Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Gilmer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gilmer is a community where local projects reflect steady, manageable growth. With a city population of 20,110 and a wider metro area population of 2.5+ million, the area is seeing ongoing demand for both small homeowner projects and larger regional construction work. A growth rate of 0.70% annually suggests steady, predictable increases in renovation and infill building rather than a sudden construction boom — homeowners can expect consistent need for driveways, patios, garden beds, and basic site work. Local climate and geography—228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—mean materials must perform well under high sun exposure, resist erosion during periodic heavy rains, and support drought-tolerant plantings and low-maintenance yards. That mix of conditions makes reliable bulk materials — from sand and soil to stone and mulch — essential for durable, long-lasting results that handle both sun and storm.Popular Projects in Gilmer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gilmer Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gilmer.
Bulk materials work for many projects in Gilmer, including driveways, walking paths, raised beds, grading/fill work, and drainage improvements. Contractors and homeowners also use them for hardscape bases and general landscaping. Choose the material based on drainage needs, load-bearing requirements, and desired appearance.
Start by deciding the project's function: load-bearing surfaces need harder, crushed aggregates while planting beds and leveling may use dirt or sand. Consider drainage, maintenance, and appearance—materials that lock together resist shifting and dusty options need edging. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Gilmer's seasonal heat and occasional heavy rains mean you should pick materials that handle wet-dry cycles and provide good drainage. Local soil can be clayey or silty in spots, so a stable base or geotextile may be needed under driveways or pavers. Remember regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from pictures.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards by multiplying area by depth and dividing by 324 (area x depth/324). For tons, densities vary by material, so use our online material calculator or ask our team for a quick conversion. When in doubt, order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading adjustments.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks and require at least a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers will assess safe drop locations on arrival—request tailgate spreading at checkout but expect it only at the driver's discretion.
Clear a safe drop zone that the truck can access and mark obstacles like low branches, utility lines, and underground irrigation. Provide solid driving surfaces and an unobstructed path; if access is tight, let us know so a proper truck size can be scheduled. Protect nearby landscaping and parked vehicles by choosing a drop spot away from sensitive areas.
Price depends on material type, local availability, distance from supplier, quantity ordered, and any special services like next-day delivery or tailgate spreading. Seasonal demand and site access challenges can increase costs. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front and will connect you with local suppliers so you can compare options.
Plan outdoor installs for drier, milder months to reduce delays from heavy rain or saturated ground. Summer heat can make work uncomfortable and affect compaction, while rainy periods can limit truck access and cause materials to rut. If timing is tight, consider the next-day delivery option and coordinate with contractors for condition-dependent work.
Harder, angular aggregates generally offer better load-bearing capacity and lower maintenance for driveways, while softer materials may need more frequent topping or grading. Sand and fine dirt are cheaper but may shift, erode, or compact more than crushed stone; decorative stone can cost more but reduces upkeep. Balance initial cost against expected use and maintenance when choosing materials.
Some driveways, visible front-yard changes, or large grading projects may require city, county, or HOA approval. Check Gilmer city ordinances, county regulations, and any HOA covenants before ordering to avoid rework. If you’re unsure, our team can remind you to verify permits and recommend contacting local authorities.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
