Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Licking Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Licking, with a population of 4,340, sits within a steadily growing West Missouri region that supports steady construction and landscaping demand. A growth rate of 0.40% annually suggests incremental residential and municipal projects rather than sudden booms, so homeowners can expect ongoing needs for driveways, grading, garden beds, and small additions over time. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 33.90 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates a balance of sun exposure and periodic wet seasons. That balance drives demand for a range of bulk materials: well-draining aggregates and base materials for parking and paths, screened topsoil and compost for planting beds, erosion-control mixes for slopes, and durable surfacing products for high-traffic areas. Regional sourcing means color, texture, and particle mix will reflect local geology, so choosing the right grade and blend matters for performance and appearance across projects.Popular Projects in Licking This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Licking Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Licking.
Start by thinking about function: drainage, load-bearing, and appearance. For driveways and paths, homeowners often select materials that compact well and allow water to drain; different mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone suit different needs. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw and rainfall) and how much maintenance you want; our material calculator and team can help narrow choices for Licking.
Licking experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall that can shift loose materials and affect compaction. Local soils may be clayey or sandy, which changes how an added layer will drain and settle. Choose materials that match the site conditions and plan for proper grading and compaction to reduce movement over time.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet and use a material calculator to convert cubic feet to tons. A common rule is to multiply length x width x depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by a typical material density to get tons. If you prefer, provide your dimensions when ordering and our team can help verify quantities for Licking projects.
Plan deliveries outside of heavy rain or thaw periods whenever possible, especially for landscaping or areas that require compaction. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you have a tight schedule, request an earlier delivery date and confirm access conditions with our team.
Hello Gravel typically provides delivery via local dump truck fleets with a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You will receive a delivery confirmation and should prepare the site to ensure safe access for the truck.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout; the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For precise spreading or finished grading, plan to hire a landscaper or use a dedicated spreading service.
Clear a turning and dumping area for the truck, remove low-hanging branches, and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler heads. Confirm the drop location and ensure hard ground or stable access to avoid getting the truck stuck. Proper prep reduces delays and helps the driver place material where you need it.
Yes, because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture, color, and particle mix can vary based on local geology around Licking. Those natural differences can affect appearance and compaction behavior, so review photos and ask for local supplier details if color or texture is important. We recommend ordering a small test load for large projects when exact appearance matters.
Contact our team as soon as possible; modifications are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes depend on supplier and trucking schedules. If you need to reschedule delivery, provide alternate dates and any updated site access notes.
Check local ordinances and homeowners association rules for temporary material storage, driveway work, and immediate road access in Licking. Some areas require permits or have restrictions on blocking sidewalks or streets. Confirm permits before ordering to avoid delays or fines.
Plan for proper base layers and compaction, especially for driveways and load-bearing areas; loose top layers should be compacted with the right equipment. Slope and grading are important to direct water away from structures and reduce erosion in Licking’s freeze-thaw conditions. If unsure, ask our team for guidance or consult a local contractor.
Hello Gravel accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure online checkout, with a minimum order of 3 tons.

For any issues after delivery, contact customer service so we can help resolve them.
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.
