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.

Why Winston-Salem Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Winston-Salem is a city of 250,000 residents located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, sitting inside a metro area of 675,000 that is growing steadily at 0.90% annually. With a temperate climate (215 sunny days per year) and hardiness zone 7b, the local housing market sees consistent renovation and new-build activity that drives steady demand for aggregates. Homeowners here frequently tackle projects such as driveway upgrades, patio beds, French drains, and erosion control that all rely on quality gravel for long-term performance. As neighborhoods expand and outdoor living spaces become a priority, Winston-Salem property owners need materials that handle seasonal wet periods and provide reliable compaction and drainage.Popular Projects in Winston-Salem This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Winston-Salem gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Winston-Salem.
Costs vary by gravel type, quantity, and supplier in Winston-Salem. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 tons, and a full truckload can range widely in price depending on stone type and delivery; contact Hello Gravel for a local quote. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery timing is usually 2+ business days unless you select next-day (additional fee).
It depends on depth. For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8.6 tons); at 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 13 tons). Use our material calculator or call our team to get a precise recommendation for your Winston-Salem site.
Coverage depends on depth and gravel density, but a good rule is one ton covers about 100 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Heavier depths reduce coverage proportionally, so at 3 inches one ton covers closer to 65-70 sq ft. Local stone density varies, so use the calculator or ask our team for a site-specific estimate.
Prices vary by material type and supplier, but 2 cubic yards is commonly around 2.6–3.2 tons (most crushed stone is about 1.3–1.6 tons per cubic yard). Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons (about 2.1–2.3 cubic yards), so check availability before ordering and request a local quote for up-to-date pricing. Delivery and optional services like tailgate spreading may affect final cost.
Cost depends on the driveway width, depth, and material. For example, a 20x20 ft (400 sq ft) area at 3 inches needs about 5.2 tons of gravel; material and delivery could range from a few hundred dollars to more depending on stone type and finishing needs. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a local quote for an accurate price tailored to Winston-Salem conditions.
For light foot or garden paths, 2 inches can be okay, but for a vehicle driveway we recommend at least 3–4 inches of compacted gravel over a stable base. Winston-Salem’s freeze-thaw cycles and clayey Piedmont soils can cause movement, so a thicker base or a layer of larger, angular stone is often advised for durability. Ask our team about specific recommendations for your site and traffic level.
Buying bulk from local suppliers through a delivery service like Hello Gravel is typically cheaper per ton than buying bagged stone from retail stores. To save, choose a locally sourced basic crushed stone, order the minimum number of deliveries (larger single orders reduce per-ton delivery cost), and schedule delivery to avoid busy windows that could add fees. Get multiple local quotes through our platform to compare options quickly.
It depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches needs about 13 tons of gravel. Provide your exact dimensions and desired depth to Hello Gravel for a precise tonnage estimate.
A 20x20 ft driveway (400 sq ft) at 2 inches requires about 3.5 tons, and at 3 inches about 5.2 tons. Material-only costs vary by stone type and supplier; delivery and optional spreading can add fees, so expect a material-plus-delivery estimate rather than a single flat price. Use our online calculator or request a local quote for current pricing.
Capacity depends on the side height, but a 7x14 trailer typically holds roughly 5 to 7 cubic yards of material. If you need exact loading limits, check the trailer’s side height and manufacturer rating, and consider weight limits when hauling dense stone. Hello Gravel delivery trucks are sized and loaded to meet local weight rules and your order size.
A well-built gravel driveway can function for many years, but it usually needs periodic maintenance such as grading and topping up. In Winston-Salem’s climate, expect to add 1–3 inches of fresh gravel every 3–7 years depending on traffic and drainage; heavy use or poor drainage shortens that timeline. Proper base preparation and drainage help extend lifespan significantly.
Coverage depends on depth: 10 cubic yards will cover about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches deep and about 1,080 sq ft at 3 inches deep. In weight, 10 cubic yards is roughly 14 tons (depending on stone density). Ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific calculation and delivery options in Winston-Salem.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; a typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet. That means one yard of gravel is roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads, depending on your wheelbarrow size. For larger jobs in Winston-Salem, professional delivery is usually faster and safer than hauling by wheelbarrow.
A full-size pickup bed typically holds about 1/2 to 3/4 cubic yard of loose gravel safely, so one cubic yard often exceeds safe capacity unless you use side extensions or allow overloading. Overloading a pickup risks damage and can violate weight limits, so for safety and convenience use delivery for a cubic yard or more. Hello Gravel can deliver directly to your Winston-Salem site and advise on safe loading.
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.
