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.
#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.
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 Cherry Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cherry Valley homeowners live in a community with a city population of 4,530 and access to a larger metro area of 2.6+ million. That steady expansion at 1.20% annually translates into ongoing demand for home improvements, additions, and infrastructure upgrades — everything from new driveways and patios to garden beds and drainage fixes. With 228 sunny days each year, moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that handle both sun exposure and seasonal moisture. Quality bulk supplies — gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and stone — matter here because they influence drainage, erosion control, plant establishment, and long-term surface durability in Cherry Valley’s climate and growing market.Popular Projects in Cherry Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cherry Valley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Cherry Valley.
For landscaping, driveways, and general site work customers commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone to meet different needs. These materials are used together for base layers, drainage, top dressing, and decorative beds, so many projects require more than one type. Local suppliers offer regional variations in texture and color, so expect material appearance to reflect West Illinois geology.
Choose materials based on the task: stable, well-graded aggregates for structural bases; coarser mixes for drainage; finer mixes for leveling and bedding; and decorative blends for surface appearance. Consider permeability, compaction needs, budget, and whether the material will be walked or driven on. If you need help, use a material calculator or contact our team for guidance tailored to your project and site conditions.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many areas offer free delivery, but fees can apply depending on distance, load size, and access conditions. Check availability and exact fees by entering your zip code at checkout or contacting our team.
Freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and seasonal rainfall can cause heaving, settling, and surface rutting if materials and installation methods are not appropriate. Choose materials and compaction strategies that resist frost heave and promote drainage, and avoid fine, easily saturated fills where water needs to move away. Proper base preparation and slope are important to reduce winter damage and standing water.
Many driveway replacements, curb cuts, and large deliveries can require local permits or inspections, especially if work affects public right-of-way or modifies a curb. Check with the Village of Cherry Valley public works or zoning office and your county highway department before ordering, and notify any homeowners association if applicable. If you are unsure, our team can suggest the common approvals you should confirm before scheduling delivery.
Late spring through early fall is usually the easiest window for deliveries and installations because ground is stable and weather delays are less frequent. Avoid scheduling major fills or final surfacing during freeze-thaw season, heavy rains, or deep winter snow. If you need fall or winter work, plan for slower curing, potential delays, and possible extra grading after thaw cycles.
Clear a stable access route and a level drop area that can support a tri-axle dump truck, and remove vehicles, low branches, and obstacles. Note overhead wires, gate widths, and property slopes in your order notes so drivers can assess safety on arrival; tailgate spreading may be requested but is performed at the driver’s discretion. If the site is soft or restricted, consider a staging area off-site or add instructions for where materials can be placed safely.
Use our online material calculator for the most accurate estimate based on area and desired depth, or contact our team for help. As general ballparks, small garden beds often need 1–3 tons, a short residential driveway base may need 10–30 tons, and larger driveways or site fills can range higher; these figures vary by material density and project specifics. Always order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Mixtures of well-graded aggregates used in trenches, swales, and as base layers help promote drainage and reduce erosion, while larger stone or rock can be used for energy dissipation in steep areas. Combine aggregates with geotextile fabric, proper slope, and vegetation or retaining features for best results. For specific problem spots, describe the grade and moisture patterns to our team so we can recommend material combinations that work in West Illinois conditions.
Because Hello Gravel sources locally, texture and color of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone vary by region, so exact matches to photos are not guaranteed. Availability and lead times depend on local supplier stocks and seasonal demand; busy seasons can increase lead times. Check the product page for local availability, add color preferences in Order Notes, and contact customer service for projected lead times or substitute options.
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.
