Why Brooklyn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brooklyn homeowners face a busy, evolving building and landscaping market with a city population of 2.1+ million and a metro area drawing on 2.6+ million people. A growth rate of 2.80% annually implies steady demand for renovations, infill construction, and outdoor upgrades—more projects competing for the same local suppliers and hauling capacity. With 34.32 inches of annual rainfall and 228 sunny days each year in a hardiness zone of 8b, material choices must balance water management and sun exposure: think durable base mixes for driveways and paths that shed water, topsoils and planting mixes that support summer heat and moderate precipitation, and aggregates that resist washout in heavy rains. For homeowners, that means ordering the right volumes of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone up front, and planning delivery windows to match crews and weather windows so projects stay on schedule. Local climate and urban conditions create practical constraints for materials. Moderate rainfall and seasonal sun can accelerate erosion on slopes and compacted soils, while dense development increases the need for precise quantities and staged deliveries. These conditions make drainage, compaction, and particle size important across materials: properly graded mixes reduce settling, well-draining substrates limit pooling, and consistent supplier sourcing reduces surprises in color and texture. Hello Gravel simplifies these choices by connecting you to local suppliers who understand regional soil behavior, providing calculators and guidance to estimate tons and schedule deliveries that fit tight city jobs. That guidance helps homeowners choose materials that perform well in Brooklyn’s specific climate and development context.Popular Projects in Brooklyn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brooklyn Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brooklyn.
Choose based on purpose, drainage needs, appearance, and traffic load. For example, a material that compacts well is better for driveways, while a looser texture is fine for planting beds. Consider Brooklyn's local climate and site access, and use our material quiz or contact the team for tailored advice. Remember that gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates vary regionally, so ask about local samples when possible.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the required depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for quick estimates and factor in 5-10% extra for compaction and waste. If you are unsure, send measurements or photos to our team and we can help refine the quantity.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can select a preferred delivery date at checkout. Exact timing depends on supplier and truck availability, so confirm details after ordering.
Narrow streets, parking restrictions, and alternate-side parking can limit truck access or require a smaller truck or curbside drop-off. Drivers will assess site conditions on arrival and may refuse unsafe offloading, and tailgate spreading is at their discretion. To avoid surprises, note access details in Order Notes and check local parking rules or secure temporary parking if needed.
Some Brooklyn neighborhoods require street permits to block lanes or park large trucks during offloading, and certain curb cuts or heavy loads may need additional approvals. Permit rules vary by borough and neighborhood, so check with NYC DOT or your building management before scheduling large deliveries. If you expect to block the street, allow extra time for permit processing and tell our team when you order.
Freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and heavy rainfall affect compaction, delivery access, and material performance in Brooklyn. Avoid deliveries during heavy snow or when ground is saturated, and allow extra lead time in winter and early spring. Choose materials and depths that accommodate freeze-thaw movement and consider erosion control for sloped sites.
Prices are commonly quoted per cubic yard or per ton, with a separate delivery fee that varies by zip code and supplier. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing in checkout and provides quotes that include delivery details; free delivery may be available in some areas. For exact pricing for your Brooklyn zip code, request a quote or enter your address on the site.
Drivers may be able to do tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions, safety, and truck capability. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. If spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or requesting smaller offload options to reduce manual work.
Common concerns include settling, weed growth, drainage changes, and the need to top up materials over time. Proper base preparation, edging, and occasional regrading help minimize maintenance, and choosing a material suited to your climate and use will extend its life. Regular inspection after heavy storms or freeze-thaw cycles can catch issues early.
Coordinate delivery windows with your crew, confirm site access and permit needs, and designate a clear staging area for offloaded material. Provide the hauler with a contact person and any special instructions in Order Notes, and consider traffic and parking rules in dense neighborhoods. For large projects, schedule multiple smaller deliveries if access or storage is limited.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, textures and colors can vary from online photos. Take photos, keep samples, and contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to address the issue. Refer to our refund and resolution guidance for next steps, and add color or texture preferences in Order Notes for future orders.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is dispatched to a supplier or hauler. We will make a best effort to accommodate requests, but some changes may not be possible once processing or scheduling has begun. If you need help, call or text the Hello Gravel team with your order details right away.
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.
