Gravel Delivery Areas: Checking a Wisconsin Address Before You Order

A good share of the addresses that go into this site are not in a city. They are a township road off a county highway, a lake lot at the end of a two-track, or a farm lane that leaves the pavement a quarter mile back. So the useful question about gravel delivery areas is rarely which county you are in. It is whether a loaded truck can reach the spot where you want the pile.

How do I check my own address?

By ZIP code. Delivery is arranged at checkout using the ZIP code you enter, so that is the check that counts. Use the ZIP the property sits in rather than a mailing address somewhere else, which matters on rural routes and for seasonal properties where post goes to a town address.

What does the truck need once it turns off the county road?

• About 12 feet of clear width the whole way in, and somewhere to turn or back out at the end.
• Nothing hanging low. Overhead branches on a wooded lake drive and a service wire across a farm yard stop more deliveries than narrow gates do.
• Firm ground to tip on. After the thaw, the low corner of a lane will hold a wheel, and clay stays soft long after the surface looks dry.
• A marked drop spot, and gates standing open and wide enough.

Walk the route before you order rather than on the morning. If any of it is doubtful, send the details with your ZIP code and a note on width and overhead clearance.

What the county names further down the page are for

They are county names and nothing else: labels to help you place yourself, not links and not an availability answer. The ZIP code at checkout is what settles the address. The delivery page covers what happens on the day, work out a quantity before you order, and the material list is where to start once the address checks out.
