Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
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.
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.
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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.

Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakewood is a small but growing community with a city population of 4,140 set inside a much larger regional market of 2.6+ million. A steady 2.80% annually growth rate means more homeowners are renovating, adding hardscape features, and starting small construction projects, which increases local demand for reliable bulk materials. The area's climate — 34.32 inches of annual rainfall and 228/year sunny days in hardiness zone 8b — favors year‑round outdoor work but also creates specific needs: materials that drain well after rain, resilient topsoils for planting, and aggregates that resist washout on sloped sites. For homeowners in Lakewood, having access to a variety of sands, gravels, dirt blends, and mulches matters because each project — driveways, patios, garden beds, or grading — requires different performance characteristics and quantities. Clear delivery windows, accurate calculators, and regionally sourced supplies help keep projects on schedule and budgets predictable.Popular Projects in Lakewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakewood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lakewood.
Delivered prices vary with material type, quantity, distance from supplier, and seasonal demand. As a general ballpark, residential deliveries in small towns like Lakewood often fall in a wide range depending on those factors; estimate roughly $30 to $100 per ton delivered for many common aggregates, with smaller loads and specialty materials toward the high end. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing during checkout, so enter your zip code to get a more accurate local quote.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling, shifting, and frost heave if a project lacks proper drainage and compaction. Choosing well-draining materials and building a stable base with adequate compaction, geotextile fabric, and drainage features reduces long-term problems for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates. Regular maintenance like topping up loose material and fixing low spots helps mitigate freeze-thaw damage.
Late spring through early fall is usually best because ground is thawed, and weather is more predictable for grading, compaction, and planting. Avoid scheduling major earthwork on frozen ground or during heavy winter snow; deliveries are still possible but may face delays, extra fees, or restrictions. If you need fast service, Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for eligible areas.
Local rules can affect driveways, curb cuts, stormwater management, and work in regulated areas like wetlands or public right-of-way. Check with the Town of Lakewood, Chautauqua County, or your homeowner association for permits, setback requirements, and road-use restrictions before ordering materials. When in doubt, contact local municipal offices and let your delivery partner know about permit requirements or site limitations.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that need room to turn, park, and dump safely; a clear access lane roughly 12 to 14 feet wide with sufficient turning room is ideal. Many residential roads, bridges, and private drives have weight or seasonal load restrictions; check local signage or public works rules and share access limitations when ordering so an alternate drop location can be planned. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed.
Typical estimates: small pathways or garden patches can be 1 to 3 tons (about 1 to 2 cubic yards), a 1-car driveway base often needs 8 to 12 tons (roughly 6 to 9 cubic yards), and a 2-car driveway with base and top layers commonly uses 12 to 20 tons (about 9 to 15 cubic yards). Coverage depends on desired depth—1 inch across 100 square feet is about 0.3 cubic yards—so use a material calculator or ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific estimate. Remember regional sourcing means density varies, so convert between tons and cubic yards approximately (many aggregates are around 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard).
Lakewood is served by regional suppliers and local haulers rather than a single national source; Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and dump-truck fleets based on your zip code. For installation, search for local landscapers, driveway contractors, or general contractors and ask for references, photos of past work, and insurance proof. If you want help matching a material to a contractor’s needs, our sales team can advise and coordinate delivery timing.
Common prep steps include marking utilities (call 811), clearing vegetation and debris, rough grading, installing edging or forms, and compacting subgrade where needed. Costs vary widely by scope—DIY clearance and grading are cheaper, while professional excavation, compaction, or drainage work can add several hundred to several thousand dollars. Provide clear access and a flat drop zone to avoid extra truck staging charges and to keep the delivery efficient.
On slopes, prioritize permeability and stability: use layered solutions such as a compacted base, breathable geotextile, and a surface layer that promotes drainage. Terrace planting, small retaining walls, erosion-control fabric, and anchored materials help slow runoff and trap sediment; combining vegetation with aggregates is often the most durable option. Consider local freeze-thaw cycles when designing drainage so water does not accumulate and freeze in critical areas.
Start by defining the function: load-bearing surfaces need a stable, compactable base; pathways need good footing and drainage; planting beds benefit from materials that retain moisture or improve soil as required. Use tools like a material calculator and an aggregate quiz, request small sample deliveries if unsure, and ask suppliers about regional variations—Lakewood materials may differ from materials in other parts of the New York-Newark metro area. If you order through Hello Gravel, our team can help you match material and depth to your project needs.
Homeowners often search phrases like 'bulk gravel delivery Lakewood NY', 'driveway stone delivery near me', 'yard dirt delivery Lakewood NY', and 'landscape material delivery 14750'. Common questions include how many tons they need, whether the truck can access their driveway, what the delivery window is, and how materials perform during freeze-thaw seasons. Use precise terms, include your zip code, and ask about minimum order size, delivery timing, and any site access notes to get accurate quotes.
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.
