Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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.
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.

Why Flat Rock Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Flat Rock is a community of 11,200 residents experiencing steady development as local demand grows. With a regional metro area population of 2.3+ million and a growth rate of 2.80% annually, homeowners are seeing more renovation, new landscaping, and small-scale construction projects in surrounding neighborhoods. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in hardiness zone 8b — means projects must balance sun exposure with significant seasonal moisture. That combination drives demand for a range of bulk materials: soil and topsoil blends for planting, organic mulches for moisture retention, and aggregates for drainage, pathways, and stable bases. In this environment, material quality matters because it affects drainage performance, plant health, and the longevity of paved surfaces; choosing the right mix of materials helps properties withstand both sunny stretches and wet seasons.Popular Projects in Flat Rock This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Flat Rock Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Flat Rock.
Choose materials that drain well and lock together on slopes. In Flat Rock’s hilly terrain and seasonal wet/freeze-thaw cycles, well-graded, angular aggregates perform better than very fine, loose materials. Consider the project load and maintenance needs when comparing gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar options.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (typically 3 tons) and uses local dump trucks for delivery. Standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; final fees depend on distance and site access. Many areas offer free delivery, but costs can vary by supplier and location.
Plan major deliveries and landscaping for spring through early fall when ground is drier and scheduling is easier. Avoid heavy rain and times when freeze-thaw cycles are common, which can make sites muddy or unstable. If you need fast turnaround, use the next-day option and book early to secure preferred dates.
A quick rule: one cubic yard covers about 100–110 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. For example, a 2-car driveway (12 ft x 40 ft) at a 3-inch top layer will need roughly 4–5 cubic yards, while a typical 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 4 inches needs about 1–1.5 cubic yards. Always use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate that accounts for base, compaction, and slope.
Yes; suppliers and hauling partners commonly deliver to both suburban neighborhoods and rural properties around Flat Rock. Delivery feasibility depends on site access, road width, overhead wires, gates, and restrictions, and drivers may leave material at the most accessible safe point. Add delivery notes at checkout and contact our team if you have tight access or special instructions.
On slopes, prioritize materials and assemblies that promote drainage and resist erosion, such as well-draining aggregates and proper base layers. You may need terraces, retaining elements, geotextile fabric, or edging to keep material in place and direct runoff away from structures. Tell our team about steep grades so suppliers can recommend suitable materials and delivery placement.
Possibly. Flat Rock and local HOAs can have rules about driveway locations, surface materials, curb cuts, and stormwater management, so check with town offices and your HOA before ordering. Getting approvals first can prevent delays and extra costs if material needs to be removed or changed.
Materials that allow water to drain and resist movement tend to require less upkeep in Flat Rock’s rain and freeze-thaw conditions. Coarser, angular aggregates and well-compacted bases are generally more stable than very fine, loose materials, which can wash away or rut more easily. Proper installation and periodic topping or grading will still be needed over time.
Contractors usually charge separately for materials and installation labor, so delivery-only quotes cover just the material drop-off while installation includes the contractor’s time, equipment, and site preparation. Hello Gravel coordinates material supply and trucking; for installation costs, get itemized bids from local contractors to compare. We can deliver to a contractor-specified location if you hire installation services.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible so we can coordinate with the driver and supplier to resolve the issue. Drivers may assess whether tailgate spreading is safe or feasible, but spreading is discretionary and not guaranteed. If material quality, quantity, or placement is a problem, report it promptly and we will work with you on next steps according to our policies.
Match the material to the job by considering load (foot traffic vs vehicle traffic), drainage needs, slope, appearance, and maintenance expectations. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator and aggregate quiz, or contact our sales team for guidance; we can suggest options that reflect local geology and performance. If visual appearance matters, note color preferences in your order and ask about samples before finalizing large deliveries.
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.
