Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Converse, IN

Costs vary by material type, quantity, and distance from the supplier. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional pricing that can change by zip code, so the fastest way to get an accurate number is to check your zip on the website or request a quote. Delivery fees, next-day options, and material choice (gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch) all affect the total price.

Deliveries are made by dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers drop material at a pre-approved location on your property. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion if requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Before delivery, clear overhead wires, confirm the drop zone, and make sure trucks can safely turn and weight limits for driveways are considered.

You can order a range of bulk materials including gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch, and topsoil; exact items depend on local suppliers. Use gravel and stone for driveways, drainage, and paths; sand and dirt for leveling, bases, and grading; mulch and topsoil for planting beds and landscaping. If you are unsure which material suits your project, use the material quiz or contact our team for guidance.

Bulk materials are sold by cubic yard or by ton depending on the material and supplier; both are common. To estimate, measure the area (square feet), multiply by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; for tons, check the material conversion on the product page or use our calculator. As a rule of thumb, order 5-10% extra to account for compaction and grading.

For large areas like 1/4 to 1/2 acre, bulk delivery is typically cheaper per cubic yard than buying the same material in bags, once you factor in delivery and labor. Bagged materials may make sense for small jobs or limited access where trucks cannot unload. Compare the total delivered cost and the convenience of jobsite handling before deciding.

Budget depends on driveway width, depth, and material choice; a 20-foot long driveway could vary widely in cost. Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth, convert to tons or cubic yards to estimate material cost, then add delivery and any spreading or compaction labor. For accurate budgeting, get a quote that includes material type, delivery, and any optional spreading services.

Coverage varies by material density, but as a general guide 1 ton typically covers about 100 sq ft at 2" depth, about 65 sq ft at 3" depth, and about 50 sq ft at 4" depth. For example, a 20-ft by 10-ft driveway is 200 sq ft; at 3" you would need roughly 3 tons, at 2" about 2 tons, and at 4" about 4 tons. Always check the product page for the specific conversion and order a bit extra to allow for grading.

Spring and fall are the most common times for mulch delivery because soil and planting schedules align with plant health and cooler weather reduces stress. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries on frozen ground or during prolonged wet periods that can make access difficult and compact soils. Check local weather and plan deliveries on dry days when trucks can safely access the site.

Most orders are placed and paid online with major credit cards, PayPal, or Apple Pay; some jobs may require full payment at checkout while others accept payment at delivery depending on supplier terms. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing before purchase, and any additional fees (next-day delivery, spreading) are listed during checkout. If you need to change an order, contact customer service as soon as possible to discuss options.

For DIY projects the material itself often makes up the largest share of the cost, while for full installations labor (grading, base prep, spreading, and compaction) can be the biggest expense. Delivery is usually a smaller portion of the total, though long haul distances or rush service can increase that share. Budget for both materials and the time or contractor costs required to prepare and finish the site.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth you need, then use the formula: area x depth / 27 to get cubic yards. Hello Gravel offers an online material calculator and aggregate quiz to help pick the right product and quantity, and our team can review measurements if you need help. Round up 5-10% to allow for compaction and grading.

Natural materials reflect local geology, so color and texture may vary; if you have concerns contact customer service promptly and provide photos if possible. To change an order, reach out as soon as you can—changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched but not always possible. For delivery issues or quality concerns we will work with you and the local supplier to find a satisfactory solution.

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.
