Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Forest Grove, OR

Start with the project purpose: structure and load-bearing needs favor compactable base materials, while decorative uses favor lighter textures. Consider drainage, slope, and how the material will be used (walkway, driveway, garden bed, erosion control). Use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on local conditions and the scale of your project.

Forest Grove’s wet climate and occasional freeze-thaw cycles make drainage and stability top priorities. Choose materials that shed water and compact well for vehicular areas, and use coarser, well-graded mixes where erosion or runoff is a concern. Expect regional variation in performance, so pair material choice with good site grading and drainage features.

Typical projects include driveways and parking pads, pathways and patios, raised garden beds and soil amendments, erosion control and grading, and backfill for utilities. Bulk delivery works for both small homeowner jobs and larger contractor needs, with minimum orders starting at 3 tons. Plan quantities and drop locations ahead of time to streamline delivery.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area, then convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27) to estimate volume. Material weight varies, so use Hello Gravel’s online calculator or contact our team for a tons-to-cubic-yard conversion for the material you plan to order. Always add 5-10% for compaction and waste, and round up to meet the minimum order.

Yes. Check City of Forest Grove and Washington County rules, plus any HOA guidelines, before delivery or installation. Driveway modifications, curb cuts, and deliveries to public right-of-way may require permits or approvals. Confirm local rules and call our team if you need help planning around them.

Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by regional dump truck fleets (often tri-axle) and require a minimum order of 3 tons. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and check your zip code for local availability.

Delivery fees depend on supplier distance, access difficulty, and service level; free delivery is available in many areas but not guaranteed. Trucks need adequate turning radius, clear overheads, and sufficient surface bearing to avoid getting stuck; weight limits on local roads may apply. Note optional tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout.

Clear the intended drop area of vehicles, toys, and obstacles, and mark the preferred placement with stakes or flags. Ensure safe truck access and protect lawns, driveways, and underground utilities; call 811 before any digging. Have a worker ready to guide the driver and confirm the drop spot to speed the delivery.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. Request spreading in Order Notes at checkout and be prepared to hire local labor if precise placement or grading is required. For larger or delicate jobs, arrange professional spreading and compaction services in advance.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary based on local geology and batch differences. Natural materials also change with moisture and weather, so photos are representative rather than exact. If color consistency is important, ask for local supplier details or a small test delivery before ordering in bulk.

Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time to schedule deliveries because drier conditions improve site access and compaction. Winter and early spring can be wet and muddy, which may delay work or limit where trucks can safely offload. We deliver year-round, so plan with extra lead time during rainy months.

Forest Grove and the surrounding Willamette Valley often have fine-textured soils and areas with poor drainage or seasonal saturation. For areas prone to standing water, specify materials that improve drainage and use geotextile or aggregate base layers to stabilize the site. Test or observe the site moisture behavior and adjust material depth and drainage features accordingly.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers and can recommend next steps, but we do not directly provide installation services. For full installation or grading, ask our sales team for common local contractor suggestions or search local listings to find landscapers and contractors experienced with bulk materials. Having the delivery details and material type handy will help contractors provide accurate bids.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
