Why Forest Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Forest Hill is a growing community with a city population of 58,330 inside a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.70% annually points to consistent residential infill and incremental construction rather than a sudden building boom, which means homeowners can expect ongoing demand for renovation, landscaping, and small-to-medium construction projects. Local climate—with 228 sunny days annually and 34.80 inches of rainfall—combined with hardiness zone 8b produces a mix of needs: materials must resist strong solar exposure, handle intermittent heavy rains, and support vegetation suited to the zone. That drives demand for reliable bulk supplies across the board—base materials and well-graded fill for driveways and foundations, drainage-friendly sands and gravels, topsoil and dirt for beds and grading, and organic mulches for plant health. In this environment, quality, consistency, and correct sizing matter because they directly affect durability, erosion control, and long-term performance of outdoor projects.Popular Projects in Forest Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Forest Hill Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Forest Hill.
Start by matching the material to the project: consider drainage, load-bearing needs, appearance, and maintenance. For most jobs, comparing gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group helps you weigh stability vs drainage and cost vs upkeep. Use a material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions and photos for tailored guidance.
Look for materials and assemblies that balance drainage and stability—permeable mixes and well-compacted bases handle heavy rain better while resisting washout. Heat and drought generally affect vegetation and organic mulches more than inert aggregates; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. Plan for erosion control and proper slope to direct water away from structures.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons: most materials fall roughly in the range of 1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on density. Always allow a small overage (5-10%) for compaction, grading, and waste. Use our online calculator or send measurements to our team for a quick estimate.
Spring and fall are often the easiest seasons for delivery and installation because they avoid extreme summer heat and winter storms. Deliveries and installs are possible year-round, but heavy rain events or very hot days can slow progress and affect compaction and settling. Schedule with a buffer for weather-related delays and choose installation dates that allow for drying after rain.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and require a minimum order, commonly 3 tons. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and request tailgate spreading, which drivers may perform at their discretion.
Delivery fees depend on distance from the supplier, load size, access restrictions, and truck routing. In many areas free delivery options are offered for qualifying orders, but remote zones or small loads can incur additional charges. Seasonal demand and truck availability can also affect lead times and next-day availability.
Possibly. Local city rules or HOA covenants can govern driveway materials, curb cuts, drainage changes, and impervious surface limits. Check City of Forest Hill codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering, especially for driveway alterations or large landscaping changes that affect drainage or public right-of-way.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. However, spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety, truck access, and local conditions. For precise placement or large spreading jobs, plan for equipment or labor to finish the work after delivery.
Materials that drain well and resist movement typically require less frequent regrading, while fine materials and organic products may compact, wash away, or break down faster. Expect periodic topping, weed control, and occasional regrading after heavy rain for many landscape surfaces. Factor in lifecycle costs—initial material price, installation effort, and ongoing maintenance—when choosing a material.
Homeowners source materials from local landscape suppliers, gravel yards, and delivery platforms that coordinate haulers and suppliers. Delivery services simplify ordering, offer transparent pricing, and bring materials directly to your site on scheduled days, eliminating multiple trips and heavy handling. Regional sourcing also ensures materials reflect local geology and performance characteristics.
Contractors measure area and depth, add a waste allowance, and convert volumes into tons using material-specific density estimates; they also factor in staging, equipment needs, and traffic control. Scheduling accounts for weather windows, inspections, and coordinated truck deliveries to minimize double handling. For larger jobs, contractors often arrange scheduled deliveries to match installation pace and reduce on-site storage.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. Natural materials can vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing, so review photos and ask questions ahead of delivery. If an issue arises after delivery, reach out to customer service for next steps and see our policies for resolution options.
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.
