3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Fill Dirt

Why Wilsons Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wilsons Mills is a small but active community (city population: 608) experiencing steady expansion that affects local building and landscaping needs. A regional growth rate of 2.80% annually means more homes and incremental development, which drives demand for reliable bulk materials for yards, driveways, and small construction projects. The area's climate—an average of 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a balance of sunny workdays and significant seasonal moisture. That mix favors materials that manage water well, resist settling after heavy rain, and support plantings that thrive in zone 8b. For homeowners, this translates into choosing the right quantities and grades of aggregates, topsoil blends, and mulch to control drainage, reduce erosion, and establish planting beds that perform through wet springs and warm, sunny summers. Local climate and soil characteristics mean materials perform differently here than in drier or colder regions. Soils that retain moisture combined with frequent sun can require mixes and grades selected for compaction, permeability, and long-term stability; for example, drainage layers and coarser aggregates help prevent standing water, while finer topsoils support turf and garden beds. Homeowners should consider how load-bearing surfaces, grading, and plant choices interact with local weather patterns. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who understand these regional conditions and can recommend suitable bulk materials, quantities, and delivery timing so projects run smoother and last longer.Popular Projects in Wilsons Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wilsons Mills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wilsons Mills.
Homeowners in Wilsons Mills often order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, garden beds, and drainage projects. Choose materials based on function: base and drainage layers need angular crushed stone, while top surfaces may use rounded gravel or decorative stone. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project.
Warm, humid summers and heavy rain make drainage and erosion control top priorities in Wilsons Mills. Pick materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist washout, such as well-graded stone, proper base layers, and geotextile fabric. Regular maintenance after heavy storms helps preserve surface materials and extends their life.
Estimate volume in cubic yards using length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27, then add 5-10% for compaction and waste. For example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway with a 4 inch depth needs about (12*50*0.33)/27 ≈ 7.3 cubic yards before adjustments. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate.
Conversion depends on material density, but a common rule of thumb is about 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 to 1.5 tons for many aggregates. Exact conversion varies by material and local geology, so check the product details or ask our team for the most accurate conversion for your order. When in doubt, order slightly more to allow for compaction and waste.
Standard delivery in most areas requires 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel typically delivers via tri-axle dump trucks with a minimum order of 3 tons. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees.
Many suppliers and local contractors provide installation and compaction services, but material delivery and installation are usually booked separately. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and can flag installation needs, but you should confirm scope, pricing, and availability directly with the provider. If you need referrals, our team can suggest local contractors in the area.
Pricing depends on material type, local availability, haul distance, truck access, and seasonal demand. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, which influences cost. For an accurate price, enter your zip code on our site or request a quote—Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and any delivery fees up front.
Permitting and HOA rules can affect driveway ties, curb cuts, stormwater management, and visible landscaping changes in Wilsons Mills and Johnston County. Always check with Johnston County planning and your HOA (if applicable) before ordering materials for projects that alter drainage or public right-of-way. When in doubt, call your local permitting office for requirements and setback rules.
Effective erosion control usually combines proper grading, geotextile fabric, and stable aggregates such as well-graded crushed stone or rock used in filter layers and swales. Sand and finer materials can be useful as filter media but are more susceptible to washout if not contained. For steeper slopes or concentrated flows, consider terraces, retaining edges, or planting groundcover to reduce runoff velocity.
Spring and fall are typically the best times for delivery and installation because conditions are milder and ground is easier to work with. Summer storms in Wilsons Mills can delay work or cause washouts, and very wet winter or early spring conditions can limit access for heavy trucks. Book deliveries in advance for peak seasons to secure preferred dates.
Clear a safe access route for the dump truck and mark the desired drop-off area; ensure overhead lines and soft landscaping are protected. Provide clear instructions in Order Notes and confirm driveway and turnaround space for a tri-axle truck. If you expect tight access or need spreading, mention it at checkout so the driver can assess safety on arrival.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if you have concerns, contact Hello Gravel promptly. Order changes and cancellations are easier before the load is dispatched, so reach out as soon as possible and our team will do their best to accommodate you. For issues after delivery, contact customer service to discuss resolution options and consult our refund policy if needed.
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.
