Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Wood Village, OR

For driveways and pathways in Wood Village, a range of materials can work well depending on budget, look, and performance needs. Gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are commonly used in the area; gravel and crushed stone give good drainage and load-bearing while sand and compactable fills are useful for leveling and base layers. Choose material based on traffic (foot, car, heavy equipment), desired appearance, and how much maintenance you want to do over time.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth you need in inches, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 324). Our online material calculator and sales team can help with conversions and common depth recommendations for paths, driveways, and flower beds. Always add a 5-10% overage for compaction and waste.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and uses local dump truck fleets for delivery; delivery fees depend on distance, truck access, and order size. Requesting a preferred delivery date at checkout and checking your zip code helps confirm timing and any local charges.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. For a smooth delivery, clear an access route, mark obstacles, and provide a flat turn-around or staging area for tri-axle trucks. Tell us about tight access or sensitive surfaces in the Order Notes so haulers can plan.

In a rainy, temperate climate like Wood Village, choose materials that handle moisture and provide good drainage to avoid rutting and washouts. Permeable materials such as certain gravels and crushed stone perform better for driveways and paths, while heavy clay or loose fines may compact poorly and erode. Plan for proper base layers and grading to direct water away from structures and planting beds.

Permits and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and project scope; thicker structural work or curb cuts often require city or county permits. Check Wood Village and Multnomah County building codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering materials to avoid rework or removal. If you are unsure, our team can remind you to verify permits before scheduling delivery.

Late spring through early fall is generally the best time to install driveways, patios, and landscaping in Wood Village to avoid the wettest months and reduce weather delays. Winter and heavy-rain periods can slow delivery, compaction, and curing, and can increase erosion risk during installation. Plan ahead and use the checkout calendar to pick a date that avoids prolonged rainy periods.

Common issues include surface runoff, concentrated flow paths, and slope erosion due to frequent rain. Using well-draining aggregates, establishing firm base layers, installing swales or gravel-lined channels, and combining plantings with rock or stone edging can reduce erosion. Selecting angular, well-graded materials rather than fine, loose fills improves stability on slopes.

Tri-axle dump trucks are typical for deliveries, so allow for at least one truck-length turning radius and a solid surface to avoid bogging down. For tight or narrow access, note this in your order so suppliers can dispatch an appropriate truck or smaller load if available. Contractors should stage materials where they will be used to reduce handling and consider crew size and equipment for moving material off the truck.

Maintenance varies by material and use: permeable gravels often need occasional raking and additional topping, while compacted base layers may only need periodic patching and grading. Organic materials can decompose and need regular replenishment, while heavier stone and crushed aggregates are lower maintenance but may shift over time on slopes. Factor routine upkeep and occasional topping into long-term costs when choosing materials.

Many local suppliers and Hello Gravel partners can deliver small residential orders starting at our 3-ton minimum, which covers small walkways, raised beds, or spot repairs. Typical DIY projects include pathways (1-5 tons), small driveways or pad repairs (5-20 tons), and larger yard reshaping or drainage work that can exceed that. Contact our team for guidance on whether a small load will meet your project's needs and to get an accurate delivery plan.

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.
