Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.

Why Knightsen Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Knightsen has a population of 829, and its modest growth rate of 0.40% annually points to steady, incremental construction and landscaping demand rather than a building boom. That steady expansion means homeowners are more likely to invest in renovations, yard upgrades, and targeted site improvements—projects that benefit from clear material choices and reliable delivery. With 204 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a, local conditions favor a mix of moisture management and sun-resilient solutions. Homeowners and contractors in Knightsen should plan for both drainage and surface durability: properly graded aggregates, well-prepared base soils, and erosion-control materials all help structures and landscapes stand up to alternating sun and rain cycles. Choosing quality bulk materials—dirt, sand, gravel, mulch, and stone—reduces rework, improves longevity, and supports the local aesthetic and environmental needs of the area.Popular Projects in Knightsen This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Knightsen Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Knightsen.
Start by matching the material to the job: consider load (foot traffic vs vehicles), drainage needs, and desired appearance. In Knightsen, think about durability and local drainage because soils and seasonal rains affect performance; gravel, sand, dirt, stone can all work depending on design. Use our material calculator and contact the team if you need help narrowing options based on slope, traffic, and budget.
Knightsen experiences wet winters and dry summers, so choose materials that drain well and resist erosion during rains. Some local sites have heavier, poorly drained soils, which may require additional base or a drainage layer before placing gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Plan for frost-free compaction in summer and erosion control in winter for longer-lasting results.
Proper grading and a stable subgrade are essential—slope the site away from structures and clear organic matter before placing materials. For many projects you’ll need a compacted base or geotextile underlay to prevent sinking or mixing with native soil. Discuss site access and slope with our team so we can advise on material depth and any extra services you might need.
A useful rule of thumb is that 3 inches of material covers about 100 square feet at 1 cubic yard, so a 1,000-square-foot area at 3 inches needs roughly 10 cubic yards. Densities vary by material, so convert cubic yards to tons using our material calculator for an accurate order—remember our minimum order is 3 tons. If you’re unsure, order a little extra for compaction and grading losses or contact our support for an estimate.
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 (commonly tri-axle trucks), and you can pick a preferred delivery date during checkout. Note the minimum order is 3 tons and some remote or restricted-access locations may incur additional charges.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request the service at checkout so the driver can assess conditions on arrival. Spreading is not guaranteed and depends on truck access, site slope, safety, and local regulations. If spreading is critical, plan to hire a local contractor or add a spreading service through your checkout notes.
No—materials reflect regional sourcing and local geology, so color, texture, and particle size can vary in Knightsen. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone will have natural variations that affect appearance and drainage. If color and texture are important, request a sample or note preferences in your order notes and contact our team for guidance.
Dry months are generally best for heavy deliveries and compaction because trucks have better access and materials compact more reliably. Winters can still be workable, but heavy rains can delay delivery, cause rutting, or require extra site prep. Check the weather and plan deliveries around dry windows when possible, and contact us if you need a time-sensitive delivery.
Cost depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, site access, and any optional services like next-day delivery or spreading. Local availability and seasonal demand can also influence price, and minimum orders start at 3 tons. Use our online quote tool or contact sales for a clear estimate including any delivery or special-access fees.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it; see our policies for details on refunds and adjustments. For immediate help, call or text our team listed on the site.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
