Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Tukwila, WA

Homeowners in Tukwila commonly choose a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. Permeable gravel or crushed stone is popular for driveways and paths because it drains well in the rainy climate, while blended soils and topdressings are used for planting beds and lawn repairs. Material choice should balance appearance, drainage needs, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Because Tukwila gets frequent rain, prioritize materials and designs that manage water: well-graded aggregates, permeable surfaces, proper slope, and geotextile underlayers. Avoid fine, non-draining fills where standing water can occur and consider using washed rock or layered systems to improve runoff. Good drainage planning reduces erosion, puddling, and winter freeze-thaw damage.

You can order materials year-round, but late spring through early fall (May through September) is usually the easiest for deliveries and installation due to drier ground conditions. Winter and early spring bring more rain and saturated soils, which can delay excavation or heavy equipment work and increase the chance of rutting. If you need faster timing, ask about next-day delivery options but be prepared for weather-related scheduling changes.

Some projects may require permits—especially major driveway changes, significant grading, large soil imports/exports, or work that affects public right-of-way or storm drainage. Permit rules can vary by project size and scope, so check with the City of Tukwila and King County before you start. If in doubt, contact the city planning or public works department to confirm requirements.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, so you need a clear access route, adequate turning radius, and a suitable dump area. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Note any site constraints in the order notes, request tailgate spreading if desired, and make sure overhead lines, HOA rules, or street-parking permits are addressed ahead of time.

Minimum orders are typically around 3 tons with Hello Gravel, and delivery fees vary by distance, material type, and quantity. We offer transparent pricing and free delivery in many areas, but some locations and next-day deliveries may have additional charges. The best way to know exact cost is to enter your zip code and get a quote for your specific address and material.

Calculate the volume by multiplying length by width by depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using a general range of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on material density. For sloped or compacted areas, add 5 to 10 percent for waste or compaction. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for help with more complex projects.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site safety and access when they arrive and may decline spreading if conditions are unsafe or impractical. Plan for a helper or tools on site if you need precise placement or finishing work.

Materials reflect regional geology, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary even for the same product type. Expect some variation from photos and ask suppliers about local samples if appearance is important. These variations can also influence compaction, drainage, and suitability for certain uses, so discuss your project goals when ordering.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers and can help arrange material delivery, but combined installation services are usually offered by local contractors. For a single quote that includes both materials and installation, request a bundled estimate from contractors or ask suppliers if they partner with installers. Always verify permits, timelines, and who is responsible for site prep, grading, and cleanup before work begins.

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.
