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.
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 Merrick Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Merrick, with a population of 35,670, is a community where steady growth and day-to-day homeowner projects shape local demand for bulk landscape and construction materials. A growth rate of 0.40% annually points to modest, sustained development rather than a boom, which usually means steady demand for repairs, yard upgrades, driveway work, and small-scale additions rather than large subdivisions. The region’s climate — about 228 sunny days a year and roughly 33.50 inches of rainfall in a USDA hardiness zone of 8b — means materials must perform in both sun and rain. Homeowners and contractors here commonly need aggregates, soils, sands, and mulches that balance drainage and moisture retention, resist washout during storms, and support plantings through long sunny stretches. Given the broader metro population of 2.3+ million nearby, there’s regional supplier capacity, but local material characteristics still matter for long-term performance and lower maintenance costs.Popular Projects in Merrick This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Merrick Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Merrick.
Start by defining the purpose: drainage, ground cover, base material, or aesthetic finishing. Consider local conditions such as Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles and salt from winter roads, then pick a material with the needed drainage, compaction, and appearance characteristics. Use Hello Gravel's material quiz and calculator or contact our sales team for guidance based on your project size and site conditions.
Choose materials based on function rather than name: durable, well-draining mixes for driveways; a stable, compactable base for patios; and free-draining blends for channeling water. In Merrick's coastal/Long Island climate look for materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles and road salt exposure. If unsure, describe your project to our team and we will recommend options that balance durability, drainage, and appearance.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and convert to cubic yards (or use our online calculator). As a rule of thumb plan for a little extra to allow for compaction and grading. Note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; contact us if you need help turning your measurements into an order quantity.
Make sure a dump truck can reach or safely access a nearby staging area: check gate width, driveway slope, turnaround room, and overhead wires or low branches. Protect lawns and paved surfaces from heavy truck traffic and mark the preferred drop location in advance. If the truck must block a public street or requires special maneuvering, allow extra time and consider whether permits are needed.
Most on-property deliveries do not require a permit, but permits may be needed if delivery will block a public road, require curb cuts, or involve significant grading or drainage changes. For public right-of-way work or larger commercial projects check with the Village of Merrick or Nassau County building and public works departments. When in doubt, contact local authorities or ask our team for guidance before scheduling delivery.
Spring and fall are often best for landscaping and grading because the ground is workable and weather is milder, while summer can be busy and winter brings freeze-thaw and salt concerns. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during heavy rain or shortly before a storm, as delivery and compaction can be affected. Contractors often recommend planning projects in advance and booking delivery dates early during peak seasons.
Hello Gravel sources materials locally, so color, texture, and exact composition will reflect Long Island geology and regional suppliers. These natural variations are normal and do not necessarily indicate inferior quality, but they can affect appearance and drainage characteristics. If color or texture is important, note preferences at checkout and contact customer service if you have concerns after delivery.
You will receive a delivery window and the driver will typically place material by dump truck. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion; inspect the load on arrival and contact customer service promptly if there are issues or if material differs from expectations.
Compare bids by looking at material performance for your use, delivered quantity, and any added services like spreading or disposal. Delivery distance, volume, and access complexity affect price more than the material name alone, so ask for itemized quotes. Use our material calculator and request quotes from Hello Gravel to compare total delivered cost and expected lifespan or maintenance needs.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier to make before the supplier and truck are assigned. While we will do our best to accommodate requests, modifications depend on processing stage and cannot be guaranteed. For last-minute changes or delivery day problems, reach out to customer service immediately so we can explore options.
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.

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!
