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.

Why Bourbonnais Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bourbonnais has a city population of 24,960 and sits within a growing regional market that supports steady building activity. A growth rate of 1.20% annually means more homeowners and developers are investing in outdoor projects, infill housing, and infrastructure improvements—all of which raise demand for bulk aggregates and landscape supplies. With a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days annually, and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, the local climate allows for much of the year to be productive for construction and landscaping but still requires materials that handle both sun exposure and episodic rain. That mix drives demand for a range of products—well-graded base materials, sand and soils for planting beds, drainage-friendly aggregates, and organic mulches—so homeowners get durability, stability, and reliable drainage in local projects.Popular Projects in Bourbonnais This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bourbonnais Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bourbonnais.
Bourbonnais sees cold winters with freeze–thaw cycles and wet springs, so deliveries and installs are easiest from late spring through early fall. Heavy rain or frozen ground can delay delivery or spreading, and some materials are harder to compact or grade in wet or frozen conditions. Plan for 2+ business days for standard delivery and consider next-day delivery if you need materials sooner and place your order before noon CST.
Much of the area has clay or mixed soils that retain water, so choosing materials and base layers that promote drainage is important. For driveways and beds, use well-graded base material with a slight slope away from structures and consider adding a permeable layer or drainage pipe in low spots. Discuss your site conditions with our team so we can recommend materials suited to local soil and runoff patterns.
Freeze–thaw cycles in Bourbonnais can cause settling and heaving in poorly compacted surfaces, so choose materials and installation methods that allow for movement and good drainage. Proper compaction, a stable base, and materials that resist frost-related displacement will extend life. Regular maintenance such as regrading or replenishing surface material after severe winters also helps.
Local prices vary by material type and availability, but expect per-ton pricing with a minimum order (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons). Delivery fees depend on distance, order size, and timing; standard delivery is usually included in many areas with next-day as a paid option. Use our online quote tool or request a custom estimate to see current local pricing for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted trucking fleets that serve Bourbonnais and nearby zip codes, so you can compare options and scheduling in one place. We vet haulers for experience and reliability, but you can also ask for references or delivery photos if that helps with selection. Check service availability for your zip code on our site or contact our team for recommendations.
Local building codes, township rules, and HOA covenants in Bourbonnais can restrict materials, driveway width, or surface appearance, so check with your municipality or HOA before ordering. Simple changes like adding a drainage swale, curb cut, or impervious surface may require permits in some areas. We recommend contacting local authorities early in project planning and noting any restrictions in your order notes.
Many Bourbonnais neighborhoods can accept tri-axle dump trucks, but tight driveways, low-hanging trees, gates, or narrow streets may limit access or require smaller trucks. At checkout, provide delivery details and photos if possible so we can match the right truck size and avoid access issues. Drivers may refuse unsafe access and can offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is never guaranteed.
Estimate quantity by measuring length x width x depth, converting cubic feet to cubic yards, and then to tons using our online calculator or the guidance on our site; a typical rule is 1 cubic yard covers 81 square feet at 1 inch depth. For driveways and base layers, allow extra for compaction and slope; round up to avoid shortfalls. If you’re unsure, use our material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for help.
Homeowners and contractors in the area commonly request materials for driveways, base layers, top dressing for yards, and landscaping beds, often ordering a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to assemble proper base, drainage, and surface layers. Projects include resurfacing driveways, building patios, filling low spots, and preparing bases for pavers. Our team can suggest material combinations that fit your project goals and local conditions.
Permeable options and well-graded aggregates can reduce runoff and help water infiltrate rather than flow into streets or storm drains, which is useful given local rainfall patterns. Consider using permeable base layers, open-graded stone mixes, or incorporating swales and rain gardens into project design. Check local ordinances for any stormwater requirements and ask our team for material recommendations that balance permeability and load-bearing needs.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible with your order number and details; we will do our best to accommodate changes before processing and help resolve issues after delivery. Keep delivery photos and notes about placement to speed up resolution and refer to our refund policy for details on potential credits or adjustments. Prompt communication gives the best chance for a satisfactory outcome.
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.

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.
