Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bellingham, WA

Start by matching the material's function to your project needs: drainage, load-bearing base, top dressing, or planting soil. Consider local climate and slope—Bellingham's coastal/marine weather favors well-draining mixes for exposed areas. Use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance, and request local photos or samples when possible since regional sourcing can change texture and color.

Bulk materials are commonly used for driveways, walkways, patios, garden beds, grading, erosion control, and drainage trenches. Most projects use a combination of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for base, bedding, and finish layers. Contractors and homeowners should plan layers, compaction, and drainage to ensure long-term performance.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and delivery charges vary by distance and access—many areas offer free delivery. Request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers perform it at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.

Yes. Narrow streets, steep driveways, historic districts, gated communities, and certain HOA rules can limit large dump truck access in Bellingham. Also watch for overhead wires, low bridges, and tight turn radii. If your site has limited access, tell us when ordering so we can match an appropriate hauler or suggest alternative drop locations.

Bellingham’s coastal climate brings frequent rain in fall and winter, which can make sites muddy and limit safe truck access or spreading. Spring and fall are popular but can be wet, so plan for potential delays and avoid placing material on saturated ground. Severe weather or road advisories may push deliveries; we recommend flexible scheduling and checking local forecasts before a delivery date.

Most local suppliers connected through Hello Gravel focus on material supply and delivery, while installation is handled by separate contractors. Some suppliers or haulers may offer limited spreading or site services, but those are optional and vary by provider. If you need installation, ask us for recommendations or hire a local contractor and note installation needs in your order notes.

Certain large loads or deliveries that use public rights-of-way may require permits, especially for oversized or overweight trucks, nearby utility work, or shorelines. Local road weight limits, construction permits, and city or county codes can affect where and how material is delivered. Check with Whatcom County or the City of Bellingham for project-specific rules and let our team know if permits are required so we can coordinate with haulers.

Choose materials that promote drainage and resist movement: angular, well-graded aggregate for base layers, washed mixes for bedding, and heavier stone for erosion points. Combining gravel, sand, dirt, and stone in proper layers helps shed water and stabilize slopes in Bellingham’s wet environment. Because local geology varies, ask for regionally sourced options and consider professional design for severe slopes or shore-facing sites.

Contractors typically calculate the area (length x width) multiplied by required depth to get cubic yards, then convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific density factor. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and staff can help with conversions and recommend adding 5-10% extra for compaction and waste. Provide accurate dimensions and project plans for the best estimate, and contact our team if you need help measuring.

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.
