3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
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.
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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.

Why Crystal Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crystal's population of 23,000 and its place within a larger metro region of 2.5+ million shape steady, practical demand for building and landscaping materials. A measured growth rate of 0.40% annually signals ongoing renovation and incremental new construction rather than a boom, which means homeowners and small contractors in Crystal are often focused on durable upgrades, incremental yard improvements, and targeted infrastructure fixes. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, local projects must balance sun exposure and moisture management. Being in hardiness zone 8b influences plant choices and soil preparation, increasing the need for correct topsoil mixes, drainage solutions, and erosion control. In this context, quality bulk materials—properly graded base, suitable topsoil, stabilizing stone, and reliable mulch—play a practical role in long-term performance and lower maintenance, and local sourcing helps ensure materials match the region's geology and climate needs.Popular Projects in Crystal This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crystal Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Crystal.
Choose materials that drain and compact well for Crystal's freeze-thaw climate. Look for options from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group that provide good drainage, resist rutting, and can be compacted to form a stable surface. Consider a layered approach (compactable base plus surface material) and ask our team if you need help matching a material to your budget and use.
Freeze-thaw can cause settling, frost heave, and surface breakdown if drainage and compaction are poor. Using well-draining materials from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group, a compacted base, and proper grading reduces risk. Expect seasonal movement and plan for periodic maintenance rather than assuming a permanent, maintenance-free surface.
Contractors in the Crystal area typically favor materials that stay stable when plowed, shed water quickly, and tolerate deicing chemicals. Materials from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group that are angular and drain well often perform better for driveways and drainage features. Talk to local pros or our sales team for recommendations based on your site conditions and snow-management needs.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and receive a confirmation with an estimated window; weather and supplier schedules can cause changes. We recommend ordering early for time-sensitive projects and confirming access details with the driver before arrival.
Measure the area in square feet and decide your desired depth in inches, then multiply area by depth and divide by 324 to get cubic yards (area x depth/324). Convert cubic yards to tons using the material's approximate density if needed, since ton weight varies by material. Use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate and to confirm minimum order requirements.
Prices vary by material, quantity, and local supplier, but bulk material delivery in the area commonly falls within a broad range. Expect typical sticker ranges around $20–$100 per cubic yard or $15–$80 per ton depending on the material and delivery distance. For an exact quote for your zip code, use our site to get pricing and delivery options for your project.
Simple deliveries usually do not require a permit, but permits or approvals may be needed for driveway alterations, curb cuts, or work in the public right-of-way. Check City of Crystal rules and any homeowner association requirements before beginning work, and contact our team if you need help understanding local requirements. When in doubt, call the city planning or public works department to confirm.
Bulk materials are used for a wide range of projects, including driveways, walkways, patio bases, grading, erosion control, garden topdressing, and backfill. Selecting the right material from the gravel, sand, dirt, stone group depends on load, drainage needs, and finish appearance. If you describe your project and expected traffic, we can help narrow options and suggest appropriate depths and quantities.
Late spring through early fall is the easiest time for deliveries and on-site spreading, since thawed ground and drier conditions reduce complications. Winter deliveries are possible but can be harder to spread and may be delayed by weather or road restrictions. Plan ahead for seasonal work and book early in spring and fall when demand is higher.
Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); ensure there is a clear, level path and no low-hanging obstacles for safe access. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Provide accurate site details and photos when ordering so suppliers can confirm truck access and avoid delays.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before dispatch but not always possible once a truck is scheduled. If there is an issue with the delivery or material, report it promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve it; see our refund policy for details. We aim for transparent communication and will help guide next steps based on the situation.
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.
