Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

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 West Decatur Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Decatur, Pennsylvania (city population 1,570) sits within a larger regional market that supports ongoing residential and infrastructure activity. A 1.80% annual growth rate points to steady demand for home improvements, new driveways, yard upgrades, and small-scale construction projects. Combined with a metro area population of 2.6+ million and 228 sunny days per year, homeowners and contractors can count on many workable days for outdoor projects. At the same time, 34.32 inches of annual rainfall and a hardiness zone of 8b mean materials must perform through both wet spells and seasonal shifts. That makes access to quality bulk materials — gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone — important for drainage, foundation prep, erosion control, and landscaping that lasts. Local sourcing also matters: regional aggregates reflect the geology here, so choosing the right texture and size affects long-term performance and maintenance needs.Popular Projects in West Decatur This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Decatur Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in West Decatur.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause shifting, heaving, and drainage problems in finished surfaces. Choose materials and installation methods that allow for drainage and movement, and consider using well-graded aggregates and proper base layers. Regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in hardness and particle shape, so pick products suited for frequent freeze-thaw in West Decatur. Ask suppliers about local performance history for your project type.
Hello Gravel generally requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees and free-delivery thresholds depend on distance from local suppliers and access constraints in West Decatur and nearby zip codes. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and add order notes about access or spreading requests.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth, then convert to cubic yards using: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using the density provided by your supplier — as a rule of thumb many aggregates range roughly from about 1 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, but densities vary. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request help from our team to confirm quantities for your specific mix and compaction needs.
Late spring through early fall is usually best because soils are less saturated and freeze-thaw is not active, reducing delays and compaction issues. Avoid heavy rain seasons and frozen ground when possible, as deliveries and compaction work can be slower and less predictable. If you need winter work, plan for longer lead times and discuss site conditions with your supplier and contractor.
West Decatur properties often have clay or mixed soils that hold moisture and can reduce drainage, so prioritize materials and subgrades that promote runoff and stability. Good base preparation, grading toward drains, and possibly a geotextile layer help prevent rutting and pooling. Discuss local soil conditions with your supplier to choose gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes that match drainage and load-bearing needs.
Permit and setback requirements vary by township and county around West Decatur, so check with local municipal offices before starting work. Some locations require permits for new driveways, significant grading, or material stockpiles, and there may be rules for curb cuts or right-of-way access. Hello Gravel recommends confirming local regulations early to avoid delays and to ensure deliveries meet local rules.
Yes, many local contractors bundle material supply and installation, but availability and pricing vary. Labor costs depend on project complexity, site access, and seasonal demand, so get written estimates that separate material and labor for easy comparison. Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers; ask potential installers if they prefer customer-supplied materials or full-service packages.
Survey the delivery route for narrow roads, low bridges, weight-restricted roads, sharp turns, overhead wires, and low-hanging trees that could block dump trucks. Note driveway width, gate clearance, culvert capacity, and soft ground that could sink trucks; add this information in your order notes. If access is tight, ask about smaller trucks or offloading locations to avoid surprise fees or refused deliveries.
Local prices depend on material type, quantity, and regional availability; West Pennsylvania sourcing and haul distance are major factors. Rather than using a general range, request an itemized quote through Hello Gravel to get current per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing for your zip code. Transparent online quotes and phone help are available to compare options and delivery fees for your project.
Match material properties to the project: stability and load-bearing for driveways, good drainage for patios and beds, and erosion resistance for slopes. Consider local climate, expected use, and maintenance needs, and ask suppliers about regional blends of gravel, sand, dirt, stone that perform well in West Decatur. Use proper base preparation and compaction to extend longevity, and contact Hello Gravel's team for guidance if you are unsure which material fits your project.

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.
