Hello Gravel's minimum order is generally 3 tons, and many areas offer free or included standard delivery within a nearby radius. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Exact delivery charges depend on your zip code, material, and access to the drop site.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading and compaction services are not guaranteed. Request spreading in Order Notes at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival; for full spreading or compaction, consider hiring a local contractor and request an on-site quote.

Choose materials with good drainage and stable particle sizes to reduce frost heave in Maine's freeze-thaw cycles. Generally, well-graded aggregates that promote drainage and resist movement are recommended; our team can advise material choices based on the project type and local conditions.

Winter can limit quarry operations, affect trucking access, and increase costs due to weather delays, while spring thaw may add scheduling and site-preparation challenges. Plan ahead for spring and winter projects, order early for delivery windows, and consult our team about the best timing for your specific project.

Clear a safe drop zone, mark utilities, and provide unobstructed access for a tri-axle dump truck. Tell us about low wires, steep drives, or tight turns in Order Notes; drivers will assess access on arrival and may decline unsafe drops, so sharing photos and details at checkout helps avoid surprises.

Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. We will do our best to accommodate requests before processing and dispatch, but changes are subject to supplier and hauling schedules and cannot be guaranteed once the load is in transit.
