1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

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.
Drain Rock
A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.

Why La Grange Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
La Grange Park, with a population of 12,750, sits in a steadily expanding regional market (metro area population of 2.6+ million) and is experiencing measured growth of 1.20% annually. That steady expansion means consistent demand for home improvement, landscaping, and small-scale construction projects rather than boom-or-bust spikes. In practical terms, homeowners are increasingly investing in durable outdoor upgrades, drainage improvements, garden beds, and hardscape repairs. Local climate and geography—228 sunny days annually, 35.50 inches of precipitation per year, and a hardiness zone of 8b—shape the kinds of bulk supplies that perform best here. In this environment, quality bulk materials matter because they determine drainage, erosion control, long-term stability, and plant success; choosing the right blends and gradations helps protect driveways, pathways, planting areas, and foundations from routine weather stressors. La Grange Park's combination of frequent sunshine and moderate rainfall creates cycles of drying and wetting that influence material performance. Materials need to balance permeability and compaction resistance so surfaces hold up to summer sun and spring or storm-season runoff; mild winters reduce extreme freeze-thaw cycles but do not eliminate the need for proper base and drainage design. For homeowners, that means selecting materials that match slope, intended use, and site drainage rather than picking solely on color or price. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you with local suppliers who understand regional geology, offering quantity calculators and scheduling options, and providing guidance so choices reflect La Grange Park's specific climate and development patterns.Popular Projects in La Grange Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - La Grange Park Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in La Grange Park.
Landscape supply refers to bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone used for yards and construction. These materials are sized and sourced locally, and they serve purposes like drainage, base layers, soil improvement, and decorative surfacing. Choosing the right supply depends on the project function, site conditions, and local climate.
Look for a supplier that offers clear pricing, online ordering, scheduled delivery, and local knowledge of materials. Check minimum order amounts, delivery method (dump truck), customer reviews, and whether they can answer questions about regional materials and site access. Get a few quotes and confirm timing and any additional fees before ordering.
The 70/30 garden rule is a simple mix guideline: about 70% mineral soil or topsoil to 30% organic matter for planting beds. It creates a balance of structure and nutrients for most garden plants, but you should adjust the ratio for specific plants and La Grange Park soil tests. If you need help, ask our team for recommendations on dirt and soil amendments.
The least expensive option depends on the job and local availability; in many cases bulk dirt or crushed stone is cheaper per ton than specialty decorative materials. However, long-term performance matters: a low-cost base that compacts and drains well can save money on maintenance. Choose materials based on function first (drainage, support, or appearance) and cost second.
The rule of three is a design principle that groups elements in odd numbers to create visual interest; it also helps with material layering in projects. For example, use a base layer, drainage layer, and top layer when building paths or patios, or combine three complementary textures or sizes of aggregates for a balanced look. Applying this idea helps you pick the right combination of materials for both function and aesthetics.
Labor rates vary based on experience, scope, and season, but many landscapers in suburban Illinois work in a ballpark range that depends on task complexity. For accurate budgeting, get written estimates for the specific job and ask whether material costs and delivery are included. Hello Gravel can supply materials directly so you can compare material-only pricing to contractor bids.
What $1,000 covers depends on materials chosen and the project size; it could refresh a small patio base, create a modest pathway, top-dress several garden beds, or add decorative surfacing to a seating area. Use our material calculator to estimate quantities and contact the team for a rough cost estimate based on local material pricing and delivery options.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards: (area x depth) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material-specific density, or use an online calculator for a quick result. If you prefer, send dimensions to our team and we will help estimate quantities for common materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders may apply and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). Provide clear drop-off instructions, check for access limitations, and plan extra time for busy seasons.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading at checkout and note any access issues or preferred drop locations, but be prepared to do or hire spreading if the driver cannot. We recommend clear communication in the order notes to improve the chances the driver can help.
Yes. La Grange Park's freeze-thaw cycles and spring wetness can affect delivery and material performance; for example, deliveries in winter risk frozen piles and spring deliveries can be muddy. Schedule major deliveries in drier months when possible, and choose materials and depths that suit local drainage and frost-heave risks. Our team can advise on timing based on local conditions.
Materials are regionally sourced, so color and texture reflect local geology and natural variation. Photos are representative, not exact matches, and batches can differ from load to load. If color or texture is important, note your preference at checkout and contact customer service for guidance before ordering.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order moves into processing or dispatch. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but ability to change or cancel depends on supplier and trucking schedules. See our order policy for more details and contact info to start a change request.
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.
