Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Franklin County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Franklin County (population 24,000) sits within a mature Indiana Region (metro population 2.4+ million) where a 0.00% annual growth rate signals steady, renovation-driven demand rather than a construction boom. Homeowners here are more likely to update driveways, repair drainage, and improve outdoor living spaces than to build large new subdivisions. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 45.37 inches of rain annually—combined with a hardiness zone of 8a, shapes practical material needs: well-graded base materials for lasting surfaces, erosion-control mixes for wetter periods, and UV-resistant top layers for sunny months. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, choosing quality bulk materials that balance performance, drainage, and neighborhood aesthetics matters for long-term durability and curb appeal. Franklin County’s mix of sun and substantial rainfall creates materials challenges around drainage, compaction, and erosion. That means homeowners should favor materials and installation approaches designed for wet-dry cycles and local soil conditions—properly graded aggregates, stable fill, and erosion mitigation products. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand regional geology, providing tools to estimate quantities, and scheduling deliveries to match your project timeline so you can get the right materials in the right place when you need them.Popular Projects in Franklin County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Franklin County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Franklin County.
Costs vary by material and season, but pricing is commonly quoted per ton or per cubic yard with a minimum order (we require 3 tons). Expect a delivery fee or free delivery depending on distance and promos; next-day delivery may carry an extra charge. Ask for a detailed quote for your zip code to see exact per-ton or per-yard pricing and any minimums.
Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks operated by local haulers, which work well for residential driveways and rural properties. Standard delivery is typically scheduled for 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth you need, then use cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324 to get material in cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons by asking your supplier—typical conversions range from about 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material. Always round up and order a little extra for compaction, grading, and spillage.
For base layers and structural needs, compactable aggregates are common; for surfaces, choose from a range of textures and sizes depending on traffic and appearance preferences. Lifespans depend on installation and maintenance: properly installed base and surface materials can last many years, while temporary or loose surfacing will need more frequent topping. Consider local climate, expected traffic, and maintenance when selecting a material for longevity.
Franklin County experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and moderate precipitation, which can cause settling, heaving, or erosion if drainage and compaction are not handled properly. Schedule major deliveries and earthwork in late spring through early fall to avoid frozen ground and excessive wetness. Plan for proper drainage and use materials suited to resist local weather effects.
Rules vary by township and street; common considerations include county or state road weight restrictions, limitations on dumping in public right-of-way, and local permitting for long-term material storage or construction. Always check with your county or municipal office before placing large deliveries near a public road or in a regulated area. Your supplier or local hauler can often advise on common restrictions but cannot replace local permitting advice.
Steeper slopes and clay-rich soils increase the risk of rutting and drainage problems, so a stable base, more angular aggregates, and proper drainage measures are usually recommended. Flat, well-draining sites can use a wider range of surface materials and thinner sections. Have a contractor or sales rep review the site to match material choice and thickness to soil and slope conditions.
Late spring through early fall is generally the most reliable window for deliveries and installations, because soils are less likely to be frozen or overly wet. Winter deliveries are possible but can be slower, and frozen or muddy ground may limit placement and compaction work. Book ahead of peak season to secure your preferred delivery date.
Suppliers and contractors commonly offer grading, compaction, and haul-away of old material, though availability and pricing vary by provider. These services add cost but can save time and improve results; get written estimates for any additional work. Request these services at checkout or when you get a quote so they can be scheduled with the delivery.
Clear a safe, level drop area and mark utility lines, low-hanging branches, drainage features, and any obstacles for the driver. Ensure the drive access can support a loaded dump truck and consider protecting landscaping and paved surfaces with plywood if needed. Communicate placement preferences in the order notes, but expect the driver to make the final call based on safety and access.
Standard lead time is usually 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST at an added fee. Suppliers often offer better unit pricing for larger orders or repeat contractor accounts—ask about bulk discounts when requesting a quote. Lead times and discounts vary by local availability and season, so confirm details for your zip code.
Contact customer service as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched and we will work to resolve issues satisfactorily. Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture can vary, so document concerns with photos and order details when reporting a problem. Check the refund policy for specifics on remedies and follow-up steps.
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.
