Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Orestes, IN

Start by defining use: light foot traffic, cars, or heavy equipment. Consider drainage, desired appearance, and how it performs in Indiana weather; materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone each have different compaction and drainage properties. Measure the area and use our material calculator or contact our sales team to match a material to your load and budget. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request details in Order Notes if appearance matters.

Freeze-thaw cycles and freeze heave can shift loose materials and accelerate rutting if drainage and compaction are poor. Choosing materials that drain well and building a stable base helps reduce winter damage. Plan for extra depth or edge restraint on driveways and paths, and expect some settling after winter; routine regrading or topping up may be needed in spring.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout and will receive a confirmation once a hauler is assigned. Delivery windows are estimates, so allow flexibility for weather or local hauler schedules.

Our minimum order is typically 3 tons. Deliveries are made by dump truck (usually tri-axle), so you need a clear path for the truck to approach and a safe place for offload. Note overhead wires, soft ground, narrow driveways, or steep slopes in Order Notes; the driver will assess site safety on arrival and may refuse unsafe access.

Measure the area (length x width x depth) and convert to cubic yards by dividing cubic feet by 27. Because weight varies by material, use our online material calculator to convert cubic yards to tons or contact our team for help. Always add 5-10% extra for compaction, grading, and waste.

Spring through fall is the easiest time to install materials because ground is firmer and access is better. Winter deliveries are possible but more likely to face delays or restricted offloading due to frozen or muddy ground. Schedule early in the season for spring projects and consider lead time for popular delivery dates.

Orestes and surrounding West Indiana areas often have heavier soils that hold water; materials that improve drainage as a base layer work best in those conditions. A layered approach—proper subgrade, geotextile where needed, and the right top material—reduces maintenance. If you are unsure, provide site details to our sales team for recommendations tailored to your yard and climate.

Price depends on distance from the supplier, quantity ordered, truck type, site access difficulty, and any special services like expedited delivery or spreading. Remote or hard-to-access locations can increase costs. We show transparent pricing at checkout and you can check your zip code to see available suppliers and fees.

Drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and note site conditions that would affect spreading, such as slopes, landscaping, or obstacles. The driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival and decide whether they can perform the service.

Contact our team as soon as possible to request a change or cancellation. Changes are easier to accommodate before the order is assigned to a hauler or dispatched; once dispatched, options may be limited. We will do our best to help but cannot guarantee all changes.

Natural materials vary by region, so color, texture, and particle size may differ from photos. If the material seems significantly different, contact customer service promptly and provide photos and order details so we can review the issue. We will work with you and the supplier to find a satisfactory resolution according to our policies.

Contractors typically recommend fixing the root cause first: improve grading, add proper base layers, and use geotextile fabric where erosion is likely. For surface protection and channeling water, a combination of appropriately sized materials and vegetation or riprap is common. Discuss slope, runoff, and intended use with our team to pick a solution that balances cost, performance, and local conditions.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
