#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.
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.
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
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.
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.

Why Port Washington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port Washington is home to 29,190 residents, and its modest 0.40% annual growth points to steady, ongoing demand for home improvements and small-scale construction rather than a rapid building surge. That steady expansion means many projects are renovation- and maintenance-oriented: driveway repairs, landscape refreshes, garden bed rebuilds, and accessory structures. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall—creates balanced material needs. Homeowners and contractors should prioritize products that manage both sun and rain: well-graded aggregates for permeability, durable base materials for long-lasting driveways, topsoil and mulch blends that support plants while conserving moisture, and erosion-control supplies where slopes or concentrated runoff exist. Regional sourcing matters here because soil texture, color, and particle mix affect performance and appearance in Port Washington’s environment. Port Washington’s combination of sunshine and moderate rainfall shapes how materials perform over time. UV exposure and heat can accelerate color loss and breakdown in organic products, while episodic rains test grading, drainage, and compaction. Local soil conditions and microclimates influence whether a project needs more drainage media, amended topsoil, or finer bedding sand for pavers. Selecting the right sizes, mixes, and regional variations reduces maintenance and increases longevity for both planting and hardscape areas. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate these choices by connecting them with local suppliers, providing material calculators and regional guidance, and arranging scheduled deliveries so projects use materials suited to Port Washington’s specific weather and soil patterns.Popular Projects in Port Washington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Port Washington Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Port Washington.
Homeowners in Port Washington typically search for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates for driveways, patios, drainage, raised beds, and erosion control. These materials are chosen for their function (drainage, support, or finish) rather than just appearance, so think about whether you need a structural base, a drainage layer, or a decorative top layer. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary, so request samples or photos if appearance matters.
The busiest season on Long Island is spring through early fall, with peak delivery demand from April through October. Winters can limit installation due to freeze-thaw and saturated ground, so book early for spring projects to secure preferred dates. If you need a faster turnaround, Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for an additional fee. Local suppliers and haulers may add charges for long hauls, tight access, or small drop-offs, and some areas still qualify for free delivery—check your zip code at checkout. Always include clear access notes and photos to avoid surprise fees related to staging or special equipment.
In coastal New York, choose materials and assemblies designed for drainage and durability rather than a single product: well-graded, angular aggregates over a compacted base help shed water and resist shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. Coarse layers and good drainage reduce salt penetration and frost damage; avoid relying on very fine sands or unstable fills without proper base and geotextile separation. Talk to our team about site-specific recommendations based on local soils and exposure.
Common projects include driveway replacements, gravel patios and walkways, raised planting beds, perimeter drainage trenches, and base layers for retaining walls or paver installations. Small landscape refreshes often start at the company minimum, while full driveways or long drainage runs typically require larger loads and planning for staging and equipment. Use our material calculator or contact our team for realistic quantity estimates for your specific project.
Some projects require local permits or approvals, especially driveway curb cuts, major grading, retaining walls above a certain height, and work that affects stormwater runoff. Port Washington residents should check with the Port Washington office or Town of North Hempstead building and engineering departments for specific rules and any street-loading or staging permits. When in doubt, order materials but confirm permitting timelines so deliveries and installation stay on schedule.
Coastal sites on Long Island often have sandy soils and a higher water table, so you may need more stable base materials, geotextile separation, and extra drainage measures to prevent settling. Sloped or erosion-prone areas benefit from heavier stone or armoring mixes and proper grading to direct water away from structures. Share site photos with our team so we can recommend material combinations that match local soil and slope conditions.
Contractor rates vary widely based on project scope, access, and local demand; small landscape jobs can be billed by the hour or as modest flat-fee projects, while driveways and full installations are typically quoted as per-project prices. Get multiple quotes and ask whether bids include hauling, base preparation, compaction, and disposal of existing material to avoid surprises. Our team can help you estimate material costs so you can compare contractor bids more accurately.
Yes. Many Port Washington streets and lanes are narrow, some properties have steep or tight driveways, and waterfront or historic areas can limit truck turning and staging. Note any access constraints, overhead wires, or parking restrictions in your Order Notes and upload photos so suppliers can send appropriate equipment. If access is tight, request smaller trucks or plan for offload staging and potential hand-spreading; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Ask how the blend will perform for drainage, compaction, and appearance in a coastal New York setting, and whether a geotextile or base layer is recommended to separate mixes from native soil. Clarify particle size ranges, angularity, and whether the mix includes fines that could clog drainage over time. If appearance matters, request a sample or small delivery first and consult our team about common blends for driveways, patios, and garden beds.
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.
