Why Montrose Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Montrose is a small but active community of 860 residents where steady expansion is driving practical demand for home and small-scale commercial projects. At a growth rate of 1.20% annually, development here is steady rather than explosive — that means ongoing needs for repairs, yard upgrades, and infill construction rather than rapid large-lot subdivision. With a climate characterized by hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days a year, and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners often balance sun exposure with periodic moisture. Those conditions make thinking beyond aesthetics important: consistent gradation, good drainage, and reliable compaction matter for driveways, walkways, raised beds, and erosion control. Whether you are ordering gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, or stone, choosing locally sourced, quality bulk materials reduces surprises on delivery day and improves long-term performance in Montrose’s environment.Popular Projects in Montrose This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Montrose Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Montrose.
Montrose experiences freeze/thaw cycles in winter and spring runoff that can shift loose material and affect compaction. Choose materials and installation methods that tolerate freezing, shed water, and allow for drainage; for example use a well-compacted base and consider permeable top layers. The group of materials gravel, sand, dirt, stone will behave differently in freeze/thaw conditions, so plan for extra compaction and edging where cycles are severe.
Nearby soils often include heavier clays and loams that can hold water and cause poor drainage or settling. That makes permeability and subgrade preparation important: add a properly graded base, use a geotextile where needed, and select surface materials that promote runoff. For materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, consider how each interacts with local soils and whether extra grading or drainage features are needed.
Permit and ordinance requirements vary by city and county, so check Montrose and the county office before starting projects that alter driveways, curb lines, or stormwater flow. Some jobs may need a driveway permit, right-of-way approval, or HOA permission if applicable. Also call 811 for utility locates before digging and note that delivery drivers will follow local rules during drop-off.
Local roads, bridge weight limits, narrow lanes, and HOA rules can restrict truck access or the size of loads allowed on residential streets. Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks and has a 3-ton minimum order, but drivers will assess site access and may refuse unsafe drops or suggest an alternate delivery location. Inform us about tight driveways, low-hanging wires, or permit restrictions when you order so we can coordinate with the hauler.
Costs vary by distance to the supplier, material type, quantity, season, and site access, so exact prices depend on your zip code and order details. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout and many areas offer free delivery, but delivery fees and next-day options may apply. For labor or installation, local contractor rates vary; ask for written estimates and factor in grading, compaction, and any permit costs.
Effective approaches combine proper grading, durable edging, and permeable materials to direct water to swales or drains. Use a stable base, geotextile when separating poor soils, and select materials that resist washout for slopes; vegetation and terraces also help reduce erosion. These strategies apply whether you are using gravel, sand, dirt, stone or a combination of materials.
Spring through early fall is the busy season because milder weather and unfrozen ground make grading, compaction, and spreading easier. Winter months bring freeze/thaw and limited access, which can slow work and increase risk of settling, so expect longer lead times or limited services in winter. Book spring projects early to secure suppliers and truck availability.
Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so availability reflects local geology and supplier inventory; common aggregates are often available quickly but specialty or colored mixes may have longer lead times. Typical delivery windows are standard 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Check stock and delivery dates in checkout and contact our team if you have tight scheduling needs.
Typical compacted depths are: walkways 2-4 inches, patios 4-6 inches, and residential driveways 4-8 inches depending on soil and expected loads; heavier vehicle use or poor soils require thicker, well-compacted bases. Calculate volume by area times depth and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so round up to cover compaction and settling. Always factor in base prep, compaction, and any edging when estimating material needs for gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
Ask how each option performs with freeze/thaw, how much routine maintenance (raking, replenishing, weed control) it needs, and how it handles drainage and vehicle loads. Compare upfront costs plus expected upkeep and lifespan, and confirm whether local suppliers stock the materials you prefer. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and contact our team for guidance on how gravel, sand, dirt, stone will meet your project's priorities.
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.
