Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Whitesburg, KY

Start by matching the material to the job’s function: load-bearing surfaces need more durable, compactable aggregates; planting beds or leveling may use finer materials. Consider appearance, drainage needs, maintenance, and budget, and remember that regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. Use our material calculator or quiz for a starting recommendation, then contact our team to confirm the best option for your site and goals.

Whitesburg’s hilly terrain and wet seasons increase risk of erosion and washout, while freeze-thaw cycles can shift loosely placed materials. Good drainage, proper depth, and occasional maintenance (regrading or topping up) help keep surfaces stable. For sloped areas, consider additional measures like geotextile, edging, or increased compaction to reduce movement.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 1 inch of depth, and a cubic yard usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material. For example, a 200 sq ft area at 3 inches deep is roughly 1.9 cubic yards, or about 2.3 to 3.0 tons. Use our online calculator for precise estimates and round up to allow for compaction and grading.

The best window is typically late spring through early fall when ground conditions are drier and weather is more predictable. Winter freeze or spring rains can delay installation, make delivery harder, and affect compaction. If you need a fast turnaround, book early and consider our next-day option (available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee).

Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum order is generally 3 tons, and materials are delivered by local contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Delivery fees can vary by distance, access, and site complexity, so check your zip code and delivery cost at checkout.

Truck access, overhead obstructions, tight turns, and soft ground can affect whether a driver can place material where you want it. Take photos and add delivery notes during checkout, and mark the desired drop area on site; drivers will assess safety and may decline placement that risks equipment or property. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout—drivers may do it at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

You should check with Whitesburg city offices, Letcher County, and any HOA for rules about driveways, erosion control, or visible exterior changes before ordering. Always call 811 for utility locates before digging or heavy placement to avoid buried lines. If you’re unsure, our team can help point you to local resources, but it’s your responsibility to obtain required permits and approvals.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, natural variation in color, texture, and size is normal and reflects local geology. Photos are representative; they aren’t exact matches. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and our team will attempt to match them when possible, but we can’t guarantee an exact appearance.

Contractors typically ask about project dimensions, desired finished surface and thickness, expected vehicle loads, site access and staging, drainage and grade, and preferred delivery window. They may also request photos, gate or driveway width, and any restrictions like HOA rules or permits. Having measurements and pictures ready speeds up accurate quotes and material selection.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. If there's an issue at delivery (damage, short load, or unsafe placement), notify us promptly and we will work to resolve it per our policies. Refunds and adjustments follow our standard procedures, so check the order confirmation and our support team for next steps.

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.
