Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why Hinsdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hinsdale has a city population of 18,281 and sits within a broader metro area of 2.6+ million, a context that helps explain steady demand for building and landscaping work. A growth rate of 1.20% annually means more homeowners are investing in yard upgrades, hardscape repairs, and small additions rather than one-off projects. With a climate marked by 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, material choices must balance sun exposure and periodic heavy precipitation. In practical terms this drives demand for a range of bulk supplies — topsoil and screened dirt for planting beds, drainage-friendly aggregates for low spots, durable bedding materials for paving, and organic mulches for moisture retention. For homeowners, that means buying materials that perform in both dry and wet cycles, arrive on schedule, and match local soil and grade conditions. Local growing conditions — hardiness zone 8b, mixed soils, and weather swings between sunny stretches and wet periods — create specific performance expectations for aggregates and soils. Materials need to support plant health, manage runoff, and resist compaction under seasonal freeze-thaw or heavy rains. Homeowners should think about particle size, drainage characteristics, and organic content when selecting supplies, because local soils and rainfall patterns influence settling, erosion, and plant establishment. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering calculators and guidance so you order the right quantities and delivery timing for your project.Popular Projects in Hinsdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hinsdale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hinsdale.
Look for materials that compact well and shed water when installed over a properly prepared base; durable aggregates that resist movement and rutting work best. Regional sourcing means the appearance and texture of gravel, sand, dirt, stone will vary, so choose a mix designed for load-bearing and pair it with proper grading and edging. Proper installation and drainage matter as much as the material choice.
Freeze-thaw can cause shifting, heaving, and surface breakup if materials trap water or lack a stable base. Choosing materials and construction that promote drainage and using a compacted base reduces damage; expect occasional raking, regrading, or topping up after severe winters. Seasonal inspections after freeze-thaw cycles help catch issues early.
Minimum orders start at about 3 tons for most deliveries through our network, and delivery fees vary by distance, access, and load size. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; many areas qualify for free delivery but confirm your zip code and final price at checkout.
Materials with larger particle sizes and angular shapes drain faster and resist compaction when installed on a permeable base. Combining an appropriate aggregate with slope and sub-base preparation creates effective drainage for yards and walkways; talk to our team about permeable options if stormwater control is a priority.
Spring through early fall is usually the best window for deliveries and installation because ground conditions are stable and crews are available. Winter deliveries are possible but may face access, freeze, and safety challenges, so plan extra time and expect limited installation services in cold weather.
Some village ordinances, historic district rules, or HOA covenants can restrict visible surface materials, colors, and the amount of impervious coverage. Always check with Hinsdale village permitting and your HOA before ordering to ensure your chosen materials comply with local rules.
Material costs are only part of the total; site prep, base work, edging, drainage, and labor often drive the final price. Generally, loose aggregates are less expensive to buy but may require more ongoing maintenance, while harder surfacing and paving systems cost more upfront for materials and installation. Get multiple estimates and factor in long-term maintenance when comparing options.
Check availability by entering your zip code on our site; if service is available we show delivery dates and pricing. You can choose a delivery date at checkout, and contact our team to request changes as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched and may not be possible once a truck is en route.
Permeable aggregates and designs can help manage runoff and are often a good choice in suburban settings like Hinsdale. Eligibility for stormwater credits depends on local programs and permit requirements, so consult the village or your stormwater authority and our team for material recommendations that support green stormwater practices.
Tightly compacted, angular aggregates installed with a firm base tend to shed snow and resist displacement better than fine, muddy materials. Permeable surfaces that drain well reduce ice buildup, but no material is maintenance-free; plan for snow clearing and occasional touch-ups after severe weather.
Measure the area in square feet, choose the desired depth in inches, then multiply area by depth/12 to get cubic feet; divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards and check the material-specific conversion to tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate and guidance.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if site access and safety allow, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess whether it can be done safely when they arrive.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
