Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bentonville, VA

Homeowners and contractors in the Bentonville area commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the job. Each material group serves different purposes—drainage, base layers, top dressing, or fill—so choose based on function (drainage vs. compaction vs. finished appearance). Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so ask for local samples if appearance matters.

Start by defining the job: drainage and load-bearing work best with angular base materials, while finish layers prioritize appearance and surface stability. Consider slope, expected traffic, and whether water should soak through or run off; these factors narrow down choices among gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. When in doubt, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance on materials that fit local soil and climate conditions.

Small driveway patches and garden beds often need 1 to 5 cubic yards (roughly 1.5 to 7.5 tons), full residential driveways commonly require 10 to 40 cubic yards (15 to 60 tons), and larger grading or site-prep jobs can exceed 50 cubic yards. Use a simple area x depth calculation (length x width x depth) to estimate cubic yards, then convert to tons with our calculator since material weight varies by type. If you’re unsure, send dimensions or use our online calculator for a more accurate estimate.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons, reflecting typical company policy, and standard delivery is usually 2+ business days. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and delivery costs depend on distance, access, and material type. Free delivery may apply in many locations, but remote or difficult-to-access sites often incur extra hauling charges.

The Bentonville area experiences seasonal freeze-thaw and periodic heavy rain, which can cause settling, washout, and heaving if materials and installation don’t account for drainage. Choose materials and layer systems designed for drainage and compaction, and consider geotextile underlayment on slopes or soft soils. Plan heavier construction for drier months and expect some natural movement in fine materials after the first wet-dry cycle.

The best months for deliveries and most outdoor work are typically late spring through early fall when ground conditions are drier and frost is less likely. Winter brings freeze-thaw and muddy conditions that can complicate delivery and grading, while spring thaw can cause soft ground and washouts. Book early in busy seasons and consider next-day options for urgent work, but allow flexibility for weather-related changes.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if site conditions and safety allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Some local suppliers or contractors can provide installation, grading, or compaction services; Hello Gravel connects you with suppliers and haulers but installation contracts are arranged separately. Request spreading at checkout and confirm availability with the driver on arrival.

Delivery costs in rural areas vary based on distance to the supplier, truck access, site conditions, and material weight and volume. While Hello Gravel shows clear pricing and free delivery in many zones, remote locations or tight access can trigger additional fees for longer hauls or special equipment. Provide an exact address or zip code at checkout to see accurate delivery pricing before you order.

Permit and HOA rules vary widely in the Bentonville area, so check local municipal codes and your neighborhood’s covenants before ordering. Some jobs—especially those that change drainage, alter grades, or impact public right-of-way—can require permits or inspections. When in doubt, contact your local planning office or HOA and include any restrictions in Order Notes so suppliers can plan deliveries accordingly.

Prioritize solutions that combine proper material selection, slope management, and geotechnical measures like geotextile fabric, retaining features, and vegetation. Coarser, well-draining aggregates are generally better for drainage and erosion control, while finer materials are more likely to wash away without stabilization. For steeper slopes or repeat washouts, consult a contractor to design layered systems that include underlayment and appropriate material gradation.

Compare materials based on function: drainage capacity, compaction ability, surface finish, and susceptibility to movement or dust. For base layers pick stable, angular materials; for finished surfaces choose materials that meet your look and maintenance expectations. Also factor in local availability and cost—regional sourcing affects both appearance and price—so request sample pictures or small test deliveries when appearance matters.

Start with Hello Gravel’s online marketplace to see local suppliers, transparent pricing, and delivery options for your zip code, and complement that with local resources like municipal vendor lists, neighborhood Facebook groups, and contractor referrals. Check online reviews, ask for photos of recent jobs in the area, and request references for larger installations. Always confirm delivery details, minimums, and any site access constraints before booking.

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.
