How delivery works
From order to dump
- Send the order. Material, quantity and address, through the order form or by phone.
- Get a price and a time. Mike calls or texts to confirm both. If the material or the quantity looks wrong for the job, he'll say so.
- Mark the spot. Stake or flag where the pile goes, and tell us about gates, slopes and anything overhead.
- We deliver. The truck backs in and dumps where you marked, as long as it can get there safely.
Before the truck arrives
Site checklist
- Firm ground. Loaded trucks sink in soft or wet soil and can crack thin concrete.
- Clear overhead. A raised dump bed can reach 20 feet or more. No power lines or limbs over the drop spot.
- Room to back in. A wide gate and space to turn and back up.
- A phone number. Someone the driver can call from the truck.
How much to order
Work it out in cubic yards
Bulk material is measured in cubic yards. To estimate, multiply length × width × depth in feet and divide by 27. Or use square feet × depth in inches ÷ 324.
| Depth | One cubic yard covers about | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 2 inches | 162 square feet | Topdressing, thin gravel topping |
| 3 inches | 108 square feet | Topsoil for sod, walk paths |
| 4 inches | 81 square feet | Driveway base, slab cushion |
| 6 inches | 54 square feet | Road base, heavier traffic |
Example: a 12 ft × 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is 600 square feet × 4 ÷ 324, or about 7.4 cubic yards. Many people add 5 to 10 percent for compaction and uneven ground.
Common questions
Before you order
How much does a dump truck hold?
It depends on the truck and on how heavy the material is. As a rough guide, a tandem-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, and larger end-dump trailers carry more. Heavy material such as rock and gravel reaches a truck's legal weight before it fills the bed, so a load of rock is fewer cubic yards than a load of topsoil. Tell us your quantity and we'll work out the number of loads.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
Multiply length × width × depth, all in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A shortcut: square feet × depth in inches ÷ 324. One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep, or about 81 square feet at 4 inches deep.
Example: a 12 ft × 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 7.4 cubic yards. The calculator on the order page does the math for you.
How much does a load cost?
Price depends on the material, the quantity and the length of the haul, so every order is quoted. Send the details through the order form or call 559-748-6108, and Mike will give you a price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is charged online.
How soon can you deliver?
It depends on the material and on the schedule that week. Put the date you need on the order form, or call Mike at 559-748-6108 if it is urgent. He will confirm what is possible before you plan around it.
