Why Salem Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Salem, Virginia, with a population of 32,380, is experiencing steady development that is reshaping homeowner priorities. An annual growth rate of 2.40% points to ongoing renovation, new construction, and outdoor upgrades—more driveways, patios, grading, and drainage work—which increases demand for reliable bulk materials. Local climate and geography reinforce those needs: about 228 sunny days each year combined with roughly 34.25 inches of rainfall and a hardiness zone of 8b mean soils regularly cycle between wet and dry conditions, so homeowners need materials that balance drainage, stability, and UV/weather resistance. That makes quality locally sourced aggregates, topsoil blends, sand, mulch, and engineered fills especially important for long-lasting results in both landscaping and structural projects.Popular Projects in Salem This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Salem Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Salem.
Yes. You can order bulk materials online and we will connect you with local suppliers and haulers that deliver to Salem (zip 24153) and nearby ZIP codes, but availability depends on the delivery zip. Minimum orders and delivery options vary by area (our minimum order is typically 3 tons), so check your zip code on checkout or contact our team to confirm service and any local fees.
Choose a material based on the function you need: drainage, weed control, walkability, or aesthetics. Think about properties like drainage, compaction, and appearance—then pick from common options such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone—and use our material calculator or contact our sales team for help matching material to your Salem project.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth in feet / 27). As a rough conversion, one cubic yard of many aggregates is about 1.3 tons, but densities vary by material, so use our online calculator or request a quote for a precise tonnage estimate.
Requirements depend on area and desired depth: driveway bases are often 3-6 inches, while garden beds and mulch layers are commonly 2-3 inches. Use the area/depth method to calculate cubic yards and convert to tons, or use our project calculators and sample estimates during checkout to get a quick idea for your specific Salem project.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery offered for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets; you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and we will confirm timing with you before dispatch.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site access. If you want spreading, request it at checkout and be prepared to provide clear access and guidance when the driver arrives.
Some locations may incur extra fees for long hauls, tight access, steep driveways, or special placement requests. Make sure to note driveway conditions, obstacles, and any permit requirements when ordering so we can provide an accurate quote and advise on safe delivery options.
Materials reflect local geology and regional sourcing, so texture, size, and color can vary from photos and samples. If appearance is important, add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and request photos or to see a local sample before delivery.
Provide your contractor with the delivery date and material type so they can prepare the site and tools for spreading and compaction. You can have materials delivered to the job address and coordinate timing with your landscaper; we can also communicate delivery details directly if you provide the contact information.
Request a quote online using your Salem zip code, or call/text our team with the project address, material type, project dimensions (length, width, depth), and photos of the site. We will check local availability, confirm minimums and delivery options, and provide pricing and scheduling information.
Yes. Wet or freezing conditions can affect delivery and how materials perform after placement, so schedule deliveries and installations with local weather in mind. If your project is time-sensitive, consider the next-day option or plan for a window when the ground is dry and accessible.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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.
