Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in New Salisbury, IN

Choose based on function, drainage, and appearance. Consider load (vehicle traffic vs foot traffic), desired look, and local climate; base and surface materials perform differently under freeze-thaw conditions. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator and material descriptions to compare options and pick a mix that balances drainage, compaction, and appearance for your project.

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause shifting, settling, and frost heave if materials or subgrades are not properly prepared. Good drainage, proper compaction, and choosing materials that interlock or drain well reduces damage. Plan for annual maintenance like regrading or top dressing in spring to address small shifts.

Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum orders are generally 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, often tri-axle. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and add notes for the driver.

Calculate the area (length x width) and decide the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: area x depth (ft) / 27. For a quick conversion to tons, many common aggregates are about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, but this varies by material. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Ensure the delivery vehicle can reach the drop zone: clear overhead wires, park cars away from the access route, and confirm gate or driveway widths. Note steep slopes, soft ground, or narrow lanes in Order Notes so the hauler can plan; remote or rural roads may require additional routing time or fees. If the drop location is not directly reachable, plan a short wheelbarrow or equipment run from the truck to the final spot.

Spring through early fall is usually best to avoid frozen ground and heavy rains that complicate compaction and grading. Summer offers more predictable drying but schedule deliveries earlier in the day to avoid heat and afternoon storms. Avoid ordering large projects during freeze-thaw season when the ground is frozen or very wet.

Permit requirements vary by county, township, and any homeowners association; check with your local county highway or planning office before you begin. You may need a permit for driveway changes that affect a public road or require a new culvert. When in doubt, call your local government to confirm rules before ordering materials.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and when it can be done safely; request this service at checkout. This service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and driver policies. Plan for minimal placement assistance and have tools or a crew ready for spreading if needed.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and particle shape can vary between suppliers in the West Indiana region. Expect natural variation in photos versus delivered product and note any color preferences in your Order Notes. If appearance is critical, request a sample or contact our team to learn about regional options.

Contractors add labor, equipment, and hauling costs but bring speed, compaction equipment, and site expertise, which can reduce long-term maintenance. DIY saves on labor but may require renting equipment and more time; factor in the minimum order size, delivery fees, and any equipment rental to compare true costs. For larger projects, contractors often get bulk pricing while DIYers benefit from lower upfront costs for smaller scopes.

Plan slopes so water moves away from foundations and toward appropriate drains; a 1-2% slope is typical for many surfaces. Install or confirm subgrade preparation, use geotextile fabric where needed, and specify proper base depth to avoid settling. If you are unsure, consult a contractor or our sales team for guidance on typical depths and drainage considerations for your project.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
