Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Rock Island, TN

Choose materials that lock together and shed water well; in West Tennessee that usually means well-graded, angular aggregates. For most driveway and high-traffic uses, a sturdy base and proper compaction are as important as the material itself. Remember regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in texture and performance, so ask about local samples before ordering.

Rock Island's climate and occasional freeze-thaw cycles make drainage and compaction key considerations. Pick materials and layer thickness that promote quick drainage and resist erosion rather than fine, easily washed materials. If frost heave is a concern, increase base thickness and consult our team for material and installation guidance.

Standard delivery is generally 2 or more business days from order confirmation, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Exact times depend on supplier availability and local hauling schedules, so choose your delivery date on checkout and contact our team for urgent needs. Keep in mind weekends, holidays, and heavy seasonal demand can lengthen lead times.

Common mistakes include underordering (not accounting for compaction or waste), skipping a proper base or compaction plan, and not confirming site access for dump trucks. Also avoid assuming photos match local material color or texture; regional sourcing causes variation. Use our material calculator or contact sales to refine quantities and delivery details.

A typical two-car driveway around 20 by 20 feet requires roughly 4 to 6 inches of material; that equals about 5 to 8 cubic yards or roughly 7 to 11 tons depending on the material. Thicker bases (4 to 6 inches or more) are recommended for heavier traffic or poor soils, so ordering a bit extra to allow for compaction and grading is wise. Use our online calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions for a tailored estimate.

Delivery is performed by contracted truck fleets and drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. You can request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and local driver policy. We coordinate delivery logistics and will note any site constraints on your order to help suppliers plan.

For slopes or flood-prone areas, prioritize erosion-resistant and well-draining materials and consider geotextile fabric, terracing, or retaining structures to stabilize soil. Thicker, coarser layers and proper grading to direct water away from structures reduce settling and washout. Always check local floodplain rules and, if needed, consult a contractor or local authority before ordering.

Price depends on material type, local availability, distance from supplier, order size (tonnage), and any processing like screening or washing. Site access, required permits, seasonal demand, and special delivery requests (next-day or spreading) can add fees. Our checkout shows transparent pricing and delivery options for your zip code; contact sales for quotes on large or complex jobs.

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.
