Materials Available for Delivery
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

Why Arden Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Arden Hills homeowners (city population of 10,000) live in a modestly growing area—0.40% annually—that supports steady demand for remodeling, landscaping, and property maintenance rather than rapid, large-scale development. That steady growth translates into more driveway upgrades, yard re‑grading, garden renovations, and small-scale construction projects where reliable bulk materials matter. Local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall—means properties see alternating dry and wet conditions, so materials must balance drainage, stability, and plant health. With a hardiness zone of 8b, many plantings thrive, but successful yards and driveways still depend on properly graded bases, consistent topsoil mixes, and erosion‑resistant aggregates. In Arden Hills, buying quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—helps homeowners avoid rework and supports longer-lasting landscape and hardscape results.Popular Projects in Arden Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Arden Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Arden Hills.
Delivery costs vary by distance, truck access, and season. Expect a minimum order (commonly 3 tons) and pricing quoted per ton or per cubic yard depending on the material; some suppliers use flat delivery fees while others add mileage or long-haul charges. Winter surcharges, weekend fees, and next-day delivery upcharges are common. Use Hello Gravel's checkout to see upfront pricing and delivery options for your zip code.
Freeze–thaw cycles and snow can cause settling, frost heave, and shifting if materials are poorly drained or uncompacted. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and compaction, and expect more movement in upper soil layers each spring. Salt exposure and repeated freeze cycles can affect appearance and stability, so plan for extra maintenance in cold months.
The most reliable window for delivery and installation is late spring through early fall (roughly April through November), when ground is unfrozen and crews can work efficiently. Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days for scheduling, while next-day options are available for qualified orders placed before noon CST. Winter deliveries are possible but may face delays, access issues, or extra fees due to snow and frozen ground.
Many projects that change impervious surface area, alter drainage, or exceed certain heights may require a city permit or HOA approval. Rules vary by project type, so check Arden Hills municipal codes and any HOA guidelines before ordering materials. When in doubt, contact the city permitting office or your HOA to confirm requirements and avoid rework.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that serve the Arden Hills area. Local suppliers and contractors commonly provide delivery, optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, and separate equipment rental or spreading services through landscapers. Always confirm available services, lead times, and whether spreading or additional labor is included or offered separately.
Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. To estimate tons, multiply cubic yards by a material-specific density range—use the Hello Gravel material calculator for precise conversions. Order about 5-10% extra to account for compaction, grading, and spillage.
Proper site preparation—grading for positive slope, compacting subgrade, and installing geotextile or base layers when needed—improves long-term performance. Address low spots, roof runoff, and existing drainage paths to avoid pooling or washouts during spring thaw. For larger projects consider professional site evaluation to size drains, swales, or retaining structures appropriately.
Access constraints such as narrow streets, overhead wires, tight driveways, or steep grades can increase delivery difficulty and may result in higher fees or scheduling restrictions. Winter conditions, snow accumulation, and frozen ground can further complicate truck access and timing. Provide clear delivery notes and photos at checkout to help haulers plan and avoid surprises.
Buyers should consider drainage, compaction, salt tolerance, and how materials handle repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so order a small test or sample if appearance matters. Consult the Hello Gravel team for recommendations that balance durability, maintenance, and aesthetic goals for Minnesota weather.
DIY pickup can save on delivery fees but requires an appropriate truck, loading help, time, and possibly equipment rental for spreading and compaction. Full-service delivery is more convenient and reduces labor but adds delivery and any spreading fees; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Choose based on project scale, access, and whether you have the tools and help to handle the material safely.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. We will make a best effort to accommodate requests, but changes cannot be guaranteed once a truck is scheduled or materials leave the supplier. Check order confirmation and our order policy for timing and next steps.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
