Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Carson, WA

Start by matching the material to the project goals: durability and load-bearing for driveways, fine finish for patios, and drainage for sloped areas. Consider a combination of base and surface materials from the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone to get strength, compaction, and drainage where you need them. Account for West Washington rainfall and local soil by choosing materials that drain well and by planning for proper base preparation and edging.

Spring through early fall often offers the most predictable weather for spreading and compacting materials, but deliveries are available year-round. In rainy periods plan around drier days for easier installation and less site disruption. Remember our standard delivery window is 2+ business days and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee.

Quantity needs depend on depth and area; as a rough guide, a 10x10 patio at 2 inches requires much less material than a 12-foot-wide driveway at 6 inches. One cubic yard typically converts to about 1.2–1.5 tons depending on the material, and our site calculator can give a tailored estimate. Note our minimum order is 3 tons, so check quantities before checkout to avoid shortages.

Plan for a tri-axle dump truck to approach the drop location and room to maneuver; clear a path free of low branches, parked cars, and obstacles. Drivers usually need roughly 12 feet of width and sufficient turning room, and many sites require flat, stable access to avoid offloading issues. Indicate your preferred drop spot in Order Notes and confirm access during checkout so haulers can prepare.

Permit requirements vary by project in Carson and by county, especially for new driveways, changes to stormwater flow, or work in public right-of-way. Check with Carson city or Skamania County planning and your HOA if applicable before ordering. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but does not obtain permits on your behalf.

Because West Washington gets frequent rain, prioritize materials and assemblies that promote good drainage and resist erosion, and plan for proper subgrade and base layers. Use edging, slope breaks, and fabric or stabilizers where needed to reduce washout and migration. Also plan installation during drier windows and add sediment control measures if the site drains toward sensitive areas.

Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing up front and factors in material cost, delivery, and any add-on services. Expect a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Additional charges may apply for long hauls, restricted access, or requested spreading services, so check your zip code and order details at checkout.

Choose based on function: load-bearing and drainage needs favor coarser, well-graded materials, while fine finishes and leveling calls may use finer materials. Consider compaction and maintenance needs, how the material settles in your local soil, and the visual finish you want. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or contact the team to match material properties to your specific project goals.

Maintenance frequency depends on use, grade, and drainage; high-traffic driveways may need replenishing or regrading every few years while low-traffic paths last longer. Expect to periodically top up material to restore surface levels, regrade to correct ruts, and control vegetation with edging and weed fabric. Proper initial installation with good drainage reduces long-term maintenance needs.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if site conditions allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and understand the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. For precise grading or large areas, consider hiring a professional spreading and compacting crew.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, toys, and landscaping items, and mark desired drop locations with flags or cones. Mark or call out any underground utilities or fragile features and make sure access gates are unlocked and dogs are secured. Providing clear directions and order notes helps drivers deliver to the right spot and reduces the chance of delays or rehandles.

Contact our customer team as soon as possible with order details; it is generally easier to modify or cancel before dispatch. We will work to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee changes once trucks are en route. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly so we can investigate and help resolve it according to our policies.

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.
