Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in South Shore, KY

Prices vary by material and local supply, but bulk materials in the Kentucky area typically range from about $30 to $80 per ton depending on type, quality, and seasonal demand. Delivery fees, minimum orders, and lead time can affect the final price. Check your zip code (41175) on our site for local pricing and exact quotes.

A standard pickup truck usually carries about 0.5 to 1 ton of loose material, depending on bed size and payload capacity. A typical dump truck load (tri-axle) often holds roughly 8 to 15 tons, with many tri-axles in the 10-12 ton range. Exact capacity depends on material density and the truck used for your delivery.

Coverage depends on material density and the depth you need. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton covers roughly 60 to 100 square feet at a 2-inch depth; deeper depths reduce coverage. Use our material calculator or contact our team to get a coverage estimate tailored to your planned depth and project dimensions.

Two inches is usually too thin for most driveways and may not provide adequate support or drainage for vehicle traffic. For residential driveways, aim for a compacted base of 3 to 6 inches depending on width, soil conditions, and vehicle weight. If you are topping with a finer surface layer, plan a thicker base layer beneath it for long-term performance.

Start by measuring length, width, and desired compacted depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using material density estimates. Multiply the needed tons by local per-ton pricing and add delivery fees and any spreading charges. Our online calculator and sales team can walk you through these steps for a precise quote.

The most cost-effective option is to order local, regionally sourced materials in larger quantities to reduce per-ton pricing and delivery cost. Compare supplier quotes, consolidate orders when possible, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than next-day service to avoid rush fees. Remember to factor in lifecycle costs: cheaper material may require more maintenance over time.

Choose materials based on function: stable, angular materials are best for structural bases and driveways, while finer, softer materials suit top dressing and gardens. Consider drainage, retention, and local climate; materials sourced near South Shore will reflect local geology and performance. Use our aggregate quiz or call our team for recommendations matched to your specific project.

Delivery cost depends on distance, order size, and local trucking rates; many areas qualify for free delivery on qualifying orders but fees may apply. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed.

Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier before your order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Modifications may be limited once a supplier or truck is scheduled, and additional fees could apply for changes made after dispatch. Check your confirmation email for order details and contact info.

Materials in the South Shore area reflect local geology and may vary in color, texture, and particle mix compared with photos. These natural variations are normal and do not necessarily indicate lower quality. If color or texture is important, note preferences in your order notes and ask our team for local product photos or samples when available.

Some drivers can perform basic tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on site access, safety, and the truck crew's capabilities. Request spreading at checkout and be prepared to receive materials in a single dump; dedicated spreading services may require separate contractors. We do not guarantee spreading services as part of standard delivery.

Cost, intended use, and local availability drive the choice: recycled materials can be less expensive and sustainable, while virgin materials may provide more consistent sizing and performance. Consider project needs like load-bearing capacity, drainage, and appearance when choosing. Our team can help compare options for your budget and intended use.

Wet seasons can make deliveries slower and materials heavier due to moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles can affect compaction and drainage after installation. Plan projects in drier months when possible, and allow for extra time during wet or cold periods. Choose materials suited to local climate conditions to minimize maintenance.

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.
