Your sand, gravel & rock delivery questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much do gravel and landscaping rock delivery cost?

Gravel and rocks cost $15 to $30 per cubic yard on average, including delivery. The type, amount, and distance delivered impacts the price. Landscaping rock has many uses, including drainage, driveways, walkways, gardens, retaining walls, fire pits, and water features.

  • Crushed rock and gravel prices range from $15 to $75 per cubic yard or $10 to $50 per ton before delivery. Delivery costs add $10 to $25 per ton.
  • Landscaping rock costs $50 to $140 per ton or $55 to $175 per cubic yard, including delivery, for 1" to 4" river rock.

How much does sand delivery cost?

Sand costs $15 to $50 per cubic yard or $10 to $40 per ton delivered, depending on the type, amount, and distance delivered. Installation raises the price to $50 to $150 per ton, including delivery, labor, supplies, and equipment fees.

  • The average cost of a dump truck load of sand–10 to 14 cubic yards–is $300 to $700 including delivery.

Do you tip for gravel delivery?

Drivers do not expect a tip for gravel delivery. However, consider adding a tip if the delivery logistics are challenging and the driver takes extra care to ensure it is done right, or if they do more than just deliver the gravel to you, such as spreading and installing it.

What are common types of landscaping rock?

Common types of landscaping rock include river rocks, lava rocks, crushed stone and gravel, Mexican beach pebbles, bull rock, and large boulders. The best type depends on the project.

  • River rocks are often used to edge garden beds, creating a visual boarder, keeping mulch in place, and preventing soil erosion.
  • Decorative lava rocks come in red, black, and gray colors, and provide a lightweight alternative to mulch.
  • Bull rock is commonly used for drainage, rock gardens, driveway and foundation boarders, and xeriscaping.
  • Mexican beach pebbles are great for driveways, walkways, planters, water features, and backyard ground covering where people may walk around barefoot.

How do I choose the best sand and gravel delivery service near me?

Most landscapers get discounted rates, which often makes paying for delivery cheaper than buying, loading, and unloading yourself. When searching for a sand or gravel delivery service near you, remember to:

  • Get at least 3 price quotes from companies that are licensed, bonded, insured, and have been in business 5+ years.
  • Check out their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Ask friends, family, and neighbors for references.
  • Get at least three price quotes.
  • Don't pay cash. Work out payment plan up front if necessary.
