A common guideline for mulch is to aim for about 2 to 3 inches of depth and keep material pulled a few inches away from tree trunks or building foundations. For other surface materials, depth depends on the project: pathways often need 2 to 4 inches, while bases for driveways or patios need several inches of compactable material. If you are unsure, ask our team for recommended depths based on your project type.

Buying in bulk by the yard or ton is usually more cost-effective for medium and large projects, while bags make sense for small repairs or tight deliveries. Compare the price per cubic yard or per ton versus the total number of bags you would need, and factor in delivery minimums and fees. Use our material calculator to find the break-even point for your job.

Some big-box retailers and local stores offer delivery, but their capacity and pricing vary and they may limit load size. Hello Gravel arranges dump truck deliveries from local suppliers, often giving clearer pricing and scheduling for larger loads. Always compare delivery method, quantity limits, and arrival logistics before deciding.

The 70/30 idea is a general guideline for mixing topsoil or planting mixes, such as roughly 70% mineral soil and 30% organic matter or compost, to balance drainage and fertility. If you need a blended mix, order the base soil and organic amendment separately or request a blended product from your supplier. Tell us your intended planting type and we can help estimate how much of each component you need.

Choose materials based on load, drainage needs, and appearance: stable, compactable materials are best for driveways; smoother, weed-resistant materials suit walkways; and permeable materials work well for drainage. Consider the local climate and soil, and remember that regional sourcing means texture and color will vary. Contact our team or use the material quiz to match options to your project.

Measure the project area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches. Multiply area by depth, divide by 12 to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; convert yards to tons if needed using the material density or our calculator. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for quick estimates and remember our 3-ton minimum.

Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Make sure the dump truck can access your drop point, remove vehicles or obstacles, note overhead wires, and check for local permit requirements if a street or sidewalk will be blocked. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched.

Natural materials vary by local geology, so color, size, and texture can differ from photos. If you are concerned, take photos and contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. We explain regional variations on product pages and recommend adding preferences in the order notes when possible.

Yes. Hot, dry summers can increase dust and settling, while heavy rains can delay deliveries and affect site access. Plan larger projects for spring or fall when suppliers and haulers are less busy, and order ahead of peak landscaping seasons to secure your delivery window. Store materials on stable ground and cover them if storms or extreme heat are forecast.
