Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Marrero, LA

Choose materials based on traffic, drainage, and maintenance needs. In Marrero's climate, homeowners and contractors often select well-draining aggregates for stability and rake-friendly surfaces; typical choices include gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group depending on the look and function desired. Consider edging and a proper base to prevent spreading and rutting, and use our material calculator or sales team for specific recommendations.

Marrero's humidity and heavy rain events increase the importance of drainage and erosion resistance. Pick aggregates that shed water and compact well, and consider geotextile underlay or a thicker base where standing water or flooding is possible. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary, so plan for local variation when ordering.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on a depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using our material calculator for the most accurate result. As a rough rule, many general aggregates cover about 80-100 square feet at 1 inch of depth, but coverage varies by material density. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons; contact our team if you need help with exact quantities.

Plan deliveries outside of known heavy-rain periods and tropical storm season when possible, and aim for dryer days to make spreading and compaction easier. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. We recommend checking the forecast and allowing flexibility in your schedule for weather-related delays.

Price depends on the material chosen, quantity ordered, distance from the local supplier, site accessibility, and requested delivery speed or special services. Next-day delivery and difficult drop locations can add fees, while many orders qualify for free standard delivery depending on the supplier and zip code. Use our checkout to see transparent pricing for your zip code and material.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, and drivers will assess safe drop locations on arrival. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Note any access limits, overhead lines, gates, or soft lawns in the Order Notes so drivers and suppliers can plan appropriately.

Some projects like driveway extensions, curb cuts, or major grading may require city or parish permits or HOA approval, so check with the Jefferson Parish building department and your HOA before ordering. Smaller yard projects often do not require permits, but rules vary by neighborhood. If you are unsure, contact our team or a local contractor to confirm requirements before scheduling delivery.

Materials that promote infiltration and resist erosion work best; use free-draining aggregates and combine them with proper grading, swales, or raised beds to move water away from structures. Installing a stable base with geotextile fabric and layered materials can reduce washing and maintain surface stability during heavy rains. For larger drainage solutions, consult a licensed contractor or engineer to design a system suited to your property.

Smaller projects like topping a pathway or creating a simple garden bed are often good DIY projects and can save money, while larger jobs involving grading, drainage, heavy compaction, or permits are typically better handled by contractors. Contractors can manage large deliveries, equipment, and regulatory requirements more efficiently. Get multiple quotes and compare labor, materials, and timeline to decide which route fits your budget and skill level.

Natural materials sourced locally can vary in color, texture, and particle size, so some variation from photos is normal. Take photos of the delivery and contact our customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to address the issue according to our policies. Keep order details and delivery notes handy, and refer to our refund and resolution process if needed.

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