Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Evansville, IN

Homeowners and contractors in Evansville commonly order bulk gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, grading, and garden beds. These materials are used for base layers, drainage, top dressing, and erosion control depending on the project. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so check photos and ask about local characteristics before ordering.

Use a material calculator to convert square feet and depth into cubic yards or tons; our site has a calculator and aggregate quiz to help. A typical guide is to measure area in feet, decide on depth (inches), and convert to cubic yards, then multiply by regional ton-per-cubic-yard rates. If you are unsure, request help from our sales team and include project details and site photos for a more accurate recommendation.

Our minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery windows are scheduled but not guaranteed, and you will receive confirmation with the expected delivery date.

Delivery costs depend on distance from local suppliers, truck access and turnaround time, weight and volume of the load, and any special handling like tight access or long offloads. Some areas may qualify for free delivery while remote or difficult-access sites may incur fees. Seasonal demand and local road restrictions can also change pricing.

Yes. Late spring through early fall is usually the best time for most installations because ground is unfrozen and drainage work is easier after wet winters. Winter deliveries can be limited by frozen or snowy driveways and may require extra handling; heavy summer rains can delay grading and compaction. Schedule larger jobs in advance during peak season to secure materials and trucks.

Evansville sees hot, humid summers and cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles and periodic heavy rain, which can cause settling, erosion, and frost heave over time. Proper base preparation, drainage planning, and compaction reduce long-term movement for driveways and walkways. Choosing the right material depth and periodic maintenance will extend performance under local weather conditions.

Measure driveway width, gate openings, overhead clearances, and slope, and note any soft spots or low-clearance utilities so drivers can plan a safe drop location. Check whether the delivery truck can legally and safely park on your street or if permits are required for curbside drops. Add detailed access notes at checkout and contact our team with photos if you expect tight access or obstacles.

Possibly. Some Evansville neighborhoods, municipalities, or HOAs may require permits for curbside dumping, work in the public right-of-way, or visible stockpiles. Check local city or township rules and your HOA covenants before ordering, and include any permit numbers or restrictions in your order notes so suppliers can plan accordingly.

Longevity varies by use and maintenance: properly compacted base materials for driveways can last many years, while loose top dressings may need replenishing every few seasons. Drainage materials usually remain effective long-term if installed correctly, but organic top layers like mulch or topsoil will decompose faster and need replacement. Regular inspections after heavy rains and seasonal maintenance extend service life.

Contractors should plan for at least several days to a week of lead time during normal seasons, and longer lead times during peak demand or for very large orders. Confirm material availability and truck capacity when scheduling multiple deliveries, and provide exact delivery windows and site access information to avoid delays. For time-sensitive jobs, ask about priority or next-day options when placing your order.

Narrow streets, low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and soft or steep driveways can require alternate drop locations, smaller trucks, or additional handling, which may add time and cost. Contractors should flag preferred routes and any restrictions in their orders so haulers can plan. If public roads are impacted, city rules may require permits or traffic control during deliveries.

Homeowners commonly ask about which material is best for drainage versus compaction, how deep to install layers, required quantities, timing for delivery, and whether drivers can spread material. They also ask about color and texture variations, site access concerns, and post-delivery clean up. Providing project photos, measurements, and intended use will help our team give the most accurate advice and quote.
