Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Floyd, VA

Material selection depends on use, budget, and appearance. For load-bearing surfaces and driveways choose aggregates that compact well and drain, while for planting beds and decorative areas choose materials that match the look you want. Regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, and stone may vary in color and texture around Floyd, so review photos and request guidance from our team if you need help deciding.

On slopes you want materials that resist movement and shed water: coarser, angular aggregates over a compacted base work well, and adding geotextile fabric or a graded base can improve stability. For erosion control combine aggregates with vegetation, mulch, or engineered solutions depending on the slope steepness. Discuss the slope, runoff patterns, and access with our team so we can suggest options that suit your site.

Freeze-thaw and wet seasons can cause settling, rutting, or frost heave if materials are poorly drained or not compacted. Prioritize good drainage, proper compaction, and adequate base depth to reduce long-term maintenance. Expect occasional regrading or top dressing for lower-cost materials; higher-spec base and drainage work reduces repair frequency.

Spring through early fall is usually easiest for deliveries and installations because ground conditions are more predictable and crews are available. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain or freeze periods when possible to reduce site damage and access issues. Plan ahead—standard delivery takes 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee.

Yes, many local suppliers deliver to rural and private addresses, but delivery depends on truck accessibility, road condition, and turning space for tri-axle trucks. Provide clear delivery notes, photos of the driveway, and any gate or access limits at checkout so the carrier can plan. Extra fees or staging off-site may apply if a site requires special handling or long off-road hauling.

Permits and HOA rules vary by property. Check Floyd County and any neighborhood HOA rules before major driveway replacements or changes that affect drainage, curb cuts, or road access. If you expect road closures, heavy truck access across public right-of-way, or work in a regulated area, contact local authorities and your supplier early in the planning process.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the required depth; convert to cubic yards or tons using our online calculator or aggregate quiz for a quick estimate. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and regional sourcing affects material weight and coverage. For a precise quote, upload measurements or photos at checkout or call our team for help.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but note this service is not guaranteed.

Materials placed over a properly prepared, compacted base with good drainage generally need the least maintenance, regardless of type. Larger, angular aggregates and properly installed retaining or edging systems resist washout and shifting better than loose, fine materials. Combining stable materials with vegetation or erosion-control fabric on slopes reduces upkeep over time.

Lower upfront costs can mean more frequent maintenance, while higher initial investment in better base preparation, drainage, and quality materials can lower lifetime upkeep. Factor in material cost, delivery, installation labor, and expected regrading or topping when comparing options. If you need help estimating lifecycle costs for different approaches, our team can walk you through typical trade-offs for projects in the Floyd area.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
