How Do I Prepare for a Gravel Delivery in Western New York?

Gravel is one of the most versatile landscape materials — used for driveways, drainage, paths, and base layers. For Western New York property owners, bulk gravel delivery saves time, money, and multiple trips to the quarry.

Common Gravel Types for WNY Projects

1. 1Crushed Stone (Item 4): Compacts well — ideal for driveway bases and parking areas
2. 2Drainage Stone (#1 or #2): Large stones for French drains and foundation drainage
3. 3Pea Gravel: Small, smooth stones for paths, dog runs, and decorative areas
4. 4Bank Run Gravel: Unprocessed mix of sand, stone, and fines — economical for fill
5. 5Decorative Stone: River rock and colored stone for landscape accents

How to Prepare for Gravel Delivery

• Clear the delivery area of vehicles, debris, and obstacles
• Mark the spot where you want the gravel dumped with a cone or flag
• Ensure access — our truck needs room to back in and raise the dump bed
• Consider slope — on hillsides, we'll dump where the material is least likely to roll

How Much Gravel Do You Need?

Gravel is sold by the cubic yard or ton. For a driveway:

• Length × Width × Depth (in feet) ÷ 27 = Cubic Yards
• A typical 10×20 driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards
