The region's frequent rain means drainage and stability are top priorities. For driveways and paths choose materials that shed water and compact well; for drainage projects select coarser, more permeable products. Keep in mind local sourcing means texture and color may vary with regional geology.

Demand typically rises in spring and early summer, so lead times can be longer then; winter and very wet periods can slow deliveries and make job sites harder to access. For common residential orders plan at least 1 to 2 weeks ahead during busy seasons, and use our next-day option if you need faster delivery and qualify for the cutoff time.

Some driveway resurfacing, curb cuts, or street-edge work can require city permits, and many HOAs have rules about materials and appearance. Always check University Place city permit requirements and your HOA guidelines before ordering, and consider including permit notes in your order so your supplier is aware of any restrictions.

Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, which need room to turn, enough driveway strength, and clearance from overhead wires and low-hanging trees. Some residential streets and bridges have weight or parking restrictions; if access looks tight, provide delivery photos and notes at checkout and check local road rules to avoid delays or additional fees.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet and divide the product by 27 to get cubic yards (length x width x depth / 27 = cubic yards). Convert to tons using a rough range—about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material—or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a more precise recommendation. Note our minimum order is 3 tons.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days at no extra fee, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day delivery may be possible in limited situations, and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; however spreading is not guaranteed so request it at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess site safety on arrival.

Contractors consider availability from local suppliers, material performance for drainage and compaction, cost, and job logistics such as haul distance and staging space. Regional geology and climate also play a role—materials that perform well in West Washington's wet conditions and are readily available nearby often get chosen to reduce cost and schedule risk.

Prices and availability are generally similar to nearby Tacoma but can vary by a few dollars per ton depending on haul distance, supplier inventory, and local demand. Larger projects may get better per-ton pricing when sourced from larger nearby yards, while smaller residential orders may see slightly higher delivery costs—use our zip-code lookup for precise comparisons.

Provide a clear drop location, any gate or access codes, notes about soft shoulders or narrow turns, and a contact number so the driver can call on arrival. Mention if there are overhead obstructions, parking restrictions, or permit requirements, and request tailgate spreading if needed, knowing the driver will assess safety and may not be able to provide spreading.

Natural aggregates vary with regional sourcing, so texture, color, and exact particle size can differ from photos. You can add color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, and if the material is significantly different than expected contact customer service so we can help resolve the issue according to our policies.

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.
