Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in New Roads, LA

Choose based on load, drainage, and appearance. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each behave differently for compaction, runoff, and finish; pick a more stable, angular aggregate for driveways and a finer, well-draining option for garden beds or patios. Consider local climate and your budget, and use Hello Gravel's material quiz or talk to our team for site-specific advice.

Delivery cost depends on distance from the supplier, the amount ordered, access difficulty, and how quickly you need the material. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with many areas qualifying for free delivery, and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Check the checkout for an exact delivery price for your zip code.

In humid or flood-prone settings, prioritize materials that promote drainage and resist long-term washing or compaction. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone can be used together—well-graded aggregates with proper base layers and slope help shed water, while clean, free-draining mixes prevent ponding. Pair materials with good site grading and, where appropriate, geotextile fabric to improve stability.

Schedule work when the ground is relatively dry and crews can compact and finish surfaces properly. In New Roads, avoid heavy rain windows and hurricane season when possible; late fall through winter often offers more workable days, but local weather varies. Use our checkout calendar to pick a preferred delivery date and consider ordering in advance for peak seasons.

Quantity depends on square footage and desired depth. As a rough guide, a small patio might need 1 to 3 tons, a one-car driveway 6 to 15 tons, and a two-car driveway 10 to 30 tons depending on depth and base layers; planting beds and mulching projects often start under 3 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Yes, delivery is frequently available to rural and neighborhood addresses, but access matters. Dump trucks (typically tri-axle) need safe clearance, level ground for dumping, and no low-hanging utilities or tight turns; remote deliveries may carry additional fees. If access is tight, note specifics in your order notes and contact our team so suppliers can plan the best approach.

Permit needs vary by location and project scope, especially in floodplain areas or when changing a public right-of-way. Check with the City of New Roads and Pointe Coupee Parish planning or permitting office before starting work; they can confirm driveway permits, fill restrictions, and any elevation or erosion-control requirements. Hello Gravel can deliver materials, but you should confirm permits and site rules before ordering.

Contractor rates vary with job size, equipment needs, and site complexity. Small grading or installation tasks often run by the hour or as a flat project cost; many homeowners see local rates that range from modest hourly labor to several thousand dollars for larger driveway or grading jobs. Get multiple local quotes, ask for references, and confirm whether quotes include materials, hauling, and site prep.

Match the material to the function: choose materials that drain well and resist movement for drainage and erosion control, and pick finishes that meet your look and maintenance needs for landscaping. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each have trade-offs in permeability, compaction, and stability, so consider slope, expected water flow, and desired appearance. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or call our team with site photos to get a recommendation.

Hello Gravel is an online marketplace that coordinates material orders and delivery with local suppliers and haulers; installation is not performed by Hello Gravel. Some local suppliers or contractor partners may offer both delivery and installation—check supplier listings and request an installation quote or ask the supplier directly. We can help connect you and provide delivery logistics, but installation arrangements should be confirmed with the contractor or supplier.

Expect a tri-axle dump truck and a driver who follows the delivery instructions you provided; standard lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for qualifying orders. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed; they will assess access and safety on arrival. Keep a clear drop zone, note overhead wires or obstacles, and have your crew or contractor ready to spread or grade the material if needed.

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.
