Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Monterey, LA

Costs vary based on distance, material, and load size, but many customers in West Louisiana see per-cubic-yard prices that fall in a moderate range and flat delivery fees that depend on truck routing. Expect total price to be influenced by factors like road access, how much you order, and whether you request optional services. Use Hello Gravel's checkout to see transparent pricing for your zip code and delivery date.

Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist washout. Stable, well-graded aggregates with a compacted base plus proper grading and drainage perform better in humid, flood-prone areas; consider solutions that combine gravel, sand, dirt, stone and good subgrade preparation to reduce maintenance and water damage.

Typical quantities depend on area and depth: resurfacing a single-car driveway often needs roughly 6 to 12 cubic yards, while a standard patio or garden bed can require 1 to 4 cubic yards. For new work that requires a compacted base, plan for thicker depths and higher quantities; use our material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.

Local rules vary, so check with Monterey city hall, Grant Parish offices, or your HOA before major deliveries or grading work. Permits may be required for extensive fill, driveway changes that affect the right-of-way, or commercial-scale deliveries, and you should also confirm any truck staging or street-blocking rules before scheduling delivery.

Late fall through early spring often offers more stable weather for deliveries in West Louisiana, while spring and summer bring more frequent thunderstorms and higher humidity. If you need faster timing, consider the next-day delivery option when available and pick a dry forecast window, but allow extra time for weather-related delays.

Local suppliers generally use tri-axle dump trucks for bulk deliveries, with smaller or larger trucks used depending on site access and order size. Hello Gravel's minimums apply (3 tons minimum); typical truckloads can carry several cubic yards each, and multiple trucks are used for larger jobs, with scheduling and pricing shown at checkout.

Clay soils and high water tables reduce drainage and can cause settling, so choose materials and installation methods that improve runoff and stability. That often means adding a granular base, installing a geotextile fabric, and using properly graded gravel, sand, dirt, stone combinations to raise grades or improve drainage before finishing.

Beyond the material price, budget for potential delivery fees for long hauls, site access charges, optional tailgate spreading, compaction or equipment rental, and disposal of excavated material. Permit fees, edging, and contractor labor for installation can add to the total, so get a full estimate before starting the job.

Materials that drain well and are installed over a proper compacted base tend to require less upkeep over time. Durable, well-graded aggregates combined with good grading, edging, and occasional replenishment usually offer the best long-term value for lawns, driveways, and landscape areas.

Many local haulers provide drop-off delivery only, while drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; full installation is usually performed by landscape contractors. Request spreading in the order notes and plan to confirm availability and any extra fees before delivery, since spreading is not guaranteed.

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.
