Yes—Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve rural areas, but delivery depends on road conditions, bridge or weight restrictions, and safe truck access. Provide clear directions, gate codes, and an exact drop location when you order to help drivers reach your site. If access is limited, we can discuss smaller loads, off-road staging areas, or alternate delivery points.

Choose materials that match your use and local drainage: durable, angular stone and crushed aggregates work well for base layers that need compaction and load-bearing capacity, while finer materials or screened products are useful for leveling and top dressing. Consider local soil (clay or loam) and drainage—materials that promote runoff and resist rutting are often best. Ask our team or use the aggregate quiz to match materials to your driveway, patio, or yard project.

Plan deliveries for drier months when ground is firm—typically spring through early fall—so trucks can access the site and materials compact properly. Avoid very wet periods and freeze-thaw cycles that can make spreading and compaction difficult. Book ahead for busy seasons and remember next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Permit requirements vary by city, county, and homeowners association, so check with your local building or zoning office before starting work. Common rules include driveway permits, culvert or right-of-way approvals, grading permits, and wetlands or erosion controls. If you’re unsure, consult your local office or ask Hello Gravel for guidance on typical local requirements.

Possibly—some local suppliers in our network offer reclaimed or recycled aggregates and construction fill, but availability varies by area. If reclaimed materials are important for your project, request them in the product filter or order notes and confirm specs with the supplier. Keep in mind recycled products may behave differently and may need different compaction or placement methods.

Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to convert your project dimensions into an appropriate tonnage estimate—this helps avoid overbuying or running short. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and materials are delivered by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. If you need help estimating quantities, contact our sales team for guidance.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, low-hanging branches, and any obstacles and mark the exact location for the driver to help ensure a safe unload. Verify access for large trucks, note any gate codes or narrow approaches on the order, and confirm whether a permit is needed for blocking a public right-of-way. Communicate special instructions in Order Notes so your hauler arrives ready to complete the delivery.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
