Materials Available for Delivery
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
#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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why New Ulm Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Ulm, with a city population of 15,390 and sitting inside a wider metro area with a population of 2.5+ million, is seeing modest, steady demand for home improvement and small-scale construction as its population grows at 0.40% annually. That steady growth typically means ongoing, predictable projects—driveway repairs, landscape upgrades, and yard drainage work—rather than a sudden building boom. Local climate and geography — about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b — favor materials that balance drainage, freeze-thaw resilience, and UV exposure resistance. Homeowners are prioritizing durable bases, erosion control, and soil health; choosing regionally sourced gravel, sand, topsoil mixes, and mulches that match seasonal conditions helps reduce maintenance and extend project life. New Ulm’s combination of sunny stretches, moderate annual rainfall, and seasonal temperature swings creates practical requirements for material performance. Aggregates need to shed water yet resist erosion, soils should retain moisture without becoming compacted, and base materials must be specified to limit frost heave. For homeowners, that translates to focusing on particle size, drainage characteristics, and local compatibility rather than aesthetic alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers and haulers, offering tools and guidance to calculate quantities, and helping schedule deliveries around weather so you get the right materials for New Ulm conditions.Popular Projects in New Ulm This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Ulm Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Ulm.
Choose materials that shed water, resist freeze-thaw cycles, and compact well. For most driveways and walkways consider well-graded aggregates combined with a stable base; gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blended mixes are commonly used. Good drainage, proper slope, and edge restraint are as important as the material itself for long-term performance. Ask our team for help selecting a material suited to your specific site and traffic level.
Look for materials with good drainage and interlock to limit movement during freeze-thaw cycles. Coarser, angular aggregates over a compacted base and proper grading reduce frost heave risk; geotextile fabrics can add stability on weaker soils. Consider material availability and local supplier recommendations since regional sourcing affects performance. Avoid relying on fine, loose materials alone in frost-prone areas.
Late spring through early fall is generally easiest for delivery and installation because ground is drier and frost is minimal. Winter and early spring can be challenging due to frozen or muddy conditions and limited contractor availability, though deliveries are still possible. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Plan projects with local weather and contractor schedules in mind and choose a delivery date during checkout.
Yes, many local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to rural addresses and subdivisions around New Ulm, but access and road conditions matter. Drivers need clear truck access, safe turnarounds, and adequate space for dumping; narrow lanes or low-hanging wires can limit placement options. Check your zip code for service availability and provide site details at checkout so we can confirm access. Minimum order sizes typically start at 3 tons.
Measure the project area (length x width) and decide the desired depth in feet to calculate cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Different materials have different weights and densities, so use our online calculator or contact our team to convert cubic yards to tons for pricing. Include delivery fees, optional spreading, cleanup, and any contractor labor when budgeting. If you are unsure, send photos and measurements to our sales team for a quick estimate.
Permit and HOA requirements vary based on project size, location, and whether you are changing driveways or altering drainage. Check with New Ulm city building and zoning offices and your homeowners association before ordering large quantities. If a permit is required, schedule delivery after permits are approved to avoid delays or rework. Our team can remind you to verify local rules but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.
Yes, many homeowners hire local contractors for installation and finishing work; some contractors will accept direct deliveries. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers, and you can coordinate a delivery time that works for your contractor. Always confirm the contractor's licensing and insurance and discuss placement and spreading responsibilities before delivery. If you want the driver to perform tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival.
Pricing and quality vary due to local geology, supply and demand, haul distance, and seasonal availability. Materials sourced closer to New Ulm tend to have lower hauling costs but may have different color or texture compared to materials from other areas. Truck access, load size, and optional services like spreading also affect quotes. Get a zip-code-specific quote for the most accurate pricing and to compare local options.
Assess slope, soil type, existing drainage patterns, and where water leaves the property before choosing materials. Using well-graded aggregates with proper sizing, combined with geotextile fabric and correct grading, helps reduce erosion and improve drainage. You may need permits for larger drainage modifications, and seasonal timing matters—install before heavy rainfall or spring thaw when possible. Consult our team or a local civil/landscape professional for designs on larger or high-risk sites.
Deliveries are typically made by contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle) and will be scheduled for the date you choose at checkout. Clear vehicle and pedestrian access, remove obstacles such as low branches or temporary fencing, and mark desired drop location if possible; the driver will confirm placement and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. We require 2+ business days for standard delivery and offer next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If site access is limited, contact our team before ordering so we can arrange an appropriate delivery plan.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. Changes are easiest to accommodate before the supplier processes or a truck is dispatched; once a load is on the road modifications may be limited. We will do our best to help but cannot guarantee all changes can be made. For urgent issues on delivery day, document concerns and contact customer service promptly.
Regional sourcing means material color, grain, and texture reflect local geology, so appearance and feel can vary from photos or samples. Performance differences are typically linked to gradation and particle shape rather than color—ask about material specs and typical local uses when deciding. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and our team will try to match requests when possible. If exact appearance is critical, request a small sample or ask about local supplier options.
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.
