Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lithia Springs, GA

Start by matching material performance to the job: consider load (vehicles vs foot traffic), drainage needs, and desired look. In Lithia Springs you should favor materials and installation methods that manage water and compaction because local clay soils can hold moisture. Use the Hello Gravel calculator or contact our team to compare options and get a recommendation that balances durability, maintenance, and appearance.

West Georgia has clay-rich soils and warm, wet summers, which can cause poor drainage and settling. Choose materials and installation details that improve drainage and stability, like a compactable base, proper slope, and optional geotextile underlayment. Plan for seasonal wet conditions during installation to avoid rutting or uneven settling.

Spring and fall are usually the most reliable seasons for deliveries and installs because the ground is less saturated and crews can work more consistently. Summer storms can delay work, and very wet winter periods can make sites difficult to access. Schedule with some flexibility and book larger projects in advance to avoid peak-season delays.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches. Convert to cubic yards with: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Most aggregates typically weigh about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by an estimated weight to get tons and add 5-10% for waste and compaction. Use our online calculator or call the sales team for a quick estimate tailored to your material type.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days with an optional next-day service for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle), and fees depend on supplier distance, site access, and load size. Many areas offer free delivery, but charges vary by ZIP code, so check availability and pricing at checkout.

Clear a path for the dump truck and mark the exact drop location with cones or stakes, and protect nearby plants, lawns, and hardscapes if you need the load placed close to sensitive areas. Confirm overhead clearance and gate widths and remove low branches or obstacles that could block the truck. Add detailed notes at checkout if access is tight; the driver will assess the site on arrival and may place the load differently for safety.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely once on site. For consistent results, consider hiring a local contractor for grading and compaction after delivery.

Requirements vary by project type, neighborhood, and local regulations. Simple landscape deliveries usually do not need a permit, but driveway expansions, changes to drainage, or new hard surfaces often require city or county permits and may be subject to HOA rules. Check with Douglas County, the City of Lithia Springs (if applicable), and your HOA before starting work to confirm any permits or design restrictions.

Lifespan and upkeep depend on material, installation quality, and traffic: well-installed aggregate surfaces can last many years but will need periodic topping, regrading, and compaction. Expect routine tasks like removing weeds, refilling settled areas, and maintaining drainage. Higher-traffic areas typically require more frequent maintenance; budget for occasional refreshes to keep appearance and performance.

For problems with material quality or delivery placement, provide photos and order details so our support team can follow up quickly.

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.
