Why Christian County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Christian County is home to 35,000 residents and sits within a larger metro area of 2.5+ million people that is growing at about 3.30% annually. That steady expansion means more building, remodeling, and landscaping projects — both by contractors and DIY homeowners — which increases demand for reliable bulk materials like gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and landscape stone. With an average of 152 sunny days a year and 33.50 inches of rainfall, the local climate is moderate but variable, so homeowners need materials that perform well in sun, handle periodic rain, and support planting and hardscape work. In this environment, choosing the right aggregates, soil blends, and drainage materials can reduce maintenance, improve longevity, and make projects like driveways, patios, raised beds, and lawn restorations more successful.Popular Projects in Christian County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Christian County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Christian County.
Start by matching material performance to the job: consider weight-bearing, drainage, and finish. For most projects in Christian County, choosing between gravel, sand, dirt, stone depends on whether you need compaction, drainage, or a decorative top layer. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact the Hello Gravel team for guidance and local recommendations.
Materials that offer good compaction and drainage are usually best for driveways and walkways, while a cleaner, finer material can be better for patios and seating areas. In Christian County you’ll often choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on load, finish, and budget. Consider a layered approach (base material plus surface material) for long-lasting results.
Freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs in central Illinois make drainage and compaction important factors when choosing materials. Materials that shed water and compact well reduce frost heave and rutting, while loose, fine materials can migrate or wash out during heavy rain. Factor seasonal conditions into your selection and plan for proper grading and drainage.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the depth you want in inches to calculate volume in cubic yards (area x depth / 324 for inches). As a rule of thumb, small landscaping jobs often start at a few cubic yards; many materials convert to roughly 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on type. Use our online material calculator or ask Hello Gravel for help if you want a precise conversion for your chosen material.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is commonly 3 tons, and most homeowners order between 3 and 20 tons depending on project size. Delivered prices vary by material, quantity, and distance; typical delivered ranges in central Illinois are broadly between $30 and $75 per ton, but exact rates depend on local suppliers and delivery details. For an accurate price get a quote through our site with your zip code and project specs.
Demand is highest from spring through early fall (roughly April through October) when landscaping and construction activity peaks. Winter can limit deliveries due to frozen ground and road conditions, though some materials are still available when weather allows. Schedule early in the busy season for the best availability and to secure preferred delivery dates.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by local dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle trucks); tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout. You will get delivery confirmation and an estimated arrival window but exact timing can vary with local conditions.
Clear a safe drive path and unloading area, move vehicles and obstacles, and note any overhead wires or low-hanging branches that trucks should avoid. Make sure the ground can support a loaded truck or discuss alternate drop locations with your Hello Gravel coordinator if the site is soft. Include access notes at checkout and the driver will assess the site on arrival.
Some driveway projects require county permits, culvert installation, or approvals from the Christian County highway or zoning office, especially for new road entrances or work that affects public right-of-way. Truck deliveries must also follow local weight and road restrictions, so check with county offices before major work. If you’re unsure, contact the county highway department or Hello Gravel for guidance before placing an order.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers after you enter your zip code; supplier options and delivery radii depend on local operations and routes. You can view available materials, estimated delivery fees, and lead times in checkout, or contact our team to confirm a supplier’s delivery radius and service area. We handle coordination so you don’t have to contact multiple vendors yourself.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; changes are easier before materials are dispatched. We will make a best effort to accommodate requests, but ability to modify depends on supplier scheduling and truck dispatch. Check your order confirmation and reach out quickly for the best chance of adjustment.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture may differ from photos; if a material seems unacceptable contact our customer service promptly. Hello Gravel will work with the supplier to resolve issues and explain next steps; review our refund policy for details on remedies. Taking photos and keeping delivery notes helps speed resolution.
For small projects like a garden bed or a short walkway many homeowners can handle ordering and spreading materials themselves, especially when quantities are small. For larger driveways, grading, compaction, or projects that need permits, hiring a contractor ensures proper preparation and long-term performance. If you need help deciding, our team can discuss project scope and suggest whether a pro is recommended.
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.
