Why Waterloo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Waterloo is home to 16,890 residents and sits within a broader metropolitan region of 2.6+ million people — a combination that supports steady local demand for home improvements and new construction. With a growth rate of 1.20% annually, development is gradual but consistent, which means homeowners and contractors are increasingly focused on durable upgrades rather than one-time fixes. The local climate — 228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — favors year-round landscaping and building work but also shapes material choices. In practice this means projects need materials that balance drainage and stability, resist UV exposure and weathering, and support planting and erosion control. Homeowners in Waterloo are choosing a mix of base aggregates, soils, mulches, and surface materials to manage runoff, create usable outdoor spaces, and reduce maintenance over time.Popular Projects in Waterloo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Waterloo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Waterloo.
Customers in Waterloo commonly order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for landscaping and construction projects. These materials are used for driveways, patios, drainage work, backfill, grading, and topdressing. Availability and exact texture or color can vary with local geology.
Delivery zones and fees depend on your zip code and distance from the local supplier and hauler. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing at checkout for most addresses; many customers in-city receive free delivery, while remote or long-haul drops may incur an extra fee. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks.
Waterloo's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs make timing and material choice important—well-draining aggregates help reduce frost heave and standing water. Many homeowners schedule grading, base work, and major deliveries in late spring through early fall when ground conditions are drier. For winter projects, plan for access and possible delays due to frozen or snow-covered sites.
Standard delivery is generally 2 or more business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You will receive a delivery confirmation and an expected delivery window, but exact arrival times can vary due to local traffic and weather. Drivers are contracted local haulers and may call before arrival.
Choose materials based on purpose: stable, angular aggregates work well as a base under driveways; finer, compactable materials suit leveling and patios; open, well-draining mixes are better for drainage projects. Consider local frost and drainage conditions, expected load, and maintenance needs, and use the aggregate quiz or our team for guidance. Ordering a test small delivery or viewing local installations can help confirm appearance and performance.
Local prices vary by material type, quantity, and delivery distance, so averages can be misleading. The fastest way to get an accurate price is to enter your zip code on our site or request a quote—our checkout shows per-ton and per-cubic-yard pricing and any delivery fees. We also offer a material calculator to help estimate quantities and costs for your project.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and exact location; driveway expansions, major grading, or changes within a public right-of-way often require permits or approvals from the city or county. Always check with Waterloo city building or public works departments and call 811 before digging to locate utilities. If you plan to contract installation, many contractors will help confirm permit needs.
Homeowners usually prioritize experience with local soil and weather, reliable timelines, proper equipment, proof of insurance, and clear written estimates. They also look for references and examples of similar projects in the area. Ask potential contractors about how they handle deliveries, site access, and clean-up before hiring.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then use an online calculator to convert cubic feet to cubic yards or tons; Hello Gravel's calculator can estimate quantities based on depth and material type. Keep in mind compaction and waste—add 5 to 10 percent for spreading and grading, and remember our 3-ton minimum order. Contact our team for help with calculations if you are unsure.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is dispatched to the supplier and hauler. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but adjustments may be limited once the truck is scheduled, and fees or processing restrictions may apply. For delivery problems or quality concerns, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
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!
