Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Corona, NY

What do you order for a backyard bed, a dry creek bed, or a driveway that keeps washing out? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Corona, NY, start with item 4 for anything that has to carry weight. New York Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand and soil across Queens County, and the sandy glacial soils under this part of Queens drain fast once the grade is set right.

Delivery to Corona and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. The calculator sizes the load if you know your area and depth, and you choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck delivers to your site, so plan where the pile should land. Keep it on firm ground near the work, not on soft soil or a fresh paver run that the weight could shift. If your street or alley limits where a truck can stop, note that before you order so the load goes where you need it.

We deliver throughout Corona and the rest of Queens County, including Flushing, Jamaica, Astoria, Bayside and Queens Village.

Materials for Corona Projects

Most yards here are small and close together, so the landscaping side of the order matters as much as the driveway stone. Decorative rock and clean bedding sand carry a lot of these projects.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for heavier dry creek beds and erosion work.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas and drainage.
• Stone Dust, also called screenings, for paver and flagstone bedding.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.

For a driveway, order item 4 as the compacting base, then top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface. Crusher run works the same way where you want a binding base. Some New York yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, so ask which one your contractor wants before you order.

For a patio, set the pavers on stone dust over a compacted base. For a drain, Drain Rock and #57 Stone both move water well, and #2 stone is the usual pick for a septic bed, pipe bedding or backfill.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which holds moisture through the summer. Where you want rock instead of mulch, river rock and Natural Pea Gravel both work as ground cover.

Ground and Conditions in Corona

Much of Queens sits on sand and gravel left by glacial outwash, which drains quickly and compacts well when it is graded right. That is good news for drainage, but it also means a thin or under-built base moves once traffic hits it.

Winters here are milder than upstate because of the ocean, but the ground still freezes and thaws each winter. That cycle loosens gravel surfaces and shifts pavers laid on a thin base. Build the base to the depth your project calls for and compact it in lifts rather than one thick pass.

Nor'easters and tropical storms bring heavy rain and storm surge that floods low-lying shore areas. Away from the shore, the sandy soils take in rainwater quickly. The milder coastal climate leaves more of the year open for base and paver work than upstate, but frozen or waterlogged ground still stops compaction during cold snaps and after big storms.
