Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Augusta / New Augusta, IN

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our service area usually carries about 8 to 12 tons, depending on the material's density. In volume, that is roughly 8 to 12 cubic yards, but weights vary between gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, so for small jobs you may order less than a full truck. Contact our team if you need an exact estimate for your specific material and project.

For most projects larger than a few cubic yards, bulk delivery is more cost-effective than buying bagged materials because you pay by the ton or cubic yard instead of per bag. Bagged products are convenient for very small jobs or when you need easy storage and transport. Consider handling, storage space, and disposal of bags when comparing costs.

Start by defining the purpose: structural fill for grading or raising ground should be a compactable material, while planting beds need top dressing or topsoil for nutrients and plant health, and drainage zones require free-draining material. Many projects use a mix of materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—so think about compaction, drainage, and plant requirements. If you are unsure, our team can help match materials to the intended use and local soil conditions in Augusta / New Augusta.

Depth depends on the material and the job: mulch and organic top dressings are commonly applied 2 to 4 inches for weed suppression and moisture retention, while topsoil for planting trees or new lawn is usually 4 to 6 inches. Aggregate layers for paths or driveways often start at 4 inches compacted and may require thicker bases for vehicle traffic. Always avoid piling materials against tree trunks and adjust depth for slope and drainage needs.

Delivery costs depend on your location, material type, and order size; many areas qualify for free delivery but fees can apply for longer hauls or small orders. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout and our team will confirm scheduling and any delivery charges.

Small, shallow depressions can often be repaired with compactable fill material and proper compaction, but deeper or active sinkholes are a structural and safety concern. For anything more than a cosmetic repair, we recommend contacting a geotechnical or foundation professional before ordering materials. Our team can supply suitable compactable aggregates for restoration work once a repair plan is in place.

Because we source materials locally, color, texture, and composition can vary with regional geology—this is normal for natural aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulch. Product photos are representative; if color or texture is critical, note preferences in your order and contact customer service before delivery. If you have concerns after delivery, reach out promptly so we can work toward a resolution.

Some drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and local regulations. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess upon arrival whether it can be done safely. For precise spreading needs, consider hiring a landscaper or contractor who can provide a guaranteed spreading service.

Contact our customer support as soon as possible—changes are easiest to accommodate before a supplier is dispatched or the order is processed. We will do our best to modify orders, but changes are not guaranteed once materials are loaded or a truck is assigned. Check the order confirmation for next steps and call our team for urgent requests.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; convert to tons using the material’s approximate density if needed. Our online material calculator and aggregate quiz can estimate quantities for common projects using typical densities for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulch. If you prefer, provide measurements to our team and we will calculate a recommended order size.
