Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Bedford, IN

Price depends on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, truck access, and local tipping or hauling fees. Smaller orders and longer hauls raise per-ton or per-yard costs; many suppliers also have minimum orders (our minimum is 3 tons). For an accurate estimate, request a quote for your zip code and project details.

Spring through early fall (roughly April through October) is usually best for delivery and installation because ground is more stable and weather is cooperative. Winter freeze-thaw periods can delay work and increase settlement risk, while shoulder seasons may have longer lead times due to demand. If you need faster service, check next-day availability or schedule outside peak season.

Repeated freeze-thaw can cause shifting, settling, and surface cracking if materials and base layers are not installed properly. Good drainage, proper compaction, and a well-prepared base reduce movement; timing installation for warmer, drier months helps. Plan for occasional maintenance after winter, such as regrading or adding material to low spots.

Local requirements vary, so check with your city or county building department and any HOA or neighborhood covenants before ordering. Common rules cover driveway approaches, curb cuts, drainage and erosion control, and street blocking for deliveries. It is easier to confirm requirements up front than to change an order after materials arrive.

Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-week availability depends on local supplier stock, truck schedules, and weather—peak season and storms can lengthen lead times. Enter your zip code at checkout or contact our team to confirm availability for your address.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth / 27). Convert cubic yards to tons using material-specific density or use our online material calculator for faster results. Typical depths: landscape top layers 2-3 inches, walkways 3-4 inches, driveways and base layers 4-8 inches—adjust for compaction and waste.

Small residential projects like raised garden beds or refreshes often require 1 to 5 cubic yards, while standard driveways and larger landscaping jobs commonly need 5 to 30 cubic yards or more. Our minimum order is 3 tons, so very small volumes may require pairing with other work or ordering the minimum. For precise planning, share project dimensions with our team or use the online calculator.

Clay soils, poor drainage, or low spots can increase the need for sub-base material and drainage solutions to prevent standing water and erosion. Choosing materials that compact well and allowing for geotextile fabric or grading improves long-term performance. If your site has known drainage problems, factor in additional base material and consult a local contractor.

Consider budget, maintenance, drainage needs, and intended use: loose aggregates (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) usually cost less upfront and drain well but need periodic topping and edging; hard surfaces like pavers or concrete offer durability and low maintenance but are more expensive to install. Match the material to traffic levels, aesthetic preferences, and how long you want the surface to last.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. Because spreading depends on site conditions and truck capabilities, it is not guaranteed. Plan to hire a local contractor if you need guaranteed spreading or finished grading.

Ensure truck access by clearing low branches, removing parked cars from the driveway or street where permitted, and providing a clear route for the truck to the dump location. Note soft ground, narrow entrances, overhead wires, or steep grades in your order notes and share photos if possible to avoid delays or extra fees. If street parking or blocking is needed, check local rules and permits first.

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.
