Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Patoka, IN

Start by matching the material's function to your project: stability and load-bearing for driveways, smooth compaction for patios, and permeability for drainage. In Patoka's climate, pick materials that resist frost heave and shed water well. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for recommendations based on local conditions.

Look for materials with good drainage and angular particles that lock together to resist movement during freeze-thaw cycles. Avoid fine, clay-heavy mixes that hold water and freeze. Regional sourcing means local mixes reflect nearby geology, so ask about winter performance when ordering.

Estimate by calculating area and desired depth: multiply square feet by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards, and convert to tons using the material's typical density. Hello Gravel's calculator and sales team can help with specific conversions and recommendations for typical depths for driveways, paths, and beds.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders usually start around 3 tons and deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets, so exact timing depends on supplier availability and local access. Confirm your zip code at checkout for local availability and any delivery fees.

No, natural materials vary by region, so texture and color may differ from photos. Patoka materials reflect local geology and seasonal stock, so small differences are normal. You can add color preferences in Order Notes, and our team can advise on likely variations before you order.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. For guaranteed spreading or large projects, consider hiring a contractor or requesting additional site services separately.

Many small projects do not require permits, but changes to curb cuts, drainage patterns, or significant driveway alterations may need local permits or HOA approval. Check with Patoka town offices or your HOA before ordering large amounts, and plan extra time for approvals if needed. Hello Gravel can advise on delivery logistics but not on permit decisions.

Final cost depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, truck access, and scheduling speed (standard vs next-day). Some areas may qualify for free delivery while others have a fee due to distance or difficult access. Get an online quote to see exact pricing for your zip code and project size.

DIY is feasible for small jobs if you have basic tools and know proper depths, slope, and compaction techniques. Contractors are recommended for larger driveways, precise grading, or where equipment (compactors, skid steers) is needed. Compare labor cost versus time and equipment rental when deciding.

Truck access, overhead obstacles, narrow drives, and muddy or frozen ground can complicate deliveries. Leave clear instructions in Order Notes, mark the drop spot, and clear any obstacles before the truck arrives. If access is limited, plan for offloading farther from the site and moving material by wheelbarrow or small machinery.

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.
