For slightly larger loads, we now offer a medium-sized 6-tonne Hino dump truck.

This truck can haul up to 6 yards of sand, gravel, bark mulch, fish compost, or top soil.

This truck is available every day that we're open, and also offers reduced rates on sequential same-day deliveries that are booked at the same time.

What can we deliver?

Some of the many items we're able to deliver to your job site:

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need?

First, you'll need to know a couple of measurements: the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover.

Yard Calculator  Next, enter those numbers into our bulk material calculator to calculate the amount of material you'll need.

How quickly can you deliver?

"How about now?" is not an uncommon phrase at Sharecost. While we can't always promise instant delivery, we're really fast, and rarely need more than a few hours notice.

Can you deliver to steep driveways?

It depends on how steep your driveway is, what you need, and how much you need. If we think it's going to be tricky, we can send a runner to check it out before we load up the trucks.

Can you deliver a LOT of gravel?

Definitely. We offer delivery and competitive pricing on large volumes of sand and gravel via our tandem-axle dump truck. View the centre column of this page for delivery rates and capacity details; view our Sand & Gravel Mart for pricing.

Why is there a delivery charge?

We have to charge a delivery fee to cover commodities like fuel, but we also need to pay for the time and skilled labour required to safely load our vehicles, even if you're located one block over.
