Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lanexa, VA

Lanexa sees humid summers, regular rainfall, and occasional freezes in winter, all of which affect how materials perform. Materials that drain well and resist freeze-thaw movement tend to last longer in these conditions. Local soils can be clayey or loamy, so plan for good base preparation and drainage regardless of the material chosen.

Pick materials based on load, drainage needs, appearance, and maintenance. For driving surfaces choose harder, well-graded aggregates and a stable base; for planting beds prioritize materials that support drainage and plant health. Use our material calculator or contact the sales team for help matching gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends to your project.

Quantities vary by project size, but common ranges are: small garden bed 1-3 tons, walkways 2-6 tons, 1-car driveway 15-25 tons, 2-car driveway 25-40 tons, patio base 5-15 tons. These are estimates—use our calculator or send dimensions for a tailored estimate since depth and compaction change totals.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require clear, stable access to the drop location. Narrow roads, low-hanging wires, or soft shoulders can prevent full-size trucks from reaching the site; in those cases haulers may drop at the nearest accessible point or use smaller equipment. We require a minimum order of 3 tons and offer standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Permit and local rules vary by project and neighborhood, so check New Kent County building and planning departments and any HOA rules before ordering. Simple deliveries usually do not need a permit, but major driveway work, curb cuts, or long-term street parking for trucks may require approval. If you expect any special access needs, contact our team so we can coordinate with the hauler.

Spring and fall are often the best times because the ground is stable and weather is mild, making installation and compaction easier. Avoid scheduling during heavy rain or freeze-thaw periods when possible, and plan ahead for busy summer windows. Order early if you need next-day delivery or a specific date, and keep in mind lead times can change seasonally.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. They will assess safety and feasibility on arrival, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and hauler policies. If precise spreading is required, plan for a separate professional spreading service.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary based on local geology. Photos are representative; expect natural variation and note any color preferences in your order notes. If exact appearance matters, ask for a sample or speak with our team before confirming the order.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons. Pricing depends on material type, local availability, and delivery distance, so use our online quote tool for exact costs. Many areas qualify for free standard delivery, while next-day service and long-distance drops may have additional fees.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, lawn furniture, and debris, and mark the preferred drop location with visible flags or stakes. Call 811 to mark underground utilities before digging or heavy offloading, and make sure access points are wide and stable enough for a dump truck. If your yard is soft, put down plywood to protect turf and help the truck get in and out safely.

Choose aggregates and soil mixes that encourage water movement and resist washing on slopes. Coarser, well-graded materials combined with proper base preparation and geotextile fabric help with drainage and erosion control. For steep or high-flow areas consider layered solutions (drainage layer, filter fabric, and surface material) and consult our team for recommendations.

Contact our customer service as soon as possible—changes are easiest before an order is dispatched. We will work with local suppliers and haulers to accommodate requests when we can and to resolve delivery issues. See our refund policy for details and keep pictures handy if you need to report damage or a problem.

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.
