Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Vernon, IN

Order online and pick your delivery date; we connect you with a local supplier and contracted dump truck hauler. Typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks and require a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery takes 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and the driver will confirm placement and safety on arrival.

Truck capacity varies by truck type, but a typical tri-axle dump truck used in Vernon will carry roughly 10-14 tons of loose material. Your actual load can change based on material density (gravel, sand, dirt, stone) and local weight limits, so check with our team if you need a precise truckload estimate.

Use our material calculator or measure the length, width, and desired depth of your area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material density guidance. As a quick rule of thumb, one ton of many aggregates covers about 80-100 sq ft at 1 inch depth, but regional variations apply, so use our calculator or contact our team for a verified estimate.

Two inches may be sufficient for a light-use path or a decorative top layer, but it is generally not recommended for an entire driveway. For driveways you typically need a compacted base layer (4-6 inches) of coarser material plus a 2-4 inch top layer; heavier vehicles or poor soils usually require thicker sections.

You can, but preparing the base will improve longevity: remove topsoil, grade and compact the subgrade, and consider a geotextile fabric and a base layer of coarser material to reduce settling and weed growth. Proper preparation helps drainage and reduces future maintenance.

One ton of most common aggregates typically covers about 80-100 sq ft at a 1 inch depth, but coverage varies with material type and particle size. For project planning, convert desired depth to inches and use our online calculator to get a more precise number for your material and location.

Price is driven by material type, quantity, local availability, haul distance, and delivery timing. Regional sourcing in Vernon and West Indiana means materials reflect local geology, so costs can vary; get a quote through our site to see transparent pricing for your zip code.

Buying in bulk, choosing locally sourced materials, scheduling standard delivery, and consolidating orders are common ways to reduce cost. Picking up materials yourself can save on delivery but factor in truck size limits, time, and loading logistics.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. The driver will assess site access, safety, and equipment limitations on arrival and may decline if spreading cannot be done safely.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, toys, and low branches, mark any buried utilities or septic lines, and provide a clear turn-around for the dump truck. For best results, grade and compact the area beforehand and leave instructions in Order Notes for preferred placement.

Yes. Freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs in West Indiana can affect delivery access, compaction, and the performance of materials, so plan for drainage and schedule deliveries during drier windows when possible. Ordering earlier in the season can help secure materials and preferred delivery dates.
