 sq ft at 2" and about 81 sq ft at 4". In Wilkesboro you can expect roughly 9 tons for 2" and 17.3 tons for 4"; at a typical delivered per-ton range of about $35 to $70, material costs run roughly $315–$630 at 2" and $605–$1,210 at 4". Final price depends on the exact stone type, supplier, and any delivery or spreading fees.
Installed costs vary with length and site prep. A common installed range for a properly prepared gravel driveway in this region is about $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft, including materials, grading, and compaction. For example, a 20 ft wide by 100 ft long driveway (2,000 sq ft) typically runs about $3,000–$8,000, with the lower end for minimal prep and a light surface and the higher end where excavation, base rock, and drainage work are required.
For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) expect installed costs roughly $600–$1,600 using the $1.50–$4.00 per sq ft rule of thumb. Material-only for a 3" depth would be about 7.4 cubic yards (roughly 10–11 tons), so material cost alone at $35–$70 per ton would be about $350–$770. Exact numbers depend on gravel type, delivery, and whether the contractor includes grading and compaction.
For light-use residential driveways 2" of top-surface gravel can work temporarily, but 3" to 4" is recommended for year-round durability in West North Carolina, especially with seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles. If you do minimal prep, use 3–4" of compacted crushed stone with a good base layer; if you have heavy vehicles or poor subgrade, add a crushed-stone base (4–6") beneath the wearing layer.
Buying in bulk by the truckload is usually the most cost-effective option per ton, followed by purchasing by the ton or cubic yard at a local yard; small pickup loads are the most expensive per ton. Typical delivered per-ton ranges in this area are roughly $35–$70 depending on material and distance, while retail yard or pickup pricing may push toward the higher end. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and the platform will show per-ton or truckload pricing for your zip code.
Coverage depends on depth: 1 cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". Using a conversion of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1 ton covers roughly 116 sq ft at 2", 77 sq ft at 3", and 58 sq ft at 4". Use these numbers to calculate quantities before ordering and round up for compaction and waste.
For driveways in Wilkesboro, crushed stone or crushed gravel with fines (commonly called 3/4" crushed or dense grade aggregate) is a good all-purpose choice because it compacts and locks together. Pea gravel is decorative and drains well but shifts under traffic, so it usually needs a thicker layer and edging; it can also be slightly more expensive. Coarser base materials (Type 2 or #3) are used under the surface for stability; expect surface crushed stone to be competitively priced locally while decorative gravels can cost more per ton.
Color and finish can affect availability because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so colors reflect local geology and some colors or decorative mixes may be limited. Most standard crushed stone and driveway gravels are similar in price, but specialty or colored decorative gravels can cost more and may have longer lead times. Choose color based on home style and practicality: darker stones hide tire marks, lighter stones brighten spaces, and samples from your supplier help set expectations.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Wilkesboro; we do not operate branded trucks. Typical lead time on the platform is 2+ business days for standard delivery, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many local deliveries are free or included in the per-ton price, but fees vary by supplier, distance, and whether spreading is requested; check your quote or call our team for specific local options and scheduled dates.
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.
