1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

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.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request.

Why Union County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Union County has a population of 12, yet it sits within a larger metro area of 2.5+ million people and is experiencing a steady 2.50% annual growth rate. That steady growth points to consistent, ongoing demand for home and landscape improvements—driveways, patios, garden renovations, and small infrastructure projects—rather than a sudden construction boom. With 228 sunny days, 33.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local climate and geography shape which materials perform best: you need supplies that manage both sun exposure and periodic moisture, support plantings suited to moderate temperatures, and hold up over time. In this environment, quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and other aggregates—matter because they influence drainage, stability, and finished appearance across yards and small projects.Popular Projects in Union County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Union County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Union County.
For driveways and landscaping in Union County, customers typically choose from a mix of bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. These materials serve different roles—some provide structural base and drainage while others are for surface finish or planting beds. Your choice should be based on the function (base vs surface), local soil and drainage conditions, and the look you want.
Start by defining the project's function: load-bearing areas (driveways, pathways) need stronger base materials, while patios, planting beds, and decorative areas need finer or more uniform surface materials. Consider local climate impacts like freeze-thaw and drainage needs, and factor in local soil type. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for guidance on material combinations and depths.
Union County's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and spring precipitation can affect compaction, settling, and drainage. Wet seasons make delivery and on-site spreading harder and can cause materials to rut or wash if not installed with proper drainage. Plan heavy grading or installation during drier months when possible, and allow extra curing or compaction time after wet weather.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Small residential orders are often filled faster, while very large contractor orders may need several days to a week or more to schedule depending on supplier availability and season. You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout and we'll confirm schedules with local suppliers and haulers.
Rural deliveries may face narrow lanes, low-hanging trees, soft driveways, or limited turnaround space for tri-axle dump trucks. Provide clear access instructions and a stable drop zone in your Order Notes, and expect drivers to assess site safety on arrival. In some rural or restricted-access cases, delivery may need a smaller truck, a different drop location, or additional trucking fees.
Hello Gravel's platform generally enforces a minimum order of 3 tons, which is common for bulk delivery services. Actual cost depends on material type, quantity, distance to supplier, site access, and any added services like next-day delivery or special truck sizes. For a clear estimate, use the online checkout to enter your zip code and quantity or request a quote from our team.
Most residential deliveries do not require permits, but larger commercial or municipal jobs may require local permits or right-of-way approvals. Prepare the site by marking utilities, clearing a stable drop area, and protecting landscaping or paved surfaces where trucks will operate. If a permit is needed for large loads or off-road work, check with Union County authorities and let our team know so we can coordinate with suppliers.
Suppliers may offer different pricing tiers or bulk discounts based on order size and frequency, so contractors placing large or repeat orders often see better per-ton pricing. Homeowners tend to order smaller quantities and pay standard retail pricing plus delivery. Hello Gravel transparently displays pricing and connects you to local suppliers so you can compare options and order size impacts before you commit.
Small residential loads are commonly scheduled within a few days, while large or custom-graded loads for contractors can take longer to arrange, sometimes up to a week or more. Seasonal demand and supplier stock levels also affect lead times, especially in spring and fall. If you have a tight timeline, choose next-day delivery when available and contact our team to prioritize scheduling.
Common projects include driveway installation or repair, patios and walkways, drainage and erosion control, raised beds and landscape mulch areas, and grading or fill for new construction. Each project type has different material and depth needs, so plan quantities and material types in advance. Use our material calculator or contact us for project-specific estimates.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using a general range (many bulk materials weigh about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, depending on the material). Round up slightly to allow for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. If you prefer, use our online calculator or text our sales team for a quick estimate.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed; request it at checkout and expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival. Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change an order—changes are easier before dispatch but not always possible after a truck is loaded. For damaged or incorrect deliveries, contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue according to our policies.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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!
