Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lake Stevens, WA

Choose materials based on function rather than brand. For load-bearing areas like driveways pick angular, compactable aggregates for stability; for top dressing, pathways, and xeriscaping choose smaller, decorative aggregates; for drainage or base layers choose coarser, free-draining mixes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in color and texture, so check photos and order samples if appearance matters.

Use square footage, depth, and material density to estimate quantities, and try our online material calculator for quick conversions. As a rule of thumb, small planting beds often need 1-3 cubic yards, a driveway resurfacing typically uses 10-30 cubic yards, and 1 cubic yard of an aggregate generally converts to about 1.2-1.6 tons depending on the material. If you are unsure, contact our sales team with dimensions and we will help refine the estimate.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers via professional dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery is 2+ 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 at checkout. Tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.

Lake Stevens sees a wetter climate, so schedule base and grading work for drier months like late spring through early fall when compaction and drainage installations perform best. For projects done in wet seasons, choose better-draining mixes and plan for extra time for delivery and site preparation. Always consider temporary erosion control if work overlaps heavy rains.

Costs vary by material type, quantity, distance from local quarries, and accessibility of the delivery site. Expect a range in delivered pricing depending on those factors, and use Hello Gravel’s quote tool to see transparent pricing for your zip code (primary zip 98258). For planning, ask for a detailed quote that separates material cost and delivery/handling fees.

Yes, local rules and HOA covenants can affect driveway replacements, large deliveries, and changes to drainage. Check City of Lake Stevens public works and any HOA guidelines before ordering large quantities, and verify permits for work in public right-of-way or near protected wetlands. If in doubt, contact our team for advice on common local considerations before you schedule delivery.

For slopes, pick coarser, angular materials that interlock and resist movement, and consider combining them with erosion-control fabric, retaining features, or vegetation to stabilize the soil. Use stepped terraces or reinforced edging for steep grades and design drainage to move water away from vulnerable areas. If you need help matching material size and installation techniques to a slope, our team can offer general guidance and recommend local contractors.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery of materials rather than full installations, but some local suppliers or contracted drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion. Request spreading in the Order Notes and understand drivers will assess safety and access on arrival; spreading is not guaranteed. For full installation services, ask our sales team for recommendations for local contractors who handle installation.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, texture, color, and mix proportions will reflect local geology and can vary between suppliers. Photos are representative, and exact matches cannot be guaranteed, so add appearance preferences in Order Notes or request samples when color is important. If a product looks significantly different than expected, contact customer service and we will work to find a solution.

Ensure the delivery area is accessible for a tri-axle dump truck and free of low-hanging wires, parked cars, or obstacles; provide clear drop location instructions at checkout. Mark utilities and confirm ground conditions so trucks can safely approach—soft or muddy ground may limit how close a truck can get, affecting placement. If you have special access needs, contact us before dispatch so we can coordinate with the driver.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible with your order number and requested changes. We will do our best to accommodate updates prior to processing and dispatch, but ability to change depends on the order status and supplier schedules. For cancellations or issues after delivery, please review our policies and reach out quickly so we can help resolve the situation.

Common projects include driveway repairs, patio and pathway bases, garden beds, drainage improvements, and erosion control. Choose materials based on function: stability and compaction for driveways, fine top layers for walking surfaces, and coarse, draining mixes for French drains or base layers. If you are unsure, use our aggregate quiz or call our sales team with project details for tailored guidance.
