Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Elizabeth Town, KY

Homeowners and contractors in Elizabeth Town typically choose from a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for common tasks like base layers, finish surfaces, fill, drainage, and leveling. Each group of materials has different drainage, compaction, and appearance characteristics, so selection depends on traffic, slope, and desired look rather than a single "best" option.

Choose materials based on the job: good-draining and well-compacting materials for driveways, finer materials for leveling and topsoil blends for planting beds, and decorative mixes for curb appeal. Consider site conditions (drainage and slope), expected traffic, maintenance needs, and the local appearance you want; our material calculator and sales team can help match options to your project.

Elizabeth Town experiences seasonal temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles that can cause settlement or frost heave if materials are poorly drained or uncompacted. Using well-draining aggregates, proper base preparation, and thorough compaction reduces movement and improves longevity across seasons. Expect some natural settling over time and plan for occasional top-ups or regrading for high-traffic areas.

The most convenient time is generally spring through fall when ground conditions are drier and crews can compact and finish properly. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during freezing winter periods or after prolonged rain when the site is soft, because wet or frozen ground can increase mess and reduce material performance.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply (length x width x depth) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using a density estimate for your material (common ranges are roughly 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on the material), then round up 5-10% for waste and settling. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to confirm estimates for your specific material and project.

Costs vary by material type, order size, distance from the source, and local supplier rates; as a result prices can range widely. For planning purposes, many customers see order-level pricing that reflects per-ton material plus a delivery fee; the best way to get an accurate cost is to enter your zip code on our site and request a quote, which will show material and delivery pricing for your location.

Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, while next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks) with a minimum order of 3 tons; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but that service is not guaranteed.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by property and project type, so check with the City of Elizabeth Town building or public works department and your HOA before starting work. Common issues include curb cuts, driveway encroachments, stormwater or grading changes, and visibility setbacks—getting clarification in advance avoids delays or rework.

DIY can be suitable for small projects like garden beds or small pathways, but larger drives, extensive grading, or projects requiring compaction and machinery usually benefit from a contractor. Labor costs depend on scope, equipment needs, and local rates; contractors bring experience with site prep, compaction, and drainage that can prevent costly repairs later—get multiple bids and factor labor into your project budget.

Clear access and any obstacles, mark buried utilities if you will be digging, and select a stable drop zone with enough room for a tri-axle truck to approach and turn around. Provide delivery notes at checkout for gates, preferred drop spot, or contact info; the driver will assess access on arrival and may refuse or alter the drop if the site is unsafe or cannot accommodate the truck.

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.
