3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Walkway Gravel

Why Genoa Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Genoa is a small but active community of 6,970 residents that sits within a much larger regional market of 2.6+ million people. Its measured 1.20% annually growth means steady demand for both homeowner upgrades and modest new construction—think driveway repairs, yard rehabs, decks, and infill housing rather than large-scale urban expansion. With 228/year sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, the climate supports frequent work windows but still requires materials that handle both wet spells and long sun exposure. That combination makes reliable bulk supplies—topsoil and dirt for gardens, sand and engineered bases for patios, and durable aggregate for drainage and driveways—especially important. Homeowners in Genoa need material options that account for longevity, permeability, and ease of installation, while access to the larger metro market helps keep a variety of locally sourced options available. Local climate and soil variability in and around Genoa mean materials perform differently than in other parts of Illinois. Moderate rainfall and many sunny days reduce prolonged saturation, but seasonal wet periods still demand attention to drainage and erosion control when selecting soils, base layers, or mulches. Regional sourcing means texture and color will vary, so homeowners should choose specs that match intended use—stability for driveways, friability for planting beds, and coarse mixes where water movement is needed. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers, offering calculators and guidance, and coordinating delivery so you can compare options and pick materials that suit Genoa’s specific conditions.Popular Projects in Genoa This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Genoa Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Genoa.
Bulk materials are usually cheaper per ton and better for larger jobs, while bagged products work well for small areas and easy storage. In Genoa, consider delivery minimums (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and whether you have space to store loose material before ordering. If you need a small amount or want exact color/brand control, bags can make sense; for driveways, large beds, or grading, bulk is typically more cost-effective.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then convert to cubic yards (area in square feet x depth in feet / 27). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help converting to tons or truckloads, since density varies between gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. Always add a 5-10% overage for compaction, settling, or grading adjustments.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks used by our haulers carry multiple cubic yards and are suited for medium-to-large residential jobs, but exact capacity varies by region and truck. For small projects you may need only one truckload; for larger landscaping or contractor jobs you may order several tons. Contact our team with your project dimensions and we will estimate how many tons or truckloads you should order.
Depth depends on the purpose: decorative ground cover and mulch are commonly laid 2-4 inches deep, pathways and drive bases often need 3-6 inches of compactable material, and drainage layers may require deeper base rock with a thinner finish layer. Follow project needs rather than one fixed number, and double-check plant or code recommendations for beds, playgrounds, or base layers. If you are unsure, our team can recommend depth ranges based on your intended use.
A commonly used guideline is 3 inches of mulch depth, keeping mulch a few inches away from trunks and stems, and avoiding mulch piles (volcanoes) built up against plant bases. The idea is to suppress weeds and retain moisture without causing rot or pest problems near stems. Apply the same careful spacing principle when using other loose materials near plants or structures.
The 70/30 guideline is a simple design approach that suggests roughly 70% softscape (plants, lawn, beds) and 30% hardscape (paths, patios, driveways) to balance green space and usable surfaces. Use this ratio to plan how much bulk material you need for beds versus base materials for paths and patios, and pick materials that suit each area—stable, compactable material for hardscape bases and lighter, organic-friendly material for planting beds. Adjust the ratio based on your goals for maintenance, play space, and aesthetics.
With $1,000 you can typically cover small to medium tasks such as laying a modest pathway, adding several cubic yards of mulch or topsoil to refresh beds, filling low spots, or creating a small seating pad base. Exact quantities depend on material type and regional pricing, so contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions and we will provide estimates and options within your budget. We can also suggest mixes and delivery options to stretch your budget.
Check availability by entering your zip code, but Hello Gravel serves Genoa and surrounding West Illinois areas through local suppliers and contracted haulers. Standard delivery requires 2 or more business days and a minimum order of 3 tons; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers operate contracted trucks (usually tri-axle) and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but note it is not guaranteed.
Genoa's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and local geology can affect drainage, compaction, and how materials settle over time. Choose materials that suit drainage needs and freeze-thaw durability for paths and driveways, and pick soil or mulch mixes that support local plant choices for beds. When in doubt, tell our team about your specific site conditions and intended use so we can recommend appropriate regional materials.
Homeowners often prioritize convenience, manageable quantities, and guidance on depth and coverage, while contractors focus on specific specs, tight scheduling, and larger volumes. Hello Gravel supports both by offering material calculators, scheduled delivery windows, and the option to coordinate multiple truckloads. If you are a homeowner tackling a job alone, ask our team for tips on staging, spreading, and recommended depths; contractors can request bulk pricing and delivery coordination.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easier before an order is processed or dispatched, and our team will do their best to accommodate requests. For delivery issues or material concerns, reach out promptly so we can work with the supplier and hauler to find a solution; see our policies for details on refunds and resolutions. Keep photos and notes handy to help our team assess the situation quickly.
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.
