#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Fill Dirt

Why Lower Melville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lower Melville is a community where practical home projects meet steady, predictable demand: the city population is 12,000 and the area is experiencing modest growth with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. That steady expansion means more routine landscaping, driveway repairs, and small-scale construction rather than boom-style development, so homeowners and contractors are often looking for dependable, easy-to-source bulk materials. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 33.50 inches—creates a balance of dry periods and regular precipitation, which increases the need for materials that manage both drainage and stability. In this setting, homeowners benefit from a range of aggregates, soils, mulches, and sands tailored to standing water management, erosion control, garden beds, and hardscape bases. Because materials reflect regional geology and seasonal demands, choosing the right mix of products affects longevity, maintenance, and overall project cost.Popular Projects in Lower Melville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lower Melville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lower Melville.
Homeowners in Lower Melville commonly choose a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, walkways, and garden beds. Selection usually depends on appearance, drainage needs, load-bearing requirements, and local climate; combining materials (for example a compacted base plus a decorative top layer) is common. Regional sourcing means colors and textures can vary, so request samples or photos when ordering. Use our material calculator or talk to our team for guidance on the best mix for your project.
Choose materials based on expected traffic, drainage, and desired finish: stable, well-draining materials for bases and smoother or decorative aggregates for surfacing. Consider how much maintenance you want, local freeze-thaw conditions, and whether you need a permeable surface for stormwater. If you are unsure, our team can help match a material package to your project size and use. Always confirm local availability since regional sourcing affects color and texture.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause heaving and settling if materials retain water, so pick well-draining materials and build a stable base with proper compaction. Avoid very fine, water-retaining fills where frost is a concern and consider thicker base layers in low spots or heavy-traffic areas. Proper grading and drainage help reduce freeze-thaw damage. If your site has poor soil, you may need geotextile fabric or additional base material to stabilize the area.
Typical quantities vary by dimensions and depth: a 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 20 ft) usually needs roughly 6 to 12 cubic yards (about 9 to 18 tons) depending on depth and material type, while a small patio (10 ft by 10 ft) might need 1 to 3 cubic yards (about 1.5 to 4.5 tons). These are ballpark ranges—depth matters (common depths are 3 to 6 inches for surface layers and 6 to 12 inches for structural bases). Use our online calculator or contact us with measurements for a precise estimate.
Most contractors schedule major deliveries and installations from spring through fall to avoid winter ground and weather constraints, with peak demand in late spring and summer. Deliveries are often arranged for mornings or early afternoons to allow daylight work; book at least several days to weeks ahead during busy seasons. We offer standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day options for eligible orders placed before noon CST. Check availability for your zip code and reserve a date early to secure preferred timing.
Site grade, existing runoff patterns, and slope stability determine the materials you should use: steeper or poorly drained areas typically need coarser, well-draining material and possibly erosion control measures. Aim for at least a 2% slope away from structures to direct water, and use layered construction (base plus surface) to manage runoff and reduce erosion. Permeable options may help with stormwater management, but confirm local requirements. If in doubt, have a contractor or landscaper review site drainage before ordering large quantities.
Permit and traffic rules vary by town and county—some projects like driveway replacements, curb cuts, or large street-side deliveries may require permits or inspections. If a delivery requires blocking a public road or placing material on the street, check with your local municipality and any homeowners association in advance. Ask our team if you expect curb-side staging so you can plan for permits or notifications. We recommend contacting local authorities before scheduling large deliveries to avoid delays.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by zip code, local supplier rates, and distance from source; many areas qualify for free delivery, but confirm pricing in checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not guaranteed. Use our site to check your zip code, see pricing, and choose a delivery date.
Prices reflect regional sourcing and local haul distances, so costs in Lower Melville are often similar to neighboring communities in the West New York metro but can vary based on material availability and trucking. Heavier or less common materials and longer delivery distances typically raise the price. The best way to compare is to get quotes for your zip code and project size through our site. We provide transparent pricing up front so you can compare materials and delivery options easily.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos; if the material seems different, contact our customer service as soon as possible and we will work to resolve the issue. For order changes, contact us before the order is processed—modifications are easier the earlier you call. Keep in mind tailgate spreading and other services are performed at the driver's discretion and are not guaranteed. Review our delivery and issue-resolution guidance or call our team for help.
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.
