For West Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles, angular crushed stone (about 3/4" to 1" for base and 3/8" screenings for a top tack coat) is usually best because it locks together and sheds water. Crushed limestone or trap rock makes a stable base; pea gravel is decorative but tends to shift and is not ideal as the main driving surface. Good drainage and a compacted base are essential to limit frost heave.

A quick method: 1 cubic yard of gravel is about 1.4 short tons. For a 50 x 12 ft driveway (600 sq ft): at 2" depth you need ~3.7 cu yd (about 5.2 tons); at 3" ~5.6 cu yd (about 7.8 tons); at 4" ~7.4 cu yd (about 10.4 tons). Always round up slightly to allow for compaction and spreading losses.

A 10 x 10 ft pad (100 sq ft) at 4" depth needs about 1.2 cu yd, or roughly 1.7 tons (order 2 tons). A small 3 x 10 ft walkway at 2" depth needs about 0.19 cu yd, or about 0.3 tons (order 1 ton to cover waste and settling). When estimating, convert area x depth to cubic yards, multiply by ~1.4 to get tons, and then round up.

Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver in the New Salem Borough area; enter your zip code to see available materials and pricing. If you need installation or spreading, our local partners or area landscapers and contractors can often be recommended, but you can also request tailgate spreading at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility.

Inspect and regrade soft spots each spring after thawing; for normal use most homeowners regrade and add 1-2 inches of new gravel every 1 to 3 years. Heavy-traffic driveways may require topping and compaction more frequently, and you should fix drainage issues promptly to prevent washouts and frost heave. Regular maintenance extends service life and keeps surfaces even.

Typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that need a clear, stable approach and adequate turning and overhead clearance; plan for about 12 to 20 feet of horizontal clearance and avoid soft ground. Tailgate spreading is offered at the driver's discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. If placement is tight, consider hiring a local landscaper to move and level material after delivery.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, color and texture reflect regional geology and can vary from photos. You can add color or material preferences in the Order Notes at checkout and ask suppliers for photos or small samples when available, but exact matches are not guaranteed. We advise ordering a small test quantity if color is critical.

Clear the intended delivery and placement area of vehicles, decorations, and loose items, and mark boundaries with stakes or cones so the driver knows where to dump. Check for overhead wires, confirm stable access for a heavy truck, and notify neighbors if a street-blocking delivery is expected. If you're planning to dig or install a base, call local utility location services before excavation.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the supplier and truck are assigned or dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes cannot be guaranteed once the order is in processing or on the truck. For precise policy details, contact our customer service team.

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.
