Why Fairfax Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fairfax is a growing suburban hub with a city population of 146,852 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million, and a steady growth rate of 2.10% annually that keeps demand for home improvements, additions, and public infrastructure consistently active. That steady expansion means more driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and garden projects — all jobs that rely on dependable bulk materials. Fairfax’s temperate climate (hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall) creates a mix of wet and dry conditions that influence material choice: homeowners need aggregates and soils that support drainage, resist displacement during storms, and promote healthy planting when used as topsoil or mulch. Across landscaping and construction projects, consistent-quality gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone help projects finish faster, perform better, and reduce rework caused by settling or erosion.Popular Projects in Fairfax This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fairfax Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fairfax.
Start with the project goal: drainage, walking surface, decorative cover, or building a base. Consider traffic (foot vs vehicle), slope and drainage needs, and appearance preferences; regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, and stone will vary locally. Use our material calculator or contact the team for sizing and suggested products for Fairfax projects.
Some materials can suppress weeds when applied correctly: a solid layer of mulch or a compacted gravel layer reduces light and makes it harder for weeds to emerge. For long-term control combine a weed barrier, correct depth, and periodic maintenance; no material completely prevents weeds forever.
Yes. Keep decorative layers shallow (1-3 inches for stone or mulch) and thicker for leveling or drainage as needed, and avoid piling material against plant trunks or foundation walls. For structural uses like a driveway base, follow recommended compacted depths and consult a pro for load-bearing specs.
Bulk materials are usually cheaper per ton or cubic yard than bagged products, especially for larger projects, but factor in minimum order sizes, delivery fees, and storage. For very small or tightly timed jobs, bagged materials may be more convenient despite higher unit cost.
Spring through early fall is ideal for most landscaping and hardscaping because of milder weather and fewer frozen conditions; fall is often good for mulching and soil amendments. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during heavy rain or freeze-thaw periods to reduce site damage and compaction; check local weather before booking.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers roughly 10-14 cubic yards, which can equal about 8-14 tons depending on the material's density. Cost depends on material type, quantity, and delivery distance; use our checkout to get transparent pricing for your Fairfax zip code and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Provide a clear drop location, note any site access issues or gate codes, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired; drivers may perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; for weight estimates convert using the material's typical density. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or text the team with your measurements and project type to get an estimate tailored to Fairfax conditions.
Common projects include pathways and driveways, garden bed top dressing, drainage and grading, and base layers for pavers. Gravel, sand, dirt, and stone each serve different roles—choose well-draining mixes for drainage, angular stone for bases, and finer sand or dirt for leveling and planting beds.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos; if something looks off contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue. For order changes, reach out as soon as possible—modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched but are not guaranteed.
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.

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.

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.
