Why Highland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Highland has a population of 15,170 and sits within a metro region of 2.6+ million residents. That steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to ongoing demand for home upgrades, new yards, and municipal infrastructure — not a boom but a consistent pipeline of projects. With 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, local homeowners see both plenty of work days and enough wet weather to make drainage, erosion control, and durable surfacing top priorities. In this setting, quality bulk materials — gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — matter because they affect drainage performance, compaction behavior, and how long patios, driveways, and planting beds last under local conditions.Popular Projects in Highland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Highland Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Highland.
Prices for bulk materials vary by type, quantity and local supplier, so costs are usually quoted per ton or per cubic yard. Factors that affect price include material type, delivery distance, seasonal demand and whether spreading is requested; contractors ordering large volumes often receive better rates. For an accurate estimate, enter your Highland zip code at checkout or contact our team for a local quote.
Choose materials based on durability, drainage and freeze-thaw performance rather than brand names; well-graded mixes that compact and shed water work best in Highland’s climate. For hard surfaces, select aggregates that resist frost heave and provide a stable base layer, then top with a finish material suited to the look and use of the area. If you’re unsure, use our material quiz or consult our sales team to match performance needs to appearance preferences.
Permit and zoning rules can vary by neighborhood and project type, especially for changes that affect stormwater or public right-of-way access. Small landscaping jobs often don’t need permits, but additions like new driveway aprons, large retaining walls or changes to drainage may require approval. Check with Highland’s local building or zoning office before ordering large quantities, and notify us if you need delivery documentation for permit applications.
Spring through early fall is the busiest season for deliveries and installations in Highland; ground conditions and mild weather make it ideal for most projects. Winter deliveries are possible but may be slower and subject to road and weather restrictions, and some materials perform differently when frozen. Plan ahead for spring work and consider ordering in off-peak months if you need faster scheduling or lower seasonal demand.
Hello Gravel serves Highland and surrounding West Illinois areas—enter your primary zip code to confirm availability for your address. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and typical delivery is by tri-axle dump truck. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
Focus on materials that promote infiltration and resist erosion; well-draining aggregate mixes and appropriately sized stone layers help move water away from structures. Combine good drainage materials with a proper base, slope, and geotextile if needed to reduce maintenance. Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so consider how color, texture and drainage performance work together for your project.
We provide calculators that estimate tons or cubic yards based on area, depth and material type; different materials have different densities, so a yard of one product may weigh more or less than another. For landscaping and driveway projects, enter your dimensions and intended depth to get a recommended quantity, and add a 5-10% buffer for waste, compaction or grading adjustments. If you need a custom calculation for a complex job, contact our team with project details.
Contractors should plan early—large jobs like parking areas or retaining walls require scheduling with local suppliers and hauling fleets, and lead times can increase in peak season. Bulk pricing and availability improve with advance notice, and contractors may coordinate multiple deliveries to match staging and on-site handling. Tell us project timelines and staging constraints when ordering so we can match you with suppliers and haulers who handle bigger jobs reliably.
Natural materials vary by region, so texture and color can differ from photos; this is normal with locally sourced gravel, sand, dirt and stone. Contact our customer service as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order—changes are easiest before processing and dispatch but may not always be possible. If there’s an issue with delivery or material quality, reach out and we will work to resolve it according to our customer service and refund policies.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and safety permitting; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Most deliveries are made from tri-axle dump trucks and may require clear access, level ground and safe space for dumping. If you need specialized placement or spreading, plan to hire a contractor or landscaping crew and discuss staging needs with our team when you order.
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.
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
