#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Why Altona Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Altona is a small but active community of 1,420 residents, and with a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually this scale of expansion generally drives consistent, predictable demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects rather than large booms. The local climate—about 228 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of rain in a hardiness zone of 8b—creates particular material needs: homeowners want products that resist prolonged sun exposure, shed seasonal rainfall, and support plantings suited to a mild zone. That means reliable bulk supplies for drainage layers, erosion control, soil blends for planting beds, and durable base materials for patios, driveways, and foundations. For both DIYers and contractors in Altona, sourcing quality gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone matters because proper grading, compaction, and material selection reduce maintenance, improve longevity, and help landscapes thrive in local conditions. Altona's mix of frequent sunshine and moderate rainfall means materials must balance drainage and moisture retention while resisting UV and weathering. Soils and regional aggregates may vary, so choosing the right gradation, organic content, and particle shape affects performance for everything from garden beds to hardscape bases. For homeowners this translates to planning for proper drainage, choosing stable base materials, and selecting topsoil or mulch that matches plant and microclimate needs. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand regional geology, offering quantity calculators, and scheduling deliveries so you get the right materials for Altona's specific conditions.Popular Projects in Altona This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Altona Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Altona.
Buying in bulk is usually cheaper per cubic yard or ton than buying bagged products, especially for larger projects. Bulk orders have lower packaging and handling costs, but you should factor in minimum order sizes, delivery fees, and storage space on site before deciding.
Use our material calculator or measure your area (length x width x depth) to estimate cubic yards, then convert to tons if needed. For quick planning, we can help convert your measurements and recommend a small buffer for compaction or waste; note our minimum order is 3 tons.
Deliveries are made by local dump trucks (typically tri-axle) contracted through our supplier network. Truck capacity varies by vehicle and material, but a common tri-axle load often carries roughly 9 to 12 cubic yards; your order confirmation will show the expected truck size and arrival window.
Price depends on the type of material, volume, local availability, and delivery distance, so costs can vary widely. The fastest way to know is to get a quote through our site for your zip code and desired amount, which shows transparent pricing and any delivery fees.
Yes, you can often order multiple materials in one delivery, but availability and loading logistics depend on the supplier and truck capacity. Indicate material mix in the order notes or contact our team so we can coordinate the best delivery plan.
It depends on your truck bed size and legal weight limits; many full cubic yards exceed the safe or legal capacity of a standard pickup when measured by weight. For safety and convenience, we recommend ordering a small bulk delivery or arranging professional truck delivery rather than overloading a personal vehicle.
Sometimes you can layer new material over existing material, but it depends on the condition of the base, drainage needs, and the project goal. For long-lasting results, we recommend evaluating or removing unsuitable material before adding new layers and contacting our team for guidance based on your project.
Spring through fall are generally the most flexible for delivery and installation, while winter deliveries may be limited by frozen ground or road restrictions in Altona. Plan larger projects ahead of peak season and check local weather; our checkout calendar lets you choose available delivery dates.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and local regulations. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival.
Organic materials like compost and mulch can attract insects if placed against wood structures, while mineral materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone tend not to attract pests but affect drainage differently. Consider project placement and drainage needs, and ask our team for material recommendations to reduce pest or water issues.
Project cost depends on material choice, area size, desired depth, and site prep; for example, a narrow driveway costs less than a wider one because it uses less material. Use our material calculator for a quantity estimate and request a quote to see material plus delivery and any additional services reflected in the price.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests before processing or dispatch. Changes may be limited once the supplier begins preparing materials or a truck is scheduled, so reach out quickly for the best chance of modification.
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.
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!
