Why New Salem Borough Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Salem Borough is a compact, close-knit community of 591 residents that is part of a larger, growing regional economy. With a steady growth rate of 1.80% annually, homeowner investment in property upgrades and small-scale construction is likely to rise gradually rather than spike. That steady demand, combined with the broader metro context of 2.6+ million people nearby, means suppliers and contractors are active but projects tend to be scaled to neighborhood needs. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year and about 34.32 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b — supports a long construction and landscaping season, but it also creates clear priorities: good drainage, erosion control, and materials that hold up to alternating wet and dry conditions. For New Salem Borough homeowners, reliable access to quality bulk materials (gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone) matters because it affects longevity, performance, and maintenance needs across driveways, beds, patios, and grading work.Popular Projects in New Salem Borough This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Salem Borough Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Salem Borough.
Homeowners and contractors in New Salem Borough typically buy a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, base layers, grading, and top dressing. These materials are used together depending on the job—for example a compactable base layer plus a wearing surface for a driveway or a mix of materials for raised beds and pathways. Local sellers source materials regionally, so textures and color can vary.
In West Pennsylvania’s climate, choose materials that drain well and resist freeze-thaw movement—materials that compact and shed water work best for driveways and paths. Avoid fine, clay-rich fills in areas that seasonally hold water; consider a drainage layer or geotextile if freezing or poor drainage is a concern. Timing installations for drier months reduces the risk of settling and washouts.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle) and there is a minimum order (commonly 3 tons). Rural addresses can require extra coordination for access, so allow extra lead time and share any access constraints at checkout.
Use a simple calculator or our material calculator to estimate cubic yards or tons based on area and desired depth; most homeowner projects fall into common depth ranges (e.g., base layer vs top surface). Consider compaction—you may need slightly more material than loose volume suggests. If unsure, contact our team with project dimensions and site photos for guidance.
Local regulations, permits, or HOA rules can affect large deliveries and changes to driveways or yards, so check New Salem Borough codes and any homeowners association rules before ordering. Permits might be required for major grading, installation of driveways, or curb cuts. If you’re unsure, contact the borough office or your HOA early in the planning stage.
For erosion control and drainage, choose coarser, well-draining materials and combine them with vegetation, retaining features, or geotextiles as appropriate. A mix of compactable base material at the top with larger drainage stone or a drainage swale at the toe of a slope often helps direct water away. Site-specific factors like slope steepness and soil type determine the best approach, so consider a brief site assessment.
Local soil and terrain affect load-bearing capacity, drainage, and compaction—silty or clayey soils may need a granular base or additional drainage to prevent rutting and frost heave. On sloped or rocky lots, you may need less imported fill but more engineered base materials. When in doubt, a basic soil test or professional inspection helps you choose the right combination of materials.
Late spring through early fall is usually the best window for large outdoor projects in New Salem Borough to avoid frozen ground, heavy rains, and snow that cause delays and poor compaction. Winter deliveries are possible but may face restrictions, frozen ground issues, or limited spreading if drivers cannot safely perform tailgate spreading. Book deliveries with extra lead time during shoulder seasons and winter.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but same-day delivery is less common and depends on local supplier and truck availability. Availability can vary by zip code and season, so check your zip code on the site or contact our team to confirm. Expect standard lead time of 2+ business days if you need more scheduling flexibility.
Rural deliveries may incur additional fees for long drives, difficult access, narrow roads, or weight and bridge restrictions that require alternate routing. Provide clear delivery notes, including gate codes, drive width, and phone number for the driver, and point out obstacles like low branches or steep grades. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and may affect chargeable time on site.
Ask about minimum order size, delivery lead time and fees, truck access requirements, and whether drivers can perform tailgate spreading. Confirm regional sourcing and how material color/texture might vary, and request guidance on quantity estimates and compaction assumptions. Finally, ask about change and cancellation policies so you know what to expect if plans change.
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.
