Why Fairmont Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairmont is home to 7,310 residents and sits within a growing regional economy; a steady 2.80% annual growth rate signals ongoing demand for home improvements, new driveways, and small-scale construction projects. That steady growth, combined with a moderate climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of rain, means homeowners increasingly need reliable bulk materials that stand up to both dry spells and seasonal moisture. In practical terms this drives demand for a range of aggregates and supplies—base materials for driveways and patios, topsoil and mulch for planting, sand for leveling, and erosion-control supplies for wetter periods. Because this area falls in hardiness zone 8b, landscaping projects often pair durable aggregates with plantings suited to mild winters, so sourcing the right blend of materials locally helps projects perform longer and require less rework.Popular Projects in Fairmont This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairmont Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairmont.
Start with the project's purpose: durability for driveways, fine grading for patios, or erosion control for slopes. Consider local drainage and how the material will be used, then pick a product with the right size and compaction characteristics. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project and local conditions.
Choose materials based on function: stable, compactable mixes for driveways; finer, well-draining mixes for walkways and patios; and larger, angular pieces or engineered mixes for erosion control. In this region, mixes sourced locally tend to perform well because they match local soils and climate. If you are unsure, request guidance at checkout and note your intended use so we can suggest suitable options.
Fairmont experiences periods of heavy rain and warm, humid summers, plus occasional winter freeze-thaw cycles that can cause settling or movement in loose materials. Plan major grading, compaction, and final paving for drier, milder months to reduce tracking and erosion. Allow extra time after wet weather for materials to settle before finishing work.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic yards, then use our online calculator to convert to tons and confirm the minimum order. Typical top layers are a few inches deep for walkways and several inches for driveways, but bases often require additional depth for stability. When in doubt, use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.
Account for access issues like narrow or unpaved driveways, low-hanging branches, tight turns, and local weight limits on rural roads. Provide clear delivery directions, gate codes, and a preferred placement location at checkout, and contact us in advance for sites that need special handling. Our dispatch team coordinates with local haulers to assess access and may suggest an alternative drop point if necessary.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days in many areas, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and location; free delivery is available in some zones. We will confirm timing and any fees during checkout without unexpected charges.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on site conditions and truck capability. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility upon arrival. No spreading service is guaranteed, so plan for possible additional labor or tools if you need a finished surface.
Local soils influence drainage and compaction: heavier, clay-like soils retain water and may need a coarser base, while sandy soils drain quickly and may require more fine material to lock in place. For areas with poor drainage, add a drainage layer or choose materials that allow water to pass through. If your property has standing water or slope issues, tell our team so we can suggest appropriate solutions.
Rules vary: small projects like adding a layer of surface material often do not require permits, but major changes to driveways, grading, or curb cuts may need city or county approval. Homeowners in HOAs should check bylaws for allowed materials, colors, and edging before ordering. When in doubt, contact Fairmont zoning or your HOA and let our team know if permits are required so we can coordinate timing.
Aim for spring or fall when weather is milder and soils are less saturated; avoid the wettest parts of the year and extreme summer heat if possible. Book deliveries in advance, especially during peak landscaping seasons, to secure preferred dates. If you need faster service, next-day delivery may be available if ordered before the cutoff time.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, texture and color can vary from photos or samples; this is normal for natural aggregates. If the material seems inappropriate for your project, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can assess options. Refer to our refund and resolution guidance for next steps.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. We will make our best effort to accommodate requests, but changes are subject to supplier and hauler schedules and may not always be possible. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timing.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
