Materials & Delivery Calculator

We can deliver our bulk products. Delivery of very small quantities is expensive, in relation to the amount delivered, as compared to larger delivered quantities. This is due to the cost of the truck, driver, overhead being spread over a smaller quantity of product being delivered.

For more information, visit our Delivery Page.

While we don’t have a hard and fast delivery area, we tend to deliver most of our material within Onondaga County and the four counties that surround it (Oswego, Madison, Cortland, and Cayuga). For more information on delivery rates, please visit our Calculator Page or Contact Us for more information.

Some facts about our dump trucks may help you understand the constraints that we have to manage in making deliveries. Our dump trucks stand nearly 12 feet high when their boxes are down, and when the box is raised, can reach nearly 25 feet tall.

Delivery charges cover freight from our material source to the roadside at the customer's jobsite. We will attempt to dump or place materials at the customer's discretion on the site, allowing for the driver's discretion and concerns for safety of all. When loaded, our trucks can weigh up to 35 tons - they can leave ruts on lawns when asked to leave the roadway. In fact, they can leave ruts on or destroy blacktop driveways whether they are newly paved or long-established. Where our trucks go on customers’ property is entirely at the discretion of the customer, and the customer assumes the risks involved.

All stone products are heavy and moving them by shovel or wheelbarrow is hard work. Imagine a cubic yard - a box one yard by one yard by one yard - weighing 2,500-3,000 pounds.

We produce over 70 product varieties for pick up or delivery. Please see our Product Page for more information about some of the most common materials.

All orders should be called in to our main office at (315) 637-3390. You may also place orders in person if you visit our offices in Fayetteville.

Absolutely, as long as you are using a dump truck with USDOT numbers displayed. There is a minimum charge of $20.00.

Start by asking yourself:

• Do I need a material that will drain or one that will pack?

• Will the material be moved by machine or by hand/shovel?

• Is it for decorative purposes, or will it be buried under other material?

• What are the site conditions (wet, dry, sandy, heavy clay) and time of year? For example, select fill works much better in dry conditions than in wet ones.

Measure the length, width, and depth of the area that you plan to cover. Remember to measure the depth in feet (e.g., 4 inches = .333 feet). Multiply the length, width, and depth together. Divide that product by 27 to convert to cubic yards. The conversion factor from cubic yards to tons varies depending on the type of material you are using. A general rule would be that if the material is compactible (e.g., crusher run, select fill, stone dust), you should use a factor of 1.5 tons per cubic yard. If the material is “self-compacting,” meaning that it tends to be used for drainage (sized stone for example), you should use a factor of 1.25 tons per cubic yard. Materials such as screened topsoil and mulch do not have a good conversion factor, since they retain water weight so well. For additional help on calculating how much material you need, please visit our Calculator page.

1. Measure the length, width, and depth of your project area. Depth should be in feet (e.g., 4 inches = 0.333 ft).

2. Multiply length × width × depth.

3. Divide the result by 27 to get cubic yards.
