Why Farmington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Farmington, with a city population of 2,820, sits inside a broader regional market that benefits from a metro area population of 2.6+ million. A steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to consistent, ongoing demand for repairs, additions, and new landscaping rather than a short-term boom—meaning homeowners and contractors regularly need reliable supplies for maintenance and incremental projects. Local climate and geography — 228 sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b — influence which bulk materials perform best: projects must handle both seasonal wet spells and extended sunny periods, so drainage, erosion control, and surface durability matter. That creates routine demand for a range of materials (soil blends, sand, aggregates, and mulches) that balance load-bearing, permeability, and planting support. For Farmington homeowners, accurate quantities, regional sourcing, and scheduled delivery make it practical to source the right materials when a project window opens.Popular Projects in Farmington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Farmington Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Farmington.
Choose materials based on use, drainage needs, and how the surface will be finished. For load-bearing areas like driveways pick materials that compact well and shed water; for planting beds prioritize good drainage and organic-friendly top layers. We recommend considering a combination of gravel, sand, dirt, stone to meet performance and aesthetic goals, and using our material quiz or sales team to match choices to your project.
In Farmington’s climate, prioritize materials with good drainage and frost resistance to limit frost‑heave and winter ruts. Well-graded mixes that compact and allow water to pass through are generally better than fines that hold moisture. Expect regional variations in color and texture, and plan for extra compaction and drainage work where seasonal freezing is a concern.
Material weight and volume vary by type and moisture, so convert using our online calculator or rule of thumb: many aggregates weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. Measure the area (length x width x depth) in feet to get cubic yards, then convert to tons if your supplier charges by weight. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction, grading losses, and to avoid a shortfall.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, delivery distance, access difficulty, and seasonal demand. Small orders and next‑day deliveries typically cost more per ton than larger batch deliveries. For an accurate, Farmington‑specific price enter your zip code at checkout, use the calculator, or contact our sales team for a tailored quote.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and serves Farmington (61531) and nearby zip codes—check availability with your zip at checkout. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next‑day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Remote addresses, narrow access, or special placement requests may incur additional charges or longer lead times.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely and efficiently. You can request spreading at checkout, but we do not guarantee this service. If precise placement or grading is required, plan for a contractor or rental equipment to finish the job.
Late spring through early fall is generally the best window for deliveries and installations to avoid frozen ground and frequent winter weather delays. Summer can be busy, so schedule early to secure preferred dates; for projects in early spring or late fall plan for possible delays from rain or frost. If you need work in winter, expect limited availability and potentially higher fees.
Sometimes. Local township, county, or HOA rules can affect driveway alterations, visible stockpiles, or drainage changes. Check with Farmington city hall, your township highway department, or your HOA before ordering, and mention any permit requirements to our team so we can note them on the delivery instructions.
Clear vegetation and organic topsoil from the work area, establish a stable subgrade, and install or maintain proper drainage away from structures. Use well‑draining base layers and consider geotextile fabric where soils are soft or wet. Proper compaction in lifts and attention to surface slope are key to long‑term performance in Farmington’s climate.
Plan for delivery fees (if applicable), spreading or spreading labor, grading, compaction, permit fees, and disposal of existing materials. Equipment rental or contractor rates for finishing work can add to the total, especially for small residential projects. Ask for a complete project estimate to compare material costs to installation expenses.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly through customer service with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it. See our help pages for refund or dispute procedures and timelines.
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.
