Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.

Why Groton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Groton is a community of 5,310 residents experiencing a steady, modest annual growth of 0.40%, which typically translates into measured but ongoing demand for home improvements, small additions, and landscaping upgrades. With about 228 sunny days each year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects must balance sun-tolerant plantings with materials that manage periodic rainfall and runoff. For homeowners that means choosing reliable bulk materials—gravel and sand for drainage, quality topsoil and compost for planting beds, and durable stone and crushed material for driveways and retaining features. These choices support common local trends: low-maintenance yards, erosion control on sloped lots, and modest exterior renovations that extend living space rather than large-scale development.Popular Projects in Groton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Groton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Groton.
Choose based on use, drainage, and appearance. For high-traffic or driveway areas pick materials that compact and shed water; for planting beds or topdressings choose finer, looser materials. Consider slope, intended load, and local climate, and use our material calculator or contact our team for guidance.
Freeze-thaw cycles and snowplowing can move loose materials, so choose materials that drain well and resist displacement. Coarser, angular materials often perform better for driveways and base layers, while fine materials can be suitable for planting or leveling but may need more maintenance. Plan for winter maintenance and expect some seasonal movement.
As a general rule, 1 cubic yard of loose aggregate usually ranges from about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on the material. Small projects like a walkway often need 3–5 tons, a one-car driveway 10–20 tons, and larger driveways or significant landscaping 20+ tons. Use our calculator to get a more exact estimate for your specific material and project.
Our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it during checkout but understand it is not guaranteed.
Price depends on material type, quantity, distance from local suppliers, and site access or special services like spreading. We show transparent pricing up front and often offer free delivery in many areas, but remote sites or difficult access may incur additional fees. Contractors ordering large volumes may qualify for different pricing or scheduling options.
Truck access and safe drop zones are required for on-site delivery; if a truck cannot reach your yard, materials may be dropped at the curb or the closest accessible spot. Note any access limitations and gate sizes in your order notes so suppliers can plan; extra handling or smaller equipment may be possible but can add cost.
Late spring through early fall is typically best to avoid muddy spring conditions and freeze-thaw movement in winter. Winter deliveries are possible but expect frozen ground, limited spreading options, and potential delays. Plan seasonal work accordingly and schedule deliveries with some flexibility.
Coarser, angular materials provide better drainage and interlock for stability; finer materials are good for leveling, planting beds, and compaction layers depending on the application. Consider the intended use, whether drainage or load-bearing capacity is the priority, and choose materials accordingly. If unsure, use our aggregate quiz or call our team for recommendations.
Local permits, zoning rules, or HOA restrictions can apply to driveway changes, new hardscapes, or large landscape alterations. Check with the Town of Groton, Tompkins County, or your HOA before ordering materials. Hello Gravel can help with ordering logistics but cannot provide legal or permitting advice.
Lifespan depends on material type, installation quality, and usage; well-installed base layers and compacted aggregates can last many years, while loose surfacing may need periodic topping up. Regular maintenance like regrading, replenishing loose material, and controlling drainage will extend life, especially where freeze-thaw cycles occur. Plan for seasonal inspections and occasional refreshes.
Confirm accurate quantities, schedule deliveries around project phases, and provide clear site access instructions to avoid delays. Staged deliveries, invoicing preferences, and communication with the hauler help keep large projects on schedule. Our platform supports bulk ordering and scheduling to coordinate with contractor timelines.
Because we source regionally, color and texture may vary from photos; if a material differs from expectations contact our customer service promptly. Order changes are easiest before dispatch, so notify us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate requests. For issues at delivery, document the problem and contact our team to begin resolution per our policies.
Assess existing soil permeability, site slope, and where water drains to choose materials that prevent erosion and standing water. Steeper slopes may need materials that lock together or additional erosion control, while poorly draining soils often require a drainage layer or geotextile underlayment. Consult a contractor or our sales team with site details for tailored recommendations.
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.

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.
