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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
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.

Why Ashley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ashley is a small but active community of 1,200 people within the broader West Illinois metro area of 2.6+ million residents. Its steady annual growth rate of 1.20% points to ongoing, measured demand for home improvements, infill development, and local infrastructure upgrades rather than a sudden building boom. With about 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, the climate supports a long working season while producing wet–dry cycles that influence how materials behave. Homeowners and contractors in Ashley need a range of reliable bulk materials — from soils and mulches for planting beds to well-graded base mixes and aggregates for driveways, patios, and erosion control — and regional sourcing matters because local geology affects texture, color, and performance.Popular Projects in Ashley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ashley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Ashley.
Start with the project goal: drainage, load-bearing, appearance, or planting needs. Consider local climate and how materials perform in freeze-thaw and wet conditions, and use our material quiz or contact the team for guidance. Remember regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone may vary in texture and color, so pick the properties you need (drainage, compaction, or finish) rather than a picture alone.
Choose a layered approach: a stable base material for strength, then a finer material or finish layer for the surface. For load-bearing areas pick materials that compact well and shed water; for patios and walkways prioritize a level, well-drained surface. Discuss your expected use and maintenance with our team so we can recommend suitable gravel, sand, dirt, stone options.
Freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and heavy spring rains can affect compaction, settling, and erosion, so pick materials that tolerate wet conditions and allow good drainage. Plan deliveries outside of heavy freeze periods when possible, and avoid spreading fines on frozen ground. Seasonal timing can reduce rework and help materials perform better long term.
Use our online calculator or measure length, width, and depth to get cubic yards, then convert to tons. As a rough rule, 1 cubic yard equals about 1 to 1.4 tons depending on material density. For quick guidance: small garden beds often need 1-3 cubic yards, walkways 2-4 cubic yards, and a typical single-car driveway can range from about 6-12 cubic yards; contact us for a project-specific estimate.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days with no extra fee, and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). You can select a preferred delivery date at checkout and we will confirm timing with you.
Drivers will place material where site access and safety allow, but placement is at the driver's discretion based on truck access and ground conditions. Clear a path for the truck, remove vehicles and obstacles, note overhead wires or low branches, and protect landscaping or hardscapes where you do not want material. If site conditions prevent safe dumping, the driver may leave material at the safest available spot.
Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Drivers will assess safety and suitability on arrival and may decline if conditions or truck setup do not allow. If spreading is essential, consider hiring a local contractor for a dedicated spreading service.
Pricing typically includes the per-ton cost of material plus any delivery fee and optional services; regional sourcing and local availability affect price. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing at checkout and requires a minimum order (3 tons in many areas). For urgent deliveries there may be an extra charge for next-day service; get a quote to see a full breakdown for your zip code.
Contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before an order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to modify or cancel orders but cannot guarantee changes once trucks are en route. Check your order confirmation for contact details and timing guidance.
Yes. Some municipalities or HOAs require permits for large deliveries, street blocking, or heavy truck access, and local weight or placement restrictions may apply. Contact Ashley city offices or your HOA for specific rules, and let us know if permits or special access are required so we can coordinate with the hauler. Hello Gravel can advise but does not obtain municipal permits on your behalf.
Contractors commonly search for phrases like ‘bulk materials dump truck delivery 62808’, ‘tons of material near me’, ‘aggregate delivery Ashley IL’, and ‘same-day dump truck delivery’. Including project terms (driveway base, drainage rock, topsoil delivery) and the local zip code helps find nearby suppliers and haulers quickly. Using specific quantities and delivery needs in the search speeds up quoting and scheduling.
Natural materials vary by region and batch, so color, texture, and particle size can differ from photos. If you have concerns, contact customer service with photos and your order details so we can work with the supplier to find a satisfactory solution. For future orders you can add notes at checkout to indicate color or texture preferences, though exact matches cannot be 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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
