#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.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
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.

Why Fountainville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fountainville is a small but growing community with a population of 1,150, situated within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million people that is expanding at about 1.80% annually. That steady growth means more home improvements, new driveways, and small-scale development projects that push demand for reliable bulk materials. With 228/year sunny days and a yearly rainfall of 34.32 inches, local projects must balance moisture management and durability: pathways and patios need materials that shed water, planting beds require mixes that retain just enough moisture, and driveways and drainage features must resist occasional heavy rainfall. In this climate and growth context, having access to a variety of aggregates, soils, and mulches — and the right amounts of each — helps homeowners and contractors finish projects faster and last longer. Fountainville’s climate and soil conditions create practical challenges for material performance. A moderate but active seasonal cycle in hardiness zone 8b means materials must tolerate wet periods without excessive erosion and support plantings that experience warm, sunny stretches. That influences choices across many material types: drainage-grade aggregates for wet spots, well-graded soils for planting, and cover materials to limit surface runoff. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate these trade-offs by offering local sourcing that reflects regional geology, clear quantity guidance, and scheduled delivery so you get the right materials at the right time for Fountainville’s specific needs.Popular Projects in Fountainville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fountainville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Fountainville.
Start with the project's purpose: drainage, surface stability, planting beds, or structural fill. Consider local climate (freeze-thaw cycles in West Pennsylvania), expected traffic, and how the finished surface should look; regional sourcing means color and texture will vary. Ask for an estimated particle size range and permeability, and use our material calculator or contact the sales team for guidance.
Choose materials that compact well and shed water to limit freeze-thaw damage; look for options with good drainage and interlock properties. For base layers use stable, angular aggregates while top surfaces can be finer, well-draining mixes depending on appearance and maintenance needs. Discuss traffic level and slope with our team so we can recommend suitable material blends.
Measure length, width, and desired depth of the area and use a volume calculation to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using our online calculator. For irregular terrain or slope, add a 5-10% overage to account for grading and compaction. Use our ‘Calculate Your Needs’ tool or contact customer service for an estimate based on local material densities.
Late spring through early fall is generally easiest because ground is thawed and drier, reducing tracking and compaction issues. Winter deliveries are possible but may be limited by frozen ground, snow, and municipal winter rules, and some contractors avoid major installs in freeze-thaw conditions. Plan ahead and choose a delivery window that matches contractor availability and local weather forecasts.
Expect limits related to narrow roads, low bridges, residential parking, and weight restrictions on local streets. Drivers will assess driveway access and may not be able to dump in tight spaces; municipal ordinances may restrict heavy truck access or require permits. Provide clear access notes at checkout and contact our team if you have special access concerns so we can coordinate with the hauler.
Common projects include driveways and walkways, patio bases, garden and planting beds, grading and drainage repairs, and erosion control. Contractors also order materials for foundation backfill, road patching, and small-site construction. Describe your project in the order notes so we can recommend appropriate materials and delivery methods.
Many small-scale landscaping projects do not require permits, but larger grading, significant drainage work, or new driveway connections may need local approvals. Check with Fountainville borough or Bucks County offices for permit requirements before starting big excavation or driveway work. If you are unsure, our team can advise on typical local considerations but cannot substitute for official municipal guidance.
Steep slopes need coarser, angular materials and erosion-control solutions to resist movement, while flat areas can use finer materials that compact evenly. Sloped sites usually require more material because of increased depth and potential for terracing or retaining structures. Tell us about slope angle and soil conditions and we will help estimate quantities and recommend suitable material types.
Residents often compare durability versus cost, drainage performance, maintenance needs, and appearance. Typical comparisons include long-term stability for driveways, permeability for garden beds, and ease of installation for DIY versus contractor work. Use our aggregate quiz or contact the sales team to weigh these trade-offs based on your project priorities.
Homeowners in small towns commonly use a mix of local suppliers, delivery services, and big-box stores for convenience or price checks, but delivery-only platforms are popular for scheduled, larger loads. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers so you get regional materials and professional delivery without arranging trucks yourself. Check your zip code for availability and get a quote to compare options.
Costs depend on material type, distance from local quarries, load size, and road access; smaller towns may see slightly higher delivery fees for longer hauls. Expect base pricing to cover material plus a delivery charge that may increase for tight access, long driveway carries, or next-day requests. Use our online checkout to see transparent pricing and contact us for a delivery estimate if you have special site conditions.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and when it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and note that final assessment happens on site; some drivers may decline due to slope, access, safety, or load type. If you need precise leveling or spreading, plan to hire a local contractor and coordinate timing accordingly.
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.

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.
