Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Baton Rouge, LA

Homeowners commonly choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, beds, and drainage work based on function. For example, firmer, angular materials are often used as driveway base while looser materials help with drainage or top dressing. Think about load, drainage needs, and appearance when choosing a material and ask our team if you need help matching a material to a project.

Baton Rouge’s hot, humid climate and heavy rain events can speed breakdown and movement of loose materials, so pick products that resist erosion and compact well. Materials sourced locally will reflect regional geology, so expect color and texture variation. For flood-prone areas, choose materials with good drainage and pair them with proper grading and drainage solutions to extend lifespan.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Permit rules vary by project, neighborhood, and whether you are changing curb cuts or altering stormwater flow, so check with East Baton Rouge Parish planning and your local homeowners association before starting. Small landscaping jobs often do not need a building permit, but driveway expansions, new curb cuts, and some retaining walls commonly require permits or inspections. When in doubt, contact the parish permitting office and we can help time delivery around permit approvals.

Plan deliveries for drier, cooler windows to avoid heavy rain and extreme heat; in Baton Rouge that is often late fall through early spring, but local weather can vary year to year. Summer brings more frequent heavy storms and higher humidity, which can delay work or make soil compaction harder. Always check the forecast before scheduling and consider our next-day option if timing is tight.

Most contractors measure the length and width of the area, decide on a target depth, then calculate volume (area x depth) to get cubic yards and convert to tons using a material density factor. Different materials compact differently, so it is common to add 5-15% extra for waste and compaction. Use our material calculator or contact our sales team with your measurements to get a quick estimate.

Good practices include establishing proper slope and grading to move water away from structures, installing swales or French drains, and using geotextile fabric under aggregate to stabilize soils. Permeable surfacing, well-compacted base layers, and appropriately sized outlet points reduce washout risk for gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Consult a local contractor or our team for site-specific recommendations before ordering materials.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests.

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.
