Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in De Motte, IN

Choose materials based on use and drainage needs. For heavy-traffic driveways pick a stable, compactable base material topped with a durable surface; for patios and walkways use materials that compact well and shed water. Consider local availability in West Indiana since regional sourcing affects texture and color. Always plan for proper drainage and base depth regardless of the material type.

De Motte's freeze-thaw cycles and precipitation can cause shifting, settling, and frost heave if materials are not installed with good drainage and a stable base. Use well-graded, compactable base materials and allow for seasonal settling when estimating quantities. Expect occasional top-up or regrading after winter, especially for loose-surface projects. Choosing materials suited to local climate reduces long-term maintenance.

Deliveries are made by professional dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, so plan a clear route and a drop area that can accommodate large trucks. Narrow drives, low-hanging branches, soft ground, or steep grades may restrict access and could add fees or require offloading alternatives. Provide detailed access notes at checkout and our drivers will assess on arrival, but they may refuse unsafe drops. If access is tight, consider staging material closer or hiring a loader to move material after delivery.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery generally takes 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Regional factors like supplier location and weather can affect timing, so check availability for your zip code. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout.

Delivery costs depend on material type, load size, distance from the supplier, site access, and any additional services like next-day delivery or restricted access fees. Many local orders qualify for free delivery, but long hauls or special handling may incur charges. Materials are priced per ton or cubic yard depending on the product, so compare both quantity and transport when estimating. Contact our team if you need a detailed quote for your specific address.

Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion and can often be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and feasibility on arrival and may decline if conditions or equipment do not allow safe spreading. Plan for the possibility that material will be dumped in piles and that you may need to rake or hire labor to spread it. If spreading is essential, arrange for professional installation or confirm availability in advance.

Use our online material calculator or the aggregate quiz to estimate quantities based on area and desired depth. For loose materials allow extra for compaction and settling—typically a 10-15% overage for heavier compaction projects and more for uneven surfaces. Always measure in feet and specify depth in inches when calculating. If unsure, request help from our sales team to avoid underordering or large excess.

Permit requirements vary by project type and location, so check with the Town of De Motte and Jasper County building or planning departments before starting significant driveway or grading work. Small landscaping changes often do not require permits, but alterations affecting sidewalks, curbs, stormwater, or right-of-way typically do. Confirm utility locations and setback rules as well to avoid rework. When in doubt, contact local authorities or a licensed contractor for guidance.

Contractors usually quote material supply separately from installation; material-only orders cover the product and delivery, while turnkey bids include labor, equipment, site prep, and disposal. Turnkey jobs can cost more overall but reduce hassle and ensure professional compaction and grading, which can save money long-term. Ask contractors for an itemized estimate showing material quantities, labor hours, and equipment charges. If you are buying materials only, factor in additional labor and rental equipment if you are doing the work yourself.

Policies vary by supplier and are governed by your order terms; contact customer service promptly if there are issues. Hello Gravel will work with local suppliers to resolve problems according to our refund and returns procedures, but exchanges or returns for natural materials may be limited. Plan for some excess when ordering so you are not left short, and ask about options for returning unused material before placing large orders. Keep photos and communications handy when reporting delivery or quality concerns.

Rural driveways, long haul distances from suppliers, and limited staging areas can increase delivery and handling costs. Soft shoulders, unpaved roads, and seasonal closures may affect when trucks can safely deliver, so plan deliveries during drier months or when ground is firm. If your site has restricted access consider smaller loads, offsite staging, or using equipment to move material after delivery. Communicate site specifics at checkout to get the most accurate quote and avoid surprises.

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.
