Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Gresham, OR

Delivery fees depend on distance from the supplier, site access, truck size, and order quantity. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout; many orders qualify for free delivery while remote, steep, or tight-access sites may incur extra charges. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and next-day delivery is available for an additional fee if ordered within the cutoff time.

Choose materials based on load, drainage, and finish rather than a single product: a stable, well-compacted base combined with a suitable surface aggregate usually performs best. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes can be selected for strength, permeability, or appearance depending on whether the project is a driveway, patio, or garden path. For durable driving surfaces pick coarser, angular materials for compaction; for walking areas choose smoother, finer top layers.

Gresham receives significant rain and some freeze-thaw cycles, so materials and installation should prioritize drainage and stability. Use well-draining aggregates and proper grading to move water away from structures, and avoid high-organic dirt in load-bearing areas where it can soften. Good compaction and drainage features reduce frost heave and long-term settlement.

Installed costs vary widely based on project size, site prep, drainage needs, and labor rates. Material-only pricing via Hello Gravel reduces the materials portion of your bid, but you should get multiple local contractor estimates to see comparative labor and permit costs. Use our material calculator to estimate material quantities before seeking installation quotes.

Many local suppliers deliver throughout Gresham, but access constraints can affect service. Narrow streets, steep driveways, low-hanging utility lines, or soft turf may require smaller trucks, offload at the curb, or additional fees. Provide site details and photos at checkout or contact our team so we can match the right supplier and truck for your address.

Large changes to driveways, grading, or impermeable surface area can trigger city or county permits and stormwater requirements. Local rules vary by neighborhood and project scope, so check with Gresham Planning and Building or Multnomah County before starting work. If permits or drainage measures are needed, include those costs in your project plan and contractor bids.

Steep or uneven terrain increases erosion risk and requires materials and methods that resist movement. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone and reinforced layers can be combined with geotextile, terraces, retaining walls, or edging to stabilize slopes. Contractors typically specify heavier base materials, extra compaction, and additional drainage for sloped sites.

Late spring through early fall is the most reliable window for deliveries and outdoor work to avoid heavy rain and muddy conditions. Winter deliveries are possible but may face weather delays, wet ground, or limited spreading options. Schedule early, especially for busy seasons or large jobs, and select a preferred delivery date at checkout.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; common delivery trucks include tri-axles that carry roughly 12-15 tons, while smaller jobs may use single-axle or smaller local trucks. Truck size selection depends on site access, street limits, and desired drop location. If you need a smaller load or special placement, add notes at checkout and our team will coordinate an appropriate hauler.

Contractor bids typically break out material supply and delivery, grading and site prep, compaction, drainage measures, and final surface work. They may also include permit coordination, erosion control, and cleanup. Ask for line-item pricing so you can compare material-only costs from Hello Gravel with contractor-installed totals.

Start by defining use: load-bearing surfaces need stable, well-graded materials while garden beds or decorative areas prioritize appearance and drainage. Evaluate drainage, expected traffic, maintenance preferences, and local climate effects on material choice. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and contact our team for guidance based on your site and project goals.

Deliveries are typically dumped from the truck at the agreed drop zone; drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, mark preferred placement, and note any access constraints at checkout. If spreading is important, request it in your order notes and plan for possible additional labor.

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.
