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.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.

Why Avon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Avon is a small but active community with a city population of 1,450. Connected to a larger regional market — the West Illinois metro area with a population of 2.6+ million — and growing at a steady rate of 1.20% annually, Avon sees consistent demand for residential projects and infrastructure upgrades. That steady growth translates into more driveways, patios, garden renovations, and routine maintenance where reliable bulk materials are essential. Avon’s climate — 228 sunny days annually, 35.50 inches of rain each year, and hardiness zone 8b — supports an extended building and landscaping season but also creates local priorities: materials that manage both drainage and compaction, soils that support a wide variety of plantings, and surfacing that stands up to seasonal moisture and sun exposure. Quality bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, stone, and mulch form the practical backbone for durable yards and long-lasting outdoor projects in this setting.Popular Projects in Avon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Avon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Avon.
Start by thinking about function: load-bearing areas like driveways need more angular, compacting aggregates while paths and planting beds can use finer materials. Consider drainage, maintenance, and appearance, and remember regional sourcing means texture and color vary locally. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation that balances durability, cost, and local availability for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards (divide cubic feet by 27) and use our calculator to convert to tons since weight varies by material. As a rule, plan for a little extra to account for compaction and grading. If you prefer help, our team can estimate quantities from your measurements or project description.
Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Exact lead times depend on local supplier availability and your zip code, so choose your date at checkout and expect a confirmation with any timing details. We work with regional haulers, so availability can change seasonally in small markets like Avon.
Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle); drivers will assess the site on arrival and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Before delivery, clear obstacles, mark driveways or drop zones, and note overhead wires or soft ground that restrict truck access. If access is limited, discuss alternate drop points with our team to avoid delays.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier before an order enters the supplier or dispatch process. We will do our best to accommodate modifications or cancellations, but ability to change depends on processing status and local supplier rules. For the quickest response, call or text the numbers on your order confirmation.
Prices depend on material type, local supply, and quantity; quotes are typically listed per ton or per cubic yard and may include a delivery fee. Hello Gravel displays transparent pricing and minimum orders (3 tons) during checkout so you can compare costs before buying. For exact pricing, enter your zip code on our site or request a quote from our team.
Yes. Because we source materials locally, texture, grain size, and color reflect West Illinois geology and can differ from photos or samples you see online. Performance can also vary with local climate, so choose materials with the right drainage and compaction properties for Avon winters and spring thaws. If you have a specific look or spec in mind, add notes at checkout and our team will help match options when possible.
Avoid scheduling heavy deliveries during spring thaw or after prolonged rain when driveways and yards are soft, as trucks can get stuck and spreading may be limited. Winter deliveries are possible but may require extra planning for frozen ground and snow removal. Plan projects for dry, stable periods and allow extra lead time during peak landscaping seasons.
Choose coarser, free-draining aggregates where you need water to move through quickly, and finer, more compacting materials where stabilization or a smooth finish is required. Consider combining aggregate with geotextile fabric, proper grading, and vegetation to manage erosion effectively. Contact our team to discuss site-specific needs so you get the right mix for your Avon property.
Clear the delivery area of vehicles, toys, and landscaping items and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler heads to avoid damage. Provide clear access and written instructions in your order notes if you won't be on site so the driver can safely place the load. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but understand the driver will decide if it can be done safely.
Contractors often order larger volumes, need tighter scheduling, and may request specific gradations or delivery windows, while homeowners usually need simpler guidance and smaller quantities. Hello Gravel supports both by offering bulk ordering, clear pricing, and scheduling tools, and our team can coordinate repeat deliveries or larger loads for contractor timelines. Contractors should provide project specs up front to help match local material blends and delivery logistics.
Because materials are regionally sourced, variation in color and texture is normal; photos are representative but not exact. If the delivered material is clearly inconsistent with your order or there are quality concerns, contact customer service promptly and we will work with local suppliers to investigate and find a satisfactory solution. Refer to our refund policy for details and next steps.
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.
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. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
