Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Ashley, IN

Homeowners and contractors in Ashley commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, landscaping beds, drainage projects, and erosion control. These materials are versatile and are chosen based on drainage needs, compaction requirements, and the desired finished look. Local suppliers mean material texture and color can vary by region.

Choose materials by asking what you need most: drainage, compaction, appearance, or low maintenance. For good drainage pick coarser, free-draining mixes; for a smooth walking surface choose finer, compactable materials; for visual impact focus on color and size. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance.

Ashley experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that can shift and settle loose materials over time if they are not compacted or drained properly. Materials that shed water and allow proper subbase drainage perform better in spring thaw periods. Plan for edging and adequate depth to limit movement and schedule work during milder months when possible.

The best months in Ashley are generally spring through early fall (April through October) when ground is not frozen and weather is more predictable. Winter deliveries can still happen but may be delayed by frozen ground or snow and ice. Order early in the season for the best scheduling options and to avoid peak demand.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, load size, and truck access; many orders have low or no delivery fee while remote or large loads can incur higher charges. You will see transparent pricing at checkout for your zip code.

Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324 to estimate quantities, then adjust for slope or compaction. For example, a 1,000 sq ft area at 2 inches depth needs about 6.2 cubic yards. Remember that cubic yards convert to tons differently by material; a rough conversion range is 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material.

Many local suppliers focus on drop-and-leave delivery, but some drivers or contractor partners may offer tailgate spreading or additional installation services. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. For full installation, ask our team to connect you with local installers or contractors in the area.

Regulations vary by municipality and neighborhood, so check Ashley city codes, county requirements, and any homeowners association rules before starting work. Simple landscaping and on-property driveway resurfacing often do not require permits, but changes to drainage, curb cuts, or alterations to public right-of-way may. Contact local authorities if you are unsure and we can help point you to local contacts.

Prices depend on material type, local availability, and delivery distance; typical ranges for bulk aggregates in the region can vary from lower-cost base materials to higher-cost decorative options. Expect a broad market range and see precise, upfront pricing for your zip code at checkout. If cost is a priority, ask our team about regional alternatives that meet performance needs at lower price points.

Compare drainage performance, compaction needs, appearance, maintenance, and budget when choosing materials. Also consider the project's purpose (load-bearing driveway vs. decorative bed), local climate effects, and how often you'll need to regrade or top up material. When in doubt, use our material calculator and consult with our sales team to match the right aggregate to your specific project.

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.
