Gravel & stone delivery in Larimer County, CO

Customers commonly order a mix of aggregates for landscaping and construction, including gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends of those materials. Typical uses include driveways and access pads, patios and pathways, backfill and grading, erosion control and drainage, and topsoil or planting mixes for gardens.

Choose materials based on function: use angular, well-draining aggregates where freeze-thaw and snowmelt are concerns, and heavier, larger stone where you need long-term stability. Local sourcing means texture and density vary, so consider compaction needs and drainage performance and ask our team for recommendations based on your elevation and specific project.

Spring through early fall (roughly April through October) is usually best for deliveries and installations because ground is less likely to be frozen or saturated from snowmelt. Winter deliveries are possible but may be delayed, restricted by snowy or icy roads, or subject to additional access requirements. Plan larger jobs ahead of peak season to secure preferred dates.

Many suppliers deliver to rural, mountain, and HOA-restricted addresses, but remote locations, steep driveways, narrow roads, or HOA rules can add coordination, time, and fees. Drivers may need specific directions, staging areas, or permission from HOAs; we recommend noting access details in your order and contacting our team to discuss any special requirements before checkout.

Local permits, weight limits on bridges or private roads, and HOA or town restrictions can affect whether a dump truck can access your property and where material can be placed. Check with Larimer County, your municipality, and your HOA for any required permits or road rules, and share any restrictions with our team so we can coordinate with the supplier and hauler.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees are free in many areas but may apply for remote or difficult access; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but this service is not guaranteed.

Delivery cost and availability depend on distance from local quarries and supplier hubs, seasonal demand, and site access — areas closer to Fort Collins and Loveland generally have quicker service than high-elevation or very rural parcels. Expect longer lead times and possible access charges for mountain roads, narrow lanes, snow-prone routes, or properties requiring special permits.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 square feet at 1 inch deep, 162 square feet at 2 inches, 108 square feet at 3 inches, and 81 square feet at 4 inches. Weight per cubic yard varies by material and moisture (often roughly 1 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard), so use our material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions to get a precise estimate.

Recycled and reclaimed aggregates are often available through local suppliers and can be a cost-effective option for base layers, erosion control, or temporary surfaces. Quality and consistency vary more than new materials, so discuss intended use and quality expectations with our sales team to ensure recycled material meets your project needs.

For slopes, choose heavier, angular aggregates and larger stones that resist movement and promote drainage; combining geotextile fabric with properly sized aggregates can greatly reduce erosion. Avoid relying solely on fine, loose materials on steep slopes and plan drainage paths, terraces, or retaining features to manage concentrated runoff.
