Why Great Neck Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Great Neck has a population of 40,813 and sits within a larger metro market of 2.3+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually suggests predictable, ongoing demand for home improvements and incremental construction—more renovation and landscaping projects than sudden booms. Local climate and geography also shape material needs: with about 228/year sunny days, 33.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners need materials that balance sun exposure, periodic wet spells, and year-round plant survival. That means prioritizing aggregates and soils that support reliable drainage, mulches and topsoils that retain moisture without compacting, and durable surfacing materials for patios, driveways, and pathways. Across private yards and small contractor jobs, quality bulk materials reduce rework, protect foundations and planted areas, and deliver the long-term performance the local climate demands.Popular Projects in Great Neck This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Great Neck Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Great Neck.
Start by matching material properties to the project: stability and compaction for driveways, fine texture for patio bases, and good drainage for planting areas. Consider local conditions in Great Neck such as coastal weather and seasonal rain, then choose from gravel, sand, dirt, stone based on load, appearance, and maintenance needs. Use our online material calculator and quiz for a quick recommendation, or contact our team for personalized help.
Great Neck is on Long Island where soils and drainage can vary, so think about how water moves on your site and whether the ground is sandy or holds moisture. For areas with poor drainage, choose materials and preparation that promote runoff and avoid low-permeability mixes; geotextile fabric and a compacted base can help. If you are unsure, a short site assessment or speaking with a local contractor will clarify the best approach.
Not usually. Different projects need different particle sizes and compaction: driveways need materials that lock together and bear weight, walkways favor smoother, stabler mixes, and garden beds require top-quality soil or loose materials for plant roots. Think of gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a toolbox—pick the right tool for the job and ask our team if you need help matching a material to multiple uses.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards to order. As a rough guide, many aggregates weigh about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, but weight varies by material so use our online calculator for an accurate estimate. If you prefer, provide your project dimensions when you call and our team can verify the quantity.
Standard delivery requires 2 or more business days, and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and you can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.
Provide a clear path for a dump truck to the drop zone, check for overhead wires or low branches, and confirm the surface can handle a loaded truck’s weight. If the truck cannot reach the desired spot, deliveries are typically left at the nearest safe point and moved manually. Note any permit or street-parking rules with the village of Great Neck in advance to avoid delays.
Drivers may be able to provide basic tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety and equipment. For full spreading, grading, or compacting, we recommend hiring a local contractor or arranging separate labor. Always note spreading requests in your order notes so the driver and supplier can plan.
Spring rains can delay site prep and make soft ground harder for trucks, while winter freeze-thaw cycles can affect settling and compaction. Summer is typically busier for deliveries, so plan ahead for preferred dates. If weather is expected to impact a delivery, we will communicate options for rescheduling or holding your order.
If your project needs heavy equipment, precise grading, or large volumes, a contractor will save time and reduce risk; for small landscaping jobs many homeowners can manage with clear instructions and help from our material calculator. Contractors often order larger quantities and can benefit from volume pricing and coordinated deliveries. If you are unsure, describe your project to our team and we can suggest the simplest route.
Delivery fees vary by distance from the supplier, load size, and site accessibility, and many orders qualify for free delivery depending on location. Because costs fluctuate, the best estimate is the checkout quote or a callback from our team after you enter your zip code and order details. We always show total pricing up front before you complete the purchase.
For commercial or large-volume orders, contact our sales team with project details so we can match you with local suppliers and haulers who handle big loads. Provide delivery windows, site access information, and estimated quantities to receive the most accurate pricing and scheduling. Contractors often coordinate multiple deliveries; we can help set up repeat or scheduled deliveries to match your timeline.
Due to regional sourcing, color and texture may vary from photos; this is normal for natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone. If you need to change an order, contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier before processing and dispatch, and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For quality concerns after delivery, reach out to customer service and we will work to resolve the issue according to our policies.
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.
