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.
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.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Zebulon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Zebulon is a growing community of 28,910 residents within a wider West North Carolina metro that supports 2.3+ million people. A steady growth rate of 2.80% annually points to predictable, sustained demand for new homes, renovations, and yard projects rather than a sudden boom — which means homeowners and contractors are planning more projects over time and need reliable access to bulk materials. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and conditions in hardiness zone 8b, the climate offers a long exterior work season but also produces alternating wet and dry periods that affect material performance. That combination increases the importance of locally sourced aggregates, soils, and mulch blends that balance drainage, stability, and plant health while matching regional geology and color. Local soils and seasonal moisture cycles create specific demands on material selection: products must help manage runoff, limit erosion, and compact properly for driveways and paths, while still supporting planting beds and landscape features through hot, sunny stretches. The mild winter conditions of zone 8b reduce some freeze-related concerns but reinforce the need for materials that perform through wet-dry cycles. Hello Gravel simplifies those choices by connecting homeowners to local suppliers, providing transparent pricing, quantity calculators, and scheduled delivery so you get the right materials for your Zebulon project when you need them.Popular Projects in Zebulon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Zebulon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Zebulon.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers. Typical ballpark ranges in the Zebulon area are about $12 to $65 per ton or $25 to $90 per cubic yard, with flat delivery fees commonly from $50 to $200 depending on access and truck routing. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show exact pricing for your zip code (27597) at checkout.
Spring and early fall are the busiest and generally best times for outdoor projects because of milder, drier weather. Summer thunderstorms and wet winters in Zebulon can cause delays and site compaction issues, so plan ahead and allow extra lead time during peak season. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Zebulon’s humid subtropical climate and local soils (often clay-rich in parts of Wake County) make drainage a key concern. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage where needed and avoid putting fine materials over poorly drained soils without a proper base. For sloped sites or areas with runoff, specify permeable layers and compacted bases to reduce erosion and settling.
Deliveries are typically made with dump trucks (commonly tri-axle) that need room to turn and a straight, reasonably firm approach to the drop point. Plan for at least a 10 to 12-foot-wide access and check for low overhead wires, soft driveways, or narrow gates; some properties may require smaller trucks or additional handling. Optional services like tailgate spreading, bobcat spreading, or haul-away are sometimes offered but depend on supplier availability and are not guaranteed.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth in inches, then compute volume: area x depth gives cubic feet; divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Add 10% to 20% for compaction and waste depending on the material and site conditions. Example: a 20 ft x 10 ft driveway at 4 in depth = (20x10x4)/12 = 66.7 cubic feet = 2.5 cubic yards, so order roughly 2.8 to 3.0 cubic yards.
Material choice depends on function: stable, coarse mixes are good for driveway base; compactable fills help with grading; well-draining mixes work for walkways and beds where runoff is a concern. When choosing between options like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone, consider load-bearing needs, drainage requirements, and desired appearance. If unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact our team for guidance tailored to your project.
Possibly. Check local Zebulon and Wake County regulations for driveway cuts, curb permits, stormwater or erosion control requirements, and any septic or utility restrictions. Many HOAs have rules on driveway materials or visible landscaping, so review covenants before ordering large visible loads. Also have utilities located before digging or heavy grading work.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and when it can be done safely; request this at checkout but expect no guarantees. Bobcat spreading, full-site spreading, or haul-away of old material are often available from local suppliers for an additional fee and should be scheduled in advance. Confirm scope and pricing before the delivery day to avoid surprises.
Lifespan depends on use and maintenance: driveway aggregates can last several years to decades with proper base preparation and periodic grading, while surface dressings and mulch often need replenishing every 1 to 5 years. Regular maintenance like regrading low spots, adding material after heavy storms, and ensuring good drainage extends service life. In Zebulon’s climate, addressing erosion and standing water quickly prevents accelerated deterioration.
Yes, some local suppliers and contractors in the West North Carolina metro area offer recycled products such as reclaimed concrete, crushed asphalt, or recycled base material. Availability and suitability vary by supplier and project, so request material specs and inspect samples before ordering. Reclaimed options can lower costs but check for contaminants and confirm compaction and drainage performance for your use.
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.
