Gravel Delivery in Jersey City, NJ: Stone, Soil and Mulch
MyGravelBuddy Jersey City delivers crushed stone, gravel, topsoil, sand, and mulch throughout Jersey City, NJ and surrounding areas. Typical delivery Mon-Sat.
Jersey City sits directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan and has grown into New Jersey's second largest city, a mix of waterfront high rises, rowhouse blocks and industrial flats along the Hackensack side of town. Gravel delivery in Jersey City, NJ brings stone, soil and mulch to that whole range of properties, from a Heights brownstone with a postage stamp yard to a contractor grading ground near Liberty State Park. Every order ships by the ton or the cubic yard, and the price you see is confirmed once we have your ZIP.
What We Deliver for Gravel Delivery in Jersey City, NJ
We bring crushed stone, gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, crushed concrete, asphalt millings and road base to homes, brownstones and job sites across Jersey City. The bulk of our product line is priced per ton. All other products are sold by the ton, but Mulch alone is measured in cubic yards. Nothing here carries a flat, one size rate, since the number you see at checkout is built around your address and already accounts for the run to your ZIP.
Materials We Deliver Most Often in Jersey City
Jersey City properties draw from ten materials on our site, each priced by its own unit and moved on the same delivery schedule.
- #57 Crushed Stone is an angular stone that locks together and drains fast, a common pick for driveways, French drains and foundation backfill on tight city lots. Get #57 Crushed Stone pricing for Jersey City.
- Pea Gravel is small and rounded, the material homeowners choose for walkways, planters and play areas where a smooth surface matters more than drainage speed. See Pea Gravel pricing in Jersey City.
- River Rock is larger and rounded, used along drainage swales, dry creek beds and borders that need to hold up under heavy runoff. Visit River Rock for details.
- Premium Screened Topsoil is screened clean of rock and debris, ready for new lawns, raised beds and low spots that need building up. Check Premium Screened Topsoil pricing in Jersey City.
- Mulch is the one material on this page priced by the cubic yard, spread over beds to hold moisture and keep weeds down. Get Mulch delivered to Jersey City.
- Crushed Concrete is a recycled base material that compacts firmly in Jersey City, making it a budget-friendly choice for driveways and pads versus new stone. Check Crushed Concrete pricing for your ZIP in Jersey City.
- Asphalt Millings are reclaimed, ground asphalt that packs into a firm, dark surface for driveways and lot repairs without the cost of fresh paving. Check Asphalt Millings for pricing.
- Road Base is a mix of crushed stone and fines that Jersey City contractors compact into a solid sub-base for driveways, sheds and parking pads. Check Road Base pricing in Jersey City.
- Driveway Gravel is the general purpose stone most Jersey City homeowners order to lay a new driveway or top up one that has thinned out. See Driveway Gravel pricing by your Jersey City ZIP.
- Walkway Gravel is a smaller, walkable stone suited to Jersey City garden paths and side yards where a truck cannot reach but a wheelbarrow can. See Walkway Gravel for pricing.
Minimum Order and Placement in Jersey City
The minimum order is 2 tons for every stone, soil and recycled material on this page, or 2 cubic yards for mulch, the same threshold across every market we serve. Row house lots and shared driveways are common through the Heights and Bergen-Lafayette, so tight turning space, narrow gates and street parking rules can affect where a truck sets up. Mention any of that when you place your order, and the driver will place the load as close to your marked spot as the truck can safely reach.
Delivery Radius and Lead Time From Jersey City
Our delivery radius runs about 35 miles from Jersey City, reaching New York, Newark, Elizabeth, Bergen County and Paterson along with the neighborhoods in between. Lead time is 24 to 48 hours from a confirmed order to a truck at your address, the same window we run everywhere we deliver. If your address sits near the edge of that radius, entering your ZIP on any material page will confirm coverage before you check out. For coverage across the rest of the state, see our delivery across New Jersey page.
Local Conditions That Affect a Jersey City Delivery
Much of Jersey City's waterfront sits on land filled in over old tidal marsh, so ground close to the river tends to stay soft and slow to drain after a heavy storm. Farther inland toward the Heights, the ground firms up, but streets narrow and driveways shrink, which is why placement matters as much as the material itself. Winters here bring real freeze and thaw, and a base that compacts well under gravel or road base holds up better through that cycle than loose fill on its own. Flag a steep grade, a narrow alley or a gated lot when you order so the driver can plan the approach.

How far from Jersey City will you deliver gravel or stone?
We deliver within about 35 miles of Jersey City, which reaches Newark, Elizabeth, Bergen County, Paterson and much of the surrounding metro. That radius covers dense in-town blocks as well as looser suburban lots on the edge of our coverage. If your address sits near that boundary, enter your ZIP on any material page and checkout will confirm whether you are inside our delivery area before you place an order.
How long does gravel delivery take once I order in Jersey City?
Most Jersey City orders arrive within 24 to 48 hours of a confirmed order, the same lead time we run in every market we serve. Delivery timing begins after we confirm your ZIP code and order, not from your initial page visit. Traffic across the Hudson crossings and load size can both push a delivery toward the longer end of that window, so building in a day or two ahead of a firm deadline is the safer plan.
What is the minimum order for gravel delivery in Jersey City?
Jersey City orders require a 2 ton minimum for stone, gravel, sand, topsoil, crushed concrete, asphalt millings and road base. Mulch carries its own 2 cubic yard minimum instead, since it sells by volume rather than weight. Each minimum applies to its own material, so an order that mixes stone and mulch has to clear both thresholds on their separate lines.
Is topsoil priced by the ton or the cubic yard in Jersey City?
Topsoil in Jersey City sells by the ton, matching crushed stone, gravel, sand, crushed concrete, asphalt millings and road base and a cubic yard of mulch are not the same volume.
How much does gravel delivery cost in Jersey City, NJ?
Cost depends on the material, how many tons or cubic yards you need and how far your address sits within our coverage area. Rather than post a single rate that would be wrong for half the city, we return a delivered price once you enter your ZIP on the material page you want. That figure already builds in the run to your address.
Do you deliver to apartment buildings and tight city lots in Jersey City?
Yes, though narrow streets, alley access and street parking rules common in the Heights, Downtown and along the waterfront can limit exactly where a truck sets up. Mention any of that when you order so the driver can plan the approach ahead of time. A load can usually still be placed close to your marked spot even on a tight block.
What soil and terrain should I expect for a delivery in Jersey City?
Ground closer to the Hudson waterfront was built up over old tidal marsh and tends to stay soft after heavy rain. Blocks further into the Heights sit on firmer ground, though streets there narrow and can limit where a truck sets up. Neither condition stops a delivery, but a compactable base under gravel or road base holds up better through wet stretches than loose fill placed alone.
Can I order more than one material in a single delivery to Jersey City?
Each material on our site is ordered and priced on its own page, so a load of stone and a load of mulch are separate orders rather than one mixed truckload. Both can still land within the same 24 to 48 hour window if you place them together, which covers most jobs that call for more than one material.
