If you're a contractor who buys aggregate from Smoky Mountain Sand & Gravel or runs trucks through our yard on a regular basis, a contractor account makes life easier. It's built for construction outfits that want simple billing and clean records.

Setting one up takes a few minutes, and it's free.

First: Drop-Off Is Free With or Without an Account

Walk-in drop-offs are always welcome at SMSG. Clean concrete (rebar is fine), asphalt, brick, block, and natural stone drop off free. No scale, no appointment, no account required. Pull in, dump, and roll out.

Mixed or dirty loads are different. Call (865) 999-0857 before you haul those.

So what does an account do? It's mostly about the material you buy and the trucking you book.

Why Set Up a Contractor Account?

One Invoice for RCA, RAP, and Trucking

If you pick up RCA crusher run, RCA #57, or recycled asphalt for your jobs, an account puts every load on one bill. Same for trucking and delivery. No fumbling for a card every time a truck pulls in. Call (865) 999-0857 for current pricing on material and delivery.

Payment Terms That Fit Contractor Cash Flow

Paying on every load is fine for one-off visits, but it's a hassle when you're running multiple trucks every week. Approved accounts can get invoiced on a regular cycle so you can pay the way your business already runs.

Dedicated Support and Record-Keeping

With an account you're not just a random truck pulling in. You get a direct point of contact for questions, load planning before you dispatch a truck, and help scheduling material for big projects.

Every load gets documented with dates and material types. If your contracts require waste diversion or recycled content documentation (increasingly common on government and commercial work), your account records help. Our LEED guide covers that angle.

How to Set Up Your Account

We kept this simple because you don't have time for a 10-page application.

Step 1: Contact Us

Reach out a few ways:

  • Apply online on our accounts page.
  • Call us at (865) 999-0857. Talk to someone directly and get started on the spot.
  • Visit our contact page and fill out the form. We'll get back to you quickly.
  • Stop by the yard in person. Mention you want to set up an account and we'll walk you through it.

Step 2: Provide Your Business Information

The basics: company name and address, primary contact info, type of work you do, and roughly what material you expect to buy. No minimum commitment.

Step 3: Review and Start

We set up your account and confirm your payment terms. Once confirmed, you're active. On your next visit, give your company name and the load goes on your account. Your drivers do the same.

Usually takes a day or two. Plenty of contractors get it done on one phone call.

Who Should Set Up an Account?

Accounts make sense for demolition contractors, general contractors, sitework and excavation companies, paving contractors, concrete contractors, landscaping companies, and municipal road departments. If you buy base stone or drainage stone regularly, you qualify. No minimum volume required.

Run a Two-Pile System on Site

Plenty of account holders split demo debris on site: clean concrete to us for free, mixed debris to the landfill. Even partial diversion saves real money compared to paying the Blount County Landfill about $60 a ton for everything. See our drop-off guide for what counts as clean, and our concrete recycling vs landfill guide for the math.
