Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Kelso, WA

For most landscaping and construction projects in Kelso, buying bulk materials is generally more cost-effective than buying the same materials in small bags. Bulk orders lower the per-ton or per-cubic-yard price, but costs vary by material and supplier; factor in your minimum order (typically 3 tons) and delivery fees when comparing. For small projects, calculate total coverage to see if bulk still makes sense or if bags are more convenient.

Kelso lies roughly in USDA hardiness zone 8a, which means mild winters and a long growing season for many plants. For material selection, that translates to prioritizing good drainage and organic content for planting beds and choosing frost-tolerant options where needed. Always check local extension resources for plant-specific advice and plan soil or mulch types based on what you intend to grow.

Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for deliveries carry roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards, which converts to about 6 to 12 tons depending on material density. Because density varies between gravel, sand, dirt, and stone, use our material calculator or contact our sales team to convert your volume needs into tons and get a more accurate delivery cost. Keep in mind minimum order sizes and that heavier materials may result in smaller cubic yard volumes per ton.

A common guideline is to apply mulch in a 2 to 3 inch layer for most garden beds, avoiding packing mulch tightly against plant stems and tree trunks. Refresh organic mulches annually or as needed; inorganic covers like decorative stone may need less frequent topping. Local rainfall and plant types in Kelso influence how often you should replenish material, so adjust thickness and timing for drainage and plant health.

Kelso's wet winters and mild summers mean drainage and erosion control are important considerations when selecting materials. Choose mixes that shed water well for driveways and paths, and favor soils or amendments that promote healthy root growth for planting areas. Expect seasonal delivery constraints in very wet weather and plan projects for the drier months when possible.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic yards, then use our online calculator to convert to tons based on the material type. Our minimum order is typically 3 tons, so compare your calculated need to that threshold and round up for settling or compaction. If you prefer help, contact our sales team with dimensions and project type and we can provide an estimate and recommended materials.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, and we work with local suppliers and haulers to schedule drop-off by professional dump trucks. Note that exact timing can vary and we confirm dates once the supplier is assigned.

Drivers may be able to provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. For planned spreading, consider hiring a local contractor or scheduling additional services if precise spreading is required.

Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from images and samples; this is normal and expected. If you need to change an order, contact our team as soon as possible — changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For issues after delivery, reach out to customer service and follow our issue resolution steps for assistance.

Typical projects in Kelso include driveways, patios, raised garden beds, lawn topdressing, erosion control, and drainage improvements. Choose materials based on function: durable, well-draining mixes for driveways and paths; looser, nutrient-rich blends for planting areas; and heavier, angular aggregates for base layers. Use our aggregate quiz or contact our team to match the right combination of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to your specific project needs.

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.
