Start by identifying the project's purpose—drainage, load-bearing, decorative, or fill—and pick materials that match that need. Consider particle size, compaction ability, and local climate effects; for example, materials that drain well are better for wet areas. When in doubt, consult our quiz or call our experts for tailored guidance.

Quantity depends on area and depth: for example, a 10x10 ft area at 2 in depth needs about 0.6 cubic yards, while a 10x20 ft driveway at 4 in depth needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards.

Yes. Winter conditions like frozen ground, heavy snow, or ice can limit site access, make spreading unsafe, or change delivery timing. We recommend scheduling ahead in colder months and noting that drivers will assess conditions on arrival; next-day options may be limited during extreme weather. Contact customer service if you have time-sensitive winter work.

Local rules vary by township and county in Ohio, so some driveway modifications, curb cuts, or very large deliveries may require permits. Check with Gratis township or Miami County offices for local regulations before starting work, and let us know if permits are required so we can coordinate delivery timing. We can also provide documentation about the delivery if your local office requests it.

Typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need a clear approach, turning room, and overhead clearance; a minimum of 10-14 feet of width and firm ground is often recommended. Clear vegetation, mark utility lines, choose a drop location, and protect lawn or paving if possible. If access is tight, provide explicit instructions in Order Notes so the hauler can plan an alternate drop spot.

Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Delivery timing depends on supplier availability and local trucking schedules, so you will receive a delivery window and confirmation once your order is scheduled. Please contact our team promptly if you need to change the delivery date.

Many suppliers serve a local radius around their hub, commonly within about 20-50 miles, but exact ranges vary by material and supplier. Because Gratis is smaller, some materials may come from nearby towns; check your zip code on our site to see available suppliers and delivery options. If you have a remote site, we can confirm trucking availability before you place the order.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if site conditions allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival; it may be declined if access, slope, or safety are concerns. For larger or precise spreading and compaction needs, consider hiring a local contractor.
