Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Salem, KY

Start by matching function to material: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance. For driveways and high-traffic areas choose a material that compacts well and sheds water; for paths and patios prioritize texture and finish. In West Kentucky, local sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, and stone will vary in color and texture, so ask for local examples or order a small test load if color and consistency matter.

Consider drainage, slope, and local rainfall patterns: materials that allow water through help prevent pooling and erosion on slopes. Choose stable, angular materials for erosion control and looser materials where you need good water infiltration. Because materials are regionally sourced, check with our team about products that perform well in Salem’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rains.

Standard delivery is scheduled for 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. We connect you with local suppliers and contracted truck fleets, so exact timing depends on local hauler schedules and site access. Expect minimum orders (3 tons) and confirm access and space for a dump truck before scheduling.

Estimate by measuring length, width, and depth of the area and converting to cubic yards or tons; our online calculator can help with common conversions. Different materials have different densities, so a calculator or our team can translate cubic yards to tons for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Round up slightly to allow for compaction and grading, and contact us if you want help estimating for irregular shapes.

Costs depend on material type, quantity, delivery distance, truck size, and local supply. You may see extra fees for next-day delivery, difficult access, or requested spreading services. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front, but check order notes and delivery options for any additional charges.

Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout, but drivers perform it only at their discretion based on safety and site conditions; no spreading guarantees are provided. Same-day delivery is uncommon; next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST and a fee applies. Always confirm your preferred delivery date during checkout and prepare the site for truck access.

Clear and mark the drop area, remove low-hanging branches or obstacles, and ensure there is enough room for a tri-axle dump truck and safe turning. Plan deliveries when ground is firm to avoid ruts, and communicate any driveway weight limits or narrow roads to our team. Having a contact on site for the driver and noting any placement preferences in Order Notes helps avoid delays.

Permit needs depend on local rules, HOA covenants, and whether you are altering drainage or installing a driveway, so check Salem city or county offices and your HOA before ordering. For major changes to driveways or impervious surfaces you may need a permit or inspections. If in doubt, contact local authorities or our support team for common considerations when planning delivery.

Contractors should book larger quantities early, especially in smaller tier-3 markets where supplier inventory and truck availability can vary. Provide clear site access instructions, choose appropriate delivery windows, and use our material calculator to estimate quantities. We work with local suppliers to support contractor needs, but lead times and truck types depend on local vendor capacity.

Because materials are regionally sourced, color, texture, and particle size can vary from photos or samples. We recommend ordering a small test load or checking local examples when appearance matters. If you have concerns after delivery, contact customer service promptly and we will work to address the issue according to our policies.

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.
