Why George Town Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
George Town is a growing community of 70,000, and that steady expansion — a growth rate of 1.20% annually — translates into continuous demand for residential and infrastructure work. With a metro area population of 2.6+ million nearby, local building and landscaping activity supports a healthy market for renovations, new driveways, drainage upgrades, and outdoor living projects. The local climate (hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches) supports year-round work but also shapes material needs: homeowners and contractors look for aggregates and soils that drain well, resist erosion, and hold up to sun exposure. Quality bulk materials — gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — matter here because proper drainage, compaction, and long-term stability reduce maintenance and protect foundations and landscaping investments over time.Popular Projects in George Town This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - George Town Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in George Town.
Homeowners commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, patios, grading, drainage swales, and planting beds. These materials are used as base layers, top dressing, and fill, so choosing a product that suits compaction and drainage needs is important. Local suppliers reflect West Illinois geology, so texture and color may vary.
Start by defining the project purpose (drainage, structural base, decorative surface, or planting soil) and the expected traffic or load. Consider drainage, compaction, and appearance when selecting between different aggregates and soils, and use Hello Gravel’s material quiz or contact the sales team for guidance. Account for local climate factors like freeze-thaw cycles when picking materials.
Measure the area and decide on the depth for the application; common depths are 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 6 to 12 inches for driveways or structural bases. Use our online material calculator for exact quantities to avoid over- or under-ordering, and allow a small overage for settling and compaction. If you need help, our team and local contractors can provide quick estimates based on project type.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation can cause settling, frost heave, or surface washout, especially for loosely compacted materials. Proper base preparation, good drainage, and periodic top-ups or regrading reduce maintenance needs. Choose materials suited to local conditions and plan major placements in drier months when possible.
The busiest months for deliveries and landscaping work are typically spring through early fall, so plan ahead and book your delivery at least a week or two in advance for large jobs. Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Check availability for your zip code early to secure preferred dates.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with local dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, and our minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for qualifying orders; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion but is not guaranteed. Delivery fees and exact truck access depend on your address and supplier availability.
Delivery costs depend on distance from the supplier, access conditions, and the size of your order; Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing in checkout so you can see any fees before you buy. Free delivery is available in many areas, but remote locations, tight access, or special services can add charges. For exact pricing, enter your zip code and project details on our site or contact our team.
Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST in many areas, subject to truck and supplier availability and an additional fee. Same-day delivery may be possible in limited situations when local suppliers and fleets have immediate capacity, but it cannot be guaranteed. Check your zip code and preferred date at checkout to see available options.
Permit and HOA rules vary by property; check with George Town city building or zoning office and your homeowner association before ordering if your project involves changing driveways, grading, or visible exterior work. Some projects require permits for curb cuts, drainage changes, or erosion control. When in doubt, confirm local rules first to avoid delays or rework.
Contractors consider load requirements, compaction needs, drainage, local availability, and cost when recommending materials for driveways, patios, and drainage work. They often prefer locally sourced aggregates that perform well in West Illinois climate and that are readily available for timely delivery. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers so contractors can pick materials that meet site-specific needs.
Natural materials vary by region, so appearance and texture may differ from photos; if the material seems substantially different or unsuitable, contact Hello Gravel customer service right away. We will review the issue and work to resolve it according to our process; for changes, contact us as soon as possible since modifications are easiest before dispatch. You can also add color or texture notes in Order Notes when you place an order.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as you know you need a change; we make our best effort to accommodate modifications before the order is processed or dispatched. Changes may be limited once the supplier or truck is scheduled, and additional fees can apply for reschedules or cancellations. Reach out via phone or the website for the fastest assistance.
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.
