Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Marietta, GA

Start by defining the function: load-bearing surfaces (driveways) need more stable, compactable materials while decorative paths and garden beds can use lighter aggregates. Consider appearance, required drainage, and maintenance needs when comparing gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group. Use our material calculator and contact our team for help matching material performance to your project.

Marietta's climate, seasonal rainfall, native soil type, and property slope all affect material performance. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so plan for local variations in gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Also consider drainage and frost/expansion cycles when selecting materials for long-term durability.

Pricing depends on the material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers, with most orders quoted per ton or per cubic yard. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, and may offer free delivery in many areas; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days from order, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You choose a delivery date at checkout and receive confirmation; weather, supplier schedules, or access issues can cause delays, so plan some buffer time. Drivers use contracted tri-axle dump trucks and will confirm site access before unloading.

Local building permits or zoning rules may be required for driveway changes, large grading work, or retaining walls, and many HOAs have rules about visible surface materials and colors. Check Marietta city codes and your HOA guidelines before ordering, and get permits if needed. If you are unsure, contact the city or your HOA for specific requirements.

For improved drainage and erosion control, choose materials that allow water to pass through and that compact well when used as a base layer; top layers can be chosen for appearance and wear. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone serve different roles in a drainage system, so think in layers (subgrade, base, finish) rather than a single product. If erosion is severe, consider geotextile fabric, proper grading, or a drainage contractor in addition to material choice.

Measure the area (length x width x depth) to get cubic yards, then use a conversion for tons because different materials have different densities; our online calculator can convert for you. It's common to add 5-10% extra to account for compaction and waste. If you need help, contact our sales team with your dimensions and project type for a quick estimate.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and feasibility on arrival. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, so ensure safe access and a clear drop zone. We do not guarantee spreading services, and any special access needs or obstacles should be noted in order notes.

Rainy periods and saturated ground in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs area can delay deliveries, make spreading harder, and affect compaction, so schedule projects during drier windows when possible. Some materials handle wet conditions better than others, and local sourcing means material moisture content can vary by season. Plan ahead for spring and summer projects and check delivery availability before committing to dates.

Look for suppliers and contractors with local experience, clear pricing, and reliable delivery records; ask for references and examples of similar Marietta projects. Confirm minimum order sizes, delivery equipment (dump trucks), and whether they handle permit or site-prep coordination. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and can help arrange delivery and answer material questions.

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.
