Prices vary by material, quantity, and local supplier, so costs for a truckload depend on the product and delivery distance.

Seasonal demand and any required spreading or special access may add fees.

Choose materials based on function: for drainage and structural base use denser, angular aggregates; for planting beds and topdressing pick looser materials that improve soil or retain moisture. In Birchwood's climate, consider local sourcing and frost/seasonal runoff when selecting gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group. If you’re unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for a recommendation tailored to your project and site conditions.

Bulk materials are commonly sold by the cubic yard or by the ton, depending on the supplier and material density. A cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so many customers calculate volume by multiplying area by depth and dividing by 27. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or call our sales team if you need help converting between cubic yards and tons.

For small jobs, bagged materials can be convenient, but bulk orders are usually cheaper per unit for medium to large projects. Bulk reduces waste, lowers handling time, and simplifies delivery, especially when you need multiple cubic yards or tons. Compare total cost and convenience for your project size, and get a quote through our site to see the savings for Birchwood deliveries.

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so check the bag label for the bag’s cubic feet to convert. Many 40-pound landscape bags are about 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, which means roughly 14 to 18 bags equal one cubic yard. For the most accurate count, use the labeled volume on the bag or ask our team for help with specific products.

Measure the area (length x width) and choose a desired depth, then calculate cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (in feet) and dividing by 27. Typical depths: mulch 2-3 inches, top-dressing 1-2 inches, gravel base 4-6 inches — adjust by project needs and soil conditions. Use our online calculator or call 855-241-8884 to confirm quantities and allow for compaction or waste.

Spring and early fall are often the best times for installing mulch, topsoil, and aggregates because the ground is workable and plants are actively growing. Avoid deliveries during heavy rain or frozen ground, which are common in the Washington Region, as they can make spreading and installation difficult. Plan ahead and choose a delivery date on our checkout calendar that fits local weather patterns.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout; the driver will assess upon arrival and decide whether it can be done safely. If spreading is essential, consider hiring a local landscaper or contact our team for recommendations.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color, texture, and particle size can vary based on local geology, so materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone reflect the area around Birchwood.
