Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Fort Branch, IN

Choose materials based on load, drainage, and maintenance needs. Well-graded aggregates provide a stable, compacted base and shed water better than loose fines; softer materials can be fine for light use or decorative areas. Consider the full build-up (subbase, base, and surface) rather than a single product when planning a driveway.

Performance depends more on installation than material name: good drainage, proper slope, and compaction reduce freeze–thaw damage. Coarser, well-draining aggregates and a stable base layer help move water away from the surface, while finer materials can trap moisture. In rainy seasons, add edge restraints and consider geotextile underlayment to limit migration and rutting.

Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards using this formula: (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Because material weights vary, convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific calculator or ask our team for help. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a quote to get a tonnage estimate and ensure you meet the 3-ton minimum order.

Delivery options vary by supplier and truck type. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and typically uses tri-axle dump trucks, which are efficient for common residential projects; some suppliers or local yards may offer smaller loads or bagged material for pickup. If you need a smaller quantity, contact our team to check local availability and any delivery surcharges.

Aim for spring through early fall for most landscaping and paving work to avoid frozen ground and heavy winter precipitation. Schedule delivery at least 2 business days out for standard service, or request next-day delivery before noon CST when available. Always check the local forecast before delivery and allow a day for materials to settle before heavy compaction or installation.

Costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, load size, site access, and seasonal demand. Additional services like tailgate spreading, special placement, or tight access can add fees. For a clear price, get a quote through our site which reflects regional sourcing and any local delivery variables.

Common projects include driveways and parking pads, patios and walkways, drainage swales and French drains, erosion control and slope stabilization, backfill and grading, and landscape beds. Each project has different depth and compaction needs, so pick materials and quantities that match the intended use and expected traffic.

Prioritize materials that promote drainage and resist movement: coarser, angular aggregates in channels and retention areas, and well-graded mixes for stabilizing slopes. Combine materials with proper grading, vegetation, and geotextile fabric where needed to prevent washouts. For persistent runoff issues, consult our team about engineered options and local best practices.

Rules vary by municipality and homeowner association, so check Fort Branch town ordinances and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Regulations can affect driveway width, curb cuts, surface material choices, and stormwater management requirements. If in doubt, contact local code officials or your HOA to confirm restrictions before you buy.

Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and stone composition reflect West Indiana geology and can differ from photos. Availability and pricing can fluctuate seasonally or with quarry production, so plan ahead for large jobs. You can note color or texture preferences at checkout, but expect natural variation.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks; drivers will place material where access allows. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Clear access, mark preferred drop spots in Order Notes, and be present or provide clear instructions to avoid delays.

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.
