Why Far Rockaway Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Far Rockaway is a community of 55,946 residents facing steady, incremental growth and the coastal challenges that come with it. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually, about 228 sunny days each year, and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and contractors here balance sun, storms, and shifting soils when planning outdoor projects. That mix of climate and development drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: grading for drainage, foundation backfill, raised beds, and patio bases all require consistent material and predictable delivery. Homeowners seek quality fill-dirt to avoid uneven settling, reduce erosion after storms, and create a stable base for landscaping and small builds—especially where local soils can be sandy or variable near the shore.Popular Projects in Far Rockaway This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Far Rockaway Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Far Rockaway.
A delivered truckload of loose fill dirt to Far Rockaway commonly ranges from about $300 to $700, depending on truck size and distance. Tight NYC lots, heavy moisture, or need for smaller trucks can push the price higher. For an exact number, request a delivered quote for your address.
Delivered fill dirt in the Far Rockaway area normally runs about $25 to $55 per cubic yard, varying with supplier, distance, and how wet or compacted the material is. Small-lot deliveries and quick turnarounds may raise the per-yard price. Use our checkout calculator or get a quote for a firm per-yard price.
A full tri-axle dump truck usually carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, but in tight Far Rockaway lots you'll often need smaller trucks. Standard 6-wheel trucks typically hold 6 to 8 cubic yards, and compact local trucks can carry 3 to 5 cubic yards. Moisture and compaction change the volume, so confirm truck size with your supplier before booking.
Yes, straight fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it is less processed. However, crushed gravel gives better drainage and compaction for structural backfill or grade work, so the cheaper option may not be the right choice for all projects. If drainage or load-bearing is a concern, ask our team which material fits your needs.
You may see extra charges for tight-access deliveries, offloading where the truck must back in or use hand labor, next-day or weekend service, and long driveway distances. In NYC areas like Far Rockaway, DOT permits, meter bagging, or blocked-lane approvals could be needed and may add fees; suppliers will advise if a permit is required. Always request an itemized delivered quote so surcharges are clear before you commit.
Some local haulers may offer limited tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but full spreading and grading crews are not guaranteed through material delivery. You can often arrange local landscapers or excavators to spread and grade; rates vary by crew and job scope, so get separate labor quotes. When booking, note spreading requests in Order Notes and ask our team for local contractor referrals.
Yes, many suppliers offer discounts for multiple truckloads or large volume orders, especially for contractor accounts or scheduled repeat deliveries. Discount levels depend on supplier, timing, and distance from the pit, so contact our sales team for a customized multi-load quote. Booking multiple loads at once also helps secure delivery windows in busy NYC schedules.
Standard delivery is generally 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before our cut-off (next-day options carry an extra fee). In busy seasons or for tight-lot logistics in Queens, same-week scheduling is common but not guaranteed. Select your preferred date at checkout and contact us if you need an accelerated timeline.
We commonly use tri-axle dump trucks (10-12 cubic yards) for bulk deliveries, but for narrow streets and tight NYC lots smaller 6-wheel trucks or local compact dump trucks are used. Drivers will assess curb access, overhead wires, parking, and turning radius on arrival; providing photos and exact site notes helps us match the right truck. If the site requires lane closures or special parking arrangements, a permit or smaller truck may be necessary.
Yes, Hello Gravel can provide a firm delivered quote that includes the material cost, delivery fee, and applicable sales tax when you request a quote for your Far Rockaway address. Certain third-party costs like DOT permits, meter bagging, or special offloading labor are often quoted separately once the site conditions are known. Ask for an itemized quote so you can see which local fees are included and which may be added.
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.
