Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Algona, WA

Costs vary by material, quantity, and local supplier rates, but a delivered load in the Algona area typically depends on the number of tons ordered and delivery distance. Use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or request a custom estimate to see transparent pricing for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone in your zip code. Ask about minimum order requirements and any delivery fees when you get a quote.

Buying the minimum 3-ton delivery through Hello Gravel is often simplest for homeowners, but the most economical option can be buying larger bulk amounts to reduce per-ton cost. If you have a pickup or trailer and supplier pickup is available, self-haul can be cheaper, but factor in time, vehicle limits, and local availability. Compare delivered quotes and any pickup fees before deciding.

Bulk material delivery means a contracted dump truck brings loose material to your site and places it where the truck can safely dump. Hello Gravel coordinates local suppliers and hauling fleets, offers scheduled delivery dates, and may provide optional tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion. Expect communication about arrival windows and instructions for safe truck access.

Estimate by calculating the driveway area (length x width) and desired depth, then convert that volume to cubic yards and tons using our material calculator or guidance. Costs depend on material choice, depth, and finish — for example, a thicker base and a different surface aggregate will increase quantity and price.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local haulers carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, which translates to a broad tonnage range depending on material density. Depending on whether you choose gravel, sand, dirt, or stone, that can mean roughly 12 to 20 tons per truck; densities vary by region and material type. Hello Gravel shows estimated quantities and can confirm the truck size when you place an order.

Convert area and depth to volume: area (square feet) x depth (feet) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by the material’s typical weight (varies by material) or use Hello Gravel’s calculator to get tons. Because material density and compaction differ, we recommend ordering a small overage (5-10%) for coverage and settling.

Two inches may be adequate for a temporary walking path or decorative top layer, but most driveways require thicker base layers for support — typically 4 to 8 inches depending on traffic and soil. Proper subgrade preparation and drainage are just as important as depth for longevity. Ask our team about layered designs (base plus surface) to match load and local climate conditions.

Coverage per ton depends on material density and how thickly you spread it; as a rough guide, one ton can cover about 50 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth. Lighter, looser materials cover more area per ton than dense stone. Use the Hello Gravel calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions to get a more accurate estimate.

Start by choosing the desired depth; for example, at 2 inches depth 1,000 sq ft equals about 6.17 cubic yards (1,000 x 0.1667 / 27) — then convert cubic yards to tons using the material’s typical weight. Exact tonnage varies by material and moisture content, so get a tailored estimate through Hello Gravel to determine how many tons to order. We usually recommend adding 5-10% extra to account for compaction and spillage.

Yes, you can place materials over existing soil, but performance improves with a bit of preparation: remove vegetation, grade the area, install fabric or edging if desired, and compact the subgrade. For driveways or high-traffic areas, a compacted base layer and proper drainage are important to prevent rutting and washout. Request guidance from Hello Gravel for material and depth recommendations for your specific site.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days after ordering, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery availability can vary by zip code in the West Washington area, so check your primary zip or contact our team to confirm timing. We’ll provide a delivery date during checkout and notify you with truck arrival details.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site access, safety, and whether spreading is feasible upon arrival. If you need guaranteed spreading, consider hiring a local contractor and note spreading preferences in the Order Notes when you place an order.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible — changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to modify orders, but ability to change or cancel depends on supplier and truck scheduling. For urgent issues or delivery day problems, reach our customer service for assistance and next steps.

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.
