Why Gretna Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gretna has a city population of 5,990 and is experiencing steady expansion at a 2.40% annual growth rate, which translates into ongoing demand for residential and outdoor projects. That steady growth means more driveways, patios, garden beds, and small-scale construction that rely on dependable bulk materials. With about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, homeowners here need materials that balance drainage and durability—materials that shed water in heavy rain yet resist erosion during dry spells. In a hardiness zone of 8b, plantings and landscape beds also benefit from soils and mulches that support root health year-round. For Gretna homeowners, having easy access to quality topsoil, aggregates, sand, and mulch helps ensure projects last and landscapes thrive in local conditions.Popular Projects in Gretna This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gretna Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gretna.
In Gretna people commonly choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job. Customers pick materials based on load-bearing needs, drainage, appearance, and budget rather than a single “best” option.
Match the material to the job: pick stable, angular material for driveways and areas that must carry weight, looser materials where drainage or planting is the priority, and finer material for smoothing or finishing. Think about drainage, maintenance, and how the material will look in your local landscape when you decide.
Typical orders vary by project and depth. As a ballpark: small patio or walkway often uses 1-3 cubic yards (about 1-4 tons), a one-car driveway base commonly needs 2-4 cubic yards (roughly 2.5-6 tons), and larger driveways or heavy subbase layers can require 8+ cubic yards; use the formula area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324 to estimate cubic yards and then convert to tons based on material density.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; delivery mileage and fees vary by supplier, and free delivery may be offered in many areas—check your zip code for specifics.
Rural suppliers commonly deliver within a roughly 20-40 mile radius of Gretna, but exact ranges depend on the local hauler. Longer hauls can incur extra delivery fees, which are shown at checkout so you can see any distance-based charges before confirming the order.
Spring through early fall is generally the easiest time to schedule deliveries because ground conditions are better and demand is steady. Avoid deliveries during extremely wet weather or when the ground is frozen or muddy, and book early in busy months to secure your preferred date.
Virginia’s humidity and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can cause fine materials to settle, compact, or wash out over time. Good drainage, proper compaction on load-bearing areas, and periodic top-ups help maintain performance in this climate.
Include material cost per ton or cubic yard, delivery fees based on haul distance, expected maintenance or replenishment, and any site preparation or compaction work. Local availability often affects price, so checking regional options for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone can help you balance cost and performance.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed; you can request this service at checkout and note your preferred drop location. Clear access paths, mark underground utilities, and remove obstacles so the truck can safely reach the best drop spot.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
