Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Pendleton, IN

Start with the project's purpose: load-bearing surfaces like driveways need more stable, compactable materials, while decorative beds or pathways can use lighter, finer materials. Consider local soil and drainage—Pendleton's soils and nearby geology affect settling and stability—and pick materials that match the look and performance you want. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator and quiz to compare options like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone, and call our team if you want a recommendation for your exact project.

Pendleton experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall that can cause settling, heaving, and erosion over time. Choose materials and installation methods that shed water and resist movement—proper drainage, adequate depth, and good compaction help reduce problems. Plan for occasional maintenance such as regrading or adding fresh material after winter or heavy rains.

Common projects include driveway resurfacing, walkways and patios, raised garden beds and topsoil, drainage or erosion control, backfill for foundations, and base layers for pavers. Bulk delivery is practical for both small homeowner jobs and larger contractor projects because it supplies consistent material in the volumes needed. When planning, match the material type and depth to the project function and expected traffic.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use a material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons—Hello Gravel's online calculator will do this for you. As a rough guide, paths often need 3-4 inches of material, driveways typically need 4-6 inches of compactable base plus a wearing layer, and structural bases may require deeper sections. If you're unsure, send photos and dimensions to our team and we can help confirm quantities.

Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days after ordering, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) capable of dumping bulk loads; minimum order sizes generally start at 3 tons. During checkout you can pick a delivery date and add notes about access or spreading preferences.

Delivery costs depend on the material type, order size, distance from the supplier, and site access; optional services like tailgate spreading or difficult access can add fees. Many areas offer free or flat-rate delivery for larger orders—your exact cost is calculated during checkout so you see transparent pricing before you buy. If you need a custom quote for a large or complicated delivery, contact our sales team.

You may need permits for work that changes curb cuts, alters stormwater flow, or involves significant grading; HOA covenants may also restrict material types, colors, or driveway width. Check with the Town of Pendleton, Madison County permit office, and your HOA before ordering to avoid project delays. If you need help understanding local norms, our team can point you toward common local requirements based on experience in the area.

The best window is typically late spring through early fall when ground is not frozen and conditions are drier, which makes compaction and finishing easier. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy rainy seasons or when frost is present, as wet or frozen ground can complicate placement and compaction. If you need a fast turnaround, next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST, weather and supplier availability permitting.

Clear the drop zone of vehicles, lawn furniture, and loose items; mark underground utilities and protect fragile landscaping or structures. Make sure there is truck access and a clear area for the driver to dump material, and note gates, driveways, or low-hanging branches in the order notes. If you need spreading help, request tailgate spreading at checkout but expect the driver to assess whether it can be done safely.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, texture and color can vary from photos; this is normal with natural materials. Contact customer service as soon as possible to request changes—modifications are easier before the order is processed or dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate you. For issues after delivery, report the problem promptly and we will work to resolve it according to our policies.

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.
