How it Works +

Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

Delivery Information +

We do not offer installation or spreading services as part of our material delivery. However, depending on the location, site conditions, weather, and comfortability of the driver, we may be able to tailgate spread the material if the driver feels the location and conditions are suitable.

This involves slowly moving the truck forward while dumping the material to make it easier to distribute, but is not a guaranteed service.

Refund Policy +

We work fast to get your order delivered — often within 2 business days. Here’s what you need to know about cancellations and refunds:

Full Refund: Cancel within 24 hours of purchase.
Partial Refund: After 24 hours, refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on order progress.
No Refund: Cancellations requested on the scheduled delivery day are not eligible for any refund.
Quality Guarantee: Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there’s an issue.
Not Covered: Wrong material ordered, normal color variations, or access issues at your property.

We’ll always do our best to make it right while keeping deliveries on schedule. Please see our full Refund & Cancellation Policy at the link in the footer of the website. Upon placing an order, the customer accepts these terms.

Materials are sourced and delivered locally. Materials may vary in color based on region.

Frequently Asked Questions +

How much material do I need?: Use our built-in calculator above. Enter your project dimensions and we will calculate the right amount, including extra for settling.
What is the difference between tons and cubic yards?: Tons measure weight; cubic yards measure volume. The conversion depends on the material density. Our calculator handles this for you automatically.
Can I get a sample before ordering?: Yes! Contact us and we can arrange a small sample for most products. You can also visit one of our partner quarries.
What if I order too much or too little?: We recommend ordering slightly more than you think you need to account for settling and compaction. If you need more, simply place another order.
Do you deliver on weekends?: We deliver Monday through Saturday. Sunday delivery is not available at this time.
How do I prepare for delivery?: Clear the delivery area of vehicles and obstacles. Ensure the truck can access the dump location without overhead obstructions like low branches or power lines.
