Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Machipongo, VA

Start by matching the material to the job: consider load-bearing needs, drainage, appearance, and how much maintenance you want. In coastal Virginia, choose materials that resist washout and compact well for driveways and paths; use gravel, sand, dirt, stone terminology as a group when comparing options. Use our online calculator and aggregate quiz or contact our team for a quick recommendation based on your project size and soil conditions.

Coastal weather in Machipongo affects timing and performance: avoid heavy grading or delivery during prolonged rainy periods to reduce washout and tracking. Summer and early fall are usually best for heavy deliveries and compaction; winter freeze-thaw can shift material and spring can be wetter. Plan deliveries around local conditions and allow time for proper compaction and settling.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then use our online calculator to convert to tons or cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, common surfaces require 2-6 inches of material depending on use; patios and foundations may need more. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so round up and contact us if you need help with calculations.

We deliver for a wide range of projects including driveways, walkways, patios, erosion control, drainage trenches, garden beds, backfill, and lawn renovation. Our network supports both homeowner DIY jobs and contractor-scale work with scheduled bulk deliveries. If you have a unique application, describe the project at checkout and our team can advise on suitable materials and quantities.

Yes: remote or narrow roads, low-hanging wires, soft shoulders, and tight turns can limit truck access and affect where material can be placed. Make sure to clear a stable drop zone, note property obstacles in Order Notes, and be aware that some locations may incur extra fees or require smaller trucks. Contact our team if you think access could be an issue and we can coordinate with the hauler.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. It is assessed on arrival for safety and feasibility, so spreading is not guaranteed. For precise grading or finish work, plan to hire local labor or a contractor.

Because we source regionally, texture and coloration can vary based on local geology, so materials may not look exactly like online photos.

Driveway modifications, shoreline work, or projects affecting wetlands and public right-of-way in Accomack County or Machipongo may require local permits or approvals and HOA rules may also apply.

Contractors can order online, set up business accounts, and schedule recurring or large deliveries with our sales team to streamline quoting and timing.

Clear obstacles from the drop zone, mark property lines and any underground utilities, and create a stable area for the truck to approach and unload. Protect lawns or driveways if needed and note special delivery instructions in Order Notes. The more details you provide up front, the smoother the delivery will be and the fewer surprises on-site.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easiest to handle before an order is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but ability to change depends on supplier and hauler timing. Review our refund policy for details and reach out promptly for help.
