3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Road Base

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.

Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
River Rock

Why Carnegie Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Carnegie is a community of 16,290 residents, and its steady expansion—with a regional annual growth rate of 1.80%—translates into ongoing demand for homes, outdoor living upgrades, and small commercial projects. That steady growth, not a boom, tends to create predictable, year-over-year needs for renovation, drainage improvements, and landscape refreshes rather than sudden spikes. The local climate supports that steady pace: the region averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.32 inches of rain annually, and sits in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions mean homeowners here commonly balance sun exposure and regular rainfall when choosing bulk materials. From mulch and topsoil for plant health to well-graded base mixes for driveways and permeable aggregates for drainage, quality bulk materials improve longevity, manage erosion, and reduce maintenance in Carnegies environment.Popular Projects in Carnegie This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Carnegie Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Carnegie.
Start with the project goal: durability and load-bearing for driveways, smooth finish for patios, or permeability for drainage. Consider local conditions like slope and drainage, then pick a material that matches those needs—gravel, sand, dirt, stone all serve different roles as base or surface layers. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your exact measurements and intended use.
Carnegie's climate and soil affect performance: freeze-thaw cycles, clay content, tree roots, and hilly terrain all influence stability and drainage. Choose materials and installation methods that manage water (good drainage, appropriate slope) and resist frost heave. Regional sourcing also means color and texture can vary, so expect some variation from photos.
Prices vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance; expect a broad range depending on density and processing. As a rough guide, local markets commonly see lower-cost base materials and higher-cost decorative or washed stone, but exact rates depend on supplier and truck fees. Use our quote tool or request a local estimate to get accurate pricing for your zip code.
Yes. Common issues include narrow streets, overhead wires, tight turns, parking restrictions, and steep driveways that can prevent large trucks from reaching the drop-off. Mark a clear, level drop zone and note any access limits in your order notes; our haulers will assess on arrival and may suggest alternate placement or multiple smaller drops.
Spring through early fall is generally best for deliveries and installs because ground conditions are more predictable and less prone to frost or mud. Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during freeze-thaw transitions or after prolonged rain when the ground is saturated. If you need faster timing, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Freeze-thaw can cause shifting, frost heave, and surface breakup if materials or installation methods don't allow water to drain. Choosing the right base depth, ensuring proper compaction, and using well-draining material helps reduce long-term maintenance. Expect seasonal settling and plan for occasional top-ups or minor repairs on exposed surfaces.
DIY can save on labor costs but requires the right tools and know-how to grade, compact, and finish properly; incorrect installation often leads to more repairs later. Professionals bring equipment and experience that reduce risk of poor drainage or settling, which can save money over time even if upfront costs are higher. Get a local estimate to compare material-only costs versus full-install bids.
Many projects that alter drainage, change a driveway entrance, or affect the public right-of-way may require permits or municipal approval. Rules vary by borough and neighborhood, so check with Carnegie borough offices or your HOA before starting. If you need guidance, our team can point you toward local contacts but always verify permit needs with authorities.
Expect a tri-axle dump truck for most orders and confirm the drop location ahead of time; minimum orders are 3 tons. Clear vehicles and overhead obstructions, mark a safe drop zone, and notify neighbors if a truck will block the street. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout but drivers perform that service at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Measure access and describe constraints when ordering so haulers can plan; in some cases, smaller trucks or multiple loads are used. Consider staging materials on a wider section of the property and using wheelbarrows or skid-steer rental for final placement. Communicate any hazards in order notes and our team will work with local suppliers to find the best delivery option.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the needed depth, then convert cubic yards to the appropriate unit; different materials have different densities so weights vary. Use our online material calculator for a quick estimate, or contact our sales team with your dimensions and project type for a recommended quantity. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and we can advise on ordering a little extra for compaction and trimming.
Focus on permeability and particle size: coarser, porous mixes shed water faster and reduce erosion, while finer materials help with finishing but may require geotextile or stabilization on slopes. Combine proper grading, retaining features, and erosion-control fabric with the right material to manage runoff. If you are unsure, request a consultation so suppliers can recommend a mix suited to Carnegie's local soils and slope conditions.
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.
