Why Ghent Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a population of 2,780, Ghent is a small but steadily growing community—its 0.40% annual growth rate points to gradual, consistent demand for home improvements and modest residential development rather than sudden building booms. That steady growth means homeowners and local contractors are focused on durable, low-maintenance solutions that age well. Ghent's climate—about 228 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of rain annually in a USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates mixed needs: enough sun to favor drought-tolerant plantings and hardscaping, but enough rain to require reliable drainage, erosion control, and weather-resistant base materials. For projects from driveways and patios to raised beds and grading work, quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch, and topsoil) matter because they determine drainage, compaction, settling, and plant establishment. Local trends lean toward practical landscapes that balance stormwater management with seasonal planting, so sourcing materials that reflect Ghent’s local geology and climate is important.Popular Projects in Ghent This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ghent Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ghent.
Choose based on use, drainage, and appearance. For driveways, consider how much vehicle traffic you expect, whether you need good drainage in freeze-thaw conditions, and the look you want; gravel, sand, dirt, and stone all perform differently. Use our material quiz or contact our team for recommendations tailored to Ghent’s local soils and climate.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on depth, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a calculator. Hello Gravel’s online material calculator can do this for you, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. If you are unsure, send dimensions to our team for a quick check.
Ghent sees seasonal freeze-thaw and wet springs, so select materials that drain well and resist shifting in frost conditions. Slopes, soil type, and local geology affect compaction and stability, so consider drainage layers and denser aggregates for load-bearing areas. Our regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, which helps performance in your neighborhood.
Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You choose your preferred delivery date at checkout, and materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver’s discretion—request it at checkout but expect no guarantees.
Possibly, but access and site conditions matter. Narrow roads, low-hanging wires, steep driveways, or soft ground can require smaller trucks or additional handling and may add fees. Provide clear access notes and photos at checkout, and our team will coordinate the best delivery plan with the local hauler.
Some projects may require permits or approvals from the Town of Ghent or Columbia County, especially for driveway connections, curb cuts, or large commercial deliveries. Check local building and public works departments before ordering, and verify any homeowner association rules. If you need help, contact our team and we can advise on common local requirements.
Budget depends on material type, order size, delivery distance, site access, and whether you want spreading or compaction work. Get an online quote to see delivered pricing and ask about additional charges for tight access or specialty hauling. For installation costs, get estimates from local contractors if you need placement or compaction beyond delivery.
Yes. Winter deliveries can be restricted by snow and frozen ground, while spring deliveries can be messy on saturated soils and prone to rutting. Late spring through early fall is usually best for spreading and compaction, but we can still deliver year-round depending on conditions. Plan extra time and protection for deliveries during wet or icy seasons.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos or samples. If you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details; we will work to resolve issues per our policies. To reduce surprises, add color and size preferences in the Order Notes at checkout.
Yes. We provide a material calculator, an aggregate quiz, and a sales team that can suggest appropriate materials for common projects like driveways, patios, drainage, and landscaping. We connect you with local suppliers and haulers and can explain typical depths and uses for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. For installation or spreading, ask for contractor recommendations or request tailgate spreading at checkout knowing it is not guaranteed.
We serve Ghent (primary zip 12075) and surrounding zip codes when local suppliers and haulers are available. Availability depends on supplier coverage in the area, so enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to confirm delivery to your address. Regional sourcing means the materials will reflect local geology.
Local roads and bridges may have weight or seasonal load restrictions that affect large truck deliveries. If your street has restrictions or if you need a small truck to navigate, let us know when ordering so we can arrange appropriate equipment. Additional routing or smaller trucks can add to cost, so discuss access details with our team up front.
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!
