Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Old Milan, IN

Choose materials based on traffic, drainage, budget, and maintenance needs rather than a single option. Well-draining, compactable aggregates typically perform better in West Indiana; proper base preparation, edge restraints, and compaction are equally important for longevity. Discuss your expected vehicle use and local slope with our team to pick the right mix of gravel, sand, dirt, or stone.

Delivery cost varies by volume, distance from the supplier, material type, and any access challenges at the drop site. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and many areas qualify for free delivery; you can also get a quote online or by contacting our team. Keep in mind we have a 3-ton minimum and next-day delivery may carry an extra fee.

Materials that drain well and resist frost heave are best in a freeze-thaw environment: open-graded or coarser aggregates tend to shed water and reduce movement. Equally important are proper grading, drainage, and compaction to limit freeze-thaw damage. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so plan for local material characteristics when designing your project.

Spring through early fall is usually the easiest time for most landscaping and driveway projects because the ground is drier and temperatures are milder. Deliveries are available year-round, but winter freeze-thaw, heavy rains, or saturated ground can delay installation and affect material performance. Schedule ahead of your preferred start date and use our delivery calendar to pick a suitable window.

Most local suppliers deliver to rural addresses in and around Old Milan, but access limitations can affect where and how much can be dropped. Drivers use tri-axle dump trucks; narrow lanes, low-hanging wires, steep grades, and soft ground may limit safe dumping. Add access notes at checkout or contact our team so we can coordinate with the hauler before dispatch.

Measure the length and width to get square feet, choose the desired depth in inches, then use a material calculator to convert to tons or cubic yards. A common quick formula is: (area in ft2 x depth in inches) / 324 ≈ tons, or use our online calculator for more accuracy. Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste, and contact our team if you want help with the math.

Cost-effective drainage usually combines well-draining aggregates with proper grading, catch basins, and geotextile where needed. Open-graded mixes placed with a slight slope and paired with buried perforated pipe often provide reliable, low-maintenance results. Consider long-term access for maintenance and local rainfall patterns when choosing materials and layout.

DIY is possible for small driveways or experienced homeowners with the right tools and know-how, especially for material handling and compaction. For larger projects, steep sites, or where permits and grading are required, hiring a contractor is often faster and reduces risk. Hello Gravel can deliver materials to either homeowners or contractors and our team can advise on typical project requirements.

Neither is universally better; the right choice depends on the use. Finer materials like sand settle smoothly and work well under pavers, while coarser aggregates provide better drainage and are more stable for walkways and driveways. Match the material to expected foot or vehicle traffic, local drainage needs, and the look you want, and we can help you pick the appropriate option.

Local permits may be required for new driveways, curb cuts, or certain grading and drainage work, and homeowners associations may have additional rules. Truck access or street closures sometimes need coordination with local authorities, especially for large deliveries. Check Old Milan or Ripley County permitting requirements before starting, and let our team know if you need delivery notes to help comply with local rules.

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.
