Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Spencer, IN

Prices vary by material, local quarry supply, and trucking distance, but expect a rough range of $15 to $75 per ton or $25 to $100 per cubic yard for common landscaping and driveway materials. Basic fill and screened dirt usually sit at the lower end, while processed aggregates and decorative stone are at the higher end. Final price depends on local availability and delivery distance, so check your zip code for exact quotes.

Hello Gravel generally has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery of 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery uses tri-axle dump trucks, so plan for adequate turnaround space and about 12-15 feet of clear width and typical driveway weight limits; narrow roads, low-hanging wires, or soft ground can affect access. Additional fees may apply for long drives, tight access, or off-road unloading; tell us about site conditions when you order.

In Spencer's seasonal climate, materials that drain well and compact reliably tend to perform best. Well-graded aggregates and properly installed base layers reduce frost heave on driveways and paths, while loose top layers and good drainage help beds and drainage areas shed water. Consider site slope, existing drainage, and whether you need a material that compacts firmly or stays loose when choosing between options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone.

Spring through fall is generally the best window for deliveries and installation in Spencer, when the ground is less likely to be frozen or waterlogged. Summer and early fall often offer the most predictable conditions, but local rains can still cause delays. Book early for popular months and allow flexibility in scheduling for weather-related adjustments.

Permit and HOA requirements vary by property. Some county or township rules cover driveway changes, stormwater, and setbacks, and HOAs often have guidelines about visible materials, color, or surfacing. Check with Owen County planning and your HOA before ordering, and contact our team if you need help identifying local contacts.

Measure the area in square feet and multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27). To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply by the material's typical density (commonly about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material). Add about 10% to 20% extra for compaction, settling, and waste for most projects; Hello Gravel’s online calculator can help with these conversions.

Maintenance and lifespan depend on the material and the application: loose surface layers usually need regrading and occasional replenishment every 2 to 7 years, while well-compacted base layers can last a decade or more. Regular upkeep like topping up material, controlling weeds, and maintaining drainage extends service life and keeps costs lower over time. Expect maintenance costs to vary by job size and whether you hire a contractor or do the work yourself.

Many local contractors offer bundled services that include delivery coordination, spreading, compaction, and site prep. Labor rates vary by scope, but small landscaping or driveway jobs often fall in a range that can be quoted hourly or as a flat project price; getting multiple quotes helps identify competitive rates. Ask contractors whether their quote includes delivery, equipment, and any permits so you can compare full project costs.

Compare drainage performance, cost, maintenance needs, appearance, and longevity to match the material to your project's purpose and budget. Consider local climate effects like freeze-thaw cycles and rainfall, as well as access for delivery and equipment during installation. Practical factors like slope, nearby vegetation, and desired upkeep should guide your selection more than aesthetics alone.

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.
