Why Dix Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dix Hills homeowners are working within a sizable regional market: a city population of 26,180 and a metro area population of 2.3+ million help explain steady demand for residential improvement and infrastructure projects. A growth rate of 0.40% annually points to measured, ongoing development rather than boom cycles — that means consistent, predictable need for materials rather than frantic sourcing. Local climate factors — 228 sunny days and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — create a balance of sun exposure and periodic moisture that affects patios, driveways, planting beds, and drainage systems. In practice, homeowners want bulk supplies that offer durability, consistent grading, and predictable drainage performance. Quality aggregates, soils, and mulches reduce rework, help manage runoff, and support plantings that thrive in the local hardiness zone, so choosing the right mix of materials up front is especially important here.Popular Projects in Dix Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dix Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dix Hills.
Start by matching the material's properties to the job: drainage and compaction needs for driveways and bases, fine texture for leveling or play areas, and clean, decorative material for beds and borders. Consider Long Island's climate and soil—materials that drain well and resist freeze-thaw movement often perform better here. Use our material quiz or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project size and local conditions.
Yes. Freeze-thaw cycles, coastal salt exposure, and sandy or clay soils common on Long Island can influence performance. Choose materials that drain well and compact predictably for load-bearing surfaces, and avoid very fine materials where frost heave is a concern. We can help you choose materials that suit Dix Hills weather and soil conditions.
Bulk materials are used for many jobs, including driveways, patios, walkways, drainage swales, garden beds, and base layers for pavers or sheds. Both small DIY landscaping projects and large contractor jobs are supported—pick the material and quantity that match the project's function. If you are unsure, describe the project and we will recommend suitable material choices.
A simple way to estimate is to calculate the volume: length x width x depth (in feet), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. One cubic yard generally covers about 100 sq ft at a 3-inch depth, but coverage changes with depth and material type. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a tailored estimate.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); schedule your preferred date at checkout and we will confirm availability. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and cannot be guaranteed.
Our minimum order is 3 tons; pricing is usually quoted per ton or per cubic yard and depends on material type, quantity, and local supplier rates. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but final cost depends on your zip code and delivery options. Use the website to check pricing for Dix Hills (zip 11746) or request a quote for an exact price.
Permits or approvals may be required for substantial driveway work, curb cuts, retaining walls, or changes that affect stormwater; local rules vary by town and by any applicable HOA. Check with the Town of Huntington building or highway department and your HOA before you start. If you need help understanding local requirements, our team can point you to the right local office.
Focus on function first: drainage, compaction, load-bearing capacity, and finish appearance. Finer materials settle and level easier but can compact poorly under heavy loads; angular materials lock together and resist movement. If aesthetics matter, ask about color and local sourcing—materials in Dix Hills reflect local geology and may vary in shade and texture.
Spring through fall is generally best for major installations to avoid frozen ground and winter salt exposure, and to make grading and compaction easier. Winter deliveries are possible but can face delays, access issues, and harder ground for spreading. Plan ahead—book peak-season deliveries early and allow extra lead time for weather-sensitive projects.

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.
