Why Pleasant Plains Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pleasant Plains is a small but active community with a population of 2,460, situated within a broader region that supports steady development. A growth rate of 1.20% annually signals gradual but consistent demand for home improvements, new construction, and infrastructure upkeep—projects that rely on reliable bulk materials. Local climate factors—228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—shape what homeowners need from aggregates and soils: materials that manage water effectively, stand up to regular sun exposure, and support plantings appropriate for milder winters. Across yards and job sites this means more interest in good drainage, stable base layers for hardscapes, and topsoil and mulches that retain moisture without impeding runoff. As building and landscaping trends in the area emphasize outdoor living spaces, permeable surfaces, and low-maintenance gardens, access to the right quantity and quality of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone becomes increasingly important.Popular Projects in Pleasant Plains This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pleasant Plains Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pleasant Plains.
Choose materials based on function: load-bearing uses (like driveways) need more compactable, larger-graded aggregates, while decorative beds and pathways can use finer, aesthetic mixes. Consider drainage, maintenance, and appearance when choosing gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group, and ask about local variations so the material suits Pleasant Plains' climate and soil.
Pleasant Plains experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that can shift loose materials and affect compaction, so drainage and proper base preparation are important. Local soil types and regional sourcing mean gravel, sand, dirt, stone can vary in texture and color, which affects stability and how often you may need to regrade or top up materials.
Spring through early fall is usually best to avoid frozen ground and heavy rain that can delay work or make compaction difficult. Winter deliveries are possible but can be slower and subject to weather-related access issues, so plan extra time and check availability before scheduling.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth in inches, then convert: area x depth ÷ 324 = cubic yards. To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply by material-specific density—use our online calculator or contact our team for an estimate since gravel, sand, dirt, stone all have different weights.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders typically start at about 3 tons; materials are delivered by dump truck (commonly tri-axle), and full delivery details and pricing depend on your zip code and site access.
Yes, many local suppliers and haulers serve both residential and nearby rural addresses, but access limitations like narrow roads, low-hanging wires, or soft ground may affect where trucks can safely dump. If you have a tight driveway or remote site, note access details in Order Notes so the driver and supplier can prepare.
Some projects—such as changing driveway location, adding large amounts of fill, or altering drainage—may require city or county permits or HOA approval. Check with Pleasant Plains city hall or the relevant county office before ordering to avoid delays or required removals.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color may vary from photos. Contact our customer service promptly with photos and order details; we will work with you and the supplier to resolve issues according to our policies and the supplier's terms.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and when conditions allow, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival.
Pricing depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and seasonal demand; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes including delivery fees where applicable. Return and warranty policies vary by supplier—contact customer service for details and review supplier terms before purchase for information on exchanges, pickups, or credits.
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.
