Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Franklin, KY

Hello Gravel serves Franklin and nearby zip codes but availability depends on your exact address—check your zip code at checkout. We require a minimum order of about 3 tons; delivery zones and any extra travel fees depend on distance from local suppliers and rural access conditions.

Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall in West Kentucky can make loosely placed materials shift or settle over time. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage and compaction, and consider a geotextile or a compacted base layer to reduce movement and extend longevity.

Local prices vary widely by material, supplier, distance, and load size, so exact rates change frequently. For an accurate, up-to-date price for gravel, sand, dirt, stone or mixes, request a quote for your Franklin zip code—Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and delivery fees at checkout.

Contractors choose material based on the project's purpose—stable, angular aggregates are often preferred for driveways; coarser, free-draining mixes are used for drainage; heavier or larger stone can help with erosion control on slopes. Talk through your site conditions and traffic needs so you can choose the best option from the range of gravel, sand, dirt, stone available.

Permit and hauling rules vary by city and county, and some roads or bridges may have weight or time-of-day restrictions. HOAs may have rules on visible material types or colors, so check local regulations and your HOA guidelines before ordering large deliveries.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Spring and fall are popular for outdoor projects; avoid scheduling heavy deliveries on saturated or frozen ground and plan early for busy seasons to secure preferred dates.

Access constraints like narrow roads, steep driveways, low overhead lines, or weak surfaces can limit truck types and may require smaller trucks or extra handling, which can raise costs. Provide detailed site notes and photos at checkout so suppliers and drivers can plan the safest and most cost-effective delivery method.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery via contracted truck fleets; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. For full spreading, grading, or compaction, we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor—ask us for guidance on finding local pros if needed.

Clay soils, high water tables, and steep slopes in the area affect drainage and compaction and may require different aggregate sizes or additional base work. Describe your terrain and soil issues when ordering so we can recommend a material mix from gravel, sand, dirt, stone that performs well for your specific conditions.

Customers frequently ask about how much material they need, whether the delivered color/texture will match photos, delivery timing, and whether spreading is included. We address these by offering a material calculator, explaining regional variation in color and texture, confirming lead times in checkout, and clarifying spreading is at the driver’s discretion.

Start by describing the project (driveway, drainage, garden bed, erosion control), expected traffic, desired look, and budget—those factors guide the best choices from gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Use Hello Gravel’s aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for tailored recommendations based on local conditions.

Measure the area in square feet, decide on the desired depth in inches, then multiply area by depth/12 and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. If you prefer tons or want help, use our online material calculator or contact our team—remember our 3-ton minimum and that regional material density affects ton-to-cubic-yard conversion.

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.
