Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Loranger, LA

Choose materials based on use rather than a single 'best' option: look for aggregates that compact well and resist washout in heavy rain. In West Louisiana's heat and humidity, pick materials with good drainage and stability to limit rutting and erosion. Test or consult about local mixes since regional sourcing means texture and performance can vary.

Factor in drainage and compaction: materials that allow water to pass through reduce pooling and freeze-thaw stress is less of a concern here than erosion from heavy rain. Expect regional variations in color and grain size, and choose materials and installation methods that improve runoff control and reduce settling. Ask about additives or base layers if flooding or standing water is likely.

Consider soil type, slope, drainage patterns, and any flood risk on the property. Low spots or clay soils may need extra base material and compaction to prevent sinking, while sloped sites may need coarser, better-draining aggregates. If your property is in a flood-prone area, discuss higher elevation, edging, or alternative materials with our team.

Many local suppliers and haulers serve rural addresses, but delivery depends on road access, restrictions, and truck size. Tri-axle dump trucks are typical, so narrow lanes, low overhead wires, or soft shoulders can limit access. When you order, provide full delivery details and photos if possible so we can confirm serviceability and any extra charges.

Standard delivery timelines are 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel generally requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks. Tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.

Use our online material calculator or the aggregate quiz to estimate tons based on area and desired depth; typical guidance helps convert square feet and depth into tons. For new driveways or heavy-use areas plan for a compacted base layer plus a wearing surface, and add 5-10% for waste and settling. If unsure, contact our team with project dimensions for a quick recommendation.

Aim for drier periods to make delivery and spreading easier and to improve compaction; late fall through spring often has fewer prolonged heat/humidity issues, but local weather varies. Avoid days with heavy rain in the forecast and consider scheduling outside peak storm season when possible. If timing is tight, ask about staging and site prep tips to reduce weather-related delays.

If there is a problem after delivery, reach out promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it.

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.
