Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakewood has a city population of 61,000 and sits inside a rapidly growing regional economy — the broader metro area supports a population of 2.5+ million and is expanding at a growth rate of 2.50% annually. That steady growth translates into rising demand for residential and light commercial projects: new driveways, patios, yard renovations, and routine grading work. In a climate with 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, homeowners need materials that manage both bright, year‑round use and periodic heavy rain. Local geology and hardiness zone 8b mean suppliers typically offer aggregates, sands, soils, mulches, and stones that reflect coastal and subtropical conditions. Choosing quality bulk materials affects drainage, erosion control, plant health, and long‑term maintenance costs — so selecting the right mix of materials is a practical first step for any Lakewood project.Popular Projects in Lakewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakewood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakewood.
Choose materials that provide drainage and resist erosion in a warm, humid, coastal climate. Layered systems that combine a compacted base with a stable top layer of gravel, sand, dirt, or stone usually give the best long-term performance. Consider material size, angularity, and how well it compacts when deciding between options.
Salt, humidity, and heat accelerate weathering and can change color or break down some materials faster than in inland areas. Choose aggregates that are dense and inert where possible, rinse salt from features near the coast, and plan for more frequent topping or maintenance for organic products. Regular inspection and occasional replenishment help extend the life of most materials in West Florida.
For sandy sites, prioritize a compacted base layer and a well-graded top layer to lock particles together and improve stability. Combining materials—such as a structural sub-base topped with a coarser surface mix of gravel, sand, dirt, or stone—helps manage runoff and prevents washout. Geotextile fabric and proper grading can also reduce erosion and keep materials in place.
Plan deliveries and exterior work for the drier months when possible; in West Florida this is typically late fall through spring. Avoid major projects during peak rainy or hurricane season when schedule disruptions and washouts are more likely. Also allow extra lead time for busy seasons and request next-day delivery if you need materials quickly.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in about 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, material type, and local supplier, and some zip codes may qualify for free delivery. You can check your zip code and get an upfront quote on the Hello Gravel site.
Some local suppliers or independent contractors offer spreading and installation, but offerings vary by supplier and job. Hello Gravel drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. For full installation or grading, we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor who specializes in site prep.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth in inches, and convert to cubic yards (area in feet x depth in feet / 27). Use the Hello Gravel material calculator for quick estimates and add 5–10% extra for compaction and waste. If you are unsure, contact our team with your dimensions and project type for help.
Permit needs vary by project size, location, and whether you are changing drainage or impervious surface area. Check Lakewood and county building or planning departments and any HOA rules before beginning work, and ask about right-of-way and stormwater requirements. If you are unsure, your contractor or Hello Gravel can help point you toward local authorities.
Homeowners often choose durable, inorganic materials that resist washout and need less frequent replenishment, such as well-graded gravels or crushed stone blends. These materials typically require minimal upkeep other than occasional raking and topping. Factor in local climate and sun exposure when selecting color and size, since heat and humidity affect appearance over time.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate changes, and if there is an issue with delivery or material quality contact customer service promptly for assistance. See our online policies for details on refunds and resolution steps.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
