Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Petersburg, TN

The right choice depends on load, drainage, and maintenance needs rather than one single product. For most Petersburg projects, homeowners and contractors compare options for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to balance stability, compaction, and runoff. Plan for a compacted base layer and a wearing layer; typical topcoat depths range from 2 to 4 inches for light use and 4 to 6 inches or more for driveways or heavier traffic. Contact our team with your driveway width and expected use for a tailored recommendation.

In Petersburg's heat, humidity, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles, choose materials that support drainage and resist washout. Use the right combination of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to stabilize slopes, improve soil drainage, or build paths—angular materials lock together better for erosion control while finer materials are useful for grading and leveling. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, expect natural variation and ask suppliers about local mixes that perform well in West Tennessee.

Costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, and truck size; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Many areas qualify for free delivery, but remote or difficult-access addresses can incur extra charges. Use our online quote tool or contact our team for an accurate estimate for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.

Yes—local suppliers and contracted truck fleets commonly deliver to both rural and residential locations in the Petersburg area. Accessibility matters: narrow roads, low-hanging wires, soft driveways, and tight turns can restrict dump truck access, so provide clear directions and photos if you have concerns. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if needed, but note drivers will assess safety and may decline if conditions are unsafe.

Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for driveways, grading, and planting because soils are easier to compact and the weather is milder. Summer projects are possible but heat and heavy rains can affect compaction and working conditions; winter delivery may be limited by freezing or wet roads. Schedule material delivery at least a few days in advance, and allow extra lead time during busy spring and fall seasons.

Measure the project area (length x width) and decide on a target depth to get volume in cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards or tons based on the material's density. For quick planning, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and desired depth for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone and we will help estimate quantities. Always add 5-10% for waste, compaction, and grading adjustments.

Those groups differ mainly by particle size and shape, which affects drainage, stability, and compaction. Gravel and stone provide strength and drainage for driveways and base layers; sand and finer dirt are useful for leveling, bedding, and improving soil grades. Choose materials based on the function you need—drainage, load-bearing, or finish appearance—and check regional mixes since local geology affects texture and color.

No, natural variation is normal because Hello Gravel sources locally and regional geology influences color, texture, and gradation. The delivered gravel, sand, dirt, and stone may differ from photos; include color or texture preferences in the Order Notes and contact customer service if you have concerns before the material is dispatched. We will work with suppliers to match your needs as closely as possible within local availability.

Clear a level drop zone with ample room for a tri-axle dump truck to maneuver and park, and remove vehicles, low branches, or obstacles that could block access. Tell the driver where to place materials and note any desire for tailgate spreading at checkout, but remember spreading is at the driver's discretion for safety reasons. If your address has access limits or you need special instructions, contact our team ahead of delivery and verify your zip code is in our service area.

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.
