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.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
#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.
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.
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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Princeton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Princeton has a city population of 48,199, and a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually—a level of expansion that typically drives consistent demand for home renovations, infill projects, and outdoor upgrades rather than boom-or-bust construction. With a metro area population of 2.5+ million nearby, local supply and delivery networks must balance neighborhood-scale work with regional logistics. The local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days/year, and annual rainfall of 34.32 inches—support diverse plantings and outdoor living spaces but also create specific material needs: stable base materials and drainage aggregates to manage stormwater, quality topsoil and organic mixes for planting, and weather-resistant mulches and sands for long-term performance. Homeowners and contractors in Princeton increasingly prioritize properly graded, locally sourced bulk materials that reduce maintenance and stand up to seasonal wear.Popular Projects in Princeton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Princeton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Princeton.
Homeowners and contractors in Princeton commonly use a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, pathways, and garden beds. The best choice depends on function—drainage, load-bearing, or appearance—so pick materials that match the job and local soil and climate conditions.
Consider project purpose (drainage, stability, or decorative), local freeze-thaw cycles, and whether the area gets wet or freezes frequently. In general, choose materials that drain well for soggy sites, angular aggregates for compaction where vehicles travel, and finer mixes for planting beds; local geology and regional sourcing will affect texture and color.
Avoid scheduling major deliveries during extended freeze-thaw periods, heavy rain, or when the ground is saturated to reduce tracking and compaction issues. Late spring through early fall is typically best for landscaping and hardscape work, but projects can be done year-round with proper planning and site protection.
Repeated freezing and thawing can shift loose materials and cause settling, and certain soils may retain water and reduce drainage. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and stable compaction, and plan for added maintenance after winter in areas prone to frost heave.
Recycled and reclaimed options are often available through local suppliers and can be a cost-effective and sustainable choice for many projects. Quality and consistency vary more than with virgin materials, so request details about gradation, contaminants, and use cases before ordering.
Some projects—especially driveway replacements, curb cuts, or deliveries that block streets—may require a permit from Princeton municipal authorities, and many HOAs have rules about material appearance or delivery timing. Check local building department requirements and your HOA guidelines before ordering to avoid delays.
Contractors typically measure the project area and depth, convert to cubic yards, and then account for compaction and waste to determine the final quantity. Hello Gravel provides a material calculator to help convert area and depth into tons or yards, and your contractor can confirm the final amount based on local practices.
Note narrow streets, low-hanging branches, curb restrictions, and limited parking when selecting a delivery location; tri-axle dump trucks are used for most deliveries and need clear access. Provide delivery notes at checkout, consider temporary parking or lane closure permits if needed, and mark the preferred drop spot to avoid delays.
Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before the cutoff and may carry an extra fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout, and drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion—no spreading guarantees are provided.
Materials designed for drainage and erosion control are typically coarser and free-draining, while mixes for surface stability may include finer components for compaction. For slopes and erosion-prone areas, use materials and installation methods that increase infiltration and anchor the surface, and consult a professional for steeper or high-traffic sites.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
