Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Monroe, IN

Prices vary by material, supplier, and distance, but expect per-ton or per-cubic-yard rates to vary widely; ask for a local quote for exact numbers. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and shows transparent delivery pricing at checkout; free delivery is available in many areas while next-day delivery may carry an extra fee.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders are usually 3 tons due to truck sizing, and same-day delivery is uncommon—contact us early and we will try to accommodate if a local supplier and truck are available.

For most projects, a combination of base and surface materials is used; choose materials based on drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance rather than brand. Consider how the materials (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) compact, drain, and look in your neighborhood, and use a tighter, angular base for load-bearing areas and a smoother top layer for patios and walkways.

Monroe experiences freeze-thaw cycles that can cause frost heave and movement in poorly drained material beds, so good drainage and proper compaction are essential. Choose materials and project details that shed water, avoid trapping moisture, and allow seasonal movement to reduce long-term shifting or settling.

Use these quick rules: one cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth. For common depths: 4 inches of base covers roughly 81 sq ft per cubic yard, 6 inches covers about 54 sq ft, and a 1-2 inch top layer covers about 162-324 sq ft per cubic yard; always round up for compaction and waste and use our material calculator for a precise estimate.

Late spring through early fall (roughly May through October) is the easiest window for outdoor installations due to milder weather and firmer ground. Deliveries are possible year-round, but winter deliveries can be more difficult because of frozen or muddy conditions and may limit spreading and installation work.

Yes, check Monroe city or county building departments and any HOA rules before ordering, especially for large fills, driveway changes, or work near public rights-of-way. Common requirements include erosion control, runoff management, placement limits in easements, and permits for significant grading or fill.

Costs vary by job size, access, and finish quality, but a useful rule of thumb is that installed cost is often 2-4 times the delivered material cost because of labor, equipment, and site prep. For a realistic figure, get local contractor bids and compare the material-only quote from Hello Gravel to a few installation estimates.

With proper drainage and occasional maintenance, base materials can last decades while surface layers may need topping up every 3-10 years depending on traffic and exposure. Routine tasks like regrading low spots, removing vegetation, and replenishing thin top layers will extend the life of any gravel, sand, dirt, stone installation.

Contractors should ensure a clear, level offload area accessible to tri-axle dump trucks, check overhead clearance and weight limits on driveways, and mark utilities before delivery. Provide staging space for trucks to turn and park, notify us of any tight access or special instructions at checkout, and plan for compaction and drainage work after delivery.

Drivers may be able to perform 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 conditions on arrival and follow safety guidelines when deciding whether to spread.

Due to regional sourcing, texture and color can vary; if the delivered material doesn't meet expectations, contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve it. If you need to modify an order, reach out as soon as possible—changes are easier before processing and dispatch but cannot be guaranteed at all times.

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.
