Why Louisville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky (city population 643,907) is a growing metro with a broad footprint and practical material needs driven by steady expansion. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million and a growth rate of 1.80% annually, demand for home improvements, new yards, and infill construction is consistent rather than sporadic, so homeowners and contractors are frequently planning projects that require reliable bulk supplies. The local climate — 34.32 inches of annual rainfall, 228 sunny days per year, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — means projects must balance moisture management with a long growing season. That combination makes quality bulk materials such as soils, sands, mulches, and aggregates important for drainage, plant establishment, and durable hardscapes. Choosing the right mix and quantity up front reduces rework and future maintenance in Louisville’s variable mid-southern environment.Popular Projects in Louisville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Louisville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Louisville.
Costs depend on the material, quantity, and delivery distance. Suppliers price materials by the ton or cubic yard and may add a flat delivery fee based on your zip code and site access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing at checkout, so use the online quote tool or contact our team to get a precise estimate for your address.
Look for materials that drain well and lock together to resist movement during freeze-thaw and heavy rain. In Louisville, choosing materials from the gravel, sand, dirt, and stone group that offer good drainage and angular particles for stability will improve long-term performance. Regional sourcing means local mixes may be best suited, so ask our team for recommendations based on your specific slope and drainage conditions.
Most local suppliers working with Hello Gravel require a minimum order of about 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen during busy seasons, so order early for spring and large projects.
Yes, suppliers and haulers in our network deliver across Louisville and surrounding suburbs, but delivery zones and fees vary by zip code and supplier. Enter your zip at checkout to see availability and any distance-based fees. Some tight urban streets or properties with restricted access may require alternative drop-off arrangements.
Spring and early summer are the busiest times, which can push prices up and increase lead times. Winter can offer lower demand but may create access problems or limit placement when ground is frozen or muddy. We recommend scheduling deliveries ahead of peak seasons and checking local conditions before your delivery date.
Quantity depends on project size and desired depth, but typical small landscaping jobs need 1 to 5 tons, a small patio 2 to 6 tons, and a 2-car driveway often requires 20 to 40 tons depending on length and base depth. Use our material calculator for precise amounts based on square footage and desired depth, or contact our team with project dimensions for guidance.
Many neighborhoods in Louisville have local codes or HOAs that require permits or design approval for driveway and front-yard changes. Requirements vary by neighborhood and project scope, so check Louisville Metro planning departments and your HOA before ordering materials. Hello Gravel can advise on typical requirements but does not obtain permits for customers.
Drivers will assess site access on arrival and place material where it can be safely offloaded; placement depends on truck access, overhead wires, and ground conditions. Customers should clear obstacles, mark utilities, and note any access restrictions in the order notes to avoid delays or extra fees. If there is a dispute or damage, contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it.
Contractors typically recommend preparing a stable base, using geotextile fabric where soft soils exist, placing material in thin layers, and compacting each layer for best results. Ensure proper drainage away from structures and avoid placing fines into low spots where water collects. For specialized installations, consult a local contractor who understands Jefferson County soil and frost conditions.
Commercial orders are often larger and may receive better per-ton pricing and scheduled fleet service, while residential orders tend to be smaller and subject to minimums and possibly higher per-unit rates. Delivery fees and scheduling priorities can also differ based on order size and site complexity. For the best rate, request a quote that reflects your project size and timeline.
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.
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.

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!
