Why Davis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Davis is a small Illinois community with a city population of 3,310 located near South Jacksonville in the West Illinois region. Its steady 1.20% annual growth points to ongoing demand for home improvement, infill projects, and routine maintenance rather than a sudden construction boom—steady growth means more homeowners updating driveways, expanding landscaping, and doing targeted renovations over time. The local climate—228 sunny days annually, 35.50 inches of rainfall per year, and a hardiness zone of 8b—creates a need for materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic wet weather. Homeowners benefit from durable gravel, well-draining sands, stable soils, and organic mulches that resist UV breakdown, shed water where necessary, and reduce erosion. In a market tied to a broader metro area population of 2.6+ million, supply and delivery options are reasonably robust, so choosing quality, locally sourced bulk materials makes projects more reliable and longer lasting.Popular Projects in Davis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Davis Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Davis.
Estimate materials by area and depth: measure length and width, then choose depth in inches. Use our material calculator for ton or cubic yard estimates and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. Different materials pack differently, so the calculator helps adjust for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and local density variations.
Delivery costs depend mainly on hauling distance, truck access at your property, and the size of the load. Tight access, long driveways, or sites that require smaller trucks or extra labor can increase fees. Local permit requirements or staging restrictions may also add cost, so check city, county, and HOA rules before ordering.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST, subject to supplier and truck availability. Standard delivery is 2+ business days and scheduling depends on local fleet capacity and weather. We will confirm timing during checkout and notify you of any changes.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request it at checkout. Spreading depends on truck access, site safety, and driver judgment, and it is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading or compaction, consider hiring a local landscaper or contractor.
Choose materials that promote drainage and interlock to resist movement during freeze-thaw cycles; look for angular, well-graded aggregates and a solid base. Proper subgrade preparation, drainage planning, and adequate thickness matter more than a single material choice. Contractors often combine base material with a wearing layer to balance durability, drainage, and maintenance needs.
Late spring through early fall is the most reliable time for bulk-material deliveries and earthwork in West Illinois, since frozen ground and heavy rains are less likely. Avoid deep winter when freeze-thaw cycles can affect compaction and settling. Plan ahead for peak seasons to secure preferred delivery dates and contractor availability.
For low-maintenance yards and erosion control, prioritize materials that encourage drainage and resist displacement, combined with proper grading and vegetation where possible. Coarse aggregates and well-graded stone mixes can reduce washout, while topsoil and erosion-control blends support plantings. Consider local soil types and slopes when selecting materials and placement.
Permit and HOA rules vary by township and subdivision, so check with the City of Davis, Carroll County, and your homeowners association before starting work. Permits may be required for large-scale grading, driveway changes, or public right-of-way use. Confirm delivery timing and truck access rules to avoid fines or delays.
Contractors weigh load-bearing needs, drainage, maintenance, desired appearance, and budget when selecting materials. Local climate and soil conditions influence thickness and base preparation decisions more than a single product. They also consider local availability and cost, since regional sourcing affects texture and color.
We typically bill by the ton, but material calculators may show cubic yards for planning; conversion depends on material density. Because gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends compact differently, estimated tons can vary from cubic yard calculations. Use our online calculator or contact sales for a refined estimate based on your project and material choice.
Contact our team as soon as possible with order changes; modifications are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but changes are subject to supplier and scheduling constraints. For last-minute adjustments, call the number provided in your confirmation for fastest service.
Because we source regionally, texture and color can vary from photos and samples; natural materials always have variation. If the delivered material does not meet your expectations, contact our customer service promptly and we will work to resolve concerns. Add color or texture preferences in Order Notes to help suppliers match your needs when possible.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
