Materials Available for Delivery
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.
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.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
#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.
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.

Why Junction Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Junction is a small but active community (city population 350) sitting within a larger, expanding metro (metro area population 2.6+ million). A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually means more home renovations, yard upgrades, and infill construction — steady demand rather than a boom — so homeowners and contractors should plan for ongoing, predictable needs rather than one-time spikes. Local climate and geography play a big role: with 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of rainfall each year in hardiness zone 8b, projects must balance dry-weather UV exposure with periodic wet conditions. That mix makes material choices important — from structurally stable base materials for driveways and pads to drainage-friendly aggregates, native-compatible topsoil blends, and weather-resistant landscape surfacing. In this environment, quality bulk materials improve long-term performance, reduce maintenance, and support the kinds of outdoor living, garden, and small-construction projects that are common here. Moderate rainfall and abundant sun create cycles of wetting and drying that affect settlement, compaction, and erosion. Materials that drain well and resist washout perform better after heavy rains, while UV-stable mulches and finishes hold up under long sunny stretches. For homeowners, that means prioritizing permeability, proper grading, and materials sized for both load-bearing and surface stability rather than decorative looks alone. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand regional geology, offering calculators and guidance to match materials to site conditions, and scheduling deliveries when weather and project timing align. We make it easier to choose and receive the right bulk supplies for Junction’s specific needs.Popular Projects in Junction This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Junction Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Junction.
Think about load, drainage, and appearance for your project. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone each perform differently for support and drainage, so choose a material that matches the use (driveways need stronger, better-draining mixes; garden beds may need cleaner, finer material). Use our material quiz or contact our sales team for recommendations based on your project and local conditions.
Depth and area determine how much material you need: common depths are about 3-4 inches for walkways, 4-6 inches for driveways, and deeper for structural bases. Our online calculator can convert your square footage into tons, and plan on ordering an extra 5-10% for compaction and waste. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons.
Yes. Junction’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and spring rains can affect compaction and spreading, so many customers schedule deliveries in late spring through early fall when ground is firmer. Wet or frozen ground can delay delivery or make spreading difficult, and frozen-season deliveries may be limited. If timing is critical, choose next-day delivery (if available) or consult our team for best scheduling.
Check local building department rules and any HOA guidelines before ordering, especially for driveways, curb cuts, or visible front-yard changes. Small landscape deliveries often don’t require permits, but any change that affects stormwater, easements, or public right-of-way may need approval. If you’re unsure, contact your municipality or HOA before placing an order.
Orders are booked online and matched with a local supplier and contracted hauler; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries use dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and drivers will confirm access and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. We work to provide clear pricing and a scheduled delivery date at checkout.
Clear a stable drop area free of low-hanging wires, vehicles, and obstacles and make sure the truck can safely access the location. Protect lawns, paved surfaces, and plants with plywood or matting if the ground is soft, and mark the preferred dump spot with stakes or cones. If access is limited, tell us at checkout so the driver can plan the safest option.
Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading but this is performed at their discretion based on safety and equipment limitations. You can request spreading at checkout, but we cannot guarantee the service. For precise grading or professional finish work, we recommend hiring a local contractor who specializes in spreading and compaction.
Because we source materials regionally, texture and color can vary from photos and samples, which is normal for natural aggregates. If the material seems unsuitable, contact our customer service promptly so we can review the issue and work toward a resolution. See our policies for refund or return details if needed.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, and distance from local suppliers, so exact costs differ from job to job. For small residential orders in West Illinois, customers typically see a wide range depending on material and delivery needs—requesting an online quote will give the most accurate price. We provide transparent pricing up front so you can compare options before you buy.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easiest to make before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications may not be possible once processing or dispatch has started and fees may apply. If you need help, call or text our sales team for the fastest response.
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.
