Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Science Hill, KY

Homeowners and contractors in Science Hill often choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, pads, drainage trenches, and garden beds. These materials are used as base layers, surface coverings, or soil amendments depending on the project and local soil. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so consider appearance and function when selecting materials.

Choose materials based on load, drainage needs, and maintenance: sturdier, angular aggregates are better for driveways, while finer materials work for leveling and planting beds. Consider slope, access for vehicles and delivery trucks, and desired look. If unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance on several material options and quantities.

Science Hill’s seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles make drainage and proper base preparation important for longevity. Clay or compacted native soils can hold water and cause settling, so add a drainage layer or geotextile and choose materials that shed water. Regular maintenance like regrading and topping up materials will extend life in local conditions.

Spring through early fall is usually best to avoid frozen ground and heavy winter precipitation that slow work and delivery. Summers can be hot, so plan early starts for installation crews. For delivery timing, standard service requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST.

Deliveries are made by professional dump trucks from local suppliers; minimum order is typically 3 tons and standard delivery takes 2+ business days. Pick a clear drop zone with truck access, mark utilities and obstacles, and add special instructions in Order Notes. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on depth, then multiply to get cubic yards and convert to tons using our material calculator. Conversion varies by material, so use an online calculator or Hello Gravel’s tool for more accurate estimates. Order a little extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste; our team can help refine the estimate for your project.

Local regulations and HOA rules vary, so check with Science Hill town offices, Pulaski County planning, and any HOA before starting work. Some rules address driveway widths, curb cuts, sight lines, and stormwater runoff. If you need help, our team can point you toward common local requirements, but you should verify approvals prior to delivery.

For slopes, coarser aggregates and layered solutions often perform best: a firm base, geotextile fabric, terracing or retaining features, and surface material suited to runoff control. Combine hard materials with vegetation or mulch to slow water and stabilize soil. Match the approach to slope steepness, soil type, and desired maintenance level.

Base materials and common gravels tend to be less expensive per ton than decorative stone or specialty blends, but total cost depends on delivery, compaction, labor, and site prep. Maintenance costs vary: low-maintenance options need occasional topping and weed control, while decorative surfaces may require more frequent attention. Get a project estimate that includes material, delivery, and typical installation labor to compare options.

Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos; add preferences in Order Notes but expect some variation. Contact our customer service as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easier before the order ships. If there’s an issue on delivery, document it with photos and contact us so we can help resolve it according to our policies.

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.
