Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Monterey, VA

Homeowners and contractors in the Monterey area typically choose a mix of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, pads, drainage swales, and garden beds. These materials are selected based on load, drainage needs, and appearance rather than a single universal choice. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary, so check photos and ask for local samples when ordering.

Choose materials that handle freeze-thaw by promoting drainage and resisting washout—for example, coarser mixes for surfaces and compactable base materials under pavement. Proper grading, a firm base, and good drainage often matter more than exact material type in cold, hilly areas. Schedule installation during milder seasons when possible to reduce disruption from freezing and thawing.

Estimate quantities by measuring the area (length x width) and desired depth, then use a material calculator or our team to convert cubic feet into tons. For common projects like a 10 ft x 20 ft driveway resurfacing, small changes in depth can change the total by a full ton or more, so measure carefully. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and sales team can help avoid overordering or underordering.

Minimum orders start at about 3 tons, and standard delivery is generally available in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Final cost depends on your zip code, material type, distance from local suppliers, and access conditions, so request a quote for an accurate price. Our checkout shows up-front pricing and delivery options before you confirm.

Permit requirements vary by county and neighborhood; many routine deliveries do not need a delivery permit, but driveway construction, curb cuts, or work within a right-of-way often do. Check with Highland County building and zoning offices before starting large projects to confirm any permits, set-backs, or weight restrictions. When in doubt, our team can point you to local resources to verify requirements.

Monterey’s narrow mountain roads and steep driveways can limit truck access; drivers will assess safety and accessibility on arrival and may need to place material at the nearest safe drop point. Provide clear delivery notes, photos, and gate codes at checkout so suppliers can plan for turn radius, overhead wires, and space for a tri-axle dump truck. If on-site access is impossible, plan for a short carry or staging area and discuss options with our team before delivery.

The most reliable windows are late spring through early fall when roads and yards are less likely to be frozen or muddy, and suppliers have better access. Winter and early spring can bring freeze-thaw cycles and snowfall that delay deliveries or change material handling, so plan ahead and allow extra time for scheduling during those months. If you need material in winter, order early and discuss contingency plans with support.

On sloped sites, prioritize materials and installation methods that promote controlled drainage—well-graded base material, proper back-slope, and erosion controls like fabric or retaining features. Avoid using loose, fine materials on steep, exposed slopes without stabilization, because they can wash away during heavy rain. A site-specific plan that considers slope, runoff path, and vegetation will extend the life of any material.

Drivers may be able to do limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, truck placement, and local conditions. If you want spreading, request it at checkout and include clear instructions, but expect the driver to decide at delivery whether it is safe and practical. For larger spreading jobs, consider booking a local contractor separately or ask our team for recommendations.

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.
