Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Smithville, TN

Homeowners and contractors in Smithville typically choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job. Gravel and crushed stone are common for driveways and drainage, sand is used for leveling and bedding, and dirt or topsoil is used for grading and planting. The best choice depends on load, drainage needs, and appearance.

Start by defining the project's purpose: drainage, load-bearing, planting, or aesthetics. Consider site conditions like slope and drainage, then pick a material group (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) suited to that need; for example, well-draining materials for slopes and compaction-friendly mixes for driveways. Use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance if you are unsure.

Prices vary by material and local supply, but expect per-ton pricing plus delivery; Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is generally provided in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Check the checkout for exact pricing tied to your zip code.

Standard delivery is scheduled for 2 or more business days from order, and you can pick a preferred date in checkout. Next-day delivery is often possible if you order before noon CST and pay the extra fee, but exact availability depends on local supplier and truck scheduling. We confirm delivery details by phone or text before dispatch.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety, access, and the scope of work upon arrival before agreeing to spread. Plan for potential additional labor if you need precise spreading or finished grading.

Smithville's seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw cycles can affect compaction, drainage, and work windows. Schedule projects during drier periods for better compaction and grading, and choose materials that resist washout for rainy seasons. For winterwork, expect slower deliveries and possible restrictions on spreading when ground is frozen or muddy.

As a rule of thumb, one ton of most aggregates covers about 100 square feet at 1 inch depth, but this varies by material density. For driveways, typical depths are 4 to 6 inches; for patios and pathways, 2 to 4 inches; for topsoil or raised beds, 6 to 12 inches. Use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Most suppliers and haulers focus on delivery rather than full installation; some local contractors provide installation separately. Labor costs depend on job size and complexity and are typically quoted per hour or per project by local landscapers or contractors. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and you can request contractor referrals if you need installation.

Local building permits and HOA rules can affect driveways, drainage changes, and visible material choices. Check with Smithville city offices or your county planning department and review any HOA covenants before ordering material. When in doubt, contact local authorities early to avoid project delays.

Pay attention to existing soil type, slope, and drainage patterns on your site; clay soils and low spots may need more drainage-friendly material to prevent standing water. On sloped sites use materials that resist erosion, and on poorly draining yards consider adding a drainage layer or base material. Local contractors can help assess your site for the best solution.

Homeowners source materials from local quarries and suppliers, regional distributors, or big-box stores that offer bulk delivery. Local quarries often give regionally appropriate material and shorter delivery distances; large retailers may offer convenience but less specialized mixes. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers so you can compare price, delivery, and material options.

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.
