Why Avoca Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Avoca has a population of 2,500 and sits within a broader metro area of 2.6+ million residents that is growing at about 1.80% annually. That steady growth rate means consistent demand for both small-scale homeowner projects and incremental residential development rather than a sudden construction boom. With 228 sunny days a year and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports year-round outdoor work but calls for materials that handle both dry spells and periodic heavy rain. Homeowners in Avoca are focusing on low-maintenance yards, reliable driveways, and erosion-resistant grading, so having access to quality bulk materials—dirt for grading, sand for leveling, stone for drainage, and mulch for plant health—matters for long-lasting results. Choosing the right mix up front reduces rework and helps projects stay on schedule as the area continues to expand modestly.Popular Projects in Avoca This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Avoca Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Avoca.
Choose based on load, drainage, appearance, and maintenance needs. For a driveway prioritize materials that compact well and resist rutting; for beds and paths focus on drainage and aesthetics. Tell us about the project size, expected traffic, and look you want and our team can suggest suitable options from gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates.
Think about permeability, slope, and local freeze/thaw cycles when selecting materials. Coarser, well-draining mixes generally help control water, while finer materials can trap moisture and may require geotextile or additional grading. If you have persistent runoff or steep slopes, mention it when ordering so we can recommend appropriate materials and coverage.
Calculate cubic yards first: length (ft) × width (ft) × depth (ft) ÷ 27, then convert to tons using the material’s density. Densities vary by material and region, so use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for an accurate estimate. We also recommend ordering a small extra allowance to account for compaction and grading.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can pick a preferred delivery date at checkout and we’ll confirm scheduling with the local supplier and hauler. Expect a delivery window rather than an exact time and plan site access accordingly.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and practicality upon arrival. If spreading is critical, consider hiring a landscaper or arranging additional labor ahead of delivery.
Contractors should allow extra lead time for large or specialized loads because local supplier availability and haul distance affect scheduling. Minimum orders start around 3 tons, and coordinated staging or multiple loads may be required for big jobs. Contact our team early with project dates and site constraints to secure materials and delivery windows.
Delivery cost depends on quantity, distance from local suppliers, material type, and site access. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing and many areas qualify for free delivery; enter your zip code or request a quote to see specific costs. For large or complicated deliveries, we’ll include any extra fees up front so you can budget accurately.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and project type, so check with Avoca township or Luzerne County before starting work. Common triggers include altering curb cuts, changing drainage patterns, or installing structures that affect stormwater. If you’re unsure, a local contractor or building department can confirm what permits are needed for your scope of work.
Freeze/thaw cycles and frozen ground can make deliveries and compaction harder in winter, and some materials are more difficult to grade when wet in spring. For best results, schedule major grading or compaction work in spring, summer, or early fall and avoid deliveries during heavy rain or freeze conditions when possible. If you must order in winter, discuss timing and handling with our team so suppliers can plan accordingly.
Provide driveway width, overhead obstructions, preferred drop location, and any tight turns or weight limits. Let us know if surface protection or a specific approach is needed so the truck can be routed appropriately. Clear staging and access instructions in the order notes reduce the chance of delays or additional charges.
Natural aggregates vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; we advise adding preferences in Order Notes and contacting customer service if something looks off. To change an order, contact us as soon as possible — modifications are easier before the load is dispatched but not always possible after. We will work to resolve issues and can explain refund or replacement options per our policies.
Compare materials by particle size, shape, and how well they compact or let water pass through. Generally, angular, larger particles resist movement and provide better drainage, while finer materials compact smoothly but may hold water and need more maintenance. Describe the expected use and finish you want and our team will help you weigh durability, upkeep, and cost for options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes.
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.
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.

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!
