Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Catlett, VA

Start by thinking about load, drainage, and appearance. For driveways you typically want a material that compacts well, sheds water, and matches the look you want; local suppliers may offer different sizes and colors due to regional sourcing. Use our material calculator and talk to our team to match tonnage and type to your driveway size and traffic. Always consider a proper base and edging to keep material in place.

Delivery cost depends on material type, how many tons you order, delivery distance, site accessibility, and any special services like next-day delivery or tailgate spreading. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and a quote up front, with a minimum order of 3 tons and free delivery in many areas. Request a quote or check your zip code at checkout to see exact costs for your address.

Choose materials and installation methods that promote good drainage and resist frost heave. Well-graded, compactable aggregates used with proper subgrade and drainage tend to perform better through freeze-thaw cycles than loose, fine materials alone. Consider adding a compacted base layer and addressing site drainage to extend the life of any surface material.

Aim to schedule work in drier seasons such as late spring or early fall to avoid muddy conditions and heavy summer storms. Our standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Plan ahead for permits, contractor availability, and possible weather delays.

Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers who deliver to homes and job sites in the Catlett area. Deliveries are made by dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology. Check your zip code for availability and include access notes at checkout so drivers can assess delivery needs.

Prioritize materials that encourage drainage and resist erosion, and combine them with grading, swales, or retaining structures as needed. A layered approach—stable base material plus a top dressing that suits the slope and desired look—works well. If erosion is severe, consider geotextile fabric and professional advice to design a long-term solution.

Driveways usually require more material and a stronger, compacted base, so they are generally more expensive per project than small landscaping jobs. Landscaping projects can vary widely based on decorative choices and coverage area; decorative top layers may cost more per ton but need less volume. Always factor in delivery, spreading, compaction, and any site prep when comparing total project costs.

Match the material to the function: choose permeable, well-draining mixes for paths and load-bearing, compactable mixes for base layers. Consider traction, maintenance, and appearance — some materials give a smoother finish while others are better at allowing water to pass through. Use our aggregate quiz or contact our team to pick a material that balances performance and look for your project.

Permits or HOA rules are sometimes required for driveways, major grading, or visible landscape changes. Requirements vary by locality and homeowner association, so check with your local permitting office and HOA before ordering. If you need help, contact our team — we can remind you to verify permits and timing before delivery.

Compare quotes from local suppliers, order the right volume to take advantage of bulk pricing, and schedule deliveries during off-peak times when possible. Hello Gravel simplifies this by connecting you with trusted local suppliers, showing transparent pricing, and offering a material calculator to avoid overordering. For larger or recurring needs, contact our sales team to discuss volume options and scheduling.

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.
