Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Kent, WA

Costs vary by material, order size, and delivery distance, but expect a wide range. For the Seattle-Tacoma area many homeowners see per-unit pricing that varies greatly with volume and access; small orders and next-day service usually cost more per ton or cubic yard. Ask for a local quote for the most accurate price and factor in any fees for tight access or special placement.

Choose materials that shed water and compact well for structural work, and materials with good drainage for wet areas. In Kent’s climate, angular aggregates and well-graded mixes are often used as bases under paving, while looser, free-draining materials work well for surface drainage. Because materials are regionally sourced, expect some variation in color and texture across gravel, sand, dirt, stone.

Standard delivery windows are usually 2+ business days from order, with next-day delivery available for orders placed early (note next-day cutoff times may follow our national policy). Minimum orders are commonly around 3 tons, and deliveries are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle) so plan quantities and access accordingly. Confirm timing and minimums when you place your order for the zip code 98030 area.

You should check both city of Kent permit requirements and any HOA rules before ordering if your project involves curb cuts, work in the public right-of-way, or major grading. Many simple deliveries do not require a permit, but changes to driveways, retaining walls, or road closures often do. When in doubt, contact your city permit office or your HOA early in planning to avoid delays.

Some Kent streets and properties have narrow drives, low overhead wires, steep grades, or limited on-street parking that can restrict large dump truck access. If your property has tight access, gates, or a fragile lawn, note those restrictions when ordering so your supplier and driver can plan. Drivers will assess placement on arrival, but advanced communication helps avoid unexpected extra fees or staging challenges.

Start with the basic math: 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so multiply your area (in square feet) by the desired depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Typical ranges: small garden beds 1-3 cubic yards, a 10x10 patio at 3-4 inches deep about 1-3 cubic yards, and driveways commonly 10-30 cubic yards depending on length, width, and base depth. Use an online material calculator or contact our team with dimensions for a more precise estimate.

Effective erosion control combines stable materials, soil stabilization, and vegetation: larger, angular rock or stone is often used for slope armor, while well-graded mixes and geotextile fabrics help stabilize joints and reduce washout. Terracing, retaining structures, and planting native groundcover or deep-rooted plants are important for long-term stability in Kent’s rainy climate. Tailor material choice to the slope, soil type, and local drainage conditions.

Late spring through early fall is generally the most reliable time for outdoor deliveries and installations in Kent, when soils are firmer and rainfall is lower. Winter months bring more rain and softer ground, which can limit access and increase the chance of delays or surface damage. Regardless of season, plan with extra lead time and confirm your delivery window to allow for weather-related adjustments.

Drivers may be able to do limited tailgate spreading or place material close to the drop zone, but that service is performed at the driver's discretion and cannot be guaranteed. You can request spreading or specific placement at checkout and mark areas clearly on site, but be prepared that truck size and site conditions will affect what the driver can safely do. If you need detailed spreading or precise placement, consider hiring a labor crew or contractor to finish after delivery.

Clear a staging and drop zone, mark utilities, and remove obstacles so a tri-axle dump truck can safely access your site. Protect sensitive surfaces like lawns and driveways when possible, and provide clear directions or photos of access during checkout. Communicate any access restrictions or permits to the delivery team beforehand and plan for how you will spread or store materials once they are delivered.

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.
