#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.

Why Homewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Homewood has a population of 17,690 and is part of a growing regional market that supports steady residential and commercial activity. With a growth rate of 1.20% annually, demand for renovations, new landscaping, and incremental construction projects tends to be consistent rather than boom-driven, which favors reliable, repeatable supplies of bulk materials. Homewood’s climate—about 228 sunny days each year, roughly 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a planting hardiness zone of 8b—means homeowners and contractors need materials that balance drainage, durability, and UV/weather resistance. That translates into a steady need for well-graded base materials, clean fill, erosion-control aggregates, mulch that resists sun bleaching, and sand or topsoil suited for local plantings. Regional sourcing also affects texture and color, so choosing properly specified materials matters for performance and appearance in Homewood projects.Popular Projects in Homewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Homewood Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Homewood.
Start by matching the material's purpose to your project: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, and appearance. For example, for compaction and support choose a denser aggregate blend while for top dressing or planting beds choose finer materials; consider gravel, sand, dirt, and stone options together when weighing cost and performance. Use our material quiz or contact the Hello Gravel team to get a recommendation based on your specific use and site conditions.
Homewood has cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles, so choose materials and installation windows that handle frost and standing water. Do heavier grading, base work, and deliveries in spring through early fall when ground is not frozen; lighter topdressing can often wait until after the worst of winter. Regional sourcing means materials may perform differently here than in other climates, so plan for local variations.
Measure the area in feet and the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using an online calculator or our material calculator. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so check that against your needs; for irregular areas it's smart to add 5-10% for waste and compaction. If you want help, provide dimensions and project type when you call or request a quote.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by professional dump truck fleets (often tri-axle trucks) and scheduling is confirmed after checkout. Because we work with local suppliers, timing can vary by zip code and truck availability, so check your delivery date in checkout.
Clear a dump area free of low-hanging wires, vehicles, and fragile landscaping, and confirm truck turning and backing room for a tri-axle dump truck. Mark any underground utilities or sprinkler heads and consider a temporary plywood path to protect lawns or pavers. If access is limited, discuss it with our team so we can match an appropriate hauler and delivery plan.
Price depends on material type and grade, distance from the local supplier, truck size, and any special services like next-day delivery or requested spreading. Seasonal demand and local geology also influence material availability and price. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing up front, but your final quote will reflect the specific material, delivery options, and site constraints for Homewood zip codes.
Permits and HOA rules vary by municipality and neighborhood; some projects like driveway changes, retaining walls, or major grading can require permits or design approval. Check with Homewood village offices and your HOA before ordering, and include permit timelines in your project schedule. If you are unsure, our team can point you to common local contacts but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but this service is not guaranteed and should be requested at checkout. Complex spreading, grading, or fine finish work is typically outside the driver's scope and should be arranged with a landscaper or contractor. Plan for possible extra labor or equipment if you need immediate spreading and grading.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; modifications are easier before the order is dispatched to the hauler. We will do our best to accommodate changes but ability depends on processing status and local supplier schedules. For cancellations or disputes, reach our customer service and review our policies for next steps.
Materials reflect local geology and regional sourcing, so texture, color, and particle shape can vary from images. Natural variation is normal for gravel, sand, dirt, and stone, and we recommend adding color or appearance notes at checkout if you have preferences. If the material seems inconsistent with your order, contact customer service and provide photos so we can help resolve it.
Keep leftover materials on a flat, contained surface to reduce runoff and erosion, and cover if rain is expected to avoid muddy runoff onto streets or drains. Use plywood sheets to protect turf under heavy piles and spread material within a few days when possible to minimize compaction damage. For larger projects, stage deliveries to match installation so less material sits on site.
You can use our online material quiz and calculator or contact Hello Gravel sales at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for personalized guidance. Enter your Homewood zip code at checkout to see local availability, pricing, and delivery dates. Our team can recommend material blends suitable for your project and schedule a delivery window that works with your timeline.
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.
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. 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!
