Two things in front of you settle this, and neither of them is a county boundary. One is the ZIP code on your mail. The other is the width of the opening at the street and what is hanging over it.
The ZIP you enter at checkout is the test
Delivery is arranged from the ZIP code entered at checkout, so that is the test. Use the ZIP for the delivery address rather than a billing one, pick the material from the stone and soil list on the way through, and set the date in the same step.
Hilltown lanes, Plymouth sand and a shared alley
Three common Massachusetts approaches ask three different questions. A Berkshire lane sits on stony till over a dense lower layer that holds water near the surface, so there the question is when the ground will carry a loaded axle. The outwash sand around Plymouth drains fast and firms up early, so there it rarely is the question at all. On a tight eastern lot the ground is not the problem either: where a pile can sit, and for how long, is.
The second check: can the truck reach the spot?
An address that comes back with a date still needs a route in. A dump truck wants a clear path around twelve feet wide with no low branches and no wires across it, and firm ground at the far end. Height stops more deliveries than width does, particularly on older streets where trees have grown out over the drive.
Walk the route before you book. If something along it is borderline, say so in the order, and read how the drop is handled for what happens where the truck cannot reach your marked spot. Questions about a specific address go through the contact page, and the quantity can be worked out in the meantime with the material calculators.
Common questions
Which ZIP code should I enter, the billing one or the site one?
The one where the material is going. Delivery is arranged from the delivery ZIP at checkout, so a billing address in another town will give you the wrong answer.
The county list has my area in it. Is that the answer?
Not on its own. The ZIP entered at checkout is what the delivery is arranged from, and access to the drop spot is a separate question on top of that.
The address is fine but the drive is narrow. What happens?
Where the truck cannot reach the spot you marked, the load goes down as close as is safe, which usually means at the head of the drive. Flag the access when you order so it is known in advance rather than discovered on the day.
