Materials Available for Delivery
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Gainesville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gainesville has a city population of 26,528. With a modest annual growth rate of 0.70% annually, development in the area is steady rather than explosive, which translates into consistent demand for home improvements, small-scale construction, and landscaping projects across neighborhoods. The local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.80 inches—shape specific material needs: extended sun exposure increases the value of UV-stable surfaces and heat-resistant aggregates, while moderate but periodic rains make drainage solutions and erosion-control mixes essential. Homeowners and contractors in this environment commonly prioritize durable base layers, well-graded soils for walkways and patios, permeable surfaces to manage runoff, and mulches or topsoils that balance moisture retention and aeration.Popular Projects in Gainesville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gainesville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Gainesville.
Homeowners in Gainesville often order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, pathways, garden beds, drainage projects, and base material under pavers. These materials are versatile and available in a range of sizes and textures to suit different uses and budgets. If you are unsure which to choose, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance.
Gainesville’s hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains mean you should prioritize drainage, stability, and UV resistance when choosing materials. For example, well-graded gravel or crushed stone is often better for driveways and drainage because it compacts and sheds water; sand and dirt may need stabilization or proper grading to avoid erosion during storms. Expect local materials to reflect regional geology, so plan on slight color and texture differences.
Start by matching the material’s function to the project: durable, compactable mixes for driveways and base layers; finer materials for paver beds and planting areas. Consider traffic load, drainage needs, and desired appearance when choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If appearance matters, request notes at checkout about color preference and ask for guidance on depth and base preparation.
Spring and fall are generally the best seasons for spreading base material and installing landscaping in Gainesville because temperatures are milder and soil conditions are easier to work. Avoid extreme summer heat for long installation days, and beware of winter freeze-thaw if temperatures dip unusually low. Also plan around seasonal rains to prevent working in saturated or muddy conditions.
Contractors often measure project volume in cubic yards and convert to tons using typical material densities, since different materials weigh differently. For example, an area’s square footage and desired depth give cubic yards, and your supplier or our material calculator can convert that to tons for pricing and delivery. When in doubt, order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction, grading, and waste.
Typical delivery windows start at 2+ business days for standard service, with next-day delivery available if the order is placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders are commonly around 3 tons for residential delivery, and delivery zones depend on local supplier reach and road access. Check your zip code for availability and scheduled delivery dates during checkout.
For rural or narrow-driveway deliveries, check access height, width, and weight limits before ordering, and note any gates, overhead wires, or soft shoulders in Order Notes. Truck teams typically need a stable surface to offload; if access is limited they may have to dump at the nearest accessible spot, so plan for material movement from drop point to final location. Contact customer service ahead of delivery to discuss specific access concerns.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and local regulations. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess the site on arrival, but be prepared to handle final grading and compaction with your contractor or DIY crew. For larger installation assistance, arrange separate labor or contractor services.
Local permits and HOA rules vary, so check Gainesville city codes and neighborhood covenants before changing driveway materials or front-yard landscaping. Some areas have rules about permeable surfaces, curb appeal, or material color and size, and certain projects (like changing a driveway footprint) may require permits. If you are unsure, contact your HOA or the city planning department before ordering materials.
Pricing depends on material type, quantity, local supplier rates, and delivery distance; rural deliveries can include extra fees for long hauls or difficult access. Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes online for your zip code and shows any delivery fees before checkout, and you can request a custom quote for larger jobs. For an accurate estimate, provide exact delivery address, material type, and desired depth.
Contact our team as soon as possible — changes are easier before the order is dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate requests depending on processing status. If you suspect a short delivery or damaged material, document the issue with photos and contact customer service promptly so we can investigate with the supplier and hauler. Review our order and refund policies for details on how claims are handled.
Regional sourcing means texture, color, and minor composition will reflect local geology, so materials may look different than photos or samples from other areas. Natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone have inherent variations in size and color, so expect some inconsistency across loads. If appearance is important, note preferences in your order and ask for samples or close descriptions before delivery.
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.
