Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in New Castle, VA

Think about function first: load-bearing needs, drainage, and appearance. Because local suppliers source materials regionally, consider how gravel, sand, dirt, stone behave in wet conditions and freeze-thaw cycles typical of the area; use our material quiz or consult our team for recommendations. Order a small sample or use our calculator to compare depths and looks before committing to a full delivery.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use our online calculator to convert to tons or cubic yards; most homeowners find it helpful to add 5-10% for compaction and waste. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, so smaller jobs may need at least that amount or a reduced-depth approach. If you are unsure, contact our team with your dimensions and we will help estimate quantities.

New Castle experiences seasonal rain and freeze-thaw cycles, so choose materials that support drainage and resist movement in wet or freezing conditions. For example, select aggregates and base mixes designed to shed water and compact well, and plan for a proper subgrade to reduce frost heave. If your site is in a low spot or receives heavy runoff, factor in extra drainage or thicker base layers.

Rural sites can have narrow roads, low-hanging branches, soft shoulders, and tight turnarounds that affect dump truck access. Communicate gate codes, exact drop location, and any restrictions when ordering so the hauler can plan the safest approach; alternative drop points may be required. If access is limited, discuss smaller trucks or staging areas with our team ahead of delivery.

Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days after ordering, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and will receive confirmation once the hauler is assigned. While we provide scheduled dates, exact arrival times are not guaranteed, so plan a flexible window for the drop.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if the site and safety conditions allow, and you can request this service at checkout. Because spreading depends on truck type, site slope, overhead obstacles, and safety considerations, it is not guaranteed. If spreading is critical, discuss expectations with our team before delivery so we can note it for the hauler.

Cost depends on the type of material, the total tonnage needed, delivery distance from local suppliers, and site access complexity. Seasonal demand and special services like next-day delivery or spreading also affect price. We show transparent pricing during checkout and can provide a localized quote so you know what to expect before ordering.

Schedule deliveries for times when the ground is firm and not saturated—late spring through early fall is often best for many projects, but check local forecasts. Avoid deliveries right after heavy rain or on frozen, icy surfaces to reduce the risk of getting trucks stuck and to improve compaction results. For busy seasons, book early to secure your preferred date.

Natural materials can vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing, so some variation from photos is normal; if appearance is critical, request a sample or note preferences in your order. To change an order, contact our team as soon as possible—modifications are easiest before the hauler is dispatched. If there is an issue with delivery or material, contact customer service and we will work with you and the supplier to find a satisfactory solution.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
