Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Ferdinand, IN

Start by matching the material to the job: think about drainage needs, load-bearing requirements, and desired appearance. For many projects a mix of options such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone works well depending on whether you need drainage, a stable base, or top dressing. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw cycles in Indiana) and traffic levels, then use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance based on your project size.

Freeze-thaw cycles in Indiana can shift loose materials and expose underlayers if a base wasn’t prepared properly. Choose materials and installation approaches that allow drainage and compaction where needed, and plan heavier work for drier, warmer months when possible. Expect some settling after the first winter and budget for minor top-ups or regrading.

Typical estimates: a 10x10 area with a 2-inch layer needs about 0.9 tons; a 12x24 driveway with a 4-inch base needs roughly 9-11 tons. Project specifics like depth, compaction, and waste affect totals, so use our online calculator or call the sales team with dimensions to get a tailored estimate. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons for delivery.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Make sure trucks can access your drop-off area—clear low branches, ensure a stable approach, and mark buried utilities or delicate landscaping. If you need a specific drop location, add notes at checkout; drivers will do their best but placement is at their discretion.

Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and access on arrival and may decline if conditions are unsuitable. If precise spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor for a dedicated spreading service.

HOA rules or local ordinances can limit visible material colors, particle sizes, or placement near rights-of-way, so check with your HOA or the town before ordering. You should also confirm any driveway or curb-cut permits required for truck access. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can suggest materials and delivery notes that reduce the chance of conflicts.

Common access issues include narrow lanes, low-hanging wires, soft ground, and tight turns. To avoid rehandling or additional charges, ensure the delivery route is clear, provide a parking spot for the truck if possible, and disclose gate codes or height restrictions when ordering. If access is questionable, our team can advise on the best drop point before dispatch.

Contractors typically ask about per-ton pricing, volume discounts, and delivery fees for repeated or large orders. Provide exact project quantities and delivery schedules to get the most accurate quote, and ask about availability in your zip code since regional sourcing affects price. We offer clear pricing and can coordinate regular deliveries through our network of local suppliers.

Spring through early fall is often best for major installs because the ground is more stable and there is less risk of freeze-thaw disruption. For minor top-ups or erosion fixes, late summer or early fall can work well. Avoid scheduling large deliveries during heavy rain or frozen ground to reduce the risk of tracking or poor compaction.

Compare materials by durability, drainage, and maintenance needs rather than brand names. For example, look for options that compact well for driveways, drain well for garden beds, and require minimal topping up for walkways. Ask our team about local performance: regional sourcing means materials reflect Ferdinand's geology and climate, which affects longevity and upkeep.

Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from photos and samples. If you have concerns, contact customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution. See our policy page for details on refunds or replacements, and consider requesting notes about color preference when ordering.

Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate timing or quantity changes, but not all requests can be fulfilled once a supplier or truck is assigned. Check your confirmation email for contact info and order details to speed up the process.

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.
