Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in French Settlement, LA

Choices depend on use: driveways need a stable, well-draining base while beds and paths can prioritize appearance and drainage. In French Settlement and surrounding West Louisiana, consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone as options and pick sizes and compaction levels based on traffic, slope, and drainage needs. Talk with our team or use the aggregate quiz to match a material to your specific driveway or landscape project.

Prices vary by material, haul distance, local supply, and seasonal demand, so local quotes are most accurate. Hello Gravel generally requires a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing at checkout; many areas qualify for free delivery but some rural or long-haul drops may incur extra fees. Enter your zip code to see availability and real-time delivery pricing.

Warm, humid summers and heavy rains can cause finer materials to wash out, promote vegetation, and increase compaction or rutting. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage and resist washout, such as coarser aggregates, proper grading, and adding a geotextile underlayment where needed. Regular maintenance after major storms helps prolong performance.

Most local suppliers and contracted haulers will deliver to rural addresses, but access, road conditions, and distance from the supplier can affect availability and fees. Expect potential extra charges for very long drives, narrow or soft driveways, or locations that require special equipment; we recommend checking delivery options for your zip code and noting access details at checkout. Our schedulers can advise on drop location and any access preparations to avoid surprises.

Avoid scheduling critical installs during the peak of the rainy season when heavy storms can delay delivery and make sites muddy. Cooler drier months are generally better for grading, compacting, and surface work, while early planning in spring and fall helps secure the best delivery windows. We offer standard 2+ business day delivery and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST if you need faster timing.

Low-lying yards, clay-rich soils, and areas with poor drainage mean you should prioritize materials and methods that improve stability and shed water. Using a compacted subbase, coarser surface materials, and drainage solutions like swales or a French drain will reduce rutting and erosion. Discuss your site conditions with our team so we can recommend materials that work with your soil and slope rather than against it.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on an appropriate depth, then use our online material calculator or ask our sales team to convert that volume into tons based on regional material density. Always order extra to allow for compaction and waste—typically 5% to 10% more for most jobs. Remember our 3-ton minimum when planning smaller projects.

Deliveries are made by local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) operated by contracted haulers; drivers will place material where safe and accessible, and tailgate spreading may be offered at their discretion. To avoid delays, clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, mark any underground utilities, and provide clear instructions in Order Notes. We cannot guarantee spreading or exact placement, but we coordinate with drivers to meet your needs when possible.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle shape will reflect local geology and can vary from photos. You can note color or texture preferences at checkout and request samples or guidance from our team, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If the delivered material seems significantly different from what you ordered, contact customer service so we can work toward a resolution.

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.
