Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Frankfort, KY

Choose materials based on use, drainage, and maintenance needs. For driveways and high-traffic areas pick well-draining, compactable mixes; for planting beds and topsoil needs choose materials that support vegetation and retain moisture. Consider local freeze-thaw conditions in Frankfort and ask our team for help matching gravel, sand, dirt, stone to your project and budget.

Delivery cost depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, site access, and any special services requested. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing during checkout and requires a minimum order of 3 tons; free delivery is available in many areas but fees may apply for long hauls or next-day service. Contact sales for a tailored quote for Frankfort deliveries.

Materials that drain well and compact to a stable base perform best through freeze-thaw cycles. Blended aggregates and angular stone mixes usually resist heaving better than fine, non-draining materials, while dirt or topsoil should be protected with proper grading and vegetation. Your specific choice should balance drainage, compaction needs, and the intended use of the area.

Spring through fall is generally best for most landscaping and driveway projects in Frankfort because ground conditions are easier to work with and plantings establish well. Winter work is possible for material delivery and base work, but frozen or wet ground can slow installation and affect compaction. Plan around planting seasons and any local permit timelines.

Installation and labor can be a large portion of total project cost, depending on prep work, grading, compaction, edging, and any required heavy equipment. Materials are priced separately from installation; get multiple bids from contractors and factor in disposal, delivery placement, and site prep. Hello Gravel can provide material estimates so you can compare labor quotes accurately.

Assess slope steepness, soil type, drainage paths, and vegetation goals before selecting materials. Combining proper grading, erosion-control fabric, and heavier aggregates or riprap near concentrated flow areas often works better than loose fine materials alone. Consider terraces, retaining structures, and native plantings to reduce long-term maintenance and runoff on Frankfort slopes.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by project and location in Frankfort; curb cuts, driveway expansions, and significant changes to impervious surface areas often require city permits. Check with the Frankfort building department and any HOA before starting work, and include permit timelines in your project schedule. If you need help understanding local rules, our team can point you to the right local contacts.

For drainage you generally want coarser, well-graded aggregate that allows water to pass through easily; for leveling or bedding pavers, a cleaner sand or 2-part sand/aggregate blend may be more appropriate. Many projects use a combination of materials—drainage base with a finer top layer—so choose based on function rather than style alone. If you are unsure, use our material calculator or talk to our sales team for a recommendation that suits Frankfort conditions.

Lifespan varies by material, installation quality, and use; well-prepared aggregate driveways and walkways can last 5 to 20+ years with periodic maintenance like regrading or adding material. Softer materials may need more frequent topping, while properly compacted bases and good drainage extend life regardless of material type. Regular maintenance and addressing drainage issues quickly will improve longevity.

Materials are delivered by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and require clear access, sufficient turning radius, and a safe drop location. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout. Provide accurate site notes and photos during ordering to help drivers plan placement and reduce the chance of delays or access issues.

Measure length, width, and desired depth to calculate volume and use our online material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons, since different materials have different densities. As a rule of thumb, include a small overage for compaction and grading, and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Contact our team with your measurements if you want a quick estimate or help translating plans into order quantities.

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.
