Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Isle Of Wight, VA

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which is typical for bulk deliveries. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Check your zip code at checkout to confirm availability and any local fees.

Delivery costs depend on distance to the local supplier, the size of the load, and access conditions (for example, long driveways or difficult drop locations). Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout so you can see material and delivery charges before you confirm. Rural deliveries or special access needs may incur additional fees.

Choose materials that promote drainage and resist washout, such as properly graded aggregates and compactable mixes rather than fine fines. In coastal, humid zones, materials that allow water to pass through help prevent pooling and erosion. Because local sourcing varies, ask our team or use the aggregate quiz to match material properties to your site conditions.

Many properties have clay or silty soils that retain water and can cause poor drainage or rutting. Look for materials that improve drainage and provide a stable base—typically a combination of base stone and a wearing surface. Consider grading, sub-base preparation, and adding drainage features where water collects to get the best long-term performance.

Spring through fall are generally the best windows for delivery and installation, when ground conditions are firmer and weather is more predictable. Winter and heavy-rain seasons can delay deliveries or make spreading and compaction difficult, especially on unpaved sites. Schedule with extra lead time during stormy months and ask about next-day options if you have a tight timeline.

Yes, many local suppliers deliver to rural and unpaved driveways, but access, bridge limits, and soft ground can affect whether a dump truck can reach the drop location. Provide accurate directions, describe driveway conditions, and add photos in Order Notes when possible so haulers can plan. If trucks can't get close enough, discuss offloading locations or manual spreading options with the driver.

Measure the area (length and width) and decide the depth you need, then convert to cubic yards using a calculator or our material calculator on the site. Most aggregates weigh between about 1.2 and 1.8 tons per cubic yard depending on type, so use that range to estimate tons. When in doubt, order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction, grading, or measurement variance.

Many projects may need local permits or HOA approval, especially if they change a driveway, alter drainage, or affect runoff onto neighboring properties. Check with Isle Of Wight County planning and your HOA before starting, and include any permit timelines when scheduling material delivery. Hello Gravel can supply the materials, but you are responsible for confirming local regulations and approvals.

Contractors usually separate material costs from labor and equipment charges: material is billed based on tons or yards plus delivery, and installation is charged by the hour or per project. Get itemized quotes to compare material, hauling, grading, compaction, and cleanup costs. Hello Gravel can supply materials directly if you prefer to buy materials yourself and hire labor separately.

Coarser, angular aggregates tend to compact well and provide durable surfaces for driveways, while mixes with finer particles can create smoother finishes for pathways or garden beds. Materials that drain well reduce standing water and erosion risk but may require edging to contain them. Consider maintenance: loose materials may need periodic replenishing, while compacted bases require less frequent attention.

Reclaimed and recycled aggregates are often available from local suppliers or recycling centers and can be a cost-effective, sustainable choice for many projects. They may vary more in appearance and gradation than new materials, so inspect samples and ask about consistency for your intended use. Recycled materials can work well for base layers, fill, or sub-base applications where appearance is less critical.

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.
