Why Dubois Center Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dubois Center is a community of 1,200 residents in the West Illinois region. Its steady 1.20% annual growth points to consistent, ongoing demand for residential and small commercial projects — everything from new driveways and patios to garden overhauls and foundation prep. Local climate and geography shape material needs: with 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners face both strong sun exposure and enough precipitation to require attention to drainage and erosion control. Being in hardiness zone 8b also affects planting schedules and landscape longevity, which in turn affects when and what types of soils, mulches, and aggregates are needed. For Dubois Center projects, having reliable access to a range of bulk materials — sands, gravels, topsoils, and mulches — ensures installations last and perform well as the area continues to develop.Popular Projects in Dubois Center This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dubois Center Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dubois Center.
Materials that drain well and have low water absorption tend to resist freeze-thaw damage better. In practice, coarser, angular aggregates from local quarries usually perform better than fine, silty materials or organic soils. Deicing salts accelerate breakdown of some materials, so ask suppliers about mineral composition and choose non-porous, well-graded products for paved or high-traffic areas.
Spring and fall are often the most convenient for deliveries and most landscaping work because ground and weather conditions are moderate. Avoid scheduling big deliveries during freeze-thaw periods or immediately after heavy rains when driveways and yards can be soft. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, but plan seasonally for best results.
Costs vary by material type, distance from the supplier, and order size, with a minimum order of 3 tons. Many areas offer clear pricing online and free delivery in some zones, while others add a delivery fee depending on haul distance and site conditions. Use the online calculator or request a quote to see a tailored price for your address and material choice.
Many suppliers will deliver to rural or unpaved driveways, but it depends on access, road conditions, and local weight restrictions. Drivers will assess safety and maneuverability on arrival, and in some cases staging on a nearby paved road may be required. Be upfront about driveway conditions at checkout and expect that extra fees or scheduling constraints may apply.
Choose stable, well-graded materials that compact and shed water for driveways, and smoother, compactable options for footpaths. Prioritize materials with good drainage and angular particles for strength; for pathways, smaller sizes that are comfortable to walk on work best. Regional sourcing matters, so check local samples and supplier recommendations for the best match to your soil and slope.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using the material density (or use Hello Gravel's calculator). Add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste. Request a quote to include delivery fees and any access-related charges so you have an accurate project cost.
Local rules and weight limits can apply, especially on rural or township roads, and some municipalities or HOAs may restrict deposit locations or visible stockpiles. Check with local authorities or your village office before ordering, and tell Hello Gravel about any restrictions so we can coordinate with suppliers. If permits are required, arranging them is the customer's responsibility, though we can help flag potential issues.
Stable, coarse, and well-draining materials usually need the least upkeep because they resist erosion and vegetation growth. Using edging, proper base preparation, and a weed barrier further reduces maintenance. Regional climate and site exposure will influence performance, so choose materials suited to local conditions and talk to suppliers about low-maintenance options.
Open-graded, coarse materials help improve drainage, while heavier rock or engineered mixes are useful for erosion control on slopes. Combine materials with drainage fabric, terraces, retaining features, and vegetation to stabilize soil and slow runoff. Local suppliers can recommend blends and installation tips based on site steepness and soil type.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Same-day deliveries are rare and depend on supplier and truck availability in your zip code. For urgent jobs, contact the Hello Gravel team to check real-time availability and delivery windows.
Clear a safe drop zone free of low-hanging wires, vehicles, and obstacles and mark the preferred placement area so the driver can see it on arrival. Confirm access routes and note any soft ground, narrow gates, or weight limits in the order notes. If you need spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess whether it can be done safely on site.
Natural materials vary by region and can differ from online photos in color and texture, which is normal with regional sourcing. If the product seems substantially different, contact customer service promptly so we can review the order and work toward a solution. Review our refund and resolution policies for details on next steps.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.

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.
