Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.

Why Greenup Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Greenup is a small but active community with a population of 2,570, positioned within the broader West Illinois region that serves a metro area of 2.6+ million. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually means gradual but persistent demand for new homes, driveways, repairs, and landscape upgrades — not a sudden boom, but a reliable pipeline of projects that keeps local contractors and DIY homeowners busy. Greenup’s climate (228 sunny days and about 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b) supports year-round outdoor work but creates specific material needs: products must manage both occasional runoff and long dry spells, resist weathering from sun exposure, and compact predictably for stable bases. Across yards and job sites this translates into a need for well-graded aggregates, stable base mixes, consistent topsoil and mulch, and erosion-control solutions that perform in local conditions.Popular Projects in Greenup This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Greenup Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Greenup.
Customers in Greenup typically order a mix of landscaping and construction aggregates such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, grading, patios, garden beds, and drainage projects. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary based on local geology, so pictures and samples help set expectations. If you are unsure which group of materials fits your project, our material quiz and sales team can help guide your choice.
Start by describing the task (driveway, patio base, drainage swale, or top dressing) and the required performance (stability, drainage, erosion resistance, or appearance). For load-bearing surfaces pick more compacting, angular aggregates; for drainage or bedding choose coarser, free-draining mixes; for topsoil or planting beds select screened dirt blends. If you need help, use our calculator or contact our team to match material groups to your specific conditions.
Greenup sees freeze/thaw cycles and spring rains that can shift poorly compacted or fine materials and slow settling in wet conditions. Choose materials and installation timing that allow for compaction and drainage—avoid placing base materials during very wet or freezing ground. Proper grading and drainage planning reduce long-term movement and maintenance needs.
For erosion control and improved drainage, homeowners and contractors typically use coarser, free-draining aggregates combined with proper grading and vegetation or matting where slopes are steep. Outlet stabilization often uses heavier stone mixes and a stable subgrade, while bedding areas may require sand or open-graded mixes to promote water flow. Local soil type and slope should guide selection, so consider a site assessment if erosion is severe.
First calculate cubic yards: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards. To get tons, multiply cubic yards by an estimated density; most common aggregates used in driveways and landscaping weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard, though exact weight varies by material. Enter your measurements in our material calculator or request a quote so we can confirm density for the material you choose.
Hello Gravel generally requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers via local dump trucks, typically tri-axle fleets, with standard delivery in 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
Confirm there is adequate truck access: room to turn, driveway width and strength, overhead wires, low-hanging trees, and any narrow rural roads or bridges with weight limits. If delivery will block a public road or require parking permits, check local rules ahead of time and note access constraints in Order Notes. Uploading photos of the driveway and drop area speeds up scheduling and helps the hauler plan the safest drop location.
The ideal season is late spring through early fall when soils are drier and temperatures are consistently above freezing, allowing proper compaction and settling. Avoid working during heavy spring rains or freeze/thaw periods when materials can shift and compaction is difficult. If you must work outside this window, plan for extra drying time and heavier base materials to compensate for poorer conditions.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by township, county, and neighborhood; common issues include blocking the public right-of-way, curb or apron damage, and limits on surface materials. Check with Greenup village offices or Cumberland County before ordering if your project affects public streets or is within an HOA. If you have questions, our team can remind you to confirm local rules and add relevant notes to your order.

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.
