Why East Peoria Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
East Peoria homeowners plan projects in a region linked to an urban core of 127,461 residents and a broader regional market of 2.7+ million. A steady growth rate of 0.40% annually points to measured, ongoing demand for home improvements, repairs, and modest new construction rather than a boom cycle — that means predictable, frequent needs for materials rather than sporadic large-volume orders. With 228 sunny days per year, 33.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local conditions favor materials that manage both sun exposure and periodic wet spells: aggregates and base materials for reliable drainage and compaction, topsoil and amendments for healthy planting beds, and mulches or surface covers that moderate moisture loss. Homeowner trends here often include driveway repairs, patio and walkway installs, garden refreshes, and targeted drainage fixes, so quality, locally sourced bulk materials and dependable delivery matter for project timing and long-term performance.Popular Projects in East Peoria This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - East Peoria Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in East Peoria.
Start by defining the function you need—drainage, load-bearing, erosion control, or top dressing. Consider local conditions and the look you want, then pick a material that meets those needs; for example, choose materials suited for drainage if water management is important. Use quantity calculators and our sales team for guidance when unsure; we work with gravel, sand, dirt, stone and can help match options to your project.
East Peoria sees seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and periods of heavy rain, so choose materials that handle frost heave and shed water. Local soils can be clayey in spots, which affects compaction and drainage—plan for a base layer or underdrain if needed. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary, so expect some variation in gravel, sand, dirt, stone.
For driveways and other load-bearing surfaces, use a well-graded, compactable base material with a durable surface layer to handle vehicle weight and freeze-thaw movement. For patios and walkways, pick materials that provide a stable, level base and good drainage. For planting beds, select lighter top materials that improve soil structure and drainage; your choice among gravel, sand, dirt, stone should be based on function rather than appearance alone.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic feet and to tons using a simple online calculator or our material calculator. For many aggregates, a good rule is to calculate cubic yards and check the product density, but our tool and team can do the conversion for you. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, so plan orders around that when possible.
Yes—narrow streets, low-hanging wires, tight driveways, or steep grades can limit where dump trucks can safely place material. Trucks are typically tri-axle dump trucks, so clear access and a firm surface are important; if access is limited, consider staging or a shorter haul distance from the street. Note also any HOA rules or local parking restrictions that might affect where a truck can stop.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for landscaping, so book earlier during those times to secure preferred dates. Weather can cause delays, so allow extra lead time around storms, freeze-up, or thaw periods.
Small residential deliveries usually do not require a city permit, but any work that impacts the public right-of-way, blocks streets, or requires heavy equipment on the curb may. HOAs often have rules about visible material piles or driveway deliveries, so check with your HOA and local municipal offices if you plan large deposits or street staging. When in doubt, contact city of East Peoria public works or your local permitting office before delivery.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service depends on access, safety, and the driver's ability to spread the product properly. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess conditions upon arrival; there are no guarantees of spreading service. For precise grading or finished work, consider hiring a contractor after delivery.
Materials reflect local geology, so texture, color, and gradation can differ from supplier to supplier around Peoria. This means the same product name may look or compact slightly differently depending on where it was sourced. If appearance matters, note color preferences in your order notes and ask for photos or descriptions before delivery.
Minimum orders often start around 3 tons for residential deliveries, with larger jobs scheduled in coordination with suppliers and haulers. Lead times vary by supplier and season; contractors should book materials and delivery dates well ahead for large or time-sensitive jobs. For repeat jobs, discuss standing schedules and preferred suppliers with our team to streamline delivery.
Wet or frozen ground can make delivery difficult and may prevent trucks from accessing some sites, leading to reschedules or staging at the street. Freeze-thaw cycles can also affect compaction and final results, so plan major grading or compacting when the ground is stable. We recommend checking the forecast and planning deliveries during drier periods when possible.
Customers often ask about delivery fees, next-day surcharges, and charges for difficult access or long carries from the truck to the placement area. Transparent pricing is provided at checkout for standard delivery, with optional fees for expedited service or special requests. If you have concerns about possible extra charges, contact our sales team before ordering to get an estimate tailored to your site conditions.
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.
