Gravel, Sand & Bulk Material Delivery in Shirley, ME

Prices vary by material type, season, quantity, and delivery distance from local suppliers. For a firm delivered price to zip 04441, request a quote on our site — quotes show material, haul, and any fees so you know the total cost up front. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum on most orders; smaller deliveries may not be available in every area.

Per-ton pricing depends on the material type, local quarry or supplier rates, fuel and trucking distance, and order size. Regional demand and seasonal conditions in West Maine can also affect price, so ordering larger quantities or scheduling off-peak delivery often reduces the per-ton cost.

Truck capacities vary by truck and material, but a typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 12–16 cubic yards or about 12–14 tons of common aggregates. Your order confirmation will list the truck type and estimated loads so you can plan placement and access.

Calculate cubic yards: length (ft) × width (ft) × depth (ft) ÷ 27. For a 20' × 200' driveway: at 3u0022 (0.25 ft) you need about 37 cubic yards; at 6u0022 (0.5 ft) about 74 cubic yards. Convert to tons using a typical factor (around 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard) for an estimate, then request a quote or use our material calculator for a precise number.

Minimum orders are generally 3 tons; single-yard deliveries are not guaranteed and depend on local supplier and truck availability in Shirley. Delivery fees vary by zip code and material; check zip 04441 at checkout for exact minimums and any carrier fees.

For freeze-thaw and winter traction, many customers choose coarser, well-draining aggregates and stable base materials that compact well and resist washouts. These characteristics can increase cost compared with finer or loose materials, so balance winter performance with budget and ask our team for recommendations based on local conditions.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Weekend or specific-time deliveries may be available depending on local haulers — choose your preferred date at checkout and we'll confirm available options.

Yes. Our online quotes can break out material cost, haul, and optional services like tailgate spreading when available. Note that tailgate spreading is performed at the driver's discretion for safety and site conditions, so any spreading line item reflects a requested service rather than a guaranteed outcome.

We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, and Apple Pay through our secure checkout. Deposits or full payment may be required at booking for large or scheduled deliveries; specific payment terms are shown during checkout and on your quote.

Contact our team as soon as possible — changes are easiest to accommodate before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to modify or cancel orders but ability to do so depends on supplier and carrier schedules; check your order confirmation for next steps.

Because we source regionally, color, texture, and sizing can vary from photos and samples; this is normal for natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If the delivered material is unsatisfactory, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue in line with our policies.
