Gravel & stone delivery in York Harbor, ME

Prices vary by material type, quantity, and delivery distance. To estimate cost, get a local quote that includes material price plus delivery and any fees; factors like season and truck access can change the price. Use our online calculator or contact the team with your zip code for a tailored estimate.

Use volume to plan and weight to price—one cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. Different materials weigh different amounts, but a common rule of thumb is about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for many aggregates; densities can range from about 0.8 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. For accuracy, calculate cubic yards first (length x width x depth(in) / 324) and then multiply by a material-specific tons-per-yard factor.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks, which often carry roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards depending on load and local regulations. Weight varies by material, so a truckload could range widely in tons. If you need an exact capacity for planning, ask for the truck type and capacity when you get a quote.

To find volume, 10 cubic yards is 270 cubic feet. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by your chosen material's tons-per-yard factor (commonly around 1.2), so 10 cubic yards is roughly 12 tons for many materials. Exact coverage depends on depth: use the cubic yard formula to size your project, then request a precise tons estimate for your selected material.

Calculate area (length x width) and decide on depth to get cubic yards: cubic yards = (length(ft) x width(ft) x depth(in)) / 324. For a 1,000 ft driveway at 10 ft wide and 3 in deep, that equals about 93 cubic yards; then convert to tons using the material's tons-per-yard factor.

Coverage depends on material density and desired depth. A helpful approach is to calculate cubic yards needed, then convert to tons: cubic yards = (area sq ft x depth in) / 324, and tons = cubic yards x material tons-per-yard. As a rough example, one ton might cover roughly 50 to 150 square feet depending on depth and the material's weight; request a precise estimate for your chosen aggregate.

Standard delivery is generally 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers, and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will only perform it at their discretion and no spreading guarantee is provided.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons. If you need to modify or cancel, contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier before the order is dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Any changes depend on supplier and truck scheduling, so act quickly for the best chance to adjust your order.

Choose based on function: drainage and base layers often use crushed stone, finishing surfaces may use finer gravel or sand, and dirt is used for grading or topsoil needs. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw near the coast), load requirements, aesthetics, and maintenance when selecting materials. If you are unsure, use the material quiz or contact our team with your project details for personalized guidance.

Materials reflect local geology, so color, texture, and particle size can vary across deliveries. Regional sourcing means the material in York Harbor may differ from online images; you can note color or size preferences in your order notes, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If the material seems significantly different from what you expected, contact customer service and review our delivery and refund guidance.
