Materials Available for Delivery
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.

Why Milford Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Milford is a small but active community (city population: 1,820) inside a broader metropolitan region (metro area population: 2.6+ million). That steady 1.20% annually growth translates to gradual, reliable demand for home upgrades, yard projects, and localized construction rather than sudden booms — homeowners and small contractors are more often improving properties than rebuilding them. Milford’s climate (hardiness zone 8b, 228/year sunny days, and 35.50 inches annual rainfall) supports a long outdoor season but also creates specific needs: soils and surfaces must balance drainage with moisture retention, hardscape bases need to resist occasional heavy rains, and landscaping choices favor plants and mulches suited to extended sun exposure. For homeowners this means buying the right quantities and gradations of bulk materials — from topsoil blends and sand to drainage rock and mulch — so projects perform well in local conditions and avoid costly rework.Popular Projects in Milford This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Milford Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Milford.
Choose materials based on use and drainage rather than one "best" product. For most driveways and paths in and around Milford, a compactable base topped with aggregate is common; consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group when weighing cost, appearance, and drainage. Contractors often recommend a thicker, well-compacted base for vehicle traffic and a finer surface for walkways to aid in stability and comfort.
Freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs in Milford can cause settling, frost heave, and erosion if materials are not installed with proper drainage and compaction. Using materials that shed water and installing a stabilized base layer will reduce movement over time; regional sourcing means texture and color may vary. Plan for slightly deeper bases and proper grading in cold, wet seasons to protect your project.
The most reliable months for deliveries and installations are late spring through early fall when ground is drier and freezing is unlikely. Avoid major earthwork during thaw periods or extended wet spells, which can lead to ruts and poor compaction when dump trucks arrive. For urgent work, next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST, but check local ground conditions first.
Yes, local suppliers in the Milford area generally deliver to both residential and rural addresses, but access issues can limit service. Common restrictions include narrow lanes, low-hanging wires, soft or muddy driveways, weight limits on private roads, and cul-de-sac turning constraints; drivers will assess site safety on arrival. Provide clear delivery instructions and photos when ordering to help us match the right truck and avoid delays.
Calculate volume in cubic yards first: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) divided by 27 equals cubic yards. Convert to tons by using a general conversion range since densities vary by material; a common rule is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material, so round up for waste and compaction. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons, which covers many small projects. Standard delivery typically needs at least 2 business days lead time, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries arrive by dump truck and drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed.
Milford's local soils and drainage patterns will influence whether you need a permeable surface, thicker base, or additional drainage features. Soils with poor drainage often require more granular base material and positive grading to divert water away from structures. Mention any known low spots or seasonal pooling when ordering so the supplier can recommend materials and quantities that suit your site.
Permit needs and HOA rules vary by township and neighborhood around Milford, so check with Milford city hall, the county highway department, or your HOA before starting large projects. Driveway replacements that change entry points, slope, or runoff may require permits or inspections. If you anticipate curb cuts or truck staging on public streets, ask about street-use or right-of-way permits early in planning.
Labor and installation costs depend on project scope, access, material type, and local contractor rates; small DIY projects will be cheaper but take more time. For larger jobs, get multiple contractor quotes that separate material, hauling, earthwork, and compacting so you can compare costs transparently. Hello Gravel provides clear pricing for materials and delivery so you can pair that with contractor bids to set a realistic budget.
Longevity varies by material, traffic, and drainage; properly installed surfaces with good drainage can last many years but often need periodic maintenance like regrading, topping up, and occasional compaction. Surfaces in freeze-thaw zones or poor drainage areas may require more frequent attention to fix potholes or rutting. Plan for annual inspections and budget for topping up or minor repairs every few years depending on use.
You choose your preferred delivery date during checkout and receive a confirmation; standard lead times and next-day options apply. Provide site notes and photos at order time to flag tight turns, driveway restrictions, or preferred drop locations so we can match the right truck and driver. Contact customer service promptly if you need to change your delivery; we will do our best to accommodate requests before dispatch.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
