Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Hollins, VA

For driveways, paths, and beds in Hollins, homeowners typically choose from gravel, sand, dirt, and stone based on drainage, load, and look. Pick materials that handle local rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles, provide the right compaction for driving surfaces, and match your desired appearance. Ask our team for help matching material performance to your project needs.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on an installation depth (inches). Convert to cubic yards by multiplying area by depth (in feet) and dividing by 27, then multiply by the material's weight per cubic yard to get tons (most common aggregates are roughly 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard). Use our online calculator or contact us with your dimensions for a quick estimate.

Our minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and delivery fees depend on location and supplier—check your zip code at checkout for exact pricing. We confirm delivery timing and truck access before dispatch.

Yes, local suppliers deliver to residential addresses using professional dump trucks (often tri-axle). Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout, but there are no guarantees it will be done. Make sure to clear a safe drop zone and communicate access details in Order Notes.

Hollins' seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles influence drainage and stability: wetter periods can cause fine materials to wash or settle, while freezes can heave poorly compacted areas. Choose materials with good drainage for wet seasons and allow for proper grading and compaction to reduce frost damage. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary, so plan for local performance differences.

Spring through early fall is generally the best time for outdoor projects in Hollins when ground conditions are drier and temperatures are moderate. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during heavy rain or when the ground is frozen, as that can delay work and affect material performance. Book ahead for peak seasons since contractors and truck fleets can fill up quickly.

Compare material stability (how well it compacts and resists movement), drainage properties, required maintenance, aesthetic fit with your home, and local availability. Consider cost per ton alongside coverage (how many tons or cubic yards you need) and factor in delivery and any spreading or compaction labor. Local climate and soil conditions in Hollins should guide the balance between upfront cost and long-term durability.

Possibly. Some projects may be subject to city or county permits, HOA guidelines, or local stormwater rules that restrict surface materials, colors, or impervious surface area. Check with Hollins or Roanoke County building departments and your HOA before ordering to confirm any regulations or setbacks that could affect your material choice or project scope.

Labor can be a large portion of total cost, so budget for materials, delivery, site prep, compaction, and any removal of existing material. For many homeowner projects, materials may represent 30–60% of the total price depending on complexity and whether you hire pros for grading or compaction. Get multiple quotes and include delivery, tax, and contingency for unexpected site conditions.

Compare suppliers by reviews, responsiveness, clear material descriptions, and delivery terms. Confirm the material type, color preference in Order Notes, site access, and a contact phone number before delivery. On delivery day expect a dump truck to place material in your designated area; the driver will assess safety and placement on arrival and may decline spreading if conditions are unsafe.

Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations. We can often accommodate changes before the order is dispatched, but modifications may be limited once a supplier and truck are scheduled. See Order Notes and our customer service team for specific guidance and timing.

Contact customer service promptly with photos and a description so we can investigate with the supplier.
