Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Maurice, LA

Start by deciding the function: load-bearing surfaces like driveways need more compactable material while decorative beds prioritize appearance and drainage. Consider local climate and drainage, then compare groups like gravel, sand, dirt, stone for texture, cost, and maintenance. Use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for help matching material to your project's use and budget.

Budget for material plus delivery and any optional services; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Prices vary by material, quantity, and distance to your property, so get a quote in checkout and factor in possible hauling or spreading fees. For contractor-level orders, ask about volume pricing and scheduling.

Maurice's heat, humidity, and frequent rain favor materials that drain well and resist washing out; well-graded materials with good compaction tend to perform better in this climate. Expect regional variations in texture and color because we source locally, and choose materials designed for erosion control where heavy rains and runoff are common. If flooding or prolonged saturation is a concern, prioritize materials and installation methods that improve drainage and stability.

Use materials and profiles that promote drainage: build a slight slope away from foundations, use permeable base layers, and place coarser, free-draining aggregates in low areas. Combining appropriate material depth with simple grading or a trench can reduce washout during storms in West Louisiana. If the site regularly floods, consult a local contractor or our team for project-specific recommendations.

We deliver via contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. You choose your preferred delivery date in checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested. Regional sourcing means your materials will reflect local geology, and we will confirm timing and access details after you order.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change an order or delivery date; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot promise all changes can be made. For large commercial orders, notify us early so we can coordinate supplier and trucking schedules.

Permit and zoning rules vary by city and parish, so check with Maurice city hall or the local parish office before starting work. Common issues include driveway curb cuts, right-of-way access, and restrictions on depositing bulk material near public roads. If you are unsure, your contractor or our customer service team can help point you to local resources.

In humid, rainy climates you can expect periodic maintenance such as regrading, topping up, and removing weeds or sediment that accumulates after storms. Materials that drain well and are correctly installed will need less frequent attention, but high-traffic areas may require more frequent topping or compaction. Plan for seasonal checks after heavy rains and a refresh every few years depending on use.

For structural uses like driveways or base layers prioritize strength, compaction, and drainage; for decorative uses prioritize color, texture, and size. Many projects use a combination: a compactable base layer for support and a finer decorative layer on top. If you are unsure, describe the load, traffic, and appearance you want and we can suggest materials that meet both needs.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the desired depth in inches, then use this formula: (area in sq ft) x (depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Use our online material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons because density varies by material and local sourcing. When in doubt, order a little extra for compaction, grading, and waste, or call our team for help with estimates.

Contractors should allow lead time for supplier scheduling and truck routing, especially for large or back-to-back jobs, and confirm next-day cutoff times for urgent orders. Provide clear access instructions, preferred delivery windows, and staging areas to the dispatch team to reduce delays. Ask about volume pricing and confirm whether tailgate spreading is needed and feasible on arrival.

Provide a clear, unobstructed drop location and note any tight turns, overhead wires, or soft ground when placing your order. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but understand the driver will assess safety and feasibility on site and spreading is not guaranteed. Leave contact information so the driver can reach you for placement questions on delivery day.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
