Materials Available for Delivery
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.
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.
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.

Why Rockton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockton homeowners should plan materials with the city population of 740 in mind while recognizing demand driven by the surrounding region. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million and a steady growth rate of 1.80% annually, local construction and renovation activity is likely to remain consistent—meaning more driveways, small additions, and landscape upgrades over time. Rockton’s moderate climate (annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and hardiness zone 8b) supports year-round projects but also creates specific needs: reliable drainage solutions, stable base layers for paved areas, topsoil and soil blends that support plantings, and erosion-control materials for slopes. For homeowners, that translates to choosing aggregates and mixes that balance permeability, compaction, and longevity rather than one-size-fits-all products.Popular Projects in Rockton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rockton.
Start by thinking about function: drainage, load-bearing, or appearance. In Rockton's climate, choose materials that shed water and tolerate freeze-thaw cycles. Consider local sourcing—our suppliers offer gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends with regional characteristics—so ask about compaction, particle size, and recommended depth for your specific use.
Contractors should pick materials that resist frost heave and compact well in cold conditions. For paving bases and driveways, use mixes with good drainage to prevent water from freezing in place. Also plan deliveries and installation when ground is not frozen to ensure proper compaction and long-term performance.
Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets; you can select a preferred date at checkout and we will confirm timing with you prior to dispatch.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet to calculate cubic yards (length x width x depth / 27). Convert cubic yards to tons if needed—local suppliers can help with exact conversions since density varies by material. Use our material calculator or contact our team if you need help accounting for compaction and waste.
Costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from local suppliers, but most small residential orders start at the minimum order of about 3 tons. Expect to pay more for expedited delivery, longer haul distances, and specialty blends; check our checkout for transparent pricing and any delivery fees specific to your zip code.
Permit rules vary by municipality; common issues include driveway curb cuts, limits on fill height, and rules for changing drainage patterns. Check with Rockton township or county offices before major grading or driveway alterations, and let your supplier know if any temporary road permits or weight restrictions may apply to delivery trucks.
Late spring through early fall is usually best, when ground is thawed and drier for compaction and finishing work. Winter deliveries are possible but may be limited by frozen ground, snow, or road conditions, and drivers may decline tailgate spreading if conditions are unsafe. Plan ahead for seasonal demand and potential weather delays.
Compare materials by drainage, compaction, maintenance, and appearance. For example, some mixes drain well but shift over time, while others compact into a firmer base. Ask suppliers about recommended uses, typical particle sizes, and how materials behave in Rockton's local geology before deciding.
Ensure the delivery area is clear of low-hanging wires, narrow gates, and obstacles; trucks typically require a wide, level approach and room to dump. Note any weight-restricted roads, low bridges, or HOA rules before scheduling delivery, and add site notes at checkout so haulers can plan the safest drop location.
You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed. For order changes, contact our team as soon as possible—modifications are easier before the order is dispatched, and we will do our best to accommodate you but cannot promise all changes.
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.
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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
