Trucking & Material Delivery · Union, Kentucky
Material Delivery for Union Homes and Builders
Union has the newest housing stock anywhere we deliver, with a median build year of 2005 per the ACS, and it's still adding: the town nearly tripled between 2000 and 2020, subdivision work continues along US 42, KY 536, and KY 237, and the $150 million Union Promenade town center broke ground on US 42 in 2022. New construction at that clip means a constant stream of material moving in, from utility sand to base stone to the finish topsoil that turns a graded lot into a lawn.
The short answer
Our 14-truck fleet delivers screened topsoil, gravel, sand, and fill dirt to Union, about 15 road miles from our Crittenden yard via I-75 and Mt Zion Road. Big lawns on big lots take real tonnage, and we can spread what we dump. Call 859-910-9272 for a straight answer on loads.
The lots themselves change the arithmetic. Union runs to large parcels and custom builds, 88 percent owner-occupied per the ACS, and a big Union lawn is a bulk order, not a bagged one. A single yard here can absorb loads of screened topsoil at the coverage rule of about 100 square feet per cubic yard at 3 inches, which is exactly the kind of job where having the dump fleet and the grading crew under one roof saves you from staring at a mountain of dirt.
Two pieces of local ground truth shape how we deliver here. First, Union's broad ridges sit on Rossmoyne soil, a loess-over-till profile with a fragipan about two feet down that perches water all winter, so topsoil orders in Union frequently pair with drainage stone because the pan guarantees the water won't soak away on its own. Second, the city sits in the Gunpowder Creek watershed and was a named partner in the cleanup that got the creek off Kentucky's impaired list in 2022, so loads get placed with runoff in mind. Material that washes downhill helps nobody, least of all a watershed the whole city worked to fix.
What makes Union ground different
Acreage lawns, delivery-scale tonnage
Union's large custom-build lots swallow topsoil and stone in quantities a landscape store can't touch. This is by-the-load country, and our trucks are sized for it.
Rossmoyne pan under the sod
The fragipan two feet under Union's ridges perches winter water, which is why flat yards here get soggy. Pairing fresh topsoil with curtain drain stone fixes the yard instead of redecorating it.
A watershed the city fought for
Gunpowder Creek came off the impaired waters list in 2022 with Union as a partner in the plan. We dump where material stays put, because keeping fines out of that creek is part of doing this job right.

Trucking & Material Delivery work we bring to Union
Trucking & Material Delivery in Union: your questions
Do you deliver topsoil to Union, KY?
Yes, and Union's big lawns are exactly why we sell it by the truckload. Screened topsoil, dumped or spread, about 15 road miles from our yard via exit 178 and Mt Zion Road.
How many tons of topsoil does a new lawn in Union need?
Work it from area: a cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches, and a yard of topsoil runs roughly a ton, more when wet. Measure the lawn, call us, and we'll convert it into loads before you commit to anything.
Can you deliver and spread gravel for a driveway in Union?
We can do both. The truck delivers the stone and our grading crew spreads, crowns, and compacts it, one contractor for the whole driveway instead of two schedules to wrangle.
Do you deliver sand for paver patios in Union?
Yes. Bedding sand by the load, at about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, dropped as close to the project as your access allows. Tell us the patio size and we'll size the order.
