Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Petersburg, IN

Costs depend on material type, quantity, and distance from local suppliers. Expect pricing to include material, delivery, and any access or offload fees; homeowners often see lower per-ton pricing for larger orders.

Locally sourced aggregates such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are the most common choices because they match regional geology and supply. Contractors tend to pick materials based on load-bearing needs and compaction, while DIY homeowners often choose easier-to-spread options for walkways, patios, and garden beds. If you are unsure, our material quiz and sales team can help match project needs with the right group of materials.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles in this region can cause shifting, settling, or surface raveling if drainage and compaction are inadequate. Selecting materials that compact well and providing a stable base and proper drainage will reduce freezing-related movement. Plan installations outside the worst freeze periods when possible and discuss seasonal considerations with your contractor or supplier.

Coverage varies by supplier and hauler, so check your ZIP code for service availability. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and typical delivery is by tri-axle dump truck; rural deliveries sometimes incur additional fees or longer lead times. Confirm access for large trucks, request delivery notes at checkout, and let the dispatcher know about narrow drives, low branches, or soft ground.

A quick way to estimate is cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324; 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Typical ranges: small patio/walkway 0.5-1.5 cubic yards, 1-car driveway 3-6 cubic yards, 2-car driveway 5-12 cubic yards, and larger yard leveling projects often start around 5-20 cubic yards. Tons vary by material and moisture, so use our material calculator or request a quote for a ton-based estimate.

Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Summer and spring are peak seasons, so expect longer lead times during those months; winter and heavy-rain periods can also affect scheduling. Choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and contact customer service early if you need to change the timing.

Local rules vary: city, county, or HOA restrictions may govern driveway location, width, drainage, and allowable surfacing materials. Before starting work, check with the Petersburg building or planning office and your HOA (if applicable) to learn permit and setback requirements. If you need help, our team can remind you to verify permits when you place an order.

Contractors typically select materials for durability, compaction, and project efficiency, while homeowners often choose simpler materials for DIY tasks like garden beds or small paths. For load-bearing or high-traffic areas, hiring a contractor for proper base preparation and compaction often leads to longer-lasting results. For smaller or decorative projects, material-only delivery and DIY installation are practical when you understand the coverage and depth required.

Supply can fluctuate with seasonal construction demand, weather, and regional quarry output; local sourcing means texture and color also vary. During high-demand periods or after major weather events, lead times and pricing may rise, so ordering earlier helps lock in delivery. If a particular finish or color is important, add a note at checkout and allow extra time for sourcing.

For simple materials-only deliveries, your expense is mainly the material and delivery fee. For full installations, labor, equipment, grading, compaction, and permits often add significantly and in many cases can equal or exceed the material cost depending on project complexity. Ask contractors for itemized bids and compare material-only quotes from Hello Gravel to help budget for both material and installation.

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.
