Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Dulles, VA

Homeowners and contractors in Dulles commonly choose a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, pathways, beds, and drainage features. Choice depends on use: heavier traffic needs more durable, well-graded aggregates, while garden beds and finishing layers prioritize appearance and weed control.

Start by defining the project purpose (driveway, drainage, garden bed, base layer), expected load, drainage needs, and desired look. Consider local climate and HOA rules, use a material calculator or our aggregate quiz, and contact our team for help matching material properties to your site and budget.

Dulles experiences freeze-thaw cycles and significant rainfall at times, which can shift or rut poorly drained materials and cause erosion. Pick materials with good drainage and stability, plan for proper compaction and grading, and avoid placing exposed finish layers right before heavy rain or deep freezes.

Hello Gravel serves Dulles and nearby zip codes; check your zip to confirm availability. Our minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Deliveries arrive on contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Drivers will place material where it can be safely dumped, may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and will assess access on arrival; please note driveway protection, narrow access, or HOA rules in your order notes so we can plan.

Many home and neighborhood associations in Loudoun County have rules about driveway materials, curb cuts, and truck access, and larger projects may need county permits for grading or stormwater changes. Check with your HOA and Loudoun County before ordering to avoid delays or required changes.

Measure the length, width, and depth of the area to be filled and use a material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons for the material group gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Because density varies by material, use our online calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate before you order.

Well-graded, angular aggregates for structural stability, combined with appropriate base layers and geotextile fabric, usually perform best for drainage and slope control. Also consider terraces, retaining solutions, and proper grading so water moves away from structures rather than along the slope.

Spring and fall are generally best for material delivery and installation because of moderate temperatures and lower likelihood of storms; summer can be busy and winter weather can cause delays. Schedule deliveries at least a few days out, check the forecast, and allow time for site prep and compaction.

Some local suppliers and independent contractors offer installation, compaction, and grading, but Hello Gravel connects you with material suppliers and haulers rather than providing full installation. Ask our team for local contractor referrals or include installation requests when seeking quotes so you can compare costs and services.

Common issues include narrow roads, cul-de-sacs, low-clearance gates, and HOA truck restrictions. Tell us about access limitations when ordering, provide photos in Order Notes if possible, and we can coordinate smaller trucks, alternative drop points, or additional permitting as needed; the driver will reassess safety on arrival.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material color, texture, availability, and price can vary between Dulles and surrounding Northern Virginia or West Virginia markets. For accurate pricing and lead times, request a local quote through our site so we can factor in current availability and delivery distance.

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.
