Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lakesite, TN

Homeowners and contractors in Lakesite commonly choose mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job: crushed or washed aggregates for driveways, well-draining mixes for patios and walkways, and screened dirt or topsoil for planting beds. Choose a material based on load, drainage needs, and appearance—for example, a compactable aggregate for vehicle areas and a finer, well-draining mix for planting or paver bases. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project type and local conditions.

Pick materials that match the purpose: free-draining aggregates are best for drainage and erosion control, while heavier, compactable mixes work for grading and base layers. Consider local rainfall patterns and slope—materials that lock together or include angular stone help resist washout on steeper sites. When in doubt, consult with a local supplier or our team to match material performance to Lakesite’s site conditions.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons, with standard delivery generally scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Costs vary with material type, distance, site access, and volume, so final pricing is shown at checkout and may include delivery fees in some areas. For an accurate price, enter your zip code and preferred delivery date on our site or contact our team.

Local suppliers typically serve customers across the surrounding metro area; delivery radii depend on local quarries and trucking availability but commonly cover nearby towns and suburbs. Hello Gravel connects you with suppliers that source regionally to keep prices competitive, so delivery is usually from within the same county or neighboring counties. If you have a remote site or unusual access constraints, mention that at checkout so we can confirm availability and any additional charges.

Late spring through early fall is typically the easiest time for large deliveries and installation because drier ground improves access and compaction. Winter and heavy-rain months can make sites muddy and slow work, and some materials compact or settle differently when wet. Plan ahead for large orders, especially in spring or fall, and use the checkout calendar to reserve a delivery date that matches your contractor’s schedule.

Many driveways, large retaining walls, and major grading changes can require local permits or HOA approval, so check Lakesite municipal rules and any homeowner association guidelines before ordering. Rules vary by project size and location, so contact your city building department or HOA early in planning to avoid delays. If you need documentation for permits, our team can often provide order details and material descriptions to assist your application.

Start by measuring the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards and tons using a material calculator—Hello Gravel’s calculator includes common density assumptions for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. As a rule of thumb, allow a 5-10% overage for compaction and waste and consult our team if you are unsure about density differences for specific mixes. For larger or complicated grading jobs, consider getting a contractor estimate to account for excavation, subgrade issues, or uneven terrain.

Good results usually start with proper site prep: remove organic material, correct low spots, ensure good subgrade compaction, and install basic drainage where water concentrates. In Lakesite’s climate, attention to slope, gutters, and drainage outlets reduces washout and extends the life of installed materials. Ask for supplier or contractor guidance on recommended base thickness and compaction standards for the material and use case you choose.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets and typically arrive on the scheduled date window; drivers will dump materials in an agreed location if safe and accessible. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on access, site conditions, and safety. If you have special access needs, staging areas, or restricted streets, note them in your order so we can coordinate with the hauler ahead of time.

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.
