Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Scottsville, VA

Bulk material prices vary by type and season, but a common range is about $15 to $55 per ton and $20 to $70 per cubic yard. Heavy, quarried stone and specialty blends are at the higher end; loose fill and common screenings are at the lower end. Local supplier, delivery distance, and truck fees can shift those numbers, so get a quote for an accurate price.

Scottsville sees seasonal rain and occasional freeze-thaw, so drainage and freeze resistance matter. Choose materials and base layers that shed water and resist settling, and allow for frost heave by avoiding very fine fills in frost-prone spots. Proper slope, drainage swales, and a compacted base reduce long-term maintenance in this climate.

Homeowners and contractors commonly choose combinations from the group of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to build stable driveways, permeable patios, and erosion buffers. For driveways they often use a compactable base plus a wearing layer; patios typically need a level base with good drainage; erosion control favors larger, angular material and proper fabric or vegetation. Material choice should match the function, expected traffic, and local slope conditions.

Deliveries are made by dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle), and access issues can affect where the driver can drop material. Expect a minimum order (usually 3 tons), possible weight or road restrictions on narrow or rural lanes, and the need to clear low-hanging wires or parked cars. Provide clear access instructions at checkout and confirm any local restrictions or permits before delivery.

Peak season typically runs from spring through early fall, when landscaping and building projects are most active and deliveries are in high demand. Plan larger projects early in the season or book delivery dates in advance to avoid delays. Winter can still be possible but may have limited availability and weather-related hold-ups.

Permit requirements vary by project size and location; many driveway curb cuts, large grading jobs, or changes to stormwater paths can require county permits, and HOAs may have rules about surface materials and appearance. Check with Albemarle County (or your local jurisdiction) and any HOA before ordering materials to avoid rework or delays. When in doubt, contact our team and local authorities early in planning.

Local soils that retain water, such as clay-rich soils, need a more permeable base and attention to drainage; steeper slopes raise erosion risk and usually require larger, heavier aggregate or engineered solutions. Using geotextile fabric, properly sized material, and terracing or swales helps stabilize slopes and manage runoff. Match material size and compaction approach to the soil type and slope for best results.

Spreading and compaction are often separate services from delivery and depend on the contractor or hauler; drivers can sometimes tailgate spread at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. If you need spreading or compaction, request it when ordering and confirm whether it is included, priced separately, or will be handled by your contractor. Always clarify responsibilities before delivery to avoid surprises.

Natural materials vary by region, so coloration and texture may differ from photos; if you have concerns contact customer service promptly and we will help resolve issues. For order changes, reach out as soon as possible—modifications are easier prior to dispatch but may not always be possible once a truck is scheduled. Review our checkout notes and add special requests early to reduce issues.

Measure the area (length, width, and desired depth) and use the material calculator on our site to convert cubic feet to cubic yards and tons, remembering different materials have different densities. For common projects, allow a little extra for compaction and waste (usually 5% to 10%), and order a bit more for irregular shapes or slopes. If you are unsure, contact our team with your dimensions and project type for a quick estimate.

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.
