Why Lima Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lima has a city population of 3,770 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.3+ million, with a steady annual growth rate of 0.40% that points to predictable, ongoing demand for residential upgrades and small-scale construction. That steady expansion means homeowners and local contractors are most often planning incremental projects—driveway repairs, drainage fixes, garden bed refreshes, and modest additions—rather than large building booms. Lima’s climate, with 228 sunny days per year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall, calls for materials that balance moisture management and sun exposure. For homeowners that means choosing mixes and grades that promote drainage, reduce erosion, and hold up to seasonal wetting and drying. Quality bulk materials—stone, sand, soil, mulch, and aggregates—matter here because they determine how long landscape work lasts, how well foundations and paths drain, and how healthy planted areas stay through both rain and sun.Popular Projects in Lima This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lima Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lima.
Start by matching material properties to the job: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance. For driveways and pathways you may prefer a compactable, well-draining aggregate; for topsoil or fill choose dirt blends suited to planting or grading. In Lima, regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request local photos or samples when possible.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using our online calculator or the site’s guidance. For irregular shapes, break the area into rectangles and add 5-10% for waste and compaction. If you need help, our team can review your measurements and suggest a safe ordering amount.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause movement and settling, so choose materials that drain well and compact properly to reduce frost heave. For base layers use aggregates that shed water; for top layers pick materials that resist breaking down under freeze-thaw. Proper grading and drainage are as important as the material itself in Lima's climate.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks and typically require clear access and a safe drop zone. Tell us about narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, or soft ground at checkout so we can match an appropriate hauler. We schedule standard delivery in 2+ business days and offer next-day for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Local rules vary, so check with Lima town offices or your municipality before ordering large deliveries that change grade or drainage. Some projects near wetlands, right-of-way, or conserved land may need permits. When in doubt, contact local planning or building departments and plan deliveries after approvals.
Think in terms of function: drainage generally needs coarser, free-draining aggregates; planting needs nutrient-bearing dirt or topsoil blends; load-bearing surfaces need well-graded, compactable material. Each group (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) has tradeoffs in stability, drainage, and appearance, so choose based on the primary function of the area.
Price depends on material type, quantity, local availability, and distance from supplier to Lima. Delivery fees can vary by truck access and job complexity; ordering larger quantities usually lowers per-ton cost. We show transparent pricing at checkout and can provide quotes that include material and delivery.
Many suppliers offer better pricing for larger orders and repeat commercial customers, and lead times can improve with advance scheduling. Contact our sales team to discuss volume pricing, standing orders, or project timelines. We will coordinate with local suppliers to secure competitive rates and reliable delivery windows.
You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will decide on arrival if it can be done safely and efficiently. Not all sites or truck types are suitable for spreading, and spreading is not guaranteed. To increase chances, provide good vehicle access, clear drop areas, and note any obstacles in Order Notes.
Maintenance depends on use: driveways may need periodic regrading and topping, planted areas may need organic amendments, and drainage areas may require occasional clearing. In freeze-thaw climates, expect some settling; plan to add material or recompact every few years for high-traffic areas. Choosing the right base and good drainage reduces long-term maintenance.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier before the order is dispatched or processed with suppliers. We will do our best to accommodate requests but changes may be limited once a truck is scheduled. Check the order confirmation for specific timing and contact info.
Provide details about driveway width, overhead clearance, surface firmness, preferred drop location, and any obstacles or permit requirements. Include photos or notes at checkout to help match the right truck and driver. Clear communication reduces delays and helps suppliers plan a safe, efficient delivery.
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.
