Local homeowners often search phrases like "bulk gravel delivery near Markle", "driveway stone delivery 46770", "buy sand and dirt near me", "landscaping gravel delivery Huntington County", and "bulk aggregate delivery Markle IN".

Choose based on the project need: drainage and base layers usually prefer coarser aggregates, while top dressing or plant beds may use finer sand or screened dirt. Consider load-bearing needs, desired appearance, maintenance, and local climate (freeze-thaw and drainage). If unsure, request samples or contact our team for guidance tailored to your project.

Calculate area (square feet) times depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then convert to tons using a rough factor (most aggregates fall between about 1.2 and 1.6 tons per cubic yard). For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3 inches depth is about 9.3 cubic yards, roughly 13 tons. Use our online calculator or contact us for help estimating quantities for your specific project.

Prices vary by material type, delivery distance, truck size, seasonal demand, and site access. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; quotes are provided per ton or per cubic yard depending on material. For an accurate price, request a quote with your zip code, delivery address, and desired delivery date.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, and standard delivery takes 2 or more business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers will assess access on arrival; tight driveways, low-hanging wires, or steep grades can affect where material is offloaded, so note access details in Order Notes.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility when they arrive. For controlled spreading or fine grading, consider hiring a local contractor.

Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain, saturated ground, or freeze-thaw periods to reduce tracking and compaction problems. In Markle and West Indiana, spring thaw and heavy seasonal rains can make sites muddy, so aim for dry weather windows when possible. If you must deliver in wet conditions, plan for erosion control and extra compaction steps.

Yes. Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles and rainfall mean you should prioritize good drainage and stable base materials for driveways and high-traffic areas to reduce frost heave and erosion. For planting beds and topsoil work, choose material that retains moisture yet drains well for your plants. Local suppliers provide regionally sourced materials that reflect local geology and performance characteristics.

Permit and HOA rules vary by municipality and neighborhood. Check with Markle town offices, Huntington County, and any HOA before changing driveway surfaces or altering drainage. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but does not handle permits or installations, so confirm local regulations before ordering.

Yes, many suppliers in the region offer locally sourced aggregates as well as recycled materials or clean fill, but availability varies by supplier and season. Recycled products can be cost-effective and sustainable for certain projects, while clean fill requirements may apply near foundations or regulated areas. Ask for material descriptions and any applicable testing or documentation when you request a quote.

Hello Gravel manages ordering and delivery of bulk materials but does not perform installation. We connect you with local suppliers and professional haulers; for installation or spreading beyond what a driver can safely do, we recommend hiring a local contractor. We can help you find partners or provide guidance on what to ask a contractor.

Contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed or dispatched. We'll do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications are not guaranteed once materials are in transit. See order confirmation for specific timelines and contact details.

Expect a large dump truck to arrive during your scheduled window; drivers will follow delivery instructions in your order notes and assess the safest offload spot on arrival. Keep pets and people clear of the drop zone and confirm any special access instructions with the driver or our team ahead of time. Be prepared for some material spread and driveway disturbance, and consider extra cleanup or grading after unloading.

Compare materials by intended use: heavy-traffic or structural bases need harder, angular aggregates while decorative surfaces may prioritize appearance and low maintenance. Consider lifecycle costs: cheaper materials may require more frequent replenishing, while higher-quality base materials reduce long-term maintenance. If cost, durability, or appearance is a priority, we can help you weigh trade-offs based on your specific project.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
