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.

1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

Why Kildeer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kildeer, with a city population of 41.1+ million and located inside a metro area of 2.6+ million, is a suburban community where a measured 1.20% annual growth rate points to steady, ongoing demand for homeowner upgrades and light construction rather than sudden booms. That steady growth translates into consistent needs for driveway repairs, yard regrading, garden refreshes, and small additions — projects that rely on a range of bulk materials. Kildeer’s climate, with about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, favors materials and designs that balance drainage with drought resilience. For homeowners that means sourcing quality soils, well-graded aggregates, sand mixes, and mulches that perform year-round; choosing the right bulk materials up front reduces repeat work and extends the life of landscapes and hardscapes. The combination of moderate rainfall and many sunny days creates practical challenges: you need materials that manage runoff during storms but also resist drying, settling, and erosion in sunny stretches. Local soil types and seasonal weather affect compaction, drainage, and plant establishment, so performance depends on correct grading, particle size, and material compatibility. For homeowners, that means selecting materials specified for drainage, compaction, and plant health, and ordering the right quantities. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers, offering calculators and expert guidance, and scheduling deliveries so you get the appropriate bulk materials for Kildeer’s specific conditions without unnecessary guesswork.Popular Projects in Kildeer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kildeer Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Kildeer.
Homeowners in Kildeer typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. These materials are used for driveways, base layers, drainage, plant beds, and decorative surfaces. Local sourcing means texture and color can vary, so check photos and ask suppliers about regional mixes.
Choose based on the function you need: durability and load-bearing for driveways, good drainage for walkways, and appearance for patios or beds. Consider factors like expected traffic, local drainage and freeze-thaw cycles, and whether you want a formal or natural look. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact the sales team for a recommendation.
Materials that drain well and lock together, such as angular crushed aggregates, generally handle freeze-thaw cycles and wet weather better than fine, loose materials. Proper base preparation and compaction are just as important as material choice to prevent heaving and rutting. Because climate and geology vary, choose mixes and installation methods suited to Kildeer’s seasonal changes.
Spring through early fall is usually the easiest time for deliveries and installation, when ground conditions are drier and crews are available. Winter and very wet periods can delay work, make spreading difficult, and increase the chance of surface damage. Plan ahead and allow extra lead time during spring thaw and late-fall wet spells.
Hello Gravel commonly offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum orders are typically 3 tons, and materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). Delivery fees depend on distance, quantity, and site access; many areas have free delivery promotions, so check pricing at checkout.
Some local suppliers and landscape centers sell materials in bags, but most online bulk orders through Hello Gravel start at the minimum truckload threshold (3 tons). If you need a small quantity, check local garden centers or ask about partial-load options when ordering. Keep in mind that buying by the truck is generally more cost-effective for larger projects.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area, then use the formula: volume = area x depth. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 100 sq ft at 3 inches depth (about 324 sq ft at 1 inch). Materials vary in weight, but a good rule is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the material; use Hello Gravel’s calculator for a precise estimate.
Costs depend on material type, quantity, delivery distance, time of year, and any special handling or spreading services. Decorative or imported mixes usually cost more than locally sourced base materials, and installation needs (compaction, edging, geotextile) add to total project cost.

Kildeer properties, especially in subdivisions, may have HOA guidelines or village and county rules that govern driveway surfaces, visible materials, and drainage. Always check your HOA covenants and contact the village or county building department if your project changes impervious surface area or affects stormwater runoff. When in doubt, gather any design requirements before ordering to avoid rework.
Maintenance depends on the material and use: gravel and stone may need periodic raking and top-ups every few years, sand and fine materials can migrate and require replenishing, and dirt surfaces can erode without proper drainage. With good installation and drainage, many aggregate surfaces last several years to decades, but high-traffic areas may need more frequent upkeep. Budget for routine maintenance and occasional refreshes based on your use and local weather.
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.
