Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Carnation, WA

Spring through early fall is the busiest window for landscaping and construction work in Carnation, so book at least 1-2 weeks ahead during those months. Winter is wetter and can delay site access, so plan extra lead time or consider off-peak scheduling. We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply).

Small deliveries to private driveways often don’t need permits, but larger fills, work in rights-of-way, or placement near streams and steep slopes may require city or county permits. Check with the City of Carnation public works and King County planning for shoreline, floodplain, driveway, and grading rules before you order. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help point you to the right local office.

Delivery fees vary by distance, load size, road access, and truck routing; many areas offer free delivery while others charge based on mileage or time. Hello Gravel’s marketplace pricing factors in material price plus any delivery fee, and our minimum order is 3 tons. For an accurate estimate, check your zip code on our site or request a quote from our sales team.

For West Washington’s wet, mild conditions look for materials with good drainage, stable particle sizes, and resistance to washout and freeze-thaw cycles. Coarser, well-graded aggregates and materials with fewer fines generally perform better on driveways, drainage beds, and slopes. Always consider local sourcing since regional geology affects texture and color.

Typical ranges: a single-car driveway (4–6" base) needs about 6–9 cubic yards; a two-car driveway about 12–18 cubic yards; a 10x12 patio base usually needs 1–3 cubic yards; and a narrow 3x20 pathway often needs less than 1 cubic yard. Material weight varies, but a good rule is roughly 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material. Use our online calculator for a precise estimate based on your measurements.

Combine stable, coarse materials with vegetation and proper drainage to reduce erosion risk on slopes and near waterways. Consider geotextile fabric, terracing or small retaining walls, and check dams or swales to slow runoff. Always follow local shoreline and erosion-control rules and consult professionals for work near regulated streams.

Standard delivery is typically scheduled for 2+ business days from order, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact arrival windows depend on the supplier’s truck routing and cannot be guaranteed. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and we’ll confirm timing before dispatch.

Ordering larger volumes at once often lowers the per-unit price, and booking outside peak season can sometimes reduce scheduling fees. Sign up for promotions, ask our sales team about bulk pricing, and combine materials for a single delivery to reduce hauling costs. Always compare total delivered price (material plus delivery) rather than material price alone.

Clear a stable drop zone with enough width and turning room for a tri-axle dump truck, and remove low-hanging branches, cables, or obstacles. Mark the desired drop location with flags or stakes and note soft ground, culverts, or weight-restricted roads on your order. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but this is done at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.

Due to regional sourcing, color and texture can vary, so inspect material at delivery and take photos if something seems off. Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and provide your order number and images so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. Review our refund and issue-resolution information on the website for next steps.

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.
