Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Memphis, IN

Start by defining the purpose of the material: structural base, surface finish, drainage, or soil fill. Consider site conditions in Memphis (slope, drainage, freeze-thaw exposure) and how the material will be used, then pick a product that balances durability, drainage, and cost. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s aggregate quiz or contact our team for a recommendation that fits both DIY and contractor needs.

Common projects include driveways and driveway repairs, patio bases, grading and soil replacement, drainage swales, garden beds and mulching, and small retaining or path work. Most of these jobs need one or more bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) for base layers, leveling, or surface finish. Hello Gravel can help match the right material to each part of your project.

A typical two-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) usually needs roughly 8–12 cubic yards of base material depending on the depth you want, which often translates to about 10–18 tons depending on material density. A 10 ft by 10 ft patio base at 3–4 inches depth is often around 0.9–1.2 cubic yards. Use our online material calculator for precise quantities based on your exact dimensions and the type of material you choose.

Price depends on the type of material, local availability and quarry sourcing, the amount you order, and the distance from supplier to your delivery address. Seasonal demand, access at the delivery site, and whether any special services (like tailgate spreading) are requested will also affect cost. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and connects you with local suppliers so you can compare options for your zip code.

Standard delivery is scheduled at least 2 business days after ordering, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle), and timing can vary with weather and local demand, especially in spring and fall. We confirm delivery windows and let you pick a preferred date during checkout.

Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety, access, and truck capabilities. You can request spreading in the order notes, and the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival. For precise spreading or finished grading, plan to hire a local contractor or request additional services separately.

Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rain can cause movement, settling, and fines migration in unbound surfaces, so choose materials and compaction depths suited to your use and local climate. For areas prone to frost heave, a stable base with good drainage is crucial, and surface materials that shed water perform better long term. Our team can recommend materials and installation tips that address local West Indiana conditions.

You should check with your local township or county offices about driveway permits, right-of-way limits, and any grading or stormwater rules that could affect material placement. Some projects near roads, waterways, or septic systems have specific setbacks or erosion control requirements. If in doubt, contact your local permitting office before ordering so deliveries aren’t delayed by regulatory issues.

Clear a safe, level drop-off area and make sure trucks have room to turn around and access your site; remove low-hanging branches and obstacles. Mark the preferred drop location with flags or stakes and protect driveways and lawn areas if needed with plywood. Communicate any special access notes or restrictions in the order notes so the hauler can plan accordingly.

Balance cost, expected lifespan, drainage needs, and maintenance effort when selecting materials—cheaper materials may need more upkeep, while higher-performance materials can reduce long-term work. For driveways and drainage areas focus first on a properly constructed base and drainage, then choose a surface material that meets your budget and maintenance comfort. If you need help weighing tradeoffs, our sales team can explain options for common budget ranges in the Memphis area.
