Why New Athens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Athens is a small community with a population of 2,760. Its steady growth rate of 1.20% annually points to consistent, manageable demand for home improvements and light construction — regular driveway repairs, garden upgrades, and modest new builds rather than a sudden building boom. With 228 sunny days annually, 35.50 inches of rain, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects benefit from a long working season but must balance sun exposure with periodic rainfall. These conditions make durable, well-draining materials important and increase demand for dependable bulk supplies like soil blends, base stone, sand, and mulches that perform through wet-dry cycles. Homeowners increasingly prioritize low-maintenance landscaping and erosion control, so selecting the right aggregate or soil mix matters for both appearance and long-term performance.Popular Projects in New Athens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Athens Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Athens.
Choose materials based on use, drainage, and appearance. For driveways and areas with vehicle traffic pick a material that compacts well and sheds water; for garden beds focus on moisture retention and weed control. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw cycles) and the look you want, then use a sample or small test area before ordering large quantities.
Bulk materials are usually priced per ton, per cubic yard, or as a flat delivery fee for small loads. Final cost depends on material type, load size, distance, and seasonal demand; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows upfront pricing and quotes. Always request an itemized quote including delivery so you can compare per-ton and per-yard rates.
Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall in this region can cause settling and frost heave if materials and bases are not installed correctly. Good drainage, proper compaction, and using a stable base layer help reduce movement and erosion. Plan for slightly more material than nominal estimates to allow for settling after winter.
Late spring through early fall is generally ideal for deliveries and installations because ground is unfrozen and crews can compact and finish surfaces properly. Avoid placing most materials on frozen or excessively wet ground; you may also face longer lead times in peak season. For urgent needs, next-day delivery is often available if ordered before cutoff times, but it may cost extra.
Local rules vary by municipality and county, and some areas require permits for driveway cuts, curb work, or notable grading changes. Check with New Athens village hall or the Washington County office before major work, especially if altering drainage, changing a curb cut, or storing large stockpiles in the public right-of-way. If you are unsure, your contractor or Hello Gravel customer team can point you toward local resources.
Suppliers typically deliver within a regional radius from their pit or yard; rural deliveries may incur additional mileage fees or minimum charges. Hello Gravel works with local haulers and often offers free delivery in many areas, but long hauls, tight access, or small orders can add a fee. Provide exact address and access notes at checkout to get an accurate delivery estimate.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth you need, then use a cubic yard calculator to convert to volume; a simple rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard covers about 100 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. Because weights vary by material, 1 cubic yard can equal roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on type and moisture content, so use a materials calculator or request help from the Hello Gravel team for a tonnage estimate. Always order a small buffer (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading adjustments.
Compare materials on drainage, compaction, durability under traffic, maintenance needs, and appearance rather than price alone. Think about whether you need good load-bearing capacity, easy weed control, or a decorative finish, and pick materials that meet those needs in New Athens' climate. Ask for local examples or photos so you can see how materials weather and age in your area.
Lead times vary but can stretch from a few days to a few weeks during spring and early summer when demand is highest. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day options if placed before the cutoff, but contractors may need more notice for scheduling labor. Place orders early and confirm both material and crew availability to avoid delays.
Contractors typically source materials from regional quarries and yards to get consistent supply and lower delivery costs. Key factors are price, material consistency, availability, delivery reliability, and the hauler's ability to access job sites. Contractors often prefer suppliers who can schedule regular deliveries and provide clear quantities and weights.
Dump trucks usually drop material from the tailgate and placement depends on site access, overhead clearance, and truck maneuverability. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety and time constraints. For precise placement or spreading, arrange for a crew or plan to rent small equipment to move and finish the material.
Contact the Hello Gravel team as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. If there is a delivery issue or material concern, report it promptly so customer service can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it, following our standard issue-resolution process. Refer to the refund and claims information for details on how those situations are handled.
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.
