➜ Material Delivery

One cubic yard covers 100 square feet at a depth of 3 inches, which is the arithmetic that turns "a couple of loads" into an actual number before anything gets ordered. Dozer Construction & Landscaping, LLC delivers material across Moses Lake, WA: gravel, road mix, drain rock, crushed base, sand, fill dirt, topsoil, and bark, to homeowners, contractors, and property managers. Licensed and insured, with 11 years of knowing exactly what a yard actually covers on the ground.

BUYING BY THE TRUCKLOAD IS A GUESS.

A truckload is a measure of a truck, not a measure of your project. Two deliveries of the same nominal size can leave very different amounts on the ground depending on the material, its moisture, and how much it compacts once it is spread and driven on. The pile always looks bigger sitting in the driveway than it does spread out.


Working from area and depth instead removes that. Square footage, finished depth, and a compaction allowance produce a number, and a number is something you can check against what shows up and what is left over.

  • Quantity figured from area and depth
  • Material matched to what it has to do
  • Compaction allowance included
  • Delivered without excavation work required

➜ MATERIAL DELIVERY

RIGHT ROCK, RIGHT JOB, EVERY TIME.

Gravel is not one product. Angular crushed base locks together and belongs under a driveway. Round drain rock stays open and belongs around a perforated pipe. Bedding sand cushions a utility line. Screened topsoil grows things. Pit run fills volume cheaply. Ordering the wrong one is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes a property owner makes, and it usually only becomes obvious after the material is spread.

DELIVERED WHERE YOU ACTUALLY NEED IT.

A pile dumped at the end of a driveway becomes a wheelbarrow project. Where access allows, material gets placed at the work area, spread along a run, or dropped in staged piles so it is where the work is happening. On tight properties around Moses Lake, WA that means checking overhead lines, gate widths, septic locations, and soft ground before the truck backs in rather than afterward.

A YARD IS A MEASUREMENT, NOT A FEELING.

Most of the material calls we take start with somebody guessing high because running short is worse than having extra. 11 years of these deliveries means we can usually give a tighter number from square footage and depth than a guess produces, which saves both the second delivery trip and the leftover pile that nobody in the household wants. How big is the area you are covering?

WHAT ORDERING BY THE NUMBERS SAVES YOU

No Second Delivery Charge

Running short means paying for another trip, and on a small order the trip frequently costs more than the material. Getting the quantity right the first time avoids that entirely.

No Leftover Pile To Deal With

Over-ordering leaves a mound that has to be spread somewhere, hauled away, or lived with. Neither running short nor running long is free, and both come from guessing.

Material That Performs

The right product for the application means the base compacts, the drain stays open, the topsoil grows things, and nobody has to remove and replace material a season later.

Less Handling On Your End

Placing material where the work is happening, rather than wherever the truck can stop, removes hours of wheelbarrow and shovel work from whoever is doing the spreading.

A Straight Answer On Coverage

Knowing that a yard covers roughly 100 square feet at 3 inches lets you check the plan yourself, rather than accepting a quantity you have no way to verify.

One Call For Material And Machine

When the same contractor delivers and can spread, grade, or compact what arrived, the material does not sit in a pile waiting for a second contractor to become available.

➜ WHAT WE HAUL

OUR MATERIAL DELIVERY

Different jobs need different products, and the difference between them matters more than most people expect. These six categories cover nearly everything that gets requested around the Basin, on jobs of every size.

DRIVEWAYS

Gravel, Road Mix, and Crushed Base

Angular crushed rock in the gradations used for driveway base, surface course, parking areas, and equipment pads, chosen so the material locks together and compacts rather than rolling under tires.

DRAINAGE

Drain Rock and Washed Gravel

Clean, washed, round rock in the sizes used around perforated pipe, in dry wells, and behind retaining walls, sized to stay open and let water move rather than binding and silting up.

BEDDING

Sand and Utility Bedding

Bedding sand for pipe and conduit trenches, along with sand for backfill and leveling under pavers and slabs, delivered clean and free of the rock that damages buried lines.

Bark, mulch, and decorative rock delivered by the yard for beds, borders, and ground cover, with the quantity figured from the bed area and the depth the material needs to work.

➜ THE WORD ON OUR WORK

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY.

Delivery feedback is unusually specific and it is almost always about two things: the load showed up when it was promised, and the amount was right. Occasionally somebody mentions where it was placed, which is the part we work hardest on.

➜ Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Material questions are mostly arithmetic and product selection, and both are worth getting right. These are the ones that come up on nearly every delivery call we take.

  • How do I know how much gravel, fill dirt, topsoil, or mulch I need delivered?

    The amount depends on the dimensions of the area and the desired finished depth. Rather than guessing by the truckload, quantities can be estimated from the project's square footage, depth, grade, and compaction requirements so you receive an appropriate amount.

  • Can you deliver material even if I do not need excavation work?

    Yes. Dozer Construction & Landscaping, LLC provides material delivery as a standalone service in Moses Lake, WA for homeowners, contractors, property owners, and businesses needing gravel, fill dirt, topsoil, mulch, or other common site materials. Quantities are figured first.

  • How many square feet does a yard of material cover?

    Roughly 100 square feet at a depth of 3 inches, 160 square feet at 2 inches, or 80 square feet at 4 inches. Compaction reduces those figures for base material under traffic. Measuring the area first avoids a second trip.

  • What is the difference between fill dirt and topsoil?

    Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grade or fill volume, with little organic content. Topsoil is the screened organic layer that supports plant growth, and it is not a structural material. Using one where the other belongs causes problems later.

  • Can material be dumped somewhere other than the driveway?

    Usually yes, where access allows. Overhead lines, gate width, soft ground, septic components, and turning room all get checked first, since a loaded truck in the wrong place creates its own problems. A quick look at the route settles it.

  • Do you spread material after delivering it?

    Yes, on request. Dozer Construction & Landscaping, LLC brings the same equipment that places, spreads, grades, or compacts the material on Moses Lake, WA jobs, so it does not sit waiting on a second contractor with different availability.

  • How much does a yard of gravel weigh?

    Around 2,500 to 3,000 pounds depending on the material and its moisture content, which is why truck capacity is limited by weight rather than by volume and why load counts vary between products. Wet material weighs noticeably more.

  • Can I get a partial load or a small quantity?

    Small deliveries are generally possible, though the trip cost is a larger share of a small order. Combining several materials into one delivery is often the more economical approach. Ordering it all at once keeps the total lower.

➜ HOW WE WORK 

FROM MEASUREMENT TO DUMP SITE, HERE IS HOW.

STEP 01

WE MEASURE THE AREA

Length, width, and the depth the finished surface needs get established, along with what the material has to do. That combination sets both the quantity and the product.

STEP 02

WE PICK THE MATERIAL

Base, drain rock, bedding sand, fill, topsoil, or bark, chosen for the application rather than for what happens to be cheapest. The wrong product costs more once it has been spread.

STEP 03

WE CALCULATE THE QUANTITY

Area times depth gives a volume, and a compaction allowance is added where the material will be driven on. The number goes to you before anything is ordered or scheduled.

STEP 04

WE CHECK THE ACCESS

Gate widths, overhead lines, turning room, soft ground, and any septic or utility components under the route are confirmed, so the delivery goes where you want it without incident.

STEP 05

WE DELIVER TO THE SPOT

Material is placed at the work area, spread along a run, or staged in piles positioned to reduce handling, rather than dumped in one heap wherever the truck could stop first.

STEP 06

WE SPREAD IT IF YOU WANT

Where it is useful, the same visit includes spreading, grading, or compacting the material, so the delivery finishes as a completed surface instead of a pile in the yard.
