Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Menlo, WA

Homeowners commonly order a mix of bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, drainage, garden beds, and grading. These materials serve different roles: structural base, surface finish, or soil amendment, so pick a material based on the function you need rather than appearance alone. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.

Menlo’s wet climate increases the importance of drainage and stable sub-base for any outdoor surface made from gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Wet weather can cause settling, migration of fine particles, and delayed compaction, so good grading, proper base layers, and solid drainage are key for long-term performance. Consider scheduling installation in drier months and use erosion-control measures on slopes.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is typically scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, supplier, and site access; many areas qualify for free delivery while remote or difficult-access locations may incur extra charges.

Because Menlo is in West Washington, late spring through early fall is generally the easiest window for deliveries and installations of gravel, sand, dirt, stone, when ground conditions are firmer. Winter and heavy-rain months can slow work, increase erosion risk, and make compaction more difficult, so plan extra lead time if you must work in the rainy season. Scheduling deliveries in advance helps secure a good delivery date and reduces weather-related delays.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haul fleets that handle delivery to Menlo, but installation is typically provided by local contractors rather than by our haulers. Some suppliers or contractors can coordinate both material delivery and installation—check the vendor notes or ask our support team for referrals. If you need installation, we recommend getting quotes from local landscapers or contractors in addition to your material order.

Many projects involving driveways, significant grading, or changes to drainage may require city or county permits and some neighborhoods have HOA rules that affect surface materials and curb cuts. Check Menlo/Thurston County rules and any HOA guidelines before ordering large quantities of gravel, sand, dirt, stone to avoid rework or fines. If you are unsure, contact local building or planning offices or ask our team for guidance prior to purchase.

On sloped sites, choose materials and installation methods that reduce movement and erosion—this often means combining proper grading, retaining elements, and heavier or angular aggregates rather than loose fine materials. Use terraces, drainage swales, geotextile fabric, and vegetation to stabilize slopes in addition to the bulk materials. For steep or erosion-prone lots in Menlo, consult a landscape or civil pro to design a solution that meets local conditions.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in inches, then use a standard calculator to convert to cubic yards; a handy formula is (square feet x depth in inches)/324 to get cubic yards, though density varies by material. Because weight-to-volume varies across gravel, sand, dirt, stone, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a quote to convert cubic yards to tons for ordering. When in doubt, add 5-10% extra for compaction, settling, and waste.

Material and labor costs vary with material type, project complexity, and site access; gravel, sand, dirt, stone prices and local labor rates can swing widely so it’s best to request a local quote. For planning, treat materials and delivery as one part of the budget and include separate estimates for excavation, grading, and installation from contractors. Use Hello Gravel to get transparent pricing and then solicit contractor bids to complete your total project budget.

Dump trucks typically need a clear turn radius, stable ground, and no low overhead wires to place bulk loads safely; tell us about narrow roads, steep driveways, or obstacles when ordering. Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but you should plan for spot grading and spreading by you or a contractor. Providing accurate photos and notes at checkout helps the hauler plan and reduces extra fees or delivery delays.

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.
