Materials Available for Delivery
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
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.
#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.
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.

Why Shelby County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shelby County has a population of 4,200 and is part of a broader metro area with 2.5+ million people, and that steady 2.50% annual growth points to ongoing demand for housing, yards, and infrastructure improvements. For homeowners this means more remodeling, driveway work, drainage upgrades, and landscape projects that rely on reliable bulk materials. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b—creates a cycle of sun and regular precipitation that influences how materials perform. In practice, homeowners need a range of products (gravel, sand, soil, mulch, and stone) that balance drainage, stability, and weather resistance so projects last through both dry spells and wet seasons.Popular Projects in Shelby County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shelby County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shelby County.
Bulk materials are commonly used for driveways, patios, walkways, grading, and landscape beds as well as for site prep on small construction jobs. Whether you are a DIY homeowner fixing a driveway or a contractor prepping a lot, ordering online works for most residential and light commercial projects in Shelby County. Check material recommendations for each project and confirm delivery access for rural properties.
Start by identifying the project's function: drainage, load-bearing, or decorative. Consider local climate and soil—materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone behave differently in wet, freezing, or clay soils—then pick a material graded for that use and depth. If unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material guide or contact the sales team for suggestions based on your project.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then use a material calculator to convert to tons; most jobs require a minimum order of 3 tons. For example, a 12-by-20-foot area at 3 inches deep commonly needs about 1-2 tons depending on material density, so always round up for compaction and waste. When in doubt, get a quick quote and ask our team to double-check your estimate.
Spring and fall can be wet, which affects site access and compaction, while winter freeze-thaw cycles can shift loose materials. Schedule delivery for drier days when possible and allow time for proper grading and compaction before heavy use. If timing is tight, discuss next-day delivery options and staging areas with your hauler.
Hello Gravel coordinates local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers; standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers will assess access on arrival—narrow lanes, soft shoulders, low-hanging wires, and steep driveways can affect where material can be dumped. Provide clear delivery instructions and photos at checkout to improve delivery accuracy.
Price depends on material type, local availability, quantity ordered, and distance from the supplier, plus any special delivery needs like tight access or tailgate spreading. Seasonal demand and local quarries or pits also influence cost because regional sourcing reflects Shelby County geology. Review the upfront pricing at checkout and request a quote for specific delivery needs.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. You can request spreading at checkout and leave notes about the desired placement, but plan for potential DIY spreading or hiring local labor. For larger projects, consider booking professionals who specialize in grading and compaction.
Clear a staging area, mark the exact dump location with stakes or cones, and remove obstacles like toys, vehicles, or low branches. Make sure the access route is stable enough for a tri-axle dump truck and communicate any gate codes or narrow turns in the order notes. A little prep saves time and reduces the chance of partial or relocated dumps.
Choose materials based on function: select well-graded aggregates for load-bearing use, coarse materials for drainage, and finer materials for smoothing and top dressing. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, consider local soil interaction—materials that drain well work better on clay soils, while finer materials help topdress sandy or loamy soils. Ask Hello Gravel for recommendations tied to Shelby County conditions when in doubt.
Natural materials vary by source, so color and texture may differ from photos. If you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos so we can work with the supplier to address the issue. See the refund and issue-resolution options on our site for next steps.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay, and requires 2+ business days for standard delivery with a next-day option before noon CST for an added fee. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and add any special instructions to help the hauler. If you need to change an order, contact our team as soon as possible so we can try to accommodate you.
Compare materials by upfront cost, installation needs, and long-term maintenance: some materials are cheaper per ton but need more frequent topping up, while others cost more initially but last longer and reduce erosion. Consider drainage, compaction, and aesthetic goals when weighing options for driveways, beds, or grading. Use Hello Gravel’s online material guides and quiz to narrow choices, then get a quote that includes delivery to your Shelby County address.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
