We handle coordination with local suppliers so you get the best local rate we’ve negotiated.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks) and may require a minimum order size. Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.

Small volumes may fit in a standard pickup, but capacity varies by truck; most homeowners find 3 tons (our minimum) or about 2 to 3 cubic yards is easier by delivery. For anything larger, delivery by dump truck is safer, faster, and often more cost-effective than multiple pickup trips. Use our material calculator or contact us with truck specs to decide which option makes sense.

Choose based on the project purpose: base layers for patios and driveways need well-graded aggregates, planting beds benefit from screened topsoil, and drainage projects need coarser stone or sand. Consider drainage, compaction, appearance, and local climate; regional sourcing in the Michigan region means materials will reflect local geology. If you’re unsure, take our aggregate quiz or call our team for guidance.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 6 cubic feet, so one cubic yard is roughly 5 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. A 40-lb bag’s volume varies by material, but plan for about 45 to 70 40-lb bags per cubic yard; check bag volume if you need a precise count.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 648 sq ft at 1/2-inch depth, 324 sq ft at 1-inch depth, and 162 sq ft at 2-inch depth. Coverage per ton varies because materials have different densities; if you order by weight, we’ll convert to volume for your material so you know expected coverage. Use our online calculator or contact us with your desired depth and area for a quick estimate.

Bulk material is generally cheaper per unit than bagged material when you need more than a few cubic feet because it avoids bagging and handling costs. Hello Gravel focuses on bulk deliveries via dump truck; some suppliers in the network may offer bagged options for small projects. For most landscaping and contractor jobs in Barry County, bulk delivery is the most economical and convenient option.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Delivery crews will assess site access, slope, and safety before agreeing to spread. If spreading is critical, plan for additional labor or hire a local landscaper familiar with Barry County site conditions.

Spring and fall are the busiest and often best times for ordering topsoil and dirt, as contractors are active and ground conditions are favorable for spreading and planting. Winter can limit availability and access in the Michigan region due to frozen ground and snow, and summer demand can affect lead times. Schedule deliveries in advance and check for seasonal pricing or access issues.
