Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Scottdale, GA

Homeowners in Scottdale typically look for common aggregates such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for tasks like driveways, garden beds, base layers, and drainage. These materials come in different sizes and grades; choose based on function (drainage, support, or finish) rather than appearance alone. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from supplier to supplier.

Pick materials based on the job: structural projects need compactable, angular aggregates for support, while surface layers prioritize appearance and traction. For drainage features choose coarser, free-draining material; for planting beds use mixes that improve soil structure. Consider local soil conditions and expected traffic when deciding, and use our material quiz or sales team for guidance.

Estimate volume in cubic yards using (area in square feet x depth in feet) / 27, then convert to tons using the material-specific range shown in our calculator (1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard is a typical estimate). Example: a 10 ft by 50 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 4.6 cubic yards. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and a material calculator to help you fine-tune quantities.

Scottdale is in a humid, warm region where heavy rains and clay-prone soils can affect drainage and settling. Choose materials that promote drainage for wet spots and use denser, well-graded aggregates where compaction and load-bearing are needed. Expect regional variations in color and texture due to local geology, and plan for erosion control in steep or exposed areas.

Spring and early summer are popular for landscaping and paving, so lead times can be longer during those months; late fall and winter can be better for deliveries with fewer scheduling conflicts but watch for wet ground. Avoid placing and compacting base materials when the ground is saturated after heavy rain. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and should schedule early for busy seasons.

Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel works with local haulers using dump trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion; request this at checkout but know it is not guaranteed. Delivery windows depend on local supplier availability, site access, and weather.

Pricing varies by material type, quantity, and distance from the supplier; our platform shows transparent pricing before you check out. Large orders often reduce per-ton costs, and some areas may qualify for free delivery—check your zip code during ordering. Contractors can request quotes for repeat or bulk needs through our sales team.

Most local suppliers will deliver to residential addresses, but trucks require clear access, adequate turning space, and a firm surface for dumping. Prepare by moving vehicles, marking sensitive areas, and noting any overhead wires or low-hanging branches in Order Notes. If street parking or permits are required, secure those in advance since haulers cannot obtain permits for you.

Small jobs like topping garden beds or spreading a few cubic yards are commonly done by homeowners, while larger projects that require grading, compaction, precise drainage, or permitting are often handled by contractors. Contractors also speed up large deliveries and can manage disposal and site prep. If you are unsure, our team can help estimate labor needs and quantities for both DIYers and pros.

Permits and rules can affect driveways, curb cuts, and major grading work, and requirements vary between Scottdale and DeKalb County. Check local city and county offices or your HOA before ordering if your project changes public right-of-way or alters drainage. Hello Gravel recommends confirming any permit needs before finalizing large orders to avoid delays or extra costs.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
