1 1/2" Red Slate
Inch-and-a-half red slate is a flat, angular crushed slate in warm brick-red and terracotta, mixed with dusty rose and mauve pieces and the occasional gray-green or charcoal contrast stone. Its natural platy, layered shape and rich color bring warmth to beds, borders, and accent areas, and the flat pieces knit together and stay put better than rounded stone. Hello Gravel delivers it in bulk across the Amherst–Northampton area.

Hello Gravel Guarantee
Right material. Safe delivery. Real help if we miss.
How it works
- We fix what we control. Wrong material, confirmed fulfillment errors, or orders we cannot complete are reviewed for replacement, refund, or another fair resolution.
- Safe delivery comes first. The driver chooses the final safe dump location on site. If your requested spot is not safely reachable, we deliver to the closest safe location available.
- Plans change. You can cancel free up to one full business day before delivery. Next-business-day orders cannot be cancelled once confirmed.
- Natural material varies. Color, texture, moisture, dust, and sizing can vary by quarry, supplier, season, and region.
“We chose a delivery date. The driver dropped it exactly where I asked. I had never ordered gravel in my life.”

They called to make sure I ordered the correct amount, then on delivery day they were running a little late and let me know. The driver was great, he told me exactly how he was going to drop the load on my marked spot and did so with great aim.
