Gravel & stone delivery in Fayette County, KY

Start with the function you need: load-bearing and compaction for driveways, drainage for paths and base layers, and appearance for beds and borders. Consider the local climate and how water drains on your property, then pick a material that matches those needs; gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates serve different roles depending on depth and grading. Use our material quiz and calculator or contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your project.

Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth, and multiply to get cubic yards or tons. Typical depths: 2-3 inches for beds and paths, 4-6 inches for driveways, and 6-12 inches for base or fill work, but final depth depends on use and soil. Use our online material calculator or call our team to convert your measurements into the correct tonnage; note our minimum order is 3 tons.

Clear a path and staging area for the dump truck, remove vehicles and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop zone with flags or cones. Protect sensitive landscaping, turn off irrigation in the drop area, and check for low-hanging wires or tight turns that could restrict truck access. If access is limited, tell us when you order so we can coordinate with the driver.

Most deliveries to private property do not require a permit, but you should check local city and county rules if the truck will block a public road, use a public right-of-way, or require traffic control. Fayette County and Lexington may have specific rules for oversized or obstructive deliveries. If you expect to block a street or need special arrangements, contact local authorities and let our team know so we can coordinate.

Standard delivery is usually available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be requested for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can pick a preferred delivery date during checkout and we will confirm scheduling with you. Exact timing depends on supplier and truck availability, so allow some flexibility.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and practicality on arrival, but Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading services. If spreading is critical to your project, plan for a crew or tools to finish the job.

Because we source materials regionally, texture and color can vary with local geology, so the material you receive may not match photos exactly. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates naturally vary in appearance and consistency. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, and contact customer service if you have concerns.

Price depends on the type of material, the amount ordered, distance from the supplier, and delivery options like next-day service or special access. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing once you enter your zip code, and our minimum order is 3 tons.

Common projects include driveways, patio bases, drainage improvements, garden beds, and grading or fill work. Choose materials based on the project's function: stability and compaction for driveways, permeability for drainage areas, and visual finish for landscape beds; gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates each serve different roles. If you are unsure, send photos and measurements to our team and we can recommend the best option.

Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed and the truck is dispatched. We will do our best to help, but modifications or cancellations after dispatch may not be possible and could incur additional fees.
