Local soils and drainage determine how well a material compacts, sheds water, and resists frost movement, so choose materials that match the site conditions. If you have heavy clay or poor drainage, select materials and construction methods that improve drainage and reduce water retention; for sandy or well-drained sites you can often use more permeable mixes. When in doubt, share photos and site details with our team or a local contractor to get a recommended approach.

Spring and summer are the most flexible times for deliveries and installation because ground is generally drier and less prone to frost heave. Avoid scheduling major material deliveries during freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, or winter snow when compaction and spreading become difficult. If you need off-season delivery, plan for potential access issues and check lead times early.

Standard delivery typically requires at least 2 business days for scheduling, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Peak season is usually spring through early fall when demand for landscape and driveway projects is highest, so book early to secure your preferred date. Weekends and late-season slots can fill quickly, especially for larger orders.

Permit requirements vary by project scope, location, and local regulations, so check with Auburn’s city building or public works department and your county office before starting major grading or driveway changes. Homeowners should also verify HOA rules if applicable, since some associations restrict surface materials or delivery staging. If you’re unsure, our team can help point you to local contacts to confirm requirements.

Most suppliers provide dump truck delivery (typically tri-axle) and will place material within safe reach of the truck; optional tailgate spreading may be requested but is done at the driver’s discretion. Some local suppliers or contractors offer additional services like machine spreading, compaction, or equipment rental for an added fee—ask for those options when you request a quote. Note that availability of these services varies by supplier and job site access.

A common method is to calculate cubic yards: multiply the area in square feet by the desired depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards. Converting to tons depends on material density, so use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or ask for a supplier-provided yield estimate to avoid underordering. Always add a small allowance (usually 5-10%) for compaction and grading losses.

Yes, homeowners associations and local ordinances can restrict surface materials, curb cuts, driveway widths, or staging on public streets, so review your HOA rules and check city regulations before ordering. Delivery access can also be limited by road weight limits, low-hanging wires, or narrow driveways—note any access constraints in your order notes. If in doubt, request a site check or consult your HOA and the city to avoid surprises during delivery.

Good site preparation is the key: ensure proper grading so water slopes away from structures, install drainage features where needed, and use layered construction with appropriate base and surface materials. Stabilize weak soils with geotextile or a compacted base and compact materials in lifts to reduce settling and frost movement. For best results, combine material selection with proper drainage design and compaction rather than relying on a single product.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order (commonly 3 tons) and arranges delivery through local dump truck fleets, often using tri-axle trucks. You can choose a delivery date at checkout; standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers will place loads where safe and accessible and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.

Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low branches, lawn furniture, and other obstacles, and mark property lines or preferred dump locations to guide the driver. Make sure there is adequate truck access and that soft ground, overhead lines, or narrow gates are noted in your order notes. Communicate special instructions with our team ahead of time so suppliers can plan the safest and most efficient delivery.

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

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
