Materials Available for Delivery
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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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.

Why Camden Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Camden is a small community with a city population of 245, situated within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million. That measured setting—combined with a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually—points to ongoing demand for home improvements, infill projects, and modest new construction rather than rapid urban expansion. In Camden's climate (hardiness zone 8b) with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, homeowners and contractors need materials that balance durability and drainage. Moderate rain and abundant sun make year-round work practical, but also increase the importance of proper base materials, erosion control, and weather-resistant finishes. For landscaping, driveway, and foundation work alike, reliable access to bulk supplies like gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone helps projects finish on time and perform well over seasons.Popular Projects in Camden This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Camden Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Camden.
Start by matching the material's function to your project: durability and compaction for driveways, finer textures for play or garden areas, and good drainage for low spots. In Camden's rural West Illinois setting, consider materials that reflect local weather and subsoil conditions; regional sourcing means texture and color can vary. Use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on the exact slope, traffic, and appearance you want.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, and delivery distance from local suppliers, plus any optional services like next-day delivery or tailgate spreading. Hello Gravel lists transparent pricing at checkout and has a minimum order of about 3 tons; check your zip code for availability and exact delivery fees. For a quick estimate, use our material calculator or request a quote from our sales team.
Cold winters and spring thaw in West Illinois can increase frost heave and runoff, so choose materials that maintain drainage and resist shifting when wet. Lighter materials may wash more easily in heavy rains, while angular, compactable materials hold up better under freeze-thaw cycles. Consider timing deliveries outside of saturated ground conditions when possible to make placement easier.
Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, so confirm driveway width, overhead clearance, and any tight turns before ordering. Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Add specific drop-off instructions and photos at checkout to help the hauler plan access.
Think about function first: choose materials that allow or slow drainage according to the spot's needs, and pick particle size for comfort and stability on paths and patios. Most projects benefit from a layered approach (base material under a finer finish), and local geology in Camden can influence how materials compact and shed water. If unsure, describe the area and expected use to our experts and they can suggest a few suitable options.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet, then convert to cubic yards or tons using our online calculator; as a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 1 inch depth. Always add 5-15% extra for compaction and uneven ground, and round up to meet our minimum order of 3 tons if needed. If you prefer help, send measurements and photos and we can estimate for you.
Contractors should confirm local material gradation, compaction specs, and any source-specific variances that affect finish and load-bearing capacity. Ask about regional supply, lead times, and whether the delivery fleet can coordinate timed drops for crews. Our platform connects you with suppliers so you can review material specs and schedule deliveries that fit your project timeline.
Local regulations and HOA rules can affect driveway materials, curb cuts, and visible front-yard finishes, so check Camden township or county permitting and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Some projects may need a permit for altering driveways or changing drainage patterns. When in doubt, consult your local building office or HOA and plan deliveries around permit approvals.
Look for materials and installation practices that promote infiltration where appropriate, such as permeable aggregates and proper base layers to reduce runoff. Using locally sourced materials reduces transport emissions and typically matches regional performance characteristics. If stormwater management is a concern, describe the issue to our team so we can recommend materials and quantities that support better drainage.
Standard delivery is available in about 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; exact timing depends on local supplier schedules. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and add drop-off notes; drivers will confirm logistics and assess tailgate spreading requests on arrival. Always check your zip code for service availability and provide clear access instructions to avoid delays.
Compare total landed cost, which includes material price, delivery fee, and any optional services, rather than just the per-ton rate. Look for clear pricing, local supplier reviews, and flexible delivery windows; Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes, a material calculator, and expert support to help weigh options. For larger or recurring orders, ask about volume pricing and scheduling to optimize cost and reliability.
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.
