Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Indian Hills, KY

Choose materials that drain well and resist movement in freeze-thaw cycles common to Kentucky. Well-graded, angular aggregates on a compacted base typically perform better on clay soils, and you should consider using a geotextile if subgrade is soft. Consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group when comparing options, and match the material to expected traffic load and maintenance willingness.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth (in inches) of the area, then convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). Densities vary by material, so convert cubic yards to tons only after checking the material type or use Hello Gravel’s online calculator for a quick estimate. Always order a small overage (5-10%) for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Late spring through early fall usually offers the most reliable conditions for delivery and installation, with fewer freeze-thaw issues and less mud. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rain seasons or during winter freezes if possible, since wet or frozen ground can complicate spreading and compaction. Standard delivery requires at least 2 business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling partners that serve Indian Hills and surrounding West Kentucky zip codes, but availability can vary by material and location. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm service and pricing, and our team can help confirm delivery windows and any site access requirements. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets rather than company-branded trucks.

Account for property slope, runoff paths, and where water concentrates during storms; choose materials that promote infiltration where desired or durable surfaces where flow is concentrated. Edge restraints, proper grading, and using a base layer or geotextile can reduce erosion and migration of fines. Check local stormwater rules and design features like swales, catch basins, or permeable surfaces to manage runoff effectively.

Materials that are stable, well-graded, and properly installed on a firm base generally need the least upkeep. Regular maintenance is still helpful—simple tasks like regrading low spots, topping up high-traffic areas, and keeping drainage functioning will extend life. Compare options across gravel, sand, dirt, stone to balance appearance, durability, and maintenance needs for your specific yard use.

Freeze-thaw movement and clay-rich subsoils can cause settling, heaving, and rutting if layers are not properly prepared. Using well-draining materials, compacted base layers, and separation fabrics helps reduce movement and keeps surface materials stable through seasonal changes. Proper site prep and drainage are as important as material choice in minimizing long-term issues.

Local building departments, county stormwater rules, and HOA covenants can set limits on driveway materials, impervious coverage, setbacks, and visible finishes. Before ordering, check with Indian Hills city or county offices and your HOA for any permitting or design restrictions that apply to driveways, large deliveries, or material storage. If you’re unsure, our team can help point you to local contacts to confirm requirements.

Prices vary by material type, local supply, delivery distance, and season, so exact costs depend on your zip code and order size. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing in checkout based on local supplier rates and offers a quote tool to compare materials and delivery fees. For a precise estimate, enter your address or contact our team and ask about next-day options or volume pricing for larger projects.

Deliveries are made by dump trucks (typically tri-axle) operated by contracted haulers; you choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and receive confirmation before dispatch. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Make sure the driver has a clear, level drop zone and note any access restrictions or staging needs in your order notes.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there’s an issue on delivery, document it (photos and notes) and contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve it. Our refund and issue-resolution options are handled case by case, and our team can walk you through next steps.

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.
