For driveways in Brooklyn, a compactable base of 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crusher-run is common, topped with #57 stone or pea gravel for drainage and appearance. For patios and paver bases use 3/8u0022 screenings or stone dust for leveling, with 3/8u0022 to 1/2u0022 crushed stone as a drainage layer; regional mixes may vary, so request local supplier specs.

Deliveries to Brooklyn are typically by tri-axle dump truck and billed by ton or by the truckload; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. Many orders meet free standard delivery depending on supplier and location, while small orders, tight access, or next-day delivery can incur extra fees; exact delivery fees are shown at checkout or on your quote.

A 20x10 ft area equals 200 sq ft. At 3u0022 depth you need about 2.6 tons, at 4u0022 about 3.5 tons, and at 6u0022 about 5.2 tons using a typical crushed stone density; round up for compaction and waste and note Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum means a 3u0022 installation usually requires ordering 3 tons. We recommend ordering 10% extra for spreading and uneven subgrade, and confirm density with your supplier if using recycled or specialty stone.

Yes. New curb cuts or new vehicle access from the street generally require a curb cut permit from NYC DOT and may involve Department of Buildings rules if you alter the sidewalk or roadway. Always check NYC DOT and DOB requirements before installing material in the public right-of-way, and contact your local community board or Hello Gravel for guidance on permitting and best practices.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers around Brooklyn and the New York-Newark metro, and recycled crushed concrete or reclaimed asphalt is often available as a lower-cost, sustainable option. For commercial bulk pricing or recycled material requests, ask for those options when you request a quote so we can match you with nearby suppliers that carry recycled stone.

Brooklyn sees freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain events, so choose angular, well-graded stone that compacts and drains well to avoid frost heave and pooling. Include a proper subbase, slope for runoff, and a drainage layer (larger crushed stone) under the surface; consult your supplier about local mixes suited to NYC conditions.

Measure your driveway and clear a path before delivery, note utility poles, low branches, and narrow alleys, and add access notes at checkout so the hauler can plan the drop. If tailgate spreading is needed, request it at checkout but understand drivers perform it at their discretion; for tight sites consider hiring local labor to move and spread material after delivery.
