Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Ammon, VA

Pricing is commonly quoted per ton or per cubic yard, with a separate delivery fee that can vary based on distance and site accessibility. Minimum orders are typical; Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons. Expect seasonal price fluctuations, extra charges for difficult access or permits, and transparent totals during checkout.

Spring through early fall is the most reliable window for deliveries and installations because of milder weather and fewer freeze-thaw cycles. Heavy winter freeze-thaw periods and rainy months can delay work and affect material performance, so plan projects with weather in mind and allow extra lead time. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for eligible orders placed before noon CST.

Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain can cause settlement, frost heave, and erosion if subgrade and drainage are not addressed. Choose materials and depths that allow good drainage and compaction, and consider a proper base layer for load-bearing areas. Regional sourcing means material texture and performance can vary, so factor local climate into selection and installation.

Check with your local county or town office about driveway permits, curb cuts, and any stormwater or erosion-control rules before starting work. If you have an HOA, review covenants for permitted materials, colors, and driveway dimensions. If in doubt, contact local authorities or request guidance from Hello Gravel before ordering.

Common issues include limited truck access, steep slopes, drainage patterns, overhead lines, and tight turning radiuses for dump trucks. These factors influence the type of material that will perform best and whether additional equipment or smaller deliveries are needed. Sharing site photos and access details at checkout helps suppliers provide accurate quotes and delivery plans.

Standard delivery windows are generally 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before the posted cutoff time, subject to truck availability. Same-day delivery is uncommon in rural or hilly areas and depends on local supplier capacity and road conditions. Weather, road restrictions, and site access can extend lead times, so book early during busy seasons.

A single-car driveway (10' x 20') at 4 inches of material is roughly 2.5 cubic yards, which often converts to about 3-4 tons; at 6 inches expect 4-6 tons. A 12' x 12' patio base at 2 inches is about 0.9 cubic yards (around 1-2 tons). Garden beds and raised beds vary, but a 100 sq ft area at 3 inches depth is roughly 0.9 cubic yards; remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional material density varies.

Pick materials based on the function: drainage needs permeable, angular aggregates; driveways need stable, compactable base mixes; decorative areas can use rounded or colored materials for appearance. Consider depth, compaction, and whether the area sees vehicle traffic or standing water. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and quiz, and add project details at checkout to get tailored recommendations.

Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need space to swing and park; identify a clear drop zone and protect paved surfaces as needed. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Notify drivers of obstacles, mark utilities, and be prepared for the driver to reassess on arrival for safety reasons.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes; modifications are easier before dispatch but may be possible afterward depending on supplier status. If there is an issue with the delivery or material, document it with photos and contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve it. Refunds and adjustments follow our policies, and our team will explain the next steps.

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.
