Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons, and many areas offer free standard delivery for local hauls. Delivery fees vary with distance, load size, and access but commonly range from a small flat fee up to a modest surcharge for longer or difficult hauls; next-day service is available for an additional fee if ordered before noon CST.

For freeze-thaw areas, pick materials and assemblies that drain well and compact solidly—using a stable base layer topped with a free-draining surface helps reduce frost heave. Discuss compaction, edge restraints, and top dressing with your contractor so the combination of base and surface material performs well through seasonal cycles.

Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for installation because soils are drier and crews have more predictable weather. Deliveries can be scheduled year-round, but winter deliveries may be impacted by snow, frozen ground, or limited spreading ability, so plan earlier and allow extra time during winter months.

Measure length, width, and depth in feet, multiply them (length x width x depth in feet), then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. For example, a 50 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 50 x 10 x 0.333 = 166.5 cubic feet, or about 6.2 cubic yards.

Requirements vary by township and by homeowners association, so check with your local municipality and HOA before ordering. Also ask about curb cut permits, weight limits on private roads, and any local restrictions on stockpiling or placement to avoid surprises at delivery.

Contractors typically recommend combining a stable, well-draining base with a drainage layer and appropriate slope away from structures to move water efficiently. They may also suggest geotextile fabric, retaining details, or surface materials that shed water to protect soil and prevent erosion.

Prices depend on material type, local quarry availability, and delivery distance; as a general ballpark, common bulk aggregates often range from roughly $20 to $75 per cubic yard.

Suppliers need clear directions, ample turning space for a tri-axle dump truck, and awareness of any overhead wires, narrow lanes, or weight-restricted bridges on the route. Mark delivery spots in Order Notes, clear obstacles, and ensure driveways or yard surfaces can handle heavy trucks to avoid delays or extra charges.

Keep materials covered with a tarp or plastic sheeting and place them on pallets, lumber, or compacted ground to reduce mud contamination and waterlogging. Schedule delivery close to installation when possible, and separate different materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) so they stay clean and ready to use.

You can request tailgate spreading or other handling options at checkout, but drivers will assess whether it is safe and feasible and there are no guarantees. Note requests in your order and contact customer service ahead of delivery to discuss logistics so the driver arrives prepared.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and processed by the supplier and hauler. We will make a best-effort to accommodate modifications, but late changes may not be possible and could incur additional fees.
