Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Columbia, TN

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers in Columbia and surrounding zip codes (check 38401). Use our website to see available materials, get upfront pricing, and schedule a dump-truck delivery; contractors can also order larger quantities through the same platform.

Cost depends on material type, local availability, and truck size. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 20 tons depending on material), and Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing per order so you can see exact cost for your zip code before you buy.

Bulk materials are commonly sold by cubic yard or by ton; weight per cubic yard varies by material density. To estimate needs, multiply the area (sq ft) by desired depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then use our material calculator or contact our team for help converting to tons.

Price varies with material type, local sourcing, seasonal demand, and delivery distance. Local geology in the Columbia area affects color and texture, so we recommend requesting a quote through the site to see up-to-date pricing for your zip code.

For small decorative or planting projects, bagged products can be convenient, but for most medium and larger jobs bulk delivery is usually less expensive per cubic yard because it eliminates packaging costs. Compare the total cost including delivery and handling to decide which option is right for your project size.

Most standard pickup beds carry about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard when full, depending on whether you can safely heap the load and the truck's payload capacity. For larger jobs, a dump truck delivery is more efficient and safer—use our calculator or call our team to avoid overloading your vehicle.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess upon arrival whether it can be done safely.

The ‘3-3-3’ guideline is a simple rule some people use: about 3 inches of depth for coverage, keep mulch a few inches away from tree trunks and foundation walls to avoid moisture issues, and refresh or check the layer every few years. Treat it as a flexible guideline—depth and refresh frequency can change with material type and local conditions in Columbia.

Spring and fall are generally the most favorable times for landscaping work in Columbia due to milder temperatures and better soil conditions. Avoid heavy rain periods and frozen ground; if you have a schedule constraint, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Estimate by area and depth: a typical garden bed might need 1 to 3 cubic yards, a short walkway 3 to 8 cubic yards, and a residential driveway 20 to 80+ cubic yards depending on length and base depth. Use our online calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a quick estimate tailored to Columbia conditions.

Many big-box stores offer pallet delivery for bagged products with varying fees and lead times, but policies differ by location. Hello Gravel specializes in bulk delivery by dump truck from local suppliers, which is often more efficient for larger, open-top loads and allows scheduling of a specific delivery date.

Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders start at about 3 tons; you select a preferred delivery date at checkout and receive a confirmation once a local hauler is scheduled.

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.
