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.
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.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.

Why Channahon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Channahon has a city population of 14,030 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually means construction and renovation activity tends to be consistent year over year rather than concentrated in sudden booms, so homeowners can expect regular demand for routine projects like driveway repairs, yard regrading, patio and walkway installations, and small additions. With 228 sunny days each year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, the climate supports an extended building season but also creates periods when both drainage and UV exposure matter. In hardiness zone 8b, plant choices and soil performance influence how topsoil, mulch, and organic mixes age. That combination makes reliable, locally sourced bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone—important for lasting results and a look that matches neighborhood character.Popular Projects in Channahon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Channahon Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Channahon.
Start by matching the material's function to your project: drainage, compaction, erosion control, or appearance. In Channahon's climate choose materials that shed water and resist frost heave for structural bases, or finer materials for top dressing and planting beds. Use our material calculator or contact the Hello Gravel team for help choosing a versatile option among gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.
Channahon sees freeze-thaw cycles, wet springs, and pockets of clay or river-deposited soils, so pick materials that promote drainage and resist frost movement. For areas prone to standing water or flooding choose coarser, free-draining materials and consider raising the finished grade. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so plan for local performance and appearance.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide on a target depth, then multiply area by depth to get cubic feet and convert to cubic yards (27 cu ft = 1 cu yd). Convert cubic yards to tons varies by material, but a rough rule is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on density. Use our online calculator or call our team with your dimensions to get a tailored estimate.
Quantities vary by size and depth, but a small 1-car driveway (about 12' x 20') at 3" depth uses roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards; increasing depth to 6" doubles that. A typical 10' x 10' patio at 3" depth needs about 0.9 to 1.2 cubic yards. These are starting points—use our calculator or ask Hello Gravel for more precise estimates based on your project and chosen material.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel delivers via professional dump trucks (usually tri-axle) with a minimum order of 3 tons and regional suppliers handling materials. You can pick a preferred delivery date at checkout and we'll confirm the timing with you.
Clear a safe path for the dump truck and remove low-hanging branches, vehicles, or obstacles from the delivery area. Identify a preferred drop location and note any tight turns, bridges, or weight-restricted driveways so drivers can plan a safe approach. If you have special instructions, add them to Order Notes or call our team before delivery.
Some projects may require permits or approvals—common items include driveway or curb-cut permits, right-of-way rules, and HOA restrictions. Work in regulated floodplains or near waterways may also need special permits. Check with the Village of Channahon or Will County before starting and contact Hello Gravel if you need documentation for your supplier or hauler.
Delivery fees vary by supplier distance, load size, and access; many local orders qualify for free delivery, while other deliveries may incur modest fees commonly ranging from $0 to around $150. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and exact pricing is shown at checkout when you enter your zip code. For large or commercial deliveries contact our sales team for a custom quote.
Spring through fall are usually best for outdoor deliveries, as frozen ground and heavy rain can complicate access and spreading. Avoid scheduling during major thaw or flood-prone periods in spring and consider weekday deliveries to avoid weekend access issues. If you need winter delivery, discuss site conditions with our team so drivers can assess safety on arrival.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. For guaranteed spreading, hire a local contractor or arrange separate spreading services.
Materials are sourced locally, so color, texture, and particle shape reflect Channahon-area geology and can vary from photos or samples. These variations don't necessarily indicate lower quality; they are normal for natural aggregates and can affect appearance and drainage. If color or texture is important, add preferences in Order Notes and ask our team for guidance.
Searches that include terms like 'bulk tons,' 'truckload delivery,' 'site delivery,' 'commercial account,' 'jobsite quote,' or large quantity numbers typically indicate commercial or contractor intent. If you are a contractor or buying for a jobsite, contact Hello Gravel's sales team for volume pricing, scheduling coordination, and documentation to support invoicing and jobsite delivery.
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.
