Material Delivery and Hauling Services

Can’t pick up the material you need? No problem — we’ll bring it to you.

At First Rate Excavate, we provide dependable hauling services for a wide variety of aggregate materials. In addition to sourcing from our own material sites, we also partner with other local quarries to pick up and deliver a wide range of materials — giving you access to an even greater selection, whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or commercial client.

Looking for Material Delivery?

Looking for a material that isn’t listed on our website for pick-up? Give us a call! We often haul products outside of our regular inventory, and delivery pricing varies, so it isn’t listed online.

We also provide hauling services to remove material from your site. We can haul away:

  • Concrete
  • Asphalt
  • Black Dirt
  • Clay
  • Black Dirt and Clay Mix

(Haul-away pricing varies based on the type of material and your location.)

Scheduling & Availability

We’re often able to accommodate same-day delivery, but for large or complex requests, we recommend calling ahead. This helps us ensure prompt service and the best possible experience for your project.

To schedule your delivery or hauling service, call us at 605.331.5626.
