Why Jefferson County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jefferson County serves a community of 37,947 residents and sits within a larger metro region of 2.5+ million people, a context that drives steady demand for home improvement and small-scale construction. A local growth rate of 3.30% annually means more renovations, new driveways, and outdoor living upgrades as homeowners keep pace with expanding neighborhoods. The area's climate—about 152 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a need for materials that handle both wet periods and long sun exposure. For Jefferson County projects, that translates into a balanced mix of drainage-friendly aggregates, stabilizing base materials, and top layers that resist erosion and fading. Homeowners are looking for reliable, locally sourced bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that perform well over time and reduce maintenance.Popular Projects in Jefferson County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jefferson County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Jefferson County.
Jefferson County experiences freeze-thaw cycles and wetter periods in spring and late fall, which can make sites muddy and slow installation. Scheduling deliveries during drier months (late spring through early fall) reduces tracking and compaction issues, but deliveries can still be arranged year-round with extra planning. Expect longer lead times after heavy rain or during busy spring weekends.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Peak seasons (spring and early fall) often fill schedules faster, so plan ahead and choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. If your project is time-sensitive, contact our team to confirm supplier and truck availability.
Costs vary by material type, local availability, and delivery distance. As a rough estimate, expect anywhere from about $15 to $70 per ton or $25 to $90 per cubic yard depending on the product, quantity, and access; rural deliveries or long hauls may increase fees. These are ballpark figures—get a live quote through the site for a precise price.
Many local suppliers deliver throughout Jefferson County, including rural addresses, but access can affect feasibility and cost. Narrow roads, long driveway pulls, gates, or required backing can add extra fees or require alternate drop locations. Provide clear access details in your order notes so we can match the right truck and driver.
Local rules vary by municipality and road authority; some roads or bridges have weight limits and some cities require permits for heavy trucks or driveway work. Check with Jefferson County or your town government if you have an unusually long or heavy delivery, and note any HOA or property restrictions. We can help flag potential issues, but customers are responsible for confirming permits when required.
Choose materials based on drainage needs, expected traffic, and slope. For stable surfaces and drainage in freeze-thaw conditions, use a layered approach: a compactable base material and a well-draining surface material; gravel, sand, dirt, stone selection depends on whether you need compaction, drainage, or surface stability. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team to match options to your project and local conditions.
Small projects like garden beds or walkways often need 0.5 to 3 cubic yards, small patios 5 to 15 cubic yards, driveway resurfacing 10 to 30 cubic yards, and new driveways 30 to 80 cubic yards depending on length and depth. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, and it is helpful to measure length, width, and desired depth before ordering to get an accurate estimate. Use our material calculator to convert your measurements into tons or cubic yards.
Homeowners often use heavier stone mixes for concentrated channel protection, and sand or dirt for regrading and filling low spots, while gravel can stabilize walking areas and slopes. The right combo depends on slope, runoff patterns, and existing soil types, so choose materials that improve drainage and resist washout. Consider adding vegetation or erosion-control fabric as part of a combined approach.
Local soils can range from clayey to loamy; clay soils hold water and drain slowly, which affects compaction and surface stability. On clay or poorly drained sites, prioritize materials that improve drainage and avoid fine materials that can compact into impermeable layers. Slope and local runoff patterns also matter—steeper sites may need larger stone or engineered solutions to control erosion.
Clear the delivery area of cars, debris, and low-hanging branches and mark preferred drop locations with flags or cones. Deliveries are typically by contracted tri-axle dump trucks; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Leave accurate contact information and any gate codes in your order notes to avoid delays.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier to handle before the supplier processes or dispatches the truck. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes may not always be possible and could incur fees. For quotes, order changes, or delivery questions call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.
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.
