Material Calculator
Estimate project volume, approximate weight, the number of loads required and the estimated TX1800 hauling charge.
Enter the full delivery address for the most accurate price estimate. ZIP code alone will estimate the route to that ZIP area.
Choose a material, enter project dimensions and add the delivery location.

Delivery Estimate
Address in. Route price out.
The calculator determines the one-way driving distance from the Aledo material yard to the delivery location. A full street address gives a more precise route estimate than ZIP code alone.
It also determines how many delivery loads the project requires based on estimated material weight and the trailer setup. Your quote confirms the expected number of delivery trips.
Local hauling starts at $150. The haul charge increases as the amount of material in each load increases, rather than charging the same price for a light load and a heavy load.
The first 10 one-way route miles from the supplying material yard are included. Beyond 10 miles, the calculator adds $25 for each additional started 5 miles, per load.
Material cost is separate and is added at the current source-yard price. Same-day service does not carry an automatic surcharge when it is available.
This is an estimate. Final load count and delivered price can change with the exact material, moisture, source, route conditions and jobsite access.
Haul Price Examples
Weight matters, but fixed trip cost matters too.
The pickup, loading, driving, dumping and payment time exist on every run. That is why pricing steps up with load size instead of multiplying directly with pounds.
From $150 local haul
Base delivery charge within the first 10 one-way miles from the material source.
Higher than base
More material means more fuel, braking, tire and equipment cost, while much of the trip cost stays fixed.
Highest single-load tier
Larger projects are automatically split into additional loads when another trip is required.
Typical Planning Weights
One cubic yard can weigh very differently by material.
These are practical averages for estimating delivery weight, not guaranteed product specifications.
≈ 1.38 tons/yd³
About 2,750 lb per cubic yard.
≈ 1.30 tons/yd³
About 2,600 lb per cubic yard as a general planning figure.
≈ 1.20 tons/yd³
About 2,400 lb per cubic yard for sandy-loam type topsoil.
≈ 1.20 tons/yd³
About 2,400 lb per cubic yard as a practical crushed-base planning figure.
≈ 0.30 tons/yd³
About 600 lb per cubic yard for dry wood mulch.
≈ 0.65 tons/yd³
About 1,300 lb per cubic yard as a midpoint planning value.
