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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.

Why Bunker Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bunker Hill is a small but active community (city population is 3,270) within a growing West Illinois metro (metro area population is 2.6+ million). With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is consistent rather than volatile—supporting ongoing residential updates, yard projects, and targeted infrastructure work. The area's climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b—allows for a long working season but creates a dual need: materials that resist UV exposure and drying as well as products that drain well during seasonal rains. Homeowners in Bunker Hill therefore benefit from reliable access to a range of bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—that can be matched to grading, drainage, and planting needs while keeping schedules and budgets on track. Local soil and weather patterns make performance and placement as important as product choice. Moderate rainfall means erosion control, proper grading, and permeability are critical; abundant sun accelerates surface drying and can affect organic mulches and topsoils. Hardiness zone 8b reduces extreme freeze-thaw concerns but wet-dry cycles still influence settling and compaction. For homeowners, that translates to choosing well-graded base material for driveways, free-draining mixes for beds and swales, and stable fills for hardscape work. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers, offering transparent pricing and delivery scheduling, and providing tools and guidance so you select the right materials for Bunker Hill's specific conditions.Popular Projects in Bunker Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bunker Hill Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bunker Hill.
Think about use, drainage, and appearance. For surfaces that get vehicle traffic choose materials that compact and shed water well; for planting beds or paths prioritize material that promotes drainage and supports plants. Gravel, sand, dirt, stone all have different strengths, so match the material to the function and local climate and use our material calculator or contact our team for tailored advice.
Freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall in West Illinois can change how materials settle and drain over time. Proper grading, drainage, and adequate base depth help reduce frost heave and washout. Because materials are regionally sourced, pick options suited to local conditions and plan for periodic maintenance.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material calculator or our online tool. Typical residential projects have common depth ranges depending on use; start with those and adjust for compaction and slope. If you need help, use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact support to confirm quantities before ordering.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks) and rural or hard-to-access sites can affect timing. Request a preferred delivery date at checkout and include site access instructions so drivers can find the drop location.
Delivery cost depends on distance from the supplier, load size, material weight, site accessibility, and local fuel or rural fees. Many areas offer free or low-cost delivery, but remote or difficult drops can add charges. Check your zip code at checkout for transparent pricing and contact our team if you need a detailed estimate.
Permit needs vary by project type and location; simple yard top-ups often need no permit while new driveways, curb cuts, or work affecting public right-of-way or drainage may require approval. Check with Bunker Hill city hall or your county zoning office before starting work, and contact utility companies before digging. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but does not handle permitting.
Hello Gravel connects you with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Bunker Hill and surrounding West Illinois zip codes. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology and common aggregates in the area. Use our site to check availability by zip code and schedule delivery with a local supplier.
Late spring through early fall is often best for outdoor work because ground is easier to grade and deliveries are less likely to be delayed by frozen or muddy conditions. Avoid scheduling large deliveries during heavy rain or freeze-thaw periods when site access may be limited. If you need work in off-season months, plan ahead and confirm truck access and delivery windows.
Consider the function first: pick materials that provide the needed drainage, compaction, or visual look for the project. For example, choose materials that drain well for wet spots, that compact for driving surfaces, or that match landscape colors for visual appeal. Our online quiz and sales team can help you compare options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and recommend a fit for your project and local climate.
Contractors typically order larger volumes, schedule regular deliveries, and supply exact site instructions, while homeowners often order smaller loads and may need more guidance on quantities and access. Both should provide clear drop locations, check for overhead obstacles, and confirm delivery dates. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; contact us if you have special needs or repeat delivery plans.
All loose-surface materials require some upkeep: periodic raking or grading, adding more material as it settles, and managing drainage to prevent erosion. Freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate settling and require more frequent topping up or regrading in West Illinois. Choose materials that match the expected maintenance level you are willing to perform.
Natural materials vary regionally, so color and texture may not exactly match photos. Take photos of the delivery and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. We will review the order and next steps and refer to our refund policy if needed.
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.
