Fulfillment:

Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects.

Why Elba Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elba sits within a small but steady community (city population 1,950) that is growing at a measured pace. A growth rate of 0.40% annually points to gradual housing turnover and modest new construction rather than a building boom; that means homeowner projects and incremental landscaping upgrades are the most common drivers of local aggregate demand. With roughly 228 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of rainfall, Elba’s temperate climate supports both year-round outdoor work and seasonal concerns like spring runoff and winter freeze-thaw cycles. In this setting, homeowners need reliable bulk supplies—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that perform across wet springs and sunny summers. Choosing the right sizes, textures, and quantities helps paths, drainage, and planting areas age predictably and reduces future maintenance in the region’s conditions.Popular Projects in Elba This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elba Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elba.
Homeowners in Elba commonly buy a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for projects like driveways, walkways, patios, garden beds, raised beds, and grading or fill work. These materials come in different sizes and gradations, and local suppliers’ products reflect regional geology so color and texture can vary. Think about the function you need (drainage, load-bearing, finish surface) when choosing a material.
Most suppliers serving Elba, including Hello Gravel, have a minimum order of about 3 tons and deliver using tri-axle dump trucks. Standard delivery timelines are typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but you should request it at checkout and not assume it will be provided.
Elba’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and winter snow can cause settling, heaving, and washout if materials are not specified and installed properly. Using well-graded, coarse materials as base layers, providing good drainage, and compacting layers reduces movement; fine, uncompacted materials are more likely to shift. Plan for occasional top-ups and maintenance after winter and heavy rains.
Costs vary widely by material type, quantity, delivery distance, and any add-on services; a rough delivered material range can be about $25 to $80 per ton depending on the product and local availability. Small orders, steep driveway access, spreading services, and weekend or expedited delivery can add to the total. For an accurate estimate, request a quote with project details and delivery address.
Many local contractors and landscapers in the Elba area offer grading, installation, and compaction services after materials are delivered, but availability and pricing vary. Hello Gravel connects you with materials and haulers; you should ask for referrals or book a contractor separately if you need installation. If you plan to hire a contractor, coordinate delivery timing and placement instructions with them in advance.
Large deliveries and driveway alterations can be affected by Town of Elba and Genesee County rules, including road-weight limits, permit requirements for overweight loads, and driveway apron or setback approvals. Private roads, narrow streets, or seasonal weight restrictions may require alternate staging or smaller trucks. Contact the town highway superintendent or local permitting office before scheduling a large delivery to confirm requirements.
For slopes and poor drainage, choose well-draining, angular materials as base layers and use a layered approach to move water away from structures; including a drainage course and geotextile fabric can help stabilize slopes. Avoid relying solely on fine, compacted dirt at the surface where water can be trapped. For severe drainage issues, consider combining aggregates with engineered drainage solutions like French drains or swales and consult a pro for sizing.
In Elba, the ideal window for most exterior projects is late spring through early fall when freeze-thaw and heavy snowfall are less likely to cause delays. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during early spring thaw or the heart of winter when roads can be restricted and ground conditions are poor. Book deliveries several days to weeks in advance for busy seasons and use the next-day option only when necessary and placed before the cutoff time.
Measure the length, width, and depth of the area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material-specific density (many aggregates vary; 1 cubic yard often converts to about 1.2–1.5 tons). Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request help from our team if you are unsure, and add 5–10% extra to account for compaction and settling. Provide photos and site access notes to the supplier for the most accurate recommendation.
Expect a tri-axle dump truck to arrive and the driver to choose a safe offload location based on access and ground conditions; confirm the drop location when placing your order and leave clear instructions in Order Notes. Clear obstacles, mark utilities or sensitive areas, and ensure someone is on site if you need materials placed in a specific spot; tarps and smaller equipment may be needed for precise placement. Remember that tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.

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.
