Materials Available for Delivery
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
#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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

Why Melville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Melville is a community of 20,390 residents within a larger metro area of 2.3+ million, and its steady 0.40% annual growth points to measured but continuous demand for home improvement and small-scale construction projects. That steady growth means homeowners are more often investing in durable driveways, patio renovations, garden beds, and drainage fixes rather than large, boom-time builds. With 228 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local climate drives specific needs: materials must balance good drainage for rainy spells with UV and heat resistance for long sunny periods, and soils or mixes should support plantings suitable for milder winters. For Melville homeowners this translates into choosing the right blend of dirt, topsoil, sand, mulch, and aggregates so projects last, drain properly, and require less rework over time.Popular Projects in Melville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Melville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Melville.
Material choice depends on budget, driveway use, drainage needs, and local climate. Look for materials that compact well and allow water to drain away from the base; in Melville's climate factor in freeze-thaw conditions. Consider a layered approach (stable base plus a suitable surface) and use our material calculator or contact our team for help matching options to your project.
Cost varies by material type, quantity, delivery distance, and supplier availability. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing online and a minimum order of 3 tons; free delivery is available in many areas and next-day delivery has an extra fee. Get an exact estimate by entering your zip code and project details or request a quote from our team.
Materials that promote drainage and stay stable when frozen and thawed tend to perform best in Melville. Look for options that resist trapping water, compact into a firm base, and allow runoff rather than soak into the ground. Because materials are regionally sourced, consult local suppliers and our team to choose options tested in nearby conditions.
Late spring through early fall is generally the easiest time for most landscaping and paving projects because the ground is unfrozen and weather is more predictable. Some deliveries and installation work can occur year-round, but frozen ground and winter weather can add complications and delay timelines. Use our checkout calendar to pick a delivery date and contact us early to avoid seasonal backlogs.
Yes — Hello Gravel connects customers to local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Melville and surrounding West New York zip codes. Availability depends on your exact zip code, the material, and current supplier schedules, so check zip code coverage on our site. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks operated by our hauling partners.
Measure the area in square feet and choose the desired depth in inches, then calculate cubic yards with this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft × depth in inches) / 324. Because tonnage varies by material density, use our online calculator to convert cubic yards to tons or contact our team for help. Order an extra 5-10% to account for compaction, grading, and waste, and remember our 3-ton minimum order.
Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and hauling partners, and our site displays supplier information and pricing after you enter your zip code. For installers, ask for local landscaping or masonry pros with references, check online reviews, and confirm insurance and permits. Our sales team can also provide recommendations and guidance on hiring installers near Melville.
Common strategies include creating proper slope away from structures, installing layered base materials that encourage drainage, and adding dedicated drains or French drains where water concentrates. Using permeable aggregates and separating layers with fabric can reduce clogging and improve long-term performance. Consult local pros or our sales team to match drainage details to your lot, soil type, and local code requirements.
Initial purchase price is only part of the cost — consider how often a material will need topping up, regrading, or repairs, plus snow removal and erosion control. Some materials are lower up-front but require more frequent maintenance, while others last longer with less upkeep. When planning a Melville project, factor in local climate impacts, expected traffic, and maintenance routines to estimate lifecycle costs.
Both gravel and sand have appropriate uses, and the best choice depends on intended use, drainage needs, and how stable you need the surface to be. For walking paths and driveways, pick materials that compact and shed water; for planting beds or leveling, choose materials that improve drainage and root health. Use our material quiz or contact our team to narrow options based on your specific project and site conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
