Choose materials and assemblies that drain well and resist breaking down in freeze-thaw conditions. Stable, angular aggregates used as base layers with proper compaction and good site drainage perform better than softer, fine materials; top surface choices should tolerate moisture and salt exposure. Our team can help match a material group to your local climate and use case.

Delivery radius depends on the local supplier but commonly ranges from about 10 to 50 miles from the source.

Late spring through early fall is generally the best window for delivering and installing aggregates to avoid frozen ground and excessive moisture. Avoid deliveries during thaw periods, heavy rains, or when the ground is saturated, as compaction and grading work can be compromised. If you need work outside those months, ask our team about timing and preparation tips.

Contractor pricing commonly includes separate line items for site prep (grading, excavation), material (per cubic yard), hauling (truck fee or per-ton transport), and installation (labor or per-square-foot). Additional charges can appear for disposal, traffic control, permit work, or difficult access. Ask for itemized estimates so you can compare materials and labor choices clearly.

Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries, landscape suppliers, and haulers so you can compare options without calling multiple vendors. Some homeowners also source materials from big-box stores for small orders, but for bulk deliveries our platform typically offers more convenient scheduling and transparent deliver pricing.

City permits or restrictions can apply for driveway changes, curb cuts, significant grading, or work that affects stormwater runoff. Madison Heights may have rules on driveway widths, setbacks, and erosion control, and heavy truck access can be restricted on some streets. Check with Madison Heights city offices or your contractor before scheduling delivery to avoid delays.

For drainage, use well-draining aggregates and design that directs water away from structures; for patios choose stable, compactable base layers and a durable surface that tolerates freeze-thaw. Low-maintenance landscaping favors mixes that suppress weeds, allow surface water infiltration, and need little seasonal upkeep. We can recommend material groups that fit each application and local climate considerations.

Many suppliers offer better unit pricing for larger orders and contractor accounts. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and deeper discounts commonly appear for orders of 10 tons or more depending on material and supplier. Contact our team for contractor pricing, bulk discount thresholds, and to discuss frequent-delivery arrangements.

Calculate volume in cubic yards by multiplying length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) and dividing by 27 (cubic feet per cubic yard). Typical local depths to use as a starting point are 4-8 inches for base layers on driveways, 2-3 inches for surface layers, 4-6 inches for patio bases, and 2-3 inches for planting bed topdressings. Use our online material calculator or contact our team to convert volumes to tons and to account for compaction and waste.

Dump trucks are typically tri-axle and require clear access, adequate turnaround space, and no low-hanging wires. Tell us where you want material placed and note obstacles in Order Notes; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but cannot always do so safely. We will confirm delivery details after you place your order and the driver will assess the site on arrival.

If your delivery appears different from expectations or there is a service issue, contact our customer service as soon as possible so we can work with the supplier and hauler to find a solution. We document issues, assess options, and guide you through next steps; see our policies for details on refunds and claims. Timely photos and descriptions help speed resolution.
