Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bastian, VA

Homeowners in Bastian frequently order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, base layers, garden beds, grading, and basic drainage work. These materials cover most landscaping and small construction needs because they can be used for structural bases, surface finish, and soil amendment. Local suppliers offer regionally sourced options, so texture and color may vary.

Choose materials that promote drainage and resist movement when wet—materials that compact well are better for driving surfaces, while coarser, angular materials shed water and reduce frost heave risk. For slopes or saturated areas, combine good drainage, proper grading, and erosion control measures like geotextile fabric. If unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your exact site conditions.

Typical estimates: a one-car driveway (about 12 ft x 50 ft) at 4 inches depth is roughly 7.5 cubic yards (about 9–10 tons); a 10 ft x 10 ft patio at 4 inches is about 2.5 cubic yards (3–4 tons); a 3 ft x 30 ft walkway at 2 inches is roughly 0.6 cubic yards (under 1 ton). These are starting points—final needs depend on depth, compaction, and base layers, so we recommend using our material calculator or contacting our team for a site-specific estimate.

Late spring through early fall is typically the easiest time for deliveries and installation because ground conditions are more stable and crews are readily available. Deliveries are available year-round, but winter freeze-thaw and muddy conditions can complicate grading, compaction, and truck access. Plan ahead and consider ground condition and weather when booking a delivery date.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier availability. Same-week and next-day options depend on local supplier schedules, truck availability, and site access in your zip code, so check availability during checkout or contact our team for faster service options.

Delivery cost varies by material type, the amount ordered, distance from the supplier, and site access; larger orders often reduce the per-ton delivery cost. In many areas regional sourcing and negotiated rates mean competitive or free delivery for certain orders, but exact charges are shown in your quote at checkout. For a precise estimate, enter your zip code or request a quote through our site.

Materials for slopes and erosion control should emphasize mass and drainage—coarser, heavier materials and larger particle sizes help resist washout, and erosion-control blends or engineered products may be recommended for steep areas. These solutions typically require more material and sometimes specialty products, which raises the project cost compared with standard surfacing materials. Pricing drivers include tonnage, product type, delivery distance, and any handling or placement difficulties.

Local rules vary, so check with your county or town building and zoning department for driveway permits, right-of-way restrictions, and load limits before delivery. Homeowner association rules may also affect material choice, color, and placement. If you’re unsure which authorities to contact, our team can help point you to common local contacts, but you are responsible for obtaining required permits.

Clear a safe drop-off area and route for a dump truck, remove low-hanging branches and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop spot with stakes or flags to guide the driver. Park vehicles away from the work area and ensure any gates are unlocked or someone is on site to direct the driver. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion based on safety and site conditions.

Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may not match photos exactly; if the material differs materially from your order, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a solution. Order changes are easiest before processing and dispatch—call or text our team as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For full details on returns or refunds, see our policies on the website.

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.
