#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
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 Riverton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Riverton has a city population of 4,440 and sits within a metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually signals moderate but consistent demand for home building, renovations, and neighborhood infrastructure—so homeowners should expect ongoing projects that require reliable bulk materials. Riverton’s hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches create a climate that supports year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that manage both sun exposure and periodic rain. For landscaping and construction that means paying attention to drainage, erosion control, and durable base layers—covering needs from topsoil and mulch to sand and base gravel. Local sourcing means texture and color will reflect West Illinois geology, so choosing the right material type and grade matters for longevity and appearance across driveways, garden beds, and patios. Riverton’s mix of moderate rainfall and many sunny days affects how materials perform: permeable aggregates reduce pooling after heavy showers, while well-compacted bases resist washout during storms. Soil and subgrade conditions influenced by local geology mean some sites need extra fill or stabilization before paving or planting. For homeowners, this translates into choosing materials with the right drainage, compaction, and organic content for each project and timing deliveries to avoid saturated ground. Hello Gravel’s local network and material calculators help match product options to these conditions and simplify scheduling deliveries so projects move forward with fewer surprises.Popular Projects in Riverton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Riverton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Riverton.
Start by thinking about function: drainage, load-bearing, or aesthetic finish. For most projects in Riverton, consider coarser aggregates for drainage and base layers and finer materials for top dressing; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. Use our material calculator and quiz online to estimate quantities and compare options, and call our team if you need help matching material performance to your specific site.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and works with local suppliers to fulfill larger loads. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; contracted haulers usually deliver by dump truck. Contractors should confirm staging space, unload access, and any spreading requests at checkout to avoid delays.
Plan heavier material deliveries in spring, summer, or fall when ground is not frozen and heavy equipment can access sites more easily. Avoid scheduling large installs during freeze-thaw periods or after heavy rains when soils can be soft and compaction is harder. If you need urgent timing, ask about next-day delivery availability and confirm any seasonal hauling restrictions with our team.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can shift loose aggregates and cause settling if drainage is poor, so proper base preparation and slope are key. Choose materials and installation methods that promote good drainage and avoid trapping water; regional materials reflect local geology and perform differently in Riverton's climate. Regular maintenance like regrading and adding fresh material can extend lifespan in freeze-prone areas.
Use our online material calculator to convert your area and depth measurements into tons; for small projects, note our 3-ton minimum. Pricing depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, and any add-on services like spreading; Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and fees upfront during checkout. If you’re unsure, send photos or dimensions to our team for a quick estimate.
Think about the function: coarser aggregates are better for drainage and base layers, while finer materials provide a smoother walking surface and cleaner finish. In small yards, balance appearance with maintenance needs—finer materials may compact and require more upkeep, while coarser mixes may shift but drain better. Consider local conditions in Riverton and request samples or photos when possible before ordering.
Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material color, texture, and particle shape reflect local geology in Riverton and nearby West Illinois areas. Site-specific factors like yard size, slope, soil type, and exposure will influence the right choice, so provide these details when ordering to get recommendations tailored to your property. Our sales team can help match materials to typical local terrain and yard sizes.
Expect periodic maintenance such as topping up settled areas, regrading for drainage, and occasional weeding or edging depending on the material used. Long-term costs include replacement material, compaction or stabilization if needed, and possible drainage fixes after severe weather. Choosing durable materials and proper installation up front reduces ongoing maintenance and total lifecycle cost.
Same-week or emergency delivery may be available depending on supplier and truck availability in the West Illinois area; next-day delivery is an option for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee. Contact our team as early as possible to check availability and confirm access, staging, and any special unloading instructions. Keep in mind that weather and local hauling restrictions can affect quick-turn deliveries.
Provide precise delivery address, desired drop location, preferred delivery date and time window, type and amount of material, and any site access notes like gates, low-hanging wires, or tight turns. Mention if you may request tailgate spreading at the time of delivery, but understand drivers decide if spreading is safe and feasible. Early communication reduces delays and helps ensure the right equipment and crew are dispatched.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from online photos; we advise adding color or texture preferences in Order Notes at checkout. Hello Gravel works with vetted local suppliers to maintain consistent quality and provides guidance if a delivered material differs significantly from expectations. If you have concerns after delivery, contact customer service promptly so we can review options according to our policies.
You can pay online with major credit cards, PayPal, or Apple Pay through our secure checkout, and choose your preferred delivery date on our calendar. Standard delivery usually requires 2+ business days and uses contracted dump truck fleets, while next-day delivery is available for qualifying orders for an extra fee. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request spreading at checkout but note it is not guaranteed.
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.
