Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Hickman, TN

Common choices in Hickman include gravel, sand, dirt, and stone used in different layers or surface finishes. Which material is best depends on the project: base layers need stable, compactable aggregates while top surfaces prioritize appearance and drainage. Local suppliers often offer regionally sourced blends, so color and texture can vary.

Pick a material based on load, drainage, appearance, and budget — for example, heavier vehicle traffic needs a more stable base while garden beds prioritize soil quality. Consider Hickman’s climate (hot, humid summers and periodic heavy rain) and local drainage needs, and use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance. If you are in an HOA or have county rules, check restrictions on surface types and colors before ordering.

Calculate volume by multiplying area (square feet) by depth (feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (cubic yards = area x depth / 27). For example, a 500 sq ft area at 3 inches (0.25 ft) depth is about 4.6 cubic yards. Keep in mind our minimum order is typically 3 tons and you should round up for compaction, waste, and grade adjustments.

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on distance from the supplier, truck size, and order weight; many areas get free delivery but that varies by zip code. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and shows transparent pricing at checkout so you can see any delivery charges before you buy.

Hickman’s hot, humid summers and periods of heavy rain make drainage and erosion resistance important when selecting materials. Avoid major spreading or base work during wet periods because trucks and heavy equipment can rut soft ground; spring and fall are often better for installations. Certain materials compact or bind differently in freeze-thaw cycles, so schedule projects accordingly and ask our team for season-specific recommendations.

Yes. City or county rules and HOA covenants may limit driveway widths, permitted surface types, soil or stone colors, and require permits for new driveway connections or major grading. Requirements vary, so contact Hickman city offices, Hickman County, or your HOA before ordering to confirm setbacks, drainage and permit needs. Checking first can prevent rework and extra delivery costs.

Expect a tri-axle dump truck from a contracted hauler to arrive during your scheduled window; drivers will need clear, level access and safe turnaround space. Mark utilities, flag the drop area with visible markers, and remove obstacles like cars, low branches, or lawn furniture; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. If ground is soft or access is restricted, discuss options with our team before delivery to avoid additional charges or delays.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier to accommodate before the order is dispatched. Once a supplier and truck are scheduled, changes may be limited and additional fees can apply. We will do our best to help, but availability and timing affect what changes are possible.

Prices vary by material type, local supply, distance, and season, but delivered costs often fall into broad ranges.

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.
