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.
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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
#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.

Why Dayton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dayton's city population of 426,989 sits at the heart of a broader metro area of 2.6+ million, and a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to sustained, manageable demand for home improvement and infrastructure work rather than boom-era spikes. That steady expansion, combined with local economic diversification, drives ongoing needs for residential landscaping, driveway repairs, yard regrading, and small commercial buildouts. With 152 sunny days each year and a moderate annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, homeowners in Dayton often look for materials that balance drainage and stability. In practice that means choosing bulk materials that manage runoff, resist compaction in wet spells, and provide a durable base for planting beds, paths, and driveways. Quality aggregates, soils, sands, and mulches—sourced regionally—matter because they perform differently in Dayton's seasonal cycles and urban-to-suburban lot patterns.Popular Projects in Dayton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dayton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dayton.
Homeowners in Dayton typically choose from a range of bulk materials — gravel, sand, dirt, stone — depending on the project. Choose based on use: stable, angular materials for driveways and high-traffic areas; finer materials for leveling or bedding; and decorative stone for borders or beds. Use our material quiz or contact our team to match appearance, drainage needs, and budget to your project.
Pricing varies by material, quantity, delivery distance, and local supplier rates, so ranges can differ widely. Hello Gravel provides transparent online quotes so you can compare per-ton or per-yard pricing and any delivery fees. Request a quote for your zip code to get a reliable estimate for planning.
Local suppliers usually serve the Dayton metro and surrounding suburbs, but exact delivery radius depends on the supplier and availability of haulers. Hello Gravel checks your zip code and shows available suppliers and delivery options for your address. Delivery cost and scheduling depend on distance, site access, and truck availability.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling, frost heave, and drainage issues, so choose materials and installation methods that minimize movement and shed water. Use well-draining, angular materials for bases and allow time for proper compaction; avoid fine loose materials as a structural base in freeze-prone areas. Schedule major grading or base installations in warmer months when the ground is stable.
Yes—city ordinances, county rules, and HOAs may have restrictions on surface types, curb cuts, drainage, and visible appearance. Always check local building department rules and your HOA guidelines before selecting materials or ordering delivery. If you need help, contact our team and we can remind you to confirm permits or rules before you place an order.
Recommended depths depend on expected load: residential driveways often need 6 to 12 inches of compacted base, while pedestrian paths commonly use 3 to 4 inches of compacted base material. Start with a stable subgrade, add a compactable base layer, then a top layer sized for the material’s function. Local soil drainage and frost depth can change recommendations, so consider a slightly deeper base in poorly draining or frost-prone spots.
Spring through early fall is usually best: ground is thawed, compaction works well, and weather is more predictable. Avoid scheduling major installations during winter freeze-thaw periods or during very heavy rains that can hamper compaction and cause mud. For scheduling, Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST when available.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (commonly 3 tons), but availability of smaller loads depends on supplier and local hauling options. Some suppliers offer smaller deliveries, bagged materials, or pickup options—check our site for choices in your zip code. If you need less than the minimum, contact our team and we’ll explore nearby options or alternate suppliers.
Performance depends on material selection and site grading: steeper slopes benefit from larger, angular materials and proper retention to reduce washout, while low-lying or flood-prone areas need materials and grades that promote drainage. Avoid placing fine, easily washed materials in runoff paths and consider retaining structures or geotextile stabilization on slopes. For properties near regulated floodplain, check local permitting before changing ground surface or grades.
Most materials need periodic attention: regrading and adding material to low or high-traffic areas, topping up after winter settling, and managing weeds and drainage. Inspect and correct drainage paths each season to prevent erosion and pooling, and recompact rutted areas after freeze-thaw cycles. Regular, simple upkeep extends the life and appearance of your surface.
Deliveries are made by local dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and you’ll receive scheduling details and a delivery window. Ensure clear access, an unobstructed drop zone, and confirm any gate or property instructions at checkout; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Allow for communication from the hauler and contact Hello Gravel if there are access constraints or changes needed before dispatch.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth, then use a material calculator to convert cubic feet to cubic yards or tons—Hello Gravel’s calculator can do this for you. Add a 5% to 10% overage for compaction, waste, and grading, and contact our team if you’re unsure; we can help verify quantities based on typical local conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
