#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Riprap | Medium (12-24″)
Rip Rap (Erosion Control Rock) for Shoreline or other projects. Fast local delivery.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.

Why Dekalb County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dekalb County is home to 760,000 residents and is experiencing steady, modest expansion at about 0.25% annually—a growth pattern that typically drives a consistent demand for home renovations, yard upgrades, and smaller infill construction rather than a sudden building boom. In a climate with 216 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 49.09 inches, homeowners need materials that perform under both frequent sun exposure and substantial seasonal moisture. That means choosing bulk supplies that balance drainage, erosion control, and plant health: mixes and aggregates that shed water, soils and composts that retain moisture without staying waterlogged, and mulches or surface materials that resist UV breakdown. As local landscaping trends shift toward resilient, low-maintenance yards and storm-ready grading, having reliable access to quality bulk materials makes projects faster, more predictable, and better suited to local conditions.Popular Projects in Dekalb County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dekalb County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dekalb County.
Choose materials based on use, drainage, and appearance. For driveways and walkways in Dekalb County, select materials that compact well and shed water on sloped sites; combining a compactable base with a draining top layer often works best. Consider regional factors like humid climate and clay soils when picking materials, and consult our material calculator to estimate quantities.
Start by assessing slope, soil type, and water flow on your property. Use heavier, angular materials for high-traffic or high-flow areas and looser, permeable materials where infiltration is desired; geotextile and proper grading can improve performance. If you are unsure, our team can help match generic solutions to your drainage needs.
Avoid scheduling major deliveries and earthwork during heavy rain periods or when the ground is saturated; spring and fall are often most convenient for landscaping. Summer can work but expect hotter conditions and occasional storms, and winter work may be limited by wet, frozen, or muddy ground. Plan deliveries with weather windows in mind and allow flexibility for rescheduling if conditions change.
Yes, suppliers commonly deliver to residential addresses in Dekalb County, but deliveries depend on site access, local road restrictions, and whether large dump trucks can reach the drop zone. Confirm driveway strength, overhead obstructions, and any HOA or permit requirements before ordering. Use our checkout to select delivery date and add site notes for the driver.
Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days from order confirmation, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact timing depends on supplier availability, truck scheduling, and local conditions, so we send confirmation with expected delivery window. Allow extra time during busy seasons or after severe weather.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth in inches, then use an online calculator to convert cubic yards to tons based on material density. Our website offers a material calculator and guidance to help you estimate quantities for common projects. When in doubt, round up slightly to account for compaction and waste.
Permit and HOA rules vary across Dekalb County and can affect allowable materials, delivery times, and truck access. Check with your local municipality and HOA before ordering, and note any restrictions in your order so drivers can plan accordingly. Hello Gravel can help with scheduling but cannot waive local permit or HOA requirements.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and site conditions like tight access or required offloading services. Use our online quote tool to get transparent pricing for your zip code and project size, and factor in possible fees for next-day delivery or difficult access. Comparing material performance and long-term maintenance costs often saves money over time.
Dekalb County's humid climate and clay-rich soils can influence drainage and compaction, so choose materials and installation methods that address poor drainage and shrink-swell behavior. Adding a draining base, using permeable topping layers, and ensuring proper grading will improve longevity. Expect natural color and texture variation due to regional sourcing.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site conditions, and truck capabilities. Request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout so the driver can assess on arrival. For guaranteed spreading or landscaping work, consider hiring a local contractor.
Common projects include driveways, patios, garden beds, drainage trenches, and erosion control on slopes. Choose materials based on load requirements and drainage needs: stable, compactable mixes for driveways; permeable, decorative choices for garden beds and patios; and angular, larger materials for drainage and erosion control. Our team can suggest general material categories for each project type.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible with your order details; changes are easier to make before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on supplier and hauler schedules and cannot be guaranteed once the truck is en route. Review our order and refund policies for more details.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
