Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Old Hickory, TN

For most residential and contractor projects in Old Hickory you will see a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone used for driveways, pads, drainage, and garden beds. Suppliers locally source materials that reflect the regional geology, so texture and color can vary. Choose a material based on the performance you need (drainage, compaction, finish) rather than appearance alone.

Old Hickory has hot, humid summers, periodic freezes, and heavy rain events, so pick materials that handle moisture and freeze-thaw cycles and drain well. Well-graded mixes and proper compaction help resist washout, while surfacing choices and edging reduce movement during heavy rain. Expect regional variations in material behavior and plan for drainage and maintenance accordingly.

Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons for most outdoor projects in Old Hickory, with milder temperatures and fewer heavy rainstorms. Summer deliveries are possible but may be slowed by heat and afternoon storms; winter work can be limited by freezes. Hello Gravel typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST if you need a faster option.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers via dump trucks, usually tri-axle. Standard delivery is provided in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Final delivery cost depends on material, distance, and local supplier fees, so check checkout pricing for an exact quote.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and access. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival; many customers hire local labor or contractors for precise placement. For larger jobs, contractors often arrange machine placement or additional crew for quick, consistent results.

Estimate material needs by measuring the area and desired depth, then use a cubic yard calculator to convert area and depth into volume before converting to tons if needed. Account for compaction and waste by adding 5-15% depending on the material and application. Hello Gravel offers an online material calculator and our sales team can help refine estimates when you provide project dimensions.

Local building codes, municipal rules, and HOA covenants can affect driveway materials, runoff management, and visible finishes, so check with the City of Old Hickory or your HOA before ordering. Permits may be required for driveway changes, curb cuts, or projects that affect stormwater or right-of-way. When in doubt, contact local authorities or your contractor to confirm requirements before scheduling delivery.

Many local suppliers and reclamation yards in the region offer recycled aggregates, reclaimed stone, and blended soils that reduce landfill waste and can suit hardscaping and fill projects. Use Hello Gravel to search supplier options and ask in Order Notes or by phone if you prefer recycled or green materials. Availability varies by zip code and season, so confirm with the supplier before ordering.

Match material properties to the project: choose materials that provide drainage and stability for driveways, a compactable base for patios and paths, and loose, organic blends for planting beds. Think about load, appearance, and maintenance needs, and ask Hello Gravel's team for guidance if you are unsure. Regional sourcing means materials may perform slightly differently here than elsewhere, so local experience matters.

Clear the intended delivery area, remove vehicles and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop location to speed unloading and reduce repositioning. Make sure truck access is possible and communicate any driveway or overhead restrictions in your order notes. On delivery day, have a plan for spreading or storage and understand that the driver will follow safety rules and may change placement if access is unsafe.

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.
