Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Paducah, KY

Homeowners in Paducah typically order a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, patios, drainage, and garden beds. The right choice depends on function—drainage, compaction, or decorative appearance—so consider how the area will be used and what performance you need. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary locally, so ask for photos or descriptions when ordering.

Start by defining the project goal: drainage, stability, or curb appeal. For areas that need good drainage choose coarser, well-draining mixes; for compacted base use firmer aggregates; for top dressing pick an attractive, smaller-sized material. If uncertain, use a materials calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a recommendation.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area, then convert to cubic yards using the formula: length x width x depth (in feet) divided by 27. Multiply cubic yards by local density or use an online calculator to convert to tons, and check our checkout for per-ton or per-yard pricing. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and local delivery, season, and material type all affect final cost.

For humid and flood-prone spots prioritize materials that drain well and resist washout, plus proper grading to shed water away from structures. Combine good base material with geotextile fabric and elevation where needed to reduce settling and erosion. Always consider a contractor or our team recommendation for riverfront or low-lying sites.

Many suppliers deliver to rural and riverfront properties in the Paducah area, but delivery depends on road access, gate clearance, and local weight restrictions. Typical delivery trucks are tri-axle dump trucks, so provide details about gate width, overhead clearance, and driveway strength when ordering. If access is limited, we can coordinate alternative drop points or smaller truck options where available.

Ensure a clear route at least the width of a standard dump truck, remove low-hanging branches or wires, and confirm gate and driveway clearance. Check local road weight limits or bridge restrictions on rural approaches and tell us about tight turns or narrow easements before scheduling. The driver will assess safety on arrival and may decline to enter if conditions are unsafe.

Schedule deliveries during the drier months when ground conditions are firm—typically late spring through early fall—to reduce the risk of soft-ground delays and truck access problems. Avoid major storm seasons and be aware that heavy rains or local flooding can affect timing. We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST when feasible.

Materials differ in particle size and permeability, which determines how well they allow water to pass through and resist movement in flow conditions. Coarser, angular materials tend to stay in place and drain well, while finer materials may pack and retain water; staged layers with larger materials beneath and finer surfacing often work best. For erosion-prone slopes, combine proper grading, vegetation, and engineered fabric with the right aggregates for long-term stability.

Local zoning, floodplain rules, and HOA covenants can affect allowable materials, surface types, and delivery access, especially near riverfront or historic areas. Always check with Paducah city planning or your HOA before starting work and mention any permit requirements when ordering so deliveries can be coordinated. If you need guidance, our team can help identify common considerations but cannot substitute for official permitting advice.

Orders are scheduled through our platform and fulfilled by trusted local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers, typically using tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. You can choose a delivery date during checkout and add order notes to describe access or placement preferences.

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.
