Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.

Why Burnham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Burnham is a small but active community of 2,448 residents whose steady growth of 1.20% annually—combined with its place in a larger regional market of 2.6+ million people—is translating into consistent demand for homeowner and light-construction projects. That steady growth means more driveway repairs, landscaping upgrades, patio installs, and localized infrastructure work, which creates ongoing need for bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and landscape stone. In Burnham's climate—228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of rain, and hardiness zone 8b—material choices must balance drainage, compaction, and plant health. Homeowners increasingly prioritize durable base materials for runoff control, clean fines for proper grading, and organic amendments for planting beds. Sourcing regionally appropriate aggregates reduces surprises from color, texture, and performance differences and helps projects last longer in local conditions.Popular Projects in Burnham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Burnham Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Burnham.
Homeowners and contractors in Burnham commonly buy a range of bulk materials including gravel, sand, dirt, and various types of crushed stone and mulch. Choices depend on the project—landscaping beds, driveways, drainage work, and base layers for patios and sidewalks each use different aggregate mixes. Regional sourcing means color and texture can vary from supplier to supplier.
Pick materials that match the job and local weather: use well-draining aggregates for surfaces exposed to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain, and use engineered base materials for driveways and walkways that need load-bearing capacity. For plant beds and turf, choose clean topsoil blends or mixes that improve drainage and nutrient retention. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Late spring through early fall is usually the best time for outdoor projects in Burnham to avoid frozen ground and heavy winter precipitation. Spring can be busy after thawing, so allow extra lead time, and avoid scheduling deliveries during heavy rain events to prevent site damage. For urgent work, next-day delivery is sometimes available if ordered before noon CST.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and typically schedules standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery is done by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks); fees depend on distance, access, and job complexity. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but expect no guarantees.
Prices vary by material, season, and local supplier, but customers can generally expect a broad range depending on type and quantity. Many common landscaping and aggregate materials in the region fall roughly within a mid-range pricing band, and exact costs are available through a zip-code quote on our site. Use Hello Gravel's checkout or request a quote to see current local pricing for your address.
Local rules can vary, and Cook County or the village of Burnham may require permits for major driveway replacements, changes to drainage, or work in public right-of-way areas. Check with Burnham building or public works departments before starting large projects, especially if altering curb cuts or stormwater flow. When in doubt, our team can help point you toward local permitting resources.
Some local suppliers and landscape contractors offer installation, compaction, and cleanup services, but these services are not guaranteed with every material delivery. Hello Gravel coordinates material and delivery; installation is often a separate service arranged directly with a contractor. You can request installation notes in Order Notes or ask our team to recommend local contractors.
Clear a stable, accessible drop point and remove vehicles, toys, and obstacles from the area before the truck arrives, and flag any overhead wires or tight turns. Be mindful of private roads, weight limits, and soft yards that can rut when wet; consider laying plywood for truck access if needed. Provide clear delivery instructions in Order Notes to help the driver find the best safe drop location.
Clayey or poorly drained soils common in parts of the region require materials that improve drainage and prevent frost heave, such as coarse aggregates for base layers. Low spots or flood-prone areas may need additional fill and proper grading, which increases quantities. Always consider compaction allowances and waste when calculating material—our calculator can help adjust for local conditions.
Maintenance depends on material and use: landscape mulches and topdressings often need replenishing yearly or every few years, loose aggregates in high-traffic areas may require periodic raking and topping, and properly installed base materials can last many years with occasional regrading. Driveway surfaces and decorative beds will show wear faster in freeze-thaw climates, so budget for touch-ups and refreshes over time.
Start by measuring the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use an online calculator to convert cubic yards to tons; different materials have different densities so conversions vary. Hello Gravel offers a material calculator and an aggregate quiz to help estimate quantities, and our team can review your measurements if you need help. Remember our 3-ton minimum when planning small projects.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

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.
