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!
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.
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.

Why Mount Joy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Joy has a population of 19,660 and sits within a growing regional market; a 1.80% annually growth rate points to steady, ongoing demand for housing updates, small-scale construction, and landscape improvements. For homeowners that often translates into more driveway repairs, garden rebuilds, and hardscaping projects over time. The local climate — about 228 sunny days per year and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 8b — creates a need for materials that balance drainage, compaction, and plant tolerance. In practice that means choosing aggregates and soils that shed water during heavy rains, hold up to seasonal temperature swings, and support the plant palettes popular in this region. With a broader metro area of 2.6+ million people driving regional development, access to dependable bulk deliveries and clear quantity guidance helps homeowners schedule projects without surprise delays. Mount Joy’s mix of moderate rainfall and frequent sun makes material selection about performance, not just appearance. Soils with varying clay and silt content in the area can affect compaction rates, settling, and drainage, so choosing the right subgrade fill, base aggregates, or topsoil matters for long-term stability. For homeowners, that means prioritizing materials specified for drainage, erosion control, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles rather than picking only on color or price. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to locally sourced options, offering quantity calculators, and coordinating delivery windows so you can match materials to Mount Joy’s conditions and reduce costly rework.Popular Projects in Mount Joy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Joy Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mount Joy.
Homeowners and contractors in Mount Joy commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for landscaping and construction jobs. These materials are used for driveways, patios, garden beds, grading, and basic site prep. Local projects tend to favor regionally sourced materials that match local soil and appearance.
Prices vary by material, season, and delivery distance, but a general range for common aggregates is about $25 to $75 per ton (or roughly $30 to $100 per cubic yard) delivered. Final cost depends on material type, local supplier rates, delivery access, and any hauling fees. Contact our team for an exact quote for your zip code.
Mount Joy experiences cold, wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause settling, frost heave, and erosion if materials and installation are not appropriate. Choose well-draining materials, a compacted base, and consider frost-resistant products or a deeper base to reduce shifting. Regular maintenance like topping up low spots and managing drainage helps materials last longer.
For structural areas like driveways and patios, use stable, compactable aggregates for the base and a finished surface that resists rutting and erosion. Walkways benefit from fine-to-medium aggregates that compact and provide a smooth walking surface. For erosion control on slopes or channels, larger, angular stone or a combination of aggregates with vegetation and drainage features is often recommended.
Mount Joy and Lancaster County can have local rules affecting drop locations, street access, and heavy truck movements; narrow roads, utility lines, and historic-area restrictions are common concerns. Overweight or oversized loads may require permits, and some homeowners associations limit exterior materials or delivery methods. Check with your township or HOA and tell our team about access constraints before delivery.
Peak season typically runs from spring through early fall when weather is favorable for landscaping and construction. Winter months can limit deliveries or installation work due to frozen ground and wet conditions. Order early in peak months to secure your preferred delivery date.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers serving Mount Joy and Lancaster County through our platform so you can get transparent pricing and scheduled delivery. For installation, ask for local landscapers or contractors with experience in similar projects, request references, and get multiple quotes. Our sales team can also recommend common contractor types to contact.
Clay or poorly draining soils common in the region can hold water and cause materials to sink or wash out, so choose materials and construction methods that improve drainage and reduce settling. Slopes increase erosion risk—use larger stone or reinforced aggregates, geotextile fabric, and terracing where appropriate. Addressing subgrade preparation and drainage first will improve long-term performance.
Some areas may have zoning, historic district rules, or HOA covenants that restrict visible surfaces, material types, or placement of bulk deliveries. Retaining walls above certain heights, driveway expansions, or changes that affect stormwater may require permits. Always check with your township, county, or HOA before ordering to confirm any restrictions.
Labor and installation costs vary widely by project size, site access, and local labor rates, but installation can add a significant portion to material costs—often 20% to 60% or more. Simple tasks like spreading and compacting a small area will be at the low end, while large driveways or complex grading projects will be higher. Get on-site estimates from contractors to understand total project pricing.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on a depth, convert to cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons if needed using the approximate density of the material (densities vary, so check with your supplier). Add 10% to 15% for compaction and waste, or use our online material calculator for an estimate.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (usually 3 tons) and schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (commonly tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Provide clear drop location directions, note access limitations at checkout, and contact our team if you need special accommodations.
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.
