Why Riverhead Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Riverhead has a population of 25,200, and with a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually the area is seeing consistent, incremental demand for home improvements and modest new construction rather than rapid expansion. That steady pace—combined with a surrounding metro population of 2.3+ million—means many homeowners invest in phased projects like refreshed driveways, improved drainage, expanded garden beds, and small-scale hardscapes. Local climate conditions (228 sunny days/year and about 33.50 inches of rain annually) and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b create a mix of drying periods and wet cycles. In this environment, quality bulk materials across categories—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—matter because their grading, organic content, and compaction properties directly affect drainage, plant health, and long-term durability for patios, paths, and foundations.Popular Projects in Riverhead This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Riverhead Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Riverhead.
Choose materials based on function: load-bearing projects need more compactable and angular aggregates, while decorative beds prioritize color and texture. Consider drainage needs, local freeze-thaw conditions, and how the material will be finished (compacted, loose, or topped with pavers). Use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation that fits Riverhead's coastal/Long Island geology and your project's scale.
Delivery depends on your zip code and order size; our minimum order is 3 tons and many areas offer free delivery. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact fees and availability are shown at checkout after you enter your Riverhead zip code.
Late spring through early fall is usually best for exterior projects because soils are drier and scheduling is easier, but materials can be delivered year-round. Avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain or while the ground is frozen to reduce tracking and settling issues. Plan ahead for municipal permit lead times and busy contractor seasons to secure your preferred delivery date.
Riverhead's coastal climate and sandy native soils influence drainage and salt exposure, so choose materials that handle salt and frost cycles well and provide appropriate drainage. Materials sourced locally will reflect regional geology, which can affect color, texture, and compaction behavior. Discuss specific site conditions with our team to pick a material suited to your soil and exposure.
Calculate volume in cubic yards (area times depth) and convert to tons using the material's density—most calculators on our site handle this automatically. For small projects, round up to account for compaction and uneven grading; for driveways or base layers allow extra for compaction and waste. If you prefer, contact our team with project dimensions and we can estimate for you.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Spreading depends on truck setup, site access, and safety considerations upon arrival. For guaranteed spreading or more extensive installation, consider hiring a local contractor and use Hello Gravel for material delivery.
Permit requirements vary by project type and local jurisdiction, so check with Riverhead Town or your homeowners association before starting. Simple landscaping may not require permits, but changes to drainage, curb cuts, or major grading typically do. We can help you plan quantities and timing, but you should confirm permit needs with local authorities.
For drainage you want a material that allows water to pass through without clogging; for edging you need something that stays put and compacts, and for a finished surface consider texture, color, and comfort underfoot. Think about maintenance, how the area will be used, and whether you need a base layer versus a decorative top layer. Our team can suggest combinations that work well in Riverhead's environment.
Durability depends on material type, installation, and exposure to traffic and weather; coastal salt and freeze-thaw cycles can increase maintenance needs. Expect to regrade or top-dress loose surfaces every few years on high-traffic areas, and use edging and weed control to reduce loss. Proper initial installation and drainage planning will extend life and reduce upkeep.
Natural and regionally sourced materials vary in color, texture, and size, so they may not match photos or samples exactly. We encourage noting color or texture preferences in the Order Notes, but expect some natural variation reflecting Riverhead's local geology. If you have concerns about appearance, contact our team before ordering to discuss options or arrange a closer match.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible; we will do our best to accommodate changes before the order is processed or dispatched. Once the material is in transit or the supplier has started processing, changes may be limited and could incur fees. Check your order confirmation for specific next steps and timing for modifications.
We serve Riverhead and surrounding zip codes, but availability depends on local supplier and hauler coverage.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
