Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Hartford City, IN

Consider load, drainage, appearance, and budget when choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, stone. For driveways prioritize materials that compact well and shed water; for landscaping focus on drainage and plant health. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a ton estimate and recommended depth based on your project.

Because Hartford City sees seasonal rains and freeze-thaw cycles, choose aggregates that promote drainage and resist washing out, combined with appropriate grading and vegetation. A mix of sizes often works well to create stable, permeable surfaces; topsoil or amended dirt is better for planting areas. Always account for local slope and stormwater patterns when selecting materials.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and uses regional suppliers with truck delivery. Standard delivery is scheduled 2+ business days out, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by distance and site access; free delivery is available in many areas but depends on your zip code and supplier.

Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for deliveries and installation, once the ground has thawed and before heavy winter conditions. Avoid scheduling during or immediately after heavy rain or freeze-thaw periods when the ground is wet or frozen. Book delivery in advance for peak seasons to secure preferred dates.

Permits or approvals may be required for large fills, driveway changes, or work in public right-of-way; rules can vary by city, county, or homeowners association. Check with Hartford City building or zoning offices and your county before ordering large volumes. If in doubt, contact our team and we can help you identify common local requirements.

Prices are influenced mainly by regional sourcing, haul distance, and supplier availability, so nearby towns often have similar ranges but can differ by a few dollars per ton. Transportation and access can cause the biggest differences rather than the material itself. We recommend requesting quotes from local suppliers through our site to compare final delivered prices for your zip code.

Ask the supplier or hauler about recommended install depth, compaction rates, whether the material is screened or contains fines, and how it performs under heavy loads or drainage needs. Also ask whether the supplier offers compaction or if you should hire a contractor, and about any seasonal limitations for installation. Clear answers will help you plan grading, base layers, and expected settlement.

Many local contractors in the Hartford City area offer both material supply and installation, but availability varies by project size and season. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and can often share contractor referrals; you can also order materials directly and hire a separate installer. Confirm responsibilities, timelines, and insurance before hiring anyone to install materials.

Common trade-offs include upfront cost versus longevity, drainage versus compaction, and appearance versus maintenance needs. A cheaper material may require more maintenance or deeper replacement later, while a more expensive, well-graded aggregate can reduce long-term upkeep. Match the material choice to anticipated use, budget, and how much maintenance you are willing to perform.

Ensure clear truck access, remove low-hanging branches, and mark the preferred drop zone so drivers can place material where you want it. Confirm any driveway width or weight limits with your local jurisdiction, and let us know special instructions at checkout. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but understand drivers may only do it at their discretion for safety reasons.

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.
