Why Knoxville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Knoxville has a growing and active building market — the city itself has a population of 351,427 and the broader metro area exceeds 2.6+ million, with steady expansion at about 1.80% annually. That kind of growth translates into ongoing residential infill, yard renovations, and small-scale commercial projects, so demand for bulk materials remains consistent. Knoxville’s climate (hardiness zone 8b), 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall mean homeowners and contractors need materials that balance drainage, durability, and aesthetic fit. That includes a range of aggregates, soils, sands, mulches, and specialty mixes chosen to manage runoff, resist erosion, and support plantings suited to the local growing zone. As lots are developed and landscapes modernize, quality bulk materials matter for driveways, patios, garden beds, grading, and stormwater improvements—projects where the right material mix affects long-term performance and maintenance.Popular Projects in Knoxville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Knoxville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Knoxville.
Start by matching performance needs to the project: think drainage, load (foot traffic vs vehicle traffic), aesthetics, and maintenance. Because Knoxville materials reflect local geology, consider how gravel, sand, dirt, stone will compact, shed water, and look in your yard. Use our material calculator and aggregate quiz or contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your project and budget.
Knoxville has hot, humid summers and occasional freeze-thaw cycles in winter, so pick materials that handle moisture, erosion, and modest frost movement. Prioritize good drainage and stable, well‑compacting products for areas with heavy rainfall or seasonal freeze. If erosion or standing water is a concern, plan for drainage features in addition to choosing the right aggregate mix.
Bulk aggregates are suitable for driveways, walkways, patios, base material for pavers, grading, backfill, erosion control, and garden bed preparation. Both homeowners and contractors use gravel, sand, dirt, stone for small DIY jobs and larger site work. Specify the intended use so suppliers can recommend a material type and delivery approach that fits the job.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons since density varies by material. Densities differ by product, but a rough range is about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on the material and moisture. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for an exact estimate.
Our minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery requires 2+ business days. Next‑day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by dump trucks (typically tri‑axle), and you can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout.
Yes—suppliers commonly deliver to residential and rural addresses across Knoxville, but access constraints can apply. Narrow streets, low-hanging wires, tight driveways, culverts, or weight-restricted roads may require alternate drop locations or offloading plans. Add details and photos in Order Notes so the driver and supplier can plan for any special access needs.
Some orders may incur additional fees for next‑day service, long haul distances, difficult access, or offloading beyond a standard dump. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. We’ll quote any known extra charges upfront during checkout when possible.
Yes—local codes, stormwater rules, and HOA guidelines can influence permitted materials, driveway finishes, setback requirements, and erosion control measures. Before ordering, check with Knoxville city offices, Knox County, or your HOA for restrictions or permits that affect material type, delivery times, and truck access. When in doubt, contact our team and we can help you plan around common local requirements.
Spring through early fall is generally the easiest window for deliveries and installs because of milder weather and drier ground conditions. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during heavy rain seasons or when freeze-thaw cycles could affect compaction and grading. We offer flexible scheduling, but expect occasional weather-related delays during winter and stormy periods.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ slightly from photos; contact customer service promptly if you have concerns. Order changes are easier to make before processing and dispatch, so reach out as soon as possible; we will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee every change. For issues on delivery day, take photos and contact our team so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
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.
