Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which covers most small homeowner jobs. Standard delivery is often included or offered for a modest fee depending on distance, site access, and local hauling rates; remote or hard-to-access locations may have higher charges. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling, frost heave, and drainage problems if a base is not properly prepared and compacted. Choose materials and installation methods that resist movement—proper compaction, good drainage, and frost-resistant base layers help performance through winter. Plan projects for seasons when ground is not deeply frozen to avoid poor compaction and uneven surfaces.

Spring through early fall is usually the easiest time for deliveries and for achieving good compaction and drainage. Late fall and winter deliveries are possible but may face delays, frozen ground issues, or extra handling fees. Book deliveries in advance for busy seasons and use next-day options if you need faster service.

Yes. Check with Tontogany village offices, Wood County building or zoning departments, and any HOA for rules on driveways, curb cuts, stormwater, and setback or material restrictions. Permits or inspections may be required for full driveway replacements or changes to drainage, so confirm local requirements before ordering materials.

Measure the project area (length x width) and decide the target depth, then calculate cubic feet and convert to tons using a general density for the material. Hello Gravel’s material calculator and our team can do the conversions for you and recommend typical depths for driveways, walkways, and planting beds. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction, grading, and waste.

Labor and installation costs vary with project complexity, local labor rates, and site conditions. For simple spreading and light compaction, you might see modest per-square-foot labor rates; full driveway removal, grading, and base installation can range much higher depending on scope. Request local contractor estimates for accurate pricing and compare quotes along with delivery costs.

Many local suppliers and haulers deliver to rural addresses, but access is the deciding factor. Long driveways, narrow lanes, low-hanging wires, or soft shoulders can limit truck access and may incur extra fees or require a different drop location. Provide detailed access notes at checkout and we will confirm whether your site is accessible or suggest alternatives.

Pick materials based on use, drainage needs, appearance, and budget rather than brand names. For example, choose stable, well-graded material for driveways, and lighter, decorative material for garden beds or pathways; gravel, sand, dirt, stone can all serve different roles depending on placement. Use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for recommendations tailored to your site and intended use.

Clear the drop zone of vehicles, toys, low branches, and other obstructions and mark the exact placement with flags or cones. Ensure stable ground for the truck to avoid bogging and note any underground utilities or special access instructions in Order Notes. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will decide on arrival whether that service is safe and practical.
