Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Middlebury, IN

Customers in Middlebury typically order a range of bulk materials including gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulch for landscaping, driveways, and construction bases. These materials are offered in different sizes and blends, so pick the style that matches your project’s need for stability, drainage, or finish appearance. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so check product notes or request photos when possible.

Choose a material based on function: stable, angular mixes for driveways and base work; freer-draining mixes for drainage projects; and finer materials for leveling or planting beds. Consider traffic load, desired appearance, and whether you need compaction or a permeable surface. If you’re unsure, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation.

Middlebury’s freeze-thaw cycles and winter snow mean you should avoid major installations during deep freezes or when ground is saturated, because compaction and drainage performance suffer. Schedule deliveries and installation in spring through early fall when possible, and choose materials that tolerate freeze-thaw (well-draining mixes for areas that must shed water). For winter projects, pick materials and methods contractors use for cold-weather work and expect potential delivery delays.

Typical orders vary by project: small garden beds or pathways often use 1–3 tons, single-car driveways 5–12 tons, two-car driveways 12–25 tons, and larger yard or commercial projects may require 50+ tons. These are rough estimates—final amounts depend on depth, existing soil, and compaction. Use the online material calculator or provide project dimensions to get a more accurate quantity.

Rural deliveries may require extra planning: confirm truck access, gate widths, overhead branches, and stable ground for dump trucks to turn and dump. Drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks and may not be able to deliver on soft or narrow drives, so identify an accessible drop zone and note any obstacles at checkout. Additional fees or special equipment may be required for remote or restricted-access locations.

Standard deliveries are scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. The minimum order size is 3 tons and materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle). Tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.

Delivery and material costs vary by material type, quantity, and exact location; many local residential deliveries may qualify for free or low-fee delivery, while rural or large commercial drops can incur higher charges. As a general guide, small residential deliveries often fall in a modest fee range and larger or remote deliveries can be several hundred dollars, but exact pricing requires a zip-code quote. Use the online checkout to get a transparent price for your specific address and order size.

Ask about recommended materials for your project, suggested depth and compaction, delivery access and staging area, minimum order size, and any extra delivery fees for rural addresses. Also confirm estimated delivery window, whether tailgate spreading is possible, and how the supplier handles material variations or issues. If your site is HOA- or town-regulated, ask about permits or local restrictions before ordering.

Permit and HOA rules vary—some town or county roads may have temporary weight or oversize limits, and certain HOAs can set rules about deliveries, storage, or finished surfaces. Always check with Middlebury town offices, Elkhart County, and your HOA before scheduling large deliveries or staging stockpiles. If in doubt, contact our team for guidance so we can note concerns on your delivery order.

Contractors build a proper base by removing unsuitable soils, installing a compacted subbase in layers, and using mechanical compactors to reach target density; they grade surfaces with a slight slope to shed water. For wet or soft sites they may add geotextile fabric or a thicker base layer to improve stability. Discuss your site conditions with your contractor or our team so the correct material and installation method are selected.

Natural materials vary by region, so color, size, and texture may differ from photos; if you have concerns, contact customer service as soon as possible so we can address them. Order changes are easier before the supplier dispatches the truck—call quickly to request modifications, and review our refund and issue resolution guidance for more details. We will work with you and the supplier to find a satisfactory solution.

Prepare a clear, accessible drop zone free of vehicles, toys, and low branches, and mark any underground utilities or irrigation lines so drivers and crews can avoid them. Decide whether material should be left in one pile or spread (request tailgate spreading at checkout) and confirm a safe parking area for the truck. Proper site prep reduces delays and helps ensure materials are placed where you need them.

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.
