Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bunkie, LA

Homeowners in Bunkie commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, garden beds, patios, and erosion-control projects. Suppliers in West Louisiana typically offer base materials for structural work and finer topdressings for landscaping, so pick a material based on whether you need drainage, stability, or aesthetic cover. If you’re unsure, use an online material calculator or contact our team for guidance on the right blend for your project.

Bunkie’s humid subtropical climate means heavy rains and wet ground in spring and summer can delay deliveries and make installations harder. Schedule materials for drier months when possible, allow extra lead time during wet seasons, and plan grading or compaction after a dry spell for best results. For tight timelines, consider next-day delivery (if available) but expect weather to still affect on-site work.

Standard deliveries typically require at least 3 tons and are scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many orders have free delivery, but rates depend on your zip code and access conditions. Our checkout shows transparent pricing for your primary zip code (71322) and nearby areas, and you can choose a preferred delivery date.

Choose materials that promote good drainage and resist rutting in wet conditions—well-graded aggregates and stone bases are often used as structural layers, while coarser top layers improve runoff. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so look for material blends suited to local soils and confirm drainage performance with your installer. If you have heavy clay or poorly draining soil, ask our team for options that improve stability and water movement.

Measure the area in feet (length x width) and the desired depth in feet, then divide the total cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a material factor (about 1.3 tons per cubic yard is a common average) to estimate tons, and add 5-15% for compaction and waste depending on the job. If you’d like, use our online material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions for a quick estimate.

Contractors calculate material by area, depth, and compaction allowance, then price materials per ton or cubic yard and add hauling fees and labor hours. Labor costs reflect site access, grading, compaction, and any edging or finishing work; complex sites or those needing extra grading will raise labor charges. Ask for itemized estimates so you can compare material, delivery, and labor line items before starting work.

Yes, city codes and homeowners associations can restrict driveway materials, curb cuts, drainage changes, and visible landscaping choices, so check Bunkie city ordinances and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Stormwater and setback rules can affect where you place materials for erosion control or grading changes. When in doubt, contact your local permitting office or HOA and keep receipts and material specs in case documentation is requested.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site safety, access, and truck type. Request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess feasibility on arrival. For precise spreading, professional spreading or a dedicated crew is recommended, and you can schedule the delivery to coincide with installation.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible to change or cancel an order; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. If there’s an issue on delivery, report it promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it; see our refund policy for details on eligible situations. Keeping photos and notes about placement, access, or material condition will speed up issue resolution.

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.
