Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
#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.
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!

Why Philadelphia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Philadelphia is a city with a population of 1.1+ million and anchors a larger Philadelphia-Camden metro of 2.6+ million residents. Its steady growth rate of 1.80% annually sustains ongoing demand for home improvements, infill construction, and adaptive reuse projects—meaning more driveways, patios, foundation work, and landscape upgrades driven by both homeowners and contractors. The local climate (USDA Hardiness Zone 8b, about 228 sunny days annually, and 34.32 inches of rain each year) favors year-round outdoor projects but also creates practical needs: reliable drainage, erosion control, and materials that compact and shed water without breaking down. For Philadelphia homeowners, choosing quality bulk materials—gravel, sand, soil mixes, mulch, and stone—helps manage stormwater, stabilize slopes, and create durable outdoor surfaces that fit the city's dense urban lots and evolving development patterns.Popular Projects in Philadelphia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Philadelphia Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Philadelphia.
Minimum orders typically start around 3 tons through our platform. Delivery costs vary by distance, material weight, and site access; many areas in Philadelphia include free delivery while tighter city locations or last-minute requests may incur fees. Standard delivery is usually scheduled 2+ business days after ordering, with a next-day option available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST.
Choose materials that promote good drainage and resist breakdown under freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers. For most projects, look for aggregates that interlock well and shed water rather than fine, easily compacted fills; regional sourcing means performance can vary by neighborhood geology. Also consider proper base preparation and drainage features to extend lifespan regardless of material.
Prices depend on material type, quality, delivery distance, and season. As a broad estimate, many bulk materials fall between about $20 to $60 per ton or roughly $30 to $90 per cubic yard, with lower-cost fill and recycled material at the bottom end and specialty decorative or washed products at the top. Contact our sales team or request a quote for a more accurate, site-specific price.
Many local suppliers and haulers serve Philadelphia and much of the surrounding metro area, but service availability depends on the supplier network in your zip code. Enter your zip code at checkout to confirm coverage and any additional charges for outlying suburbs or long-haul deliveries. For complicated drops in other jurisdictions, we can help coordinate deliveries through our local partners.
Spring through early fall is high season for landscaping materials, so availability can tighten and lead times lengthen then. Late fall and winter often offer better supplier availability and more flexible delivery windows, though weather or seasonal restrictions may limit some material types. Place orders early for large projects and book delivery dates in advance to secure preferred timing.
Local soils range from well-draining sands in some suburbs to clayier soils in older city lots, so consider drainage needs when selecting materials. Materials that improve drainage for planting areas or provide a stable base for driveways are often a better choice than fine, compressible fills. Evaluate slope, runoff paths, and any standing-water issues before choosing materials, and plan subbase or geotextile layers where needed.
Deliveries are made by dump trucks that need clear access and a stable surface to offload; expect the truck to dump material from the street or driveway depending on access. Check for tight streets, low branches, overhead wires, weight or parking restrictions, and protected surfaces; adding delivery notes at checkout helps. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and is assessed on arrival.
Materials commonly come from nearby quarries, landscape supply yards, recycling centers, and bulk distributors that reflect the region's geology. Hello Gravel connects customers with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced materials without calling multiple yards. For large-volume or specialty needs, contractors often lean on established supplier relationships and scheduled deliveries.
HOAs and historic districts can restrict surface materials, colors, and finish types, and the city may require permits for curb cuts, large truck deliveries, or changes to stormwater flow. Check neighborhood design rules, municipal permitting, and any street-parking rules before ordering to avoid delays or modifications on delivery day. When in doubt, consult your HOA or local permitting office and note any restrictions in your order notes.
Common mistakes include underordering materials, not preparing the site properly, overlooking site access and curb/parking restrictions, and assuming drivers will spread material for free. Other issues are failing to account for compaction or settling and not checking local rules on impervious surfaces. Use a material calculator, plan for waste and compaction, and contact our team if you need help estimating quantities or logistics.
Measure the length and width of the area, decide on the desired depth, then multiply area by depth to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; many materials can then be converted to tons using typical density ranges. Our website includes a material calculator and aggregate quiz to simplify this, and our sales team can review estimates if you provide project dimensions. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction, grading, and waste.
Drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion and when conditions are safe, but spreading is not guaranteed and is evaluated on arrival. If you require spreading or detailed installation, plan to hire a local landscaper or request spreading as a special service in advance and confirm availability. Add any spreading or staging requests in the order notes so the supplier and driver can plan 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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

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.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
