Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Roanoke, VA

Local projects in Roanoke commonly use a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, patios, and grading. Each material has different drainage, compaction, and appearance properties, so choice depends on function, budget, and desired look. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from what you see online.

Pick materials based on the function: well-draining mixes for erosion control, firmer, angular aggregates for driveway stability, and finer fills for grading and planting beds. Roanoke’s hilly terrain and seasonal rainfall make drainage a key concern, so prioritize materials that shed water and compact well where you need load-bearing. If in doubt, describe your site conditions to our team for guidance.

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause fine materials to shift and settle, while heavy rainfall increases erosion and washout risk on slopes. Using well-graded, angular aggregates and proper base preparation reduces movement and improves longevity. Consider drainage solutions like a compacted base, edging, and proper slope to manage runoff.

Spring through fall is generally best for delivery and installation in Roanoke because ground is easier to work and there is less risk of freeze-related issues. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rain forecasts or when the ground is saturated to reduce tracking and compaction problems. For small jobs you may still work in winter, but expect slower site drying and possible rescheduling due to weather.

Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Larger or specialty orders, or deliveries to remote sites, may require more lead time depending on supplier and truck availability. Always choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and contact our team if you need a specific window.

Most local suppliers and haulers cover Roanoke and surrounding zip codes, including both city neighborhoods and nearby rural areas, but coverage can vary by supplier and truck type. When you enter your zip code at checkout we confirm local availability and any additional fees for long hauls or difficult access. If you have a tight access point or narrow road, let us know so we can match an appropriate truck.

Prices vary by material type, local supply, and delivery distance, so providing a single number is difficult; expect a range rather than a fixed price. For an accurate estimate, use our online quote tool or request a delivery estimate for your zip code and project size. Transparent pricing will be provided before you confirm the order.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, then convert to cubic yards: (length x width x depth in feet) divided by 27 equals cubic yards. For driveways and base layers, depth commonly ranges from 3 to 8 inches depending on use; patios and top dressing may need shallower depths. If you prefer, use our material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick recommendation.

Some projects may require city or county permits, especially if they alter drainage, change driveway openings, or affect public right-of-way. Homeowner association rules can also restrict material type, color, or placement on visible front yards. Check with the City of Roanoke, Roanoke County, and any HOA before ordering large quantities, and contact our team if you need help identifying likely permit needs.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Standard delivery is from a dump truck, so expect a pile to be deposited where the truck can safely access. Provide clear delivery instructions and photos at checkout if access is tight or you need material left in a specific spot.

Small homeowner landscaping jobs often start at the minimum order of about 3 tons, while larger driveway or site projects can require tens of tons. Labor costs depend on whether you do the work yourself or hire a contractor for excavation, compaction, and finishing; professionals can also advise on proper base prep and drainage. Factor in site prep, potential hauling within the property, and cleanup when budgeting.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
