Our 3-tonne truck can carry a maximum of 3 cubic yards of sand or gravel, top soil, fish compost, and bark mulch.
This truck is on the road every day that we're open and can usually manage same-day delivery. Also, If you book more than one delivery "back-to-back" with this truck, we offer a reduced delivery fee on every second trip.
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.
For large loads, our 12-tonne truck can haul up to 20 cubic yards when combined with its trailer, or 10 yards with just the truck.
It is available for delivery of single loads or for hourly trucking, Monday-Friday. Bulk prices are available: view our Sand & Gravel Mart for specific pricing details.
Conversion: 1 Yard = 1.2 Tonnes
Truck Only: 10 Yards = 12 Tonnes
Truck & Pup: 20 Yards = 24 Tonnes
On top of our bulk products, we also deliver rental equipment of all sizes, such as our Bobcat loaders, our trencher or stump grinder, lawnmowers or dethatchers.

Some of the many items we're able to deliver to your job site:
First, you'll need to know a couple of measurements: the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover.
Next, enter those numbers into our bulk material calculator to calculate the amount of material you'll need.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
