Bulk gravel, sand, fill dirt & topsoil delivery in Leeds, ME

For most landscaping and construction jobs, bulk delivery is more cost-effective for larger areas because it reduces packaging and handling fees. Bagged products can work well for small jobs, tight storage spaces, or precise measurements. Check your project size, storage access, and minimum order (Hello Gravel generally requires 3 tons) before choosing.

Prices vary by material type, local supply, and delivery distance, so exact costs are best obtained with a quote. For planning, note that 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and often weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a local quote to see clear per-yard and per-ton pricing for your zip code.

A practical rule of thumb for mulch and similar surface materials is to apply roughly 3 inches of depth for good coverage, keep material a few inches away from plant stems and tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup, and refresh or top up annually or as needed. Adjust depth based on plant type, slope, and local conditions in Leeds’s climate.

Dump truck sizes vary, but residential haulers commonly use tri-axle trucks that can carry multiple cubic yards per load. The exact quantity depends on the truck size and material density; Hello Gravel will show available truck options and estimated cubic yard delivery when you get a quote so you can plan accordingly.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 108 sq ft at a 3-inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, or 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because weight per cubic yard varies by material, a ton covers different areas depending on density; use cubic yards for the most reliable coverage estimates and convert to tons using our calculator if needed.

Price depends on the material type, distance from the local supplier, access to your site, and truck size. Seasonal demand, disposal or permit requirements, and any requested services like tailgate spreading can also change the price; request a quote for transparent, itemized costs for your address.

Cost per ton varies by material and region, so use it as a planning metric rather than a fixed rule. For budgeting, get per-ton and per-yard quotes from Hello Gravel, factor in delivery fees and minimum order sizes, and remember that regional sourcing means local geology can affect both price and weight.

Start by matching material properties to the project: choose stable, load-bearing mixes for driveways; free-draining mixes for drainage projects; and finer, decorative mixes for garden beds. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw in West Maine), desired appearance, and maintenance needs, then use our material quiz or consult the sales team for recommendations tailored to your site.

Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can pick a preferred delivery date at checkout, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—however, spreading is not guaranteed.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched, and we will try to accommodate requests. If there’s an issue after delivery, reach customer service with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve it; check our policies for refund and claim procedures.

Our pricing is competitive with local quarries and landscape supply yards, and delivery is included. No trips to the store, no rental trucks, no loading bags yourself.

Order by noon on a weekday and we deliver the next business day. You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we confirm availability based on your location.
