Why Hancock Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hancock is a community of 1,840 residents located within a broader metro area of 2.3+ million people, and a steady annual growth rate of 0.40% annually points to ongoing, measured demand for home improvements and small-scale construction. That kind of steady growth typically drives projects such as driveway repairs, patio upgrades, garden renovations, and targeted infrastructure maintenance rather than rapid subdivision-level building. With about 228 sunny days each year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b, local homeowners need materials that balance sun exposure with episodic moisture: stable base mixes for driveways and paths, erosion-control aggregates for slopes, moisture-retentive mulches for planting beds, and consistent topsoil for grading. Because regional sourcing reflects local geology, choosing quality bulk materials suited to Hancock’s conditions helps projects perform longer and cuts down on costly rework.Popular Projects in Hancock This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hancock Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hancock.
Homeowners and contractors in Hancock commonly order a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, drainage, and landscaping. These materials are used for base layers, top dressing, backfill and erosion control depending on project needs. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color may vary to match local geology.
Choose materials based on function: stable, angular aggregates for driveways and bases; finer mixes for leveling and bedding; and heavier rock or stone for erosion control and drainage. Consider load, drainage needs, and appearance when selecting a material and consult the material calculator or our sales team for guidance. Where possible, think in layers (base, intermediate, surface) rather than a single material for best long-term performance.
Hancock’s cold winters and spring freeze-thaw cycles can cause shifting and settling, so plan major earthwork for late spring through early fall when ground is thawed and dryer. Choose materials that handle freeze-thaw well and promote drainage to reduce frost heave and erosion. Schedule delivery and installation to avoid wet or frozen conditions that make compaction and grading difficult.
Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle) and you can choose your preferred delivery date at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and should be requested in Order Notes, but it is not guaranteed.
Minimum orders start at 3 tons for most locations, which covers many small landscaping jobs. Delivery fees depend on your zip code, access, and truck routing; some very rural or hard-to-reach areas around Hancock may incur an additional charge. If your site is on a narrow road, steep drive, or long driveway, contact our team so we can assess access and give an accurate quote.
Typical quantities vary by project: driveway resurfacing often needs 3-10 cubic yards (roughly 4-12 tons) for a single-car driveway resurfaced 3-6 inches deep, while a new or wider driveway can require 10-20 cubic yards (12-24 tons). Small patios and walkways commonly use 1-4 cubic yards, and drainage trenches or dry wells are calculated by trench length and depth—measure and use our calculator or call for a quick estimate. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading waste.
Some suppliers and haulers may add fees for remote, seasonal, or difficult-to-access locations due to longer travel times or safety concerns. Areas with narrow roads, low bridges, or unplowed winter access are most likely to have surcharges or restricted delivery windows. If you live outside Hancock’s central area, check delivery availability and any extra charges when you get a quote.
Sites near water or on slopes need materials that promote stable drainage and resist erosion, such as heavier stone for channel protection and well-graded mixes for slope stabilization. Always consider local setbacks, riparian buffers, and landscaping that slows runoff; combining vegetation with appropriate aggregates gives the best results. For shoreline or stream-bank work, check local regulations and consult a pro for engineered solutions.
Some contractors bring their own materials, but many welcome direct material deliveries to the job site when coordinated in advance. Hello Gravel makes it easy for homeowners and contractors to order and schedule deliveries from local suppliers; if working with a contractor, confirm material type, delivery timing, and placement responsibilities. We can also provide material recommendations to match contractor specifications.
The best time to schedule deliveries for most outdoor projects in Hancock is late spring through early fall when ground and weather are more predictable and dryer. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during freeze-thaw seasons, heavy rain windows, or mid-winter when roads may be icy and compaction is difficult. If you need a specific date, choose a preferred delivery window at checkout and contact our team early to confirm site access and any seasonal restrictions.
Permit needs vary by job: driveway reconstruction, work near wetlands or streams, and significant grading can require town or county permits in the Hancock area, so check with Hancock town offices or Delaware County before you start. Also confirm any HOA rules, driveway easements, or utility location requirements before delivery. If you’re unsure, our sales team can remind you of common local checks, but final responsibility for permits rests with the customer.
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.

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.
