Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Oglethorpe, GA

Start by identifying the main purpose: drainage, driveway base, decorative beds, or grading. Consider local climate and soil—Oglethorpe's regional sourcing means texture and color can vary—so choose a material that suits traffic, drainage needs, and appearance. Use our material calculator or contact our team for help matching gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends to your project and budget.

Common projects include driveways, pathways, garden beds, base layers for patios and grading or fill work. Quantities vary by project size, but small garden beds often need 1-3 tons, a single-car driveway base commonly requires 6-20+ tons, and larger jobs scale up from there. Use our online calculator or provide project dimensions so we can recommend an estimate.

Prices vary by material, quality, and delivery distance; most bulk landscaping materials in the West Georgia area typically range from about $20 to $80 per ton. Decorative or specialty products and delivery fees can increase cost, while bulk orders and regional sourcing may reduce per-ton prices. Contact our team or request a quote for a more accurate estimate for your zip code.

Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days from the time of order, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You select a preferred delivery date during checkout and we confirm scheduling with the local supplier and hauler. Keep in mind exact arrival times are not guaranteed and are subject to local routing and weather.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). Plan for safe truck access, firm ground for a heavy vehicle, adequate turning radius, and no low-hanging wires; leave clear order notes about placement and site access. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Spring and fall are generally the easiest seasons for deliveries and installation in Oglethorpe because the ground is usually stable and temperatures are moderate. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rain periods or when the ground is saturated, as muddy sites can prevent truck access. Book earlier in the busy season to secure contractor and supplier availability.

Small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but driveway reconstructions, curb cuts, work in a public right-of-way, or deliveries that require blocking a street may require local city or county permits. Permit rules vary, so check with Oglethorpe city hall or the county permitting office before starting larger projects. If you are working with a contractor, they can often advise on permit needs.

For standard material delivery, allow at least 2 business days for scheduling; during busy seasons, suppliers and contractors often book 1-4 weeks in advance. For larger or time-sensitive projects, reserve materials and crews as early as possible to avoid scheduling delays. Confirm lead times with both your contractor and our team when you place the order.

Lifespan depends on use, preparation, and drainage: well-prepared bases with proper compaction and drainage last longer and require less frequent topping. Expect periodic maintenance like regrading, adding material to low spots, and weed control for most aggregate surfaces. Regular inspections after wet seasons help catch issues early and extend performance.

Contractors commonly recommend proper subgrade preparation including removing organic topsoil, compacting the native soil, and installing a compacted aggregate base or geotextile fabric where drainage or soft soils are a concern. Slope and drainage should be addressed so water moves away from structures rather than pooling on the surface. Local soils in the Oglethorpe area can be clay-prone, so good drainage and compaction are especially important.

First define the project's main function: drainage-focused projects need coarser, free-draining material, structural bases need angular, compactible material, and decorative beds prioritize color and texture. Balance function, appearance, and budget when choosing a material, and use sample swatches or small test areas when appearance matters. Our sales team can guide you through tradeoffs for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends for your specific site in Oglethorpe.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
