Why Portland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Portland is a growing, dynamic city of 777,564 residents within a metro area of 2.6+ million, and that steady 1.80% annual growth feeds consistent demand for home improvements, infill construction, and urban landscaping. Homeowners here are often working on tighter urban lots, multi-use yard projects, and green infrastructure that must perform in the Pacific Northwest climate. With 228 sunny days a year and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, Portland projects typically need materials that balance permeability and stability. Quality bulk materials — from topsoil blends and mulch to sand, gravel, and base stone — matter because they influence drainage, erosion control, plant establishment, and the long-term durability of patios, paths, and driveways. Local sourcing matters too: aggregates and soils reflect regional geology, so choosing the right material and quantity reduces callbacks and rework on both small and large projects.Popular Projects in Portland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Portland Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Portland.
Prices vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance, but expect a broad ballpark of about $30 to $120 per cubic yard or $25 to $70 per ton in the Portland area. Final cost depends on material type, local supply, truck access, and whether you need extra services like spreading or same-day delivery. Use our online quote tool or contact our team for a precise estimate for your zip code.
Because Portland gets frequent rain, prioritize materials and assemblies that drain well and resist rutting when wet. Choose permeable base layers and top materials that shed water, and plan for proper slope and drainage outlets to avoid pooling. Discuss your site conditions with our team to match materials to rainy-season performance.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically delivers with tri-axle dump trucks; check zip code availability at checkout. Expect standard delivery lead time of 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed by the cutoff; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Confirm access, overhead wires, narrow streets, and parking or staging needs before delivery to avoid extra fees or rescheduling.
Some projects or deliveries may require permits, especially if a truck will block a public street, use a crane, or bring large volumes of fill onto a property. Portland and Multnomah County can also have rules about importing fill, erosion control, and protected trees, so check local code or consult a contractor for large earthwork. If you are unsure, contact our team and the city planning or public works office before scheduling delivery.
Late spring through early fall is usually best for major groundwork because soils are drier and weather is more predictable, reducing risk of delivery delays and compaction issues. Deliveries are available year-round, but winter rains can slow projects, create muddy access, and increase spreading difficulty. If you need winter delivery, plan extra time and consider drainage or temporary stabilization measures.
Contractors commonly specify permeable base materials for drainage, coarse mixes for subbase and edge drains, and select fines or compactible mixes for base layers under paving. For erosion control they combine proper grading, rock or riprap in concentrated flow areas, and vegetation or erosion-control fabric where needed. Talk to our team about typical local assemblies so you get materials suited to Portland’s rainfall and soils.
Hello Gravel primarily connects you with local suppliers and haulers for material delivery, but many suppliers and haulers can recommend local installers or contractors. Availability of referrals or installation services varies by supplier, so ask when you get a quote or request recommendations from our support team. We can also point you to local resources to find licensed installers.
Soil texture and slope affect compaction, drainage, and how much material you’ll need; sloped sites usually require more material for terracing, erosion control, and to achieve desired grades. Expect to add a 5% to 15% overage for slopes, compaction, and small measurement errors, and provide slope measurements when using our material calculator. If you’re unsure, send photos and measurements or request a site visit through our customer support.
Commercial deliveries often involve larger quantities, scheduled staging areas, and crews able to unload quickly, while residential deliveries usually require smaller loads, careful drive-up access, and limited parking or staging on local streets. Residential deliveries may face stricter neighborhood access, time-of-day limits, and require tighter coordination to avoid yard or driveway damage. Communicate any site constraints at checkout so dispatch can match the right truck and plan routes.
Portland’s wet winters can cause settling, washout, and rutting, so expect to perform periodic topping-up, regrading, or minor repairs on driveways and paths after heavy seasons. Freeze/thaw cycles are less extreme than colder regions, but repeated wetting and drying can still loosen fine materials and reduce compaction over time. Design for good drainage and routine maintenance to extend the life of any surface material.
Natural materials vary by local geology, so color and texture may differ from photos; if something looks off, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and provide photos and order details. You can request changes before processing, and we will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on supplier and dispatch status and cannot be guaranteed.
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.
