Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in New Carlisle, IN

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days from order, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Actual timing depends on supplier and truck availability, weather, and local demand, so it is best to check available dates at checkout and order early for weekend or seasonal jobs.

Choose materials with good drainage and interlock when compacted, since freeze-thaw cycles need a stable base and easy water shedding. Well-graded, compactable aggregates typically perform better for structural layers, while coarser top layers help shed water; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so pick a profile that balances stability and drainage for your project.

Pricing and delivery costs depend on distance from the supplier, order size, truck access and load restrictions, current supplier inventory, and seasonal demand. Weather, time of day, special delivery needs (tight access or long driveway pulls), and any requested services like spreading can also increase costs.

Spring through fall is the most convenient window because ground is easier to work and access is typically better, but deliveries are possible year-round with planning. Avoid scheduling right after heavy rains or during freezing conditions if you need spreading or on-site work, and allow extra lead time in busy seasons.

Many suppliers deliver to residential addresses, but access is the limiting factor: large dump trucks need turning radius, stable ground, and clearance from low wires or trees. Provide photos and detailed access notes at checkout, and request tailgate spreading if needed; drivers will assess safety on arrival and may decline complex access situations.

Local rules may apply to driveway construction, stormwater management, and grading, and homeowner associations may have color or material restrictions. Before ordering, check with New Carlisle city offices or St. Joseph County planning/zoning and your HOA to confirm any permits or specifications that could influence material selection.

Delivery cost differences are mainly driven by weight and handling needs; heavier materials can reduce truck volume per ton and may affect pricing, while lighter materials may require larger volumes. Installation costs vary with labor for spreading and compaction, with finer materials often needing more effort to grade and seed, so consider both delivery and onsite labor when budgeting.

Plan grade changes to move water away from structures, add swales or outlet drains where needed, and choose materials that balance permeability and stability so water can pass without washing the base away. Consider geotextile fabrics, edging, small retaining elements, and vegetation to stabilize slopes, and factor in seasonal runoff from freeze-thaw cycles.

Measure the area length, width, and depth in feet to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using a material-specific density or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick estimate. Our minimum order is 3 tons; for unusual shapes or deeper fills, contact our team for a more precise recommendation.

You will receive delivery options at checkout and a confirmation; drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks and will look for the safest drop location, so clear access and remove vehicles or obstacles before arrival. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, so request it at checkout and inspect the load on arrival, reporting any issues to customer service promptly.

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.
