Why Richmond Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richmond Hill is a community of 72,970 residents experiencing steady, measured growth at 0.40% annually — a pace that usually means steady renovation and gradual new construction rather than a building boom. That steady demand translates into ongoing needs for a range of bulk materials: clean aggregates for drainage, sand and fine screenings for grading, topsoil and amended soils for planting beds, and harder materials for durable hardscapes. Richmond Hill's climate — roughly 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 33.50 inches — and its placement in hardiness zone 8b shape those needs: homeowners and contractors prioritize materials that manage runoff, retain moisture where needed, and resist UV and weathering. In this environment, sourcing consistent, regionally appropriate bulk supplies makes projects more predictable and longer lasting, whether you are stabilizing a slope, building a patio base, or refreshing garden soil.Popular Projects in Richmond Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richmond Hill Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Richmond Hill.
Start by matching material performance to the job: consider load (cars vs foot traffic), drainage needs, and the look you want. For long-lasting results use a stable base layer capped with a material that compacts well and sheds water; many homeowners combine different aggregates for base and surface. Use our material quiz and calculator to narrow options, and contact our team if you want a recommendation based on your site conditions.
Richmond Hill sees freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal precipitation that can move, settle, or freeze moisture in materials. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist frost heave, such as well-graded aggregates and proper base preparation. Timely maintenance and correct grading will extend performance through rainy seasons and cold weather.
Some streets and neighborhoods have local rules about truck access, parking, or blocking a roadway, and very large deliveries can require permits or temporary parking exceptions. Weight limits and narrow streets may restrict truck size, so share site details and any known restrictions when ordering. We recommend checking with your HOA or local authorities if you think the delivery will need a street closure or special permit.
Our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks, which need clear turning radius and overhead clearance. Make sure driveways, gates, and access points are free of obstacles and let us know about tight streets, low branches, or soft ground. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion based on safety and site conditions.
Spring and summer are busiest for landscaping, so book early for those seasons to secure preferred dates and materials. Late fall and winter often have lower demand and sometimes better availability or pricing, though weather can affect delivery timing and the ability to place or spread material. If you need fast delivery, next-day options are available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
For slopes, use a combination of stable aggregates for drainage layers, geotextile fabric to separate soils, and surface material that resists movement. Incorporating vegetation, retaining edges, or small retaining walls along with properly placed drainage rock or sand can dramatically reduce erosion. The right combination depends on slope steepness, soil type, and runoff volume, so consult our team for tailored guidance.
Urban and suburban sites around Richmond Hill often have variable subgrades, including compacted fill, sandy patches, or organic topsoil, which affect drainage and compaction. Poor or soft subgrade usually requires a stronger base or soil replacement before placing surface material to prevent settling and rutting. We recommend a simple site inspection or soil test for larger projects to determine if base work is needed.
Many HOAs and some city regulations set standards for exterior appearance, color, and permitted materials, so always check your HOA rules and local ordinances before ordering. Restrictions may apply to driveway surfaces, front-yard materials, and curbside storage during delivery. When in doubt, contact your HOA or local building office and add any requirements to your Order Notes at checkout.
Local suppliers and contractors often bundle material delivery with optional services like spreading, grading, compaction, erosion control, or installation of edging and fabric. Hello Gravel connects you with haulers and suppliers; many local partners provide one‑stop options but availability varies by zip code and site conditions. Request bundled services in the order process and confirm scope and pricing with the supplier before delivery.
Use our online material calculator and the aggregate quiz to convert your project dimensions into required tons or cubic yards and account for compaction and slope. As a general guideline, one cubic yard of many aggregates typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons, but actual weight varies by material and moisture content. If you are unsure, provide project dimensions or photos and our team can help refine the estimate.
Natural materials vary by local geology, so color, texture, and particle size may differ from photos or samples; this is normal with regional sourcing. If the delivered material is substantially different from your order, contact our customer service promptly with photos and order details so we can work to resolve the issue. For future orders, add color or texture preferences to Order Notes to help suppliers match expectations where possible.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will make best efforts to accommodate modifications, but once a truck is scheduled or the supplier has loaded materials, changes may be limited. Review our order confirmation for next steps and reach out to customer support if you need help.
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.
