Why Richmond Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richmond's city population is 210,940, and the broader metro area includes 2.3+ million residents. A steady annual growth rate of 2.30% is driving consistent demand for new housing, yard improvements, and commercial projects—which in turn means ongoing need for bulk materials for grading, base layers, and landscape upgrades. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, Richmond’s climate supports year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that handle intense sun, periodic heavy rain, and seasonal moisture cycles. The region's hardiness zone, 8b, encourages diverse planting and landscaping choices, influencing soil blends, mulches, and topdressing needs. Together, these trends make quality, regionally sourced aggregates, soils, and surface materials essential to long-lasting projects that resist erosion, reduce maintenance, and perform under local conditions.Popular Projects in Richmond This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richmond Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Richmond.
In Richmond many customers order a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch for landscaping, driveways, and grading jobs. The exact material mix reflects local availability and geology, so color and texture can vary by supplier. Use our material quiz or contact our team to match a product to your project needs.
Richmond sits on coastal plain soils that can be clayey and hold water, with hot, humid summers and heavy seasonal rain. For that reason choose materials and grades that improve drainage and resist washout, and consider geotextile underlayers or thicker base sections for softer soils. Our team can recommend materials that perform well in Richmond's local conditions.
Think about load, drainage, maintenance, and appearance when choosing materials for outdoor projects. Heavier traffic areas need stable, well-compacted base layers, while planting beds may prioritize drainage and soil quality. Also consider local availability and budget, and ask us for mixed options or delivery guidance.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the finished depth in inches. Multiply area by depth to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and then convert to tons using our online calculator because densities vary by material. Allow 10-20% extra for compaction and waste, or contact our team for a quick estimate.
Standard delivery is usually available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Delivery radius depends on the local supplier but commonly ranges from about 20 to 60 miles; check your zip code to confirm availability and pricing.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it is safe and feasible for the job site. You can request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on access, slope, and truck capabilities. If you need professional spreading, consider hiring additional labor or equipment and describe site conditions clearly when ordering.
Major driveway or hardscape projects can trigger city or county permitting, driveway apron rules, or HOA requirements in Richmond and Fort Bend County. Check with the City of Richmond Building Department, Fort Bend County, and any homeowners association before construction to confirm regulations, right-of-way access, and possible inspection needs. For large grading or drainage changes, you may also need engineered plans or floodplain review.
Avoid the heaviest rain and hurricane season (typically June through November) when possible, as storms can delay deliveries and complicate earthwork. Late fall through spring often offers more consistent conditions for grading, compacting, and installing hardscapes. Keep in mind extreme summer heat can affect working conditions, so plan deliveries and work hours accordingly.
Provide a clear drop location, point out tight turns, overhead lines, gate codes, and any street parking restrictions or permits required for truck access. Note any special placement requests in Order Notes and request tailgate spreading there if desired, but expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival. Contact our team if site access is limited so we can coordinate the right truck and equipment.
Natural materials vary by supplier and local geology, so color and texture may differ from photos. Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easiest before the order is dispatched and depend on supplier and trucking status. For issues after delivery, report them promptly and we will work with you and the supplier to resolve the situation according to our policies.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
