Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Triangle, VA

For driveways in Triangle you typically choose materials based on load, drainage, and desired appearance. Well-draining, compactable aggregates are often recommended for vehicle use, while finer mixes can be better for walking areas. Consider slope, budget, and how much maintenance you want; our material calculator can help estimate quantities and options.

Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist freeze-thaw heaving, such as well-graded aggregates over a compacted base and proper slope away from structures. Regional sourcing means texture and composition vary, so pick materials known locally for stability and talk to our team about local performance. Adding geotextile fabric or a stable subbase can improve long-term performance in wet or freezing conditions.

Quantities depend on area and depth, but typical small projects start at around 3 to 5 tons, while a standard single-car driveway resurfacing often ranges from 10 to 40 tons. Patios and walkways frequently require 1 to 5 tons depending on thickness, and raised beds are measured by cubic yards — use our material calculator for exact amounts. We recommend ordering a little extra to account for compaction and grading.

Spring through early fall is ideal for most material delivery and installation because soils are drier and crews have fewer weather delays. Deliveries are still possible year-round in Virginia, but wet or frozen ground can slow installation, increase mess, and affect compaction. Schedule early and check availability; standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.

Yes, our local supplier network serves Triangle and nearby areas — confirm service by entering your zip code at checkout. Delivery fees vary by distance, site access, load size, and local supplier policies; many areas offer free delivery depending on the order. Minimum orders generally start at 3 tons, and additional fees may apply for tight access, long offloads, or short-notice scheduling.

Materials are typically delivered by dump trucks (often tri-axle) with standard delivery available in 2+ business days and a next-day option for qualifying orders. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely; you can request this at checkout but there are no guarantees. Provide clear delivery site instructions and note any access limitations to avoid delays or extra fees.

Some projects may require permits or approvals from your city, county, or homeowners association, especially if you alter drainage, install curbing, or change impervious surface area. Check local regulations and any HOA rules before ordering to avoid removal or rework later. If you are unsure, contact your municipal planning or public works office for guidance.

Maintenance varies: some aggregates settle and may need periodic top-ups, while more stable mixes hold their shape longer but still benefit from occasional regrading and compaction. Materials used for high-traffic driveways will generally require more upkeep than decorative pathways or garden use. Consider long-term maintenance cost and the level of appearance you want when choosing a material.

Match the material to the project's purpose: choose stable, compacting mixes for drive surfaces, free-draining mixes for drainage projects, and lighter, finer materials for planting beds or mulched areas. Think about load, drainage needs, aesthetics, and maintenance — and ask our team or use the aggregate quiz for guidance. Local climate and soil also influence the best choice, so factor in how materials perform in Triangle's conditions.

Clear the intended offload area of vehicles, lawn furniture, and debris and identify a flat, accessible spot that can support a heavy dump truck. Note overhead wires, narrow gates, or soft ground in Order Notes and make sure you can receive the delivery or authorize a placement location. If special access or permits are required, arrange those ahead of delivery to avoid delays or additional charges.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
