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.
#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.
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.
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.

Why New York Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New York homeowners are part of a dense, growing urban region: the city population is 1.2+ million and the metro area population is 2.6+ million. A sustained annual growth rate of 2.80% means steady demand for both new construction and home upgrades — more infill projects, outdoor living improvements, and infrastructure repairs in tight urban lots. Local climate and geography shape what materials perform best: with 34.32 inches of annual rainfall, 228 sunny days per year, and a hardiness zone of 8b, projects need materials that manage water well, resist UV and heat exposure, and fit plant palettes suited to a milder temperate climate. For homeowners that translates into practical needs across many material types — well-draining aggregates for bases, quality topsoil and compost for planting beds, durable sand and stone for paving, and organic mulches for moisture control. Reliable, correctly sized bulk materials matter here because small errors in compaction or drainage can lead to costly repairs in crowded urban settings.Popular Projects in New York This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New York Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New York.
Homeowners commonly order aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for bases, drainage, leveling, and top layers. These materials are used for driveways, walkways, patios, garden beds, and under pavers. Regional sourcing means color and texture vary, so ask for local samples or photos before delivery.
Choose materials that shed water and compact well to resist freeze-thaw damage and heavy rain. A layered approach—stable base, drainage layer, and a durable surface—works for most projects. Tell suppliers about your project and site conditions so they can recommend suitable aggregates.
Many local suppliers and haulers serve the five boroughs and nearby suburbs, but delivery depends on your zip code, site access, and truck restrictions. Some dense areas may require smaller trucks, street permits, or timed deliveries. Check availability for your zip code at checkout and flag access issues when you order.
Use a material calculator for precise needs, since required quantities depend on depth and coverage area. As a rough guideline, small garden patches may need less than 1 cubic yard, walkways and patios often require 1 to 3 cubic yards, and single-car driveways frequently need several cubic yards. For weight planning, 1 cubic yard of aggregate typically ranges about 1.3 to 1.6 tons depending on the material, so check with your supplier.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for outdoor projects because ground conditions are drier and weather is more predictable. Avoid scheduling major earthwork during freeze-thaw periods, heavy rain seasons, or when snow is likely. Book deliveries a few weeks ahead in busy seasons and allow extra time for weather-related delays.
Local permits and rules vary widely in NYC; curb cuts, sidewalk closures, excavation, and significant structural work often require permits from city agencies. Check with the Department of Buildings or local borough office before starting work. Hello Gravel can help identify likely needs, but you or your contractor should secure any required permits.
Steeper slopes and limited lot sizes call for materials that improve stability and drainage, like angular aggregates and defined drainage layers. In tight urban lots plan delivery placement and erosion control ahead of time to avoid runoff and staging issues. Proper grading and a good base layer will reduce maintenance in compact city sites.
Suppliers source from nearby quarries, recycling yards, or barges serving the New York region, so local geology and transport method affect color, texture, and cost. Materials that travel farther or require special handling generally cost more and may have longer lead times. Seasonal demand and limited urban storage can also influence availability and price.
Ask about delivery truck size, drop location options, required permits, expected lead time, and whether drivers can tailgate-spread at their discretion. Confirm material gradation, contamination policies, color/appearance, and any minimum order requirements. Request photos or a sample if color and texture matter for your project.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for qualifying orders placed early. Deliveries use dump trucks (often tri-axle) and may be limited by street width, parking rules, and local weight restrictions. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Lifespan varies by material and use: a stable base and proper drainage can extend service life to many years, while surface layers may need periodic replenishing or leveling. Regular maintenance includes cleaning, regrading low spots, and addressing drainage or erosion after heavy storms or snow removal. Expect more frequent touch-ups in high-traffic or heavily salted areas.
Narrow driveways, alleys, overhead wires, and lack of on-site parking often require smaller trucks, multiple smaller loads, or off-street staging areas. You may need to arrange temporary street parking permits or coordinate with neighbors to allow safe unloading. Provide clear access notes at checkout so the hauler can plan the right equipment.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
