Why Shirley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shirley is a community of 25,560 residents experiencing steady, measured expansion with a 0.40% annual growth rate. That kind of slow, consistent growth usually translates into a steady stream of small-to-medium construction and landscaping projects: driveway repairs, yard renovations, foundation grading, and new garden beds rather than sudden large-scale development. With 228 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that balance drainage, erosion control, and UV/weather resilience. Homeowners and contractors in Shirley should expect material needs across the board—soil blends for planting, stable base mixes for paving, permeable aggregates for drainage, and mulches or surface covers that stand up to sun and seasonal rain. Choosing quality bulk materials helps projects last longer, reduce maintenance, and perform reliably in Shirley’s specific climate and growth context.Popular Projects in Shirley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shirley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Shirley.
Homeowners and contractors in Shirley use bulk materials for driveways, patios, garden beds, drainage improvements, raised beds, grading and backfill, and erosion control. These projects often call for different material sizes and mixes, so consider the purpose (stability, drainage, or finish appearance) when choosing gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Seasonal timing matters in New York — avoid major grading during freeze-thaw months when possible. If you are unsure, our material calculator and sales team can help match materials to your project.
Choose materials based on the job function: structural areas like driveways favor angular, compacting aggregates for stability, while drainage areas need free-draining mixes. For top layers and aesthetic finishes pick materials with the look and size you want, and for planting or grading use soils or screened dirt blends. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, expect local variation in gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Contact our team for guidance tailored to your project and local conditions.
Small landscaping jobs often start at a few cubic yards (3 tons minimum), patios and walkways commonly need 1 to 5 cubic yards, and driveways usually require 10 to 30 cubic yards depending on length and depth. Use our online calculator to convert square footage and depth into cubic yards or tons — most residential orders fall within these ranges. If you need help estimating, send project dimensions to our team for a quick recommendation.
Shirley experiences freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and road salt exposure, so choose materials that handle freeze-thaw without excessive movement and that resist salt where applicable. For areas prone to frost heave use well-draining aggregates as a base and avoid fine materials that retain water. Consider seasonal timing for installation — late spring through early fall is generally best for stable compaction and finishing. Our team can recommend mixes that reflect local climate impacts.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order confirmation, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (commonly tri-axle) and minimum orders apply. We will confirm a delivery window and you can pick a preferred date at checkout, but exact arrival times are not guaranteed. Optional tailgate spreading can be requested, but drivers perform this only at their discretion for safety reasons.
Delivery is generally to the curb or driveway area accessible by dump truck and depends on site access, slope, overhead wires, and local restrictions. Our drivers will assess safe placement on arrival and may need to dump in a different spot if access is limited. If you need material placed in a hard-to-reach area, mention it in Order Notes — additional fees or alternative delivery methods may be required. For spreading requests, indicate them at checkout and the driver will evaluate feasibility on site.
Municipal permits, curb cut rules, driveway permits, and HOA restrictions can affect deliveries and installation in Shirley, so check with your town or HOA before ordering. Some municipalities require permits for large delivery placements or for altering curbside areas, and restrictions on truck access or hours may apply. If you are unsure, contact local authorities or your HOA, and let our team know any rules so we can coordinate with haulers. We can advise on common considerations but are not a substitute for local permit research.
Contact our team as soon as possible to change or cancel an order — modifications are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. Once a truck is scheduled or materials are loaded, changes become harder and may incur fees depending on supplier and hauler policies. We will do our best to adjust orders but cannot guarantee all changes. For timely edits, call customer service or use the contact options provided right after placing your order.
Yes. Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, so color, grain size, and texture will reflect local geology and may differ from photos or other areas. These natural variations can affect appearance but not basic function; for example, drainage performance may differ slightly between local mixes. If a specific color or texture is important, note preferences in Order Notes and our team will try to match them where available. Expect natural variability and reach out to customer service with questions before ordering.
Check for low-hanging wires, narrow streets, soft shoulders, and tight driveways that could prevent safe truck access. Mark utility lines, remove vehicles or obstacles from the drop zone, and ensure a clear path to the dump area to reduce delays or alternate placement. If access is limited, we can discuss smaller truck options or alternative drop locations, but extra charges may apply. Drivers will refuse unsafe placements and prioritize safety when making on-site decisions.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on the required depth in inches, then use our online calculator to convert those measurements into cubic yards or tons. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 1 inch deep; material weight varies so converting to tons helps with ordering. Order a little extra (typically 5-10%) for compaction and grading, and contact our team if you want help making the estimate for your specific project.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and offers clear pricing that may include free delivery in many areas depending on supplier and distance. Delivery fees vary by zip code, supplier, and truck access; exact charges appear during checkout before you pay. For smaller or difficult-access orders, additional fees may apply. Use the checkout flow to see transparent pricing and available delivery options for your Shirley zip code.
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.
