Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Aurora, NY
For gravel and aggregate delivery in Aurora, NY, start by sizing your load with the calculator on the order page.

New York Rock Supply runs bulk loads to Cayuga County all season, from item 4 for drives and pads to decorative stone for beds and dry creek beds.
Aurora sits on flat to gently rolling ground of silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, so the material under your project matters as much as the material you spread on top.
Delivery to Aurora and the Surrounding Area
Ordering online keeps it simple. Choose your material, set the quantity in tons or yards with the calculator, then pick the day you want the truck. A dump truck delivers bulk material to your site in Aurora, and you place the pile where you want to work from.
We also run loads to Auburn, Sterling, Locke, Weedsport and Genoa, all here in Cayuga County. If your site is on a back road or a tight drive, note it at checkout so the driver knows what to expect. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, so lock in your date once the ground is workable.
Materials for Aurora Projects
Most of the calls here are landscape work: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover. For those, Large River Rock and River Rock are the two you want. Large river rock holds a dry creek bed in place and handles heavier erosion work where runoff crosses a yard, while river rock covers beds and borders at a size you can still rake.
For walkways, play areas and drainage strips, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, gives you a fine, walkable surface. Shredded Mulch, or bark mulch, handles tree rings and planting beds and holds moisture through the summer. Bed prep over this ground usually starts with Top Soil, screened for lawns and beds.
Driveways, patio bases and drainage each pull a different material:
Patio work usually means stone dust over a compacted base, with mason sand or washed sand for bedding and joints. Where water needs to move, drain rock or #2 stone handles the trench, and rip rap takes the heavy flow at a bank or outlet.
Ground and Conditions in Aurora
Start with the soil. This zone is flat to gently rolling ground of silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills, old beach ridges and stony glacial till rising toward the southern hills. Swampy muck fills some low areas, and clay ground can stay soft into spring.
That matters for what you put underneath. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack, and spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on slow-draining clay. A base that was not built to shed that water will pump and rut, so plan your drainage layer before you surface anything. Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw.
Frost depth runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Timing follows the same logic: frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, so most base and driveway work happens from spring thaw into late fall.
