Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Startup, WA

Measure the length, width, and depth of the area you want to fill and use the formula: volume = length x width x depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Weight per cubic yard varies by material, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to convert to tons and confirm minimum order requirements (3 tons). For irregular areas, round up 5-10% for compaction and waste.

For most projects in Startup, buying by the yard or ton is more cost-effective when you need more than a few bags because you avoid bagging costs and handling. Bags can make sense for very small jobs or when storage is limited. Check quantities against our calculator and compare total delivered price, remembering we require a 3-ton minimum for deliveries.

Typical surface guidelines are 2-4 inches for decorative top layers (mulch or small aggregates), 3-6 inches for walking paths, and 4-8 inches or more for base layers under driveways and pavers depending on soil and traffic. Always consider drainage and compaction: softer soils may need thicker base material. When in doubt, ask our team for project-specific recommendations.

We source materials regionally from trusted local suppliers to reflect the geology of West Washington, so color and texture may vary from photos. Local sourcing reduces travel time and helps ensure materials are suitable for Startup's climate and soils. If you have a color or texture preference, note it on your order and our team will try to match it when possible.

Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days; 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 receive a confirmation once a local supplier and hauler are assigned. Exact arrival windows depend on the contracted trucking company and local traffic.

Drivers may be willing to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and access at the site. Request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout so the driver can plan, but be prepared to do final spreading yourself or hire a local landscaper. We recommend protecting plants and hardscapes before delivery.

Dump trucks are typically tri-axle and need room to turn and a stable surface to park; they cannot dump on steep slopes or fragile lawns without risk. Provide clear access instructions and gate codes in Order Notes, and consider asking for a smaller truck if space is tight (extra fees may apply). Our team will work with the hauler to plan the safest drop location.

Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes; we will do our best to accommodate edits before the order is processed or dispatched. Modifications may be limited once a supplier or truck is assigned, and fees or delays can apply. For cancellations, check your order confirmation and our policies for timing and potential charges.

Customers commonly use bulk materials for driveways and driveway repairs, drainage fixes, raised beds and garden topdressing, pathways and patios, and leveling or filling low spots. Contractors also order materials for site work, backfill, and base layers for pavers. If you tell us the project type and expected traffic, we can suggest appropriate material types and depths.

West Washington's wet winters and mild summers make drainage and frost resistance important considerations; choose materials and depths that shed water and compact well. Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain if possible, and plan for seasonal compaction or frost heave when designing base layers. Our team can recommend materials better suited to local conditions.

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.
