Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Rome City, IN

Choose materials based on use, drainage, and appearance. For structural areas like driveways and grading, select more angular, compactable aggregates; for paths and decorative beds, finer or rounded materials may work better. Due to regional sourcing, gravel, sand, dirt, stone will vary in color and texture, so pick a look that fits your yard and confirm suitability with our team if you have heavy traffic or drainage concerns.

Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling and frost heave if materials or installation lack proper drainage and compaction. Choose well-draining aggregates, build adequate base layers, and use geotextile fabric where needed to reduce movement. For best long-term results, combine correct material selection with good grading and periodic top-ups.

Most homeowners schedule projects from late spring through early fall to avoid frozen ground and wet conditions that slow compaction and spreading. If you need winter work, plan for lower temperatures and possible delays, and discuss timing with your installer and our team to confirm truck access and ground conditions. We recommend booking ahead for busy seasons to secure a preferred delivery date.

Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle), and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed. Check your zip code for availability and select your preferred delivery date at checkout.

Quantity depends on area and desired depth. As general examples: a single-car driveway (about 10' x 50') at 4" depth often needs roughly 6–8 cubic yards (about 8–11 tons depending on material); a 12' x 12' patio base at 4" depth takes about 4–5 cubic yards; a narrow garden path (3' x 30' at 2" depth) needs about 1–2 cubic yards. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (typically 3 tons) and delivers with local contracted dump trucks, often tri-axle trucks for bulk loads. Minimums and truck access needs can vary by supplier and site access, so enter your delivery address at checkout and check Order Notes for any driveway or overhead clearance instructions. If access is limited, our team can suggest smaller loads or alternate drop locations.

Delivery costs vary based on delivery distance, order size, truck access, and scheduling (standard vs next-day). In many areas we offer free or low-cost delivery for typical loads, but small orders, long hauls, or special access requirements may add fees. The best way to see exact costs is to enter your zip code and material choice on our website for an upfront quote.

Local rules can vary; some driveways, curb cuts, or projects near roadways or waterways may require permits or setback compliance. We recommend checking with Rome City or Fulton County planning and public works before ordering to confirm permit needs, driveway standards, and any required inspections. If unsure, our customer team can help point you to local contacts.

Maintenance depends on material and use: driveways and high-traffic areas typically need periodic regrading and top-ups every few years, while decorative beds and paths may only need occasional topping and weed control. Expect more frequent attention in freeze-thaw climates; proper initial installation and drainage reduces maintenance. Keep loose material replenished and compacted as needed to extend service life.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. We will make best efforts to accommodate requests before the order is processed or dispatched, but changes become harder after trucks are assigned. See Order Notes at checkout and reach customer service quickly for the fastest help.

Provide clear directions, preferred drop location, driveway width and overhead clearance, and any gates or obstacles. Note whether you need the truck to avoid grass, landscaping, or septic areas, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (driver will assess on arrival). Clear instructions help drivers place material safely and reduce risk of needing a second trip.

Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and particle shape reflect West Indiana geology and will vary by supplier. This regional sourcing is expected and can be helpful—local aggregates are well suited to local drainage and compaction conditions. If color or texture is important, add preferences in Order Notes and contact our sales team for guidance or samples before ordering.

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.
