Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Lexington, OR

Homeowners in Lexingon commonly order mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for projects. These materials cover uses like base layers, drainage, top dressing, and planting beds; the exact product you choose depends on load, drainage needs, and appearance preferences. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so ask for local samples or photos if color matters.

Pick a material based on function: well-draining, angular aggregates are best for drainage and erosion control, while denser mixes work better under driveways. Consider layering (a coarse drainage layer under a finer top layer) and using a geotextile to separate soil from aggregates. If you are unsure, describe the project and traffic load to our team for guidance.

A good rule of thumb is to calculate area times depth and convert to tons; roughly 1 cubic yard equals about 1.2–1.5 tons depending on the material. For example, a 10 ft by 20 ft area at 3 inches deep is about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.5–3 tons). Use our online material calculator or contact sales with your dimensions for a quick estimate.

Because West Oregon has wet winters, homeowners in Lexington typically schedule major grading, spreading, or paving work from late spring through early fall when the ground is drier and trucks can access sites easily. Avoid heavy earthwork during the wettest months to reduce compaction and rutting. Smaller projects can often be completed year-round with proper planning and access.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle), and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout. Keep in mind lead time can increase during busy season or for remote locations.

Expect trucks to need clear access, a firm turnaround area, and a stable surface to dump safely; narrow roads, low-hanging wires, and soft shoulders can restrict where trucks can deliver. Let us know gate codes, exact drop location, and any obstacles when ordering so suppliers can plan. If the truck cannot safely reach the preferred spot, materials may be dumped at the most accessible location and moved by you or a contractor.

Prices and availability vary with distance from local quarries, seasonal demand, and truck travel time; rural deliveries often carry higher logistics costs than urban areas. Regional sourcing means some materials are more common and less expensive nearby, while specialty colors or blends may take longer to source. We recommend requesting a quote for your zip code to see current options and pricing.

Permitting depends on the scope and location of your project; driveway tie-ins, work in public right-of-way, or substantial grading may require city or county approval. Check with Lexington city offices or Morrow County public works for local regulations and road-use rules before scheduling deliveries near public roads. If in doubt, we can help you identify the right local contacts to confirm permit needs.

Most aggregate surfaces need periodic regrading, topping up, and occasional compaction, especially after wet winters that cause washouts or settling. Expect pathways and driveways to need light maintenance every 1–5 years depending on use and drainage; proper edge restraint and initial compaction reduce future work. For planted areas, mix quality topsoil with amendments and monitor settling in the first season.

Local contractors often use well-graded aggregates and drainage rock combined with geotextile fabric, catch basins, and swales to manage runoff in West Oregon's wet season. Sloped sites typically need a combination of stabilization (retaining or terracing) and materials that allow water to move through while resisting erosion. Tell your contractor the expected flow and soil type so they can design the right combination.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier to accommodate before material is dispatched. Once a truck is scheduled or materials are processed, modifications may be limited and could incur fees. Our team will explain options based on the order status.

Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color will vary from online photos; if the delivered material differs noticeably from your expectations, contact customer service promptly. We will work with the supplier to resolve concerns and review next steps according to our issue-resolution process. For projects where appearance is critical, ask for local photos or samples before ordering.
