River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
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.
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.
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.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal

Why Machias Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Machias has a city population of 1,440 and sits inside a metro area population of 2.3+ million. A modest growth rate of 0.40% annually signals steady, incremental demand for home improvements rather than a construction boom; that typically means more homeowners pursuing gradual upgrades—driveway repairs, garden renovations, and small additions—rather than large-scale development. The local climate and geography drive material needs: with about 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 33.50 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, projects require materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic moisture. That combination favors well-draining base materials, stable fill and compaction mixes, erosion-controlling top layers, and organic products suited to the local planting zone. Sourcing quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and similar aggregates—locally helps ensure color, texture, and performance match Machias conditions and project goals.Popular Projects in Machias This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Machias Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Machias.
Homeowners in Machias often pick from a range of aggregates depending on function and look, including gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group of options. Permeable, angular materials are common for driveways, while flatter, compactable mixes are popular for patios and walkways. Local suppliers offer regionally sourced options, so color and texture can vary across deliveries.
Choose materials that match the job: well-graded, angular mixes allow good drainage and compact well for driveways, while coarser materials shed water and reduce frost heave risk. For slopes and erosion control pick heavier, larger-grade aggregates and combine them with proper grading and geotextile where needed. Regional climate matters in Machias, so prioritize permeability and stable base layers to handle freeze-thaw cycles.
Calculate material by converting the project area and depth into cubic yards, then to tons using the material-specific conversion; densities vary between gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Hello Gravel's material calculator can estimate quantities and our sales team can help refine numbers for local materials. As a rule of thumb, measure length, width, and depth and consult the calculator before ordering to avoid shortfalls.
The ideal window in Machias is late spring through early fall when frost is out of the ground and soils are drier, which reduces delays and makes compaction easier. Winter deliveries are possible but more likely to be delayed and harder to spread or compact. Always check local weather and schedule deliveries for dry days when possible.
Many local suppliers deliver to rural and unpaved addresses, but access limitations such as narrow roads, low bridges, steep grades, or soft ground can affect service. Drivers will assess safe drop zones on arrival and may refuse places that risk equipment or property. If access is tight, plan an alternate offload point near the site and note special instructions at checkout.
Per-ton material pricing often decreases for larger orders because suppliers and haulers can move full truckloads more efficiently, while small orders may carry a higher per-ton cost and minimum order fees. Delivery charges depend on distance from the local supplier, number of truckloads needed, and site access complexity. For bigger projects, ask about bulk pricing and multiple truck scheduling to optimize total cost.
Materials that drain quickly and stay well-compacted tend to perform better through freeze-thaw cycles; look for well-graded, angular aggregates rather than fine, water-retaining mixes. Resistance to road salt is less about the aggregate and more about the surfacing and underlying base and drainage; good drainage reduces salt-related damage. Discuss local performance with suppliers since regional mixes can behave differently in Machias conditions.
Site prep commonly includes clearing vegetation, grading, installing a stable base, and compacting before material is placed; these tasks affect how much material you need and the final performance. Some projects like new driveways or changes to roadside access may require town permits or culvert work in Machias, so check local town offices before starting. Budget for prep labor, equipment rental, and any permit fees when planning your project.
Hello Gravel provides online quotes quickly and standard deliveries are scheduled for 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on local supplier capacity and truck availability, so call or text our team to check last-minute options for Machias zip codes. Enter your zip code online to see available delivery windows and fees.
Mark the desired drop zone clearly and remove obstacles like vehicles, toys, and low-hanging branches that might block dump trucks. If you need the driver to do tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and understand it's performed at the driver's discretion for safety and may not be guaranteed. Keep a contact number handy for the driver and plan to inspect the load at arrival for quantity and placement.
Recycled and low-maintenance aggregate options are often available from local suppliers, and they can be cost-effective for base layers, driveways, and erosion control. These materials can vary more in color and particle size than virgin aggregates, but they perform well for many practical applications and may reduce waste. Ask your Hello Gravel representative to source recycled options and compare performance and price for your specific project.
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.
