Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Shady Shores Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shady Shores is a community with a city population of 58,330, experiencing a steady 0.70% annual growth rate that points to consistent, incremental construction and renovation demand rather than a boom. That steady growth means homeowners are more often undertaking maintenance, backyard updates, and incremental additions—projects that require reliable access to bulk materials on a homeowner-friendly schedule. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and about 34.80 inches of annual rainfall—creates distinct needs: more UV exposure and drying between storms, but also occasional heavy rainfall events that demand good drainage. For homeowners that translates into a need for durable, weather-ready supplies across the board—base materials that drain well, soil and amendments that conserve moisture, erosion-control options for sloped yards, and mulches or surface covers to reduce maintenance. Choosing quality aggregates, soils, and bulk supplies helps projects last longer in Shady Shores’ specific conditions.Popular Projects in Shady Shores This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shady Shores Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shady Shores.
Homeowners in Shady Shores commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, patios, drainage, and garden beds. Local projects also use mulch and topsoil; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. If you are unsure which to pick, our material quiz and sales team can help match products to your project.
Choose materials based on project needs: drainage, load-bearing, appearance, and ease of maintenance. For example, surface layers need good drainage while base layers need supportive, compactable material; consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone together when weighing options and ask our team for guidance if you are uncertain.
Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; use our online material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons for delivery. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and our calculator includes common densities for gravel, sand, dirt, stone to simplify ordering.
Price depends on material type, local availability, haul distance, truck size, and seasonality. Hello Gravel provides transparent per-order pricing at checkout that reflects local supplier rates and delivery fees—check your zip code for exact costs rather than relying on general per-ton estimates.
Shady Shores sees hot summers and occasional cold snaps and heavy rains; heat can cause loose materials to shift and heavy rain can wash or settle freshly placed material. Plan deliveries during dry windows, avoid installation right before forecasted storms, and choose materials and compaction practices suited for the local climate.
Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. For weekend work or large projects schedule several days in advance, add detailed delivery instructions at checkout, and contact our team ASAP for any date changes.
Yes, we connect you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets that deliver to residential addresses, but access limitations can affect delivery. Check with your HOA or municipality for permit or street-use rules, confirm driveway weight limits, and provide clear site instructions in Order Notes to help drivers deliver safely.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely and without special equipment. Request tailgate spreading at checkout, but note that it is not guaranteed—drivers will assess conditions on site and prioritize safety.
DIY is practical for small projects like garden beds, small patios, and a few yards of material, but hire a pro for heavy grading, base compaction, drainage installation, retaining walls, or large driveways where equipment and permits may be required. If you are unsure, our team can help estimate scope and recommend professional services when needed.
Common issues include poor drainage, settling, weed growth, and material migration after heavy rain or traffic. Avoid these by preparing a proper base, using the right depth and material type, compacting where needed, and planning for drainage; regional variations in gravel, sand, dirt, stone mean you should expect some color and texture differences from photos.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes or cancellations—modifications are easier before the order is dispatched but not always possible once processing begins. If there are issues after delivery, reach out to customer service with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve the problem per 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.
