Why Buckingham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Buckingham, with a population of 480, sits within a region experiencing steady expansion at a 1.20% annual growth rate. That steady growth translates to more renovation, landscaping, and infill construction as homeowners update properties and new projects appear in nearby neighborhoods and the larger metro of 2.6+ million. Buckingham’s climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—supports a long building season but also requires materials that manage both occasional heavy rain and extended sun exposure. For homeowners that means choosing bulk materials that balance drainage, stability, and aesthetics: graded base for driveways, well-draining backfill for foundations, organic soils and mulches for planting beds, and stable aggregates for paths and patios. Regional sourcing affects color and texture, so selecting the right mix of sand, dirt, stone, and mulch is important for performance and curb appeal in local conditions.Popular Projects in Buckingham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Buckingham Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Buckingham.
Start by matching performance needs to a material group: drainage, compaction, and appearance matter. For load-bearing areas pick a compacting aggregate; for beds or play areas choose softer, smaller-grained material; for edging or decorative areas choose something with the look you want. Consider local freeze-thaw cycles in West Illinois and ask for samples or photos from local suppliers before ordering.
Cost depends on material type, distance from the supplier, order size, and site access. Seasonal demand, special delivery requirements (like tight access or offload assistance), and whether you choose next-day delivery also change price. Use Hello Gravel's quote tool to get a transparent estimate for your zip code.
Estimate by measuring length, width, and depth of the area and converting to cubic yards or tons; Hello Gravel offers a material calculator to help with this. As a rule of thumb: driveways often need 3-6 inches of base aggregate, patios 2-4 inches depending on base preparation. When in doubt, order 5-10% extra for compaction and grading waste.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after order processing, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets (often tri-axle) and you can select a preferred date at checkout. Keep in mind that delays can occur due to weather, supplier schedules, or access issues.
Ensure a clear path for a dump truck, including adequate turning radius, overhead clearance, and stable ground to avoid bogging. Provide driveway width, gate codes, or photos at checkout if access is limited, and note if you need materials placed in a specific spot — drivers will assess safety on arrival. If access is very restricted, consider a smaller truck or asking about multiple drop locations.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and local conditions. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility upon arrival. For guaranteed spreading or installation, hire a local contractor and coordinate timing with delivery.
Freeze-thaw can shift poorly draining materials and cause frost heave, so choose materials with proper drainage and compaction characteristics for your intended use. For areas that freeze, better-draining aggregate bases and proper compaction mitigate movement. Discuss local climate considerations with our team so we can recommend materials reflecting West Illinois conditions.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by town and subdivision, so check local zoning rules or HOA guidelines before ordering. Common concerns include visible landscaping changes, driveway resurfacing, and changes to drainage patterns. Hello Gravel can help with scheduling delivery around your permit timeline, but you are responsible for securing approvals.
Hello Gravel works with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers; you can review supplier details and ask for references or photos of past installs. Check reviews, confirm load sizes and truck types, and communicate any site constraints before dispatch. Contact our customer service if you have concerns — we manage coordination between you and suppliers.
Due to regional sourcing, texture and coloration may vary and may not exactly match photos. Materials reflect the local geology around West Illinois, so samples or photos can help set expectations. If color or texture is critical, note preferences in Order Notes and request supplier photos before delivery.
Spring through early fall is typically easiest for deliveries and installations due to milder weather and drier ground, but winter deliveries can work for many aggregate projects if access is safe. Avoid scheduling during heavy rains or freeze-thaw transitions if you need precise grading or compaction. Use flexible delivery date selection at checkout to align with contractor availability and weather forecasts.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations; we will make our best effort before an order is processed or dispatched. Modifications become harder once the supplier or truck is assigned, and some fees or supplier restrictions may apply. Check your order confirmation and contact customer service for specific next steps.
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.

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!
