Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Independence, KY

Homeowners in Independence commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates for driveways, base layers, and planting beds. These materials are chosen based on drainage needs, load-bearing requirements, and desired appearance. Hello Gravel shows regional options so you can pick textures and colors that match local geology.

Start by defining the project's function: drainage, load support, or decorative finish. Consider local conditions like soil type and rainfall, then use the Hello Gravel material descriptions and calculator to compare options. Our team can help if you need guidance on a material that balances cost, durability, and appearance.

Prices vary by material, quantity, and supplier, but a rough range in the West Kentucky area is about $15 to $50 per ton or $20 to $70 per cubic yard for common aggregates. Heavier, specialty, or washed materials usually cost more, while bulk orders and local sourcing can reduce per-unit costs. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact quotes and any available delivery offers.

Measure the area in square feet, decide the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. To estimate tons, multiply cubic yards by an approximate density (commonly 1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on the material). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick, material-specific estimate and round up for compaction and waste.

Yes. Independence experiences freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains that can affect compaction and settling. Harder, better-draining mixes are preferred for freeze-prone areas, and late spring through early fall is often best for delivery and installation. Schedule deliveries allowing time for dry access and avoid placing materials on frozen or oversaturated ground when possible.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by neighborhood and project type. Small deliveries for landscaping usually do not need permits, but driveway resurfacing, grading, or soil disturbance may trigger local permits or HOA rules. Check Independence city and county guidelines and consult your HOA before ordering; Hello Gravel can note special delivery instructions but cannot advise on permits.

Clay or compacted soils with poor drainage often need a granular base to improve stability and reduce standing water, while sandy soils may require materials that retain shape under load. Choosing a material that promotes drainage and resists migration into native soils will extend service life. If you have drainage concerns, ask our team for material combos and preparation tips tailored to local conditions.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, site access, and local supplier; many areas offer free delivery for qualifying orders. Expect deliveries by tri-axle dump trucks; provide clear access, mark low-hanging wires, and ensure surface can bear truck weight to avoid delays or added fees.

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 the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival. For precise placement or detailed spreading, arrange for a landscaper or contractor or plan to rent a small loader or wheelbarrow for final distribution.

Due to regional sourcing, coloration and texture can vary from photos; this is normal for natural materials. Contact Hello Gravel promptly if you need to modify an order—the sooner you call, the easier it is to accommodate changes before processing or dispatch. For quality concerns, reach out to customer service with photos so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution per our policies.

Local contractors typically suggest using well-graded, durable aggregates combined with proper grading and drainage to reduce maintenance and prevent erosion. Layering materials for a stable base and adding edging or geotextile fabric in slope areas helps retain material and control runoff. Describe your goals and site conditions to Hello Gravel and we can recommend material blends that match contractor preferences in the Independence area.

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.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
