Why Ghent Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ghent is a small Kentucky community with a city population of 1,050, located within a larger West Kentucky region anchored by Richmond and a metro area population of 2.7+ million. A steady 1.20% annual growth rate suggests gradual but consistent demand for housing, repairs, and landscaping—enough to keep local contractors and DIY projects active without the pressures of rapid boom development. Ghent's hardiness zone 8b climate, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall support year-round outdoor work but also create specific material needs: surfaces must handle warm, sunny periods and periodic heavy rain. That mix shapes choices across aggregates, topsoil, sand, mulch, and soils—homeowners commonly need durable base materials for driveways, erosion-resistant soils for sloped yards, and UV-stable surface coverings for beds and paths. Quality bulk materials reduce rework, improve drainage, and speed installation for both small yard upgrades and larger site preparation.Popular Projects in Ghent This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ghent Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ghent.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets and your checkout will show available delivery dates after you enter your zip code (41045).
Delivery fees and availability vary by supplier and distance from the local quarry or yard; many areas qualify for free delivery while others incur a fee. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and will show delivery costs and windows during checkout for your zip code. If you have unusual access needs or tight driveways, note them in Order Notes so the hauler can assess feasibility before dispatch.
Hello Gravel partners with a network of local suppliers and haulers; each partner sets its own delivery radius and schedule. When you enter your address and zip code (41045) we match you to suppliers that serve your area and confirm the delivery window. If you need deliveries outside normal radii or on county roads, we will communicate any extra fees or access requirements before processing the order.
In West Kentucky projects commonly use a mix of aggregates for structure and appearance; think broadly about gravel, sand, dirt, stone rather than a single product. Choose materials based on drainage needs, expected traffic, desired look, and maintenance—compacting base materials for driveways, using coarse aggregates for drainage, and finer materials for top dressing. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and quiz or contact the sales team for recommendations based on your project and site conditions.
Ghent experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain that can move or settle loose materials and affect compaction. For areas with wet soils or heavy runoff choose well-draining aggregates and consider a compacted base and geotextile fabric to reduce movement. Plan for periodic maintenance after freeze-thaw seasons and heavy storms to restore grade and drainage.
Start by measuring the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27). As a general rule, 1 cubic yard of common aggregates can weigh about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on material and moisture; use Hello Gravel’s online calculator for a project-specific estimate. Always order a small overage (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading losses.
Yes. Driveway permits, culvert requirements, and restrictions on deliveries to county roads can apply in Carroll County and other local jurisdictions. Check with Carroll County road or planning departments and your HOA if applicable before placing a large order, and tell Hello Gravel about any permit requirements or delivery restrictions so we can coordinate with the supplier and hauler.
Deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it in Order Notes—but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and access. The supplier or driver will confirm placement and may ask you to mark the drop zone to avoid damage.
Lifespan varies by material and use; a well-installed aggregate driveway can last many years with routine grading and occasional top-ups, while surface materials used for landscaping may need more frequent refreshing. Expect periodic regrading after heavy rains and seasonal repairs after freeze-thaw cycles, and plan for annual or biennial maintenance for high-traffic areas. Using proper base preparation and drainage reduces long-term upkeep.
Prices and availability can vary across the region because materials are sourced locally and reflect local geology and supplier inventories. Nearby towns may have slightly different delivery fees or material options, so it pays to compare quotes for your zip code (41045) and requested delivery date. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and multiple supplier matches so you can compare options before placing your order.
Due to regional sourcing, texture and color can vary from photos, and natural materials may not be an exact match; if something seems off contact Hello Gravel promptly and provide photos and the order number. We will work with the supplier to resolve the issue and explain next steps consistent with our policies. For urgent site problems, pause any spreading and document the delivery to help with 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.
