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.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Road Base

Why Brainard Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brainard (population 153) sits within the West Oneonta area of the West New York metro, which has a broader regional population of 2.3+ million. With a modest growth rate of 0.40% annually, demand for small-scale residential improvements and measured new construction is steady rather than explosive—think routine driveway repairs, garden renovations, and occasional home additions rather than large subdivisions. The local climate—about 228 sunny days and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b—means homeowners need materials that balance drainage and durability. In practical terms, this drives interest in reliable base materials for driveways and patios, erosion-control solutions for sloped yards, and quality topsoils and mulches for longer planting seasons. Regional sourcing also matters: locally quarried and dug materials reflect the area’s geology and often perform better in nearby soil and weather conditions.Popular Projects in Brainard This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brainard Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Brainard.
Start with the job: load-bearing surfaces need compactable base material, drainage areas need coarse, free-draining material, and decorative areas prioritize appearance. In Brainard's regional climate choose materials that resist freeze-thaw movement and match local soil behavior; our quiz and sales team can help narrow options among gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch, and compost. If you are unsure, request a consultation or sample before ordering.
For beds, a mix of organic material and a stable mineral layer is often best: compost or mulch adds nutrients and moisture retention while an underlying layer of coarse mineral material improves drainage. In Brainard's weather, choose a durable top layer that tolerates wet springs and cold winters and consider local sourcing because texture and color can vary. Ask our team for guidance on blends that suit your plant types and site conditions.
Bulk is usually more cost-effective for medium to large projects due to lower packaging and handling costs, but savings depend on material type, delivery distance, and required quantities. For small quantities, bags may be more convenient despite higher per-unit cost. Use our material calculator to compare volume needs and get a local quote to see the real price difference for Brainard-area deliveries.
Measure the area (length x width) and the desired depth, then convert to cubic yards; our online calculator can convert between cubic yards and tons for common materials. Remember that compaction and settling mean ordering a small overage (typically 5-10%) for base and fill materials. If you need help, send dimensions and project type to our team for a quick estimate.
Cubic yards measure volume and tons measure weight; different materials have different densities so one ton does not equal one cubic yard. For most landscaping projects homeowners think in cubic yards, but our checkout lets you view both and converts based on regional material densities. If you prefer, tell us the depth and area and we will recommend the proper units to order.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery as an option for orders placed before noon CST at an extra cost. Deliveries use contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle); we confirm your time window and delivery location before dispatch. Check your zip code or contact our team to confirm availability within the Brainard service area.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, job access, and local rules. If you want spreading, request it at checkout and note site conditions; the driver will assess feasibility on arrival. For larger spreading needs consider hiring a local contractor.
Because we source regionally, color, grain size, and texture can vary between deliveries and suppliers; photos are illustrative but not exact matches. Local geology and seasonal conditions also affect material performance, so mention color or texture preferences in Order Notes. If appearance is critical, request a sample or ask for product details before ordering.
Contact our team as soon as possible after placing the order; modifications are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Changes may be limited once trucks are scheduled, and additional fees can apply. For fastest service call our sales line or text the number in your order confirmation.
Common projects include driveway bases, patio and paver beds, garden top-dressing, drainage trenches, and site grading. Typical estimates: 2-4 cubic yards for small raised beds, 6-12 cubic yards for a residential driveway base depending on area and depth, and larger contractor jobs require custom quotes. Use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a tailored quantity estimate.
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.
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
