Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lummi Island, WA

Homeowners commonly order a mix of basic aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, paths, raised beds, and drainage. These materials are used for base layers, surfacing, backfill, and grading — the right choice depends on load, appearance, and drainage needs.

Start by defining the function: structural base, drainage layer, or finished surface. Consider weight-bearing needs, slope and drainage, and local climate; then pick a material with the right size and compaction properties from options like gravel, sand, dirt, or stone.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a calculator. Our online material calculator can help, and for irregular sites or slopes it is wise to order a little extra for compaction and waste.

Lummi Island's coastal West Washington weather means wetter months can slow projects and make sites muddy, so late spring through early fall is often easier for deliveries and spreading. Deliveries are possible year-round, but expect slower scheduling and potential access issues during heavy rain or storm conditions.

Suppliers and haulers typically can deliver to private properties, but access constraints like narrow roads, low-clearance trees, steep driveways, or ferry schedules may require offloading at a transfer point. Provide clear directions and any access limitations at checkout so the hauler can plan the safest delivery approach.

Yes. Ferry crossings, narrow island roads, limited turning space, and seasonal demand can add time or extra handling fees. Communicate any ferry booking needs, weight limits, or staging areas when ordering to avoid surprises.

Some large deliveries may require permits for curbside staging, road closure, or ferry vehicle transport, especially for oversized trucks or moves that block public right-of-way. Check with local Lummi Island or Whatcom County authorities before scheduling and note permit needs in your order notes.

For wet, coastal conditions choose materials that drain well and resist washout, such as well-graded gravels and larger crushed stone for base layers, combined with proper geotextile fabrics or drainage systems. Avoid fine, easily compacted materials as exposed surfaces; combining materials to manage runoff and stabilize slopes is often best.

Common solutions include coarse aggregates for diversion and stabilization, erosion-control blankets, geotextile fabrics, retaining structures, and engineered drainage swales. Selecting the right combination depends on slope steepness, soil type, and rainfall intensity; consult a local supplier or contractor for site-specific guidance.

Because materials are regionally sourced, prices reflect local supply, haul distance, and any ferry or special handling costs; island deliveries can be higher than nearby mainland locations due to logistics. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and will show any additional delivery or access fees at checkout.

Minimum orders start at about 3 tons, and standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days. Delivery costs vary with distance, access complexity, and any ferry or staging requirements; our checkout shows delivery fees and next-day options when available.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if site conditions allow and it is requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed. For precise spreading, consider hiring a local contractor or arranging for professional spreading after delivery.

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.
