Why Brooklyn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brooklyn has a city population of 400 and sits within a metro area population of 2.6+ million, a context that helps explain steady local demand for home improvements and infill development. A measured annual growth rate of 1.20% means more homeowners are updating yards, driveways, and small-scale construction projects rather than large master-planned expansion. In this climate—with 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of rain annually, and a hardiness zone of 8b—materials need to balance drainage, durability, and plant health. That translates into a practical mix of aggregates, soils, and mulches: base materials for patios and drives, loose fills for grading and drainage, and organic products for planting areas. For Brooklyn homeowners, sourcing quality bulk materials helps avoid rework, supports long-term landscape performance, and keeps outdoor projects on budget and on schedule.Popular Projects in Brooklyn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brooklyn Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brooklyn.
Homeowners commonly choose a range of aggregates such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, patios, base layers and drainage solutions. Choose materials based on function: drainage and base support need coarser, compactable mixes while top layers and decorative areas can use finer or colored aggregates. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so ask for local samples or photos when possible.
Expect a minimum order around 3 tons and standard delivery lead times of 2+ business days on many services. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and some areas may have delivery or fuel surcharges depending on distance and access. Always confirm fees and pickup/delivery windows when you request a quote.
Freeze/thaw cycles and varying rainfall can cause settling, frost heave, and erosion, so choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist movement. Permeable, well-graded bases and proper compaction help extend lifespan in climates with wet springs and freeze/thaw. Schedule major installs for milder, drier months when possible to avoid working on frozen or waterlogged ground.
Low-lying or compacted sites often have slow-draining soils that benefit from a granular base and drainage layer to prevent saturation and rutting. Clay-rich soils common in parts of Illinois can hold water and cause shifting, so consider subgrade preparation, geotextile fabric, and positive grading away from structures. If drainage is a concern, consult a local contractor or perform a simple percolation check before choosing materials.
Calculate cubic yards with this formula: (length in feet) x (width in feet) x (depth in inches) / 324 to get cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons depends on material density, but a common rule of thumb is roughly 1.1 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard for many aggregates; check product-specific conversion. Add about 5-10% for compaction and waste, and use an online material calculator or supplier estimate for a precise quote.
Some local suppliers and contractors offer bundled delivery and installation or can recommend installers, but offerings vary by supplier and town. Delivery-only services are more common; ask if the supplier coordinates installers or if they recommend local contractors when you place your order. Get written estimates for labor, materials, and any site-prep to compare bundled options.
Permit and approval requirements vary by municipality; you may need permits for curb cuts, driveway alterations, or changes that affect stormwater and drainage. Check with the village or county building and public works departments for rules on impervious surface limits, required setbacks, and historic district restrictions. When in doubt, contact local authorities before ordering materials so you can factor any approvals into your schedule.
Prices vary by material, distance from source, and local demand, but a rough range is $20 to $60 per cubic yard or about $15 to $50 per ton for many basic aggregates. Delivery, specific product type, and seasonal demand can push prices higher, and decorative or specialty materials will cost more. For accurate budgeting, request a detailed quote that includes delivery and any access fees.
Confirm truck access, driveway width, overhead obstructions, and where you want the material dumped before delivery to avoid delays or extra handling. Note site conditions such as soft ground or tight streets that may restrict truck placement, and choose a delivery date that avoids heavy rain or freeze conditions when possible. Communicate special instructions in the order notes and provide a local contact number for the driver.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
