Why Laplace Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Laplace is a growing community of 28,900 residents, situated within a larger metro region of 2.6+ million people. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually signals consistent demand for housing updates, new builds, and infrastructure work rather than sudden booms—meaning contractors and homeowners can expect ongoing projects and regular need for bulk materials. With 228 sunny days a year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, the local climate supports long construction seasons but also requires materials that handle both UV exposure and periodic wet conditions. For homeowners that means thinking beyond appearance: gravels and crushed stone for drainage, sands and topsoil for planting and grading, and durable aggregates for driveways and patios. Sourcing quality, regionally appropriate supplies helps projects last longer and reduces callbacks or patching later on.Popular Projects in Laplace This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Laplace Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Laplace.
Standard delivery times are generally 2+ business days after order confirmation, with next-day delivery sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead times can vary by supplier, seasonal demand, and truck availability in the West Illinois region, so check your zip code and selected delivery date at checkout.
Prices vary by material type, local availability, and order size, and are commonly quoted per ton or per cubic yard. Use Hello Gravel's online calculator or request a quote for an accurate per-unit price for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates, and expect larger orders to lower the per-unit cost.
Spring through fall is usually the most convenient window for deliveries and installation because ground conditions are more predictable; freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains can complicate grading and compaction in winter and wet seasons. Deliveries can still occur in cold months, but access, spreading, and finish work may be limited by frozen or muddy conditions.
Local soils and drainage vary in West Illinois, and many homeowners encounter clay or poorly draining native soils, low spots, and frost-susceptible ground. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage—for example using permeable aggregates, adding a base of free-draining stone, or installing geotextile—to reduce water pooling and frost heave risks.
Use Hello Gravel's zip-code lookup to see local suppliers that serve Laplace; each supplier sets their own delivery radius and minimum order. Our platform shows available delivery dates and notes minimum order requirements (Hello Gravel's minimum order is typically 3 tons), but check your specific quote for any supplier-specific rules or distance-based fees.
Permit requirements depend on project scope and location; driveway replacements, new curb cuts, major grading, and large drainage changes often require city, county, or township permits and may need utility locates. Check with Laplace municipal offices, county planning or public works, and any HOA before ordering materials for a major installation.
Contractors generally provide an itemized quote that separates material costs, hauling/delivery, and labor/equipment for site prep, grading, compaction, and spreading. DIY purchases save on labor but may require renting equipment and more time; ask contractors for written breakdowns so you can compare material-only pricing against all-in installation bids.
Measure area in feet, multiply length x width x desired depth (in feet), then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth / 27). For weight estimates, ask your Hello Gravel quote whether the material is sold by ton or cubic yard—different aggregates have different densities—then use the online calculator or contact our team for help.
Additional charges depend on distance from the supplier, truck access, site difficulty, and optional services like tailgate spreading or offloading equipment. Some areas include free delivery in the quote; others add distance-based fees, tip/hauling surcharges, or charges for specialized trucks, so always review the final quote and ask about any potential extra fees.
Common approaches include using well-graded, angular aggregates for drainage channels, installing retaining features or terraces, and combining geotextile fabric with rock and vegetative cover to stabilize slopes. The best solution depends on slope angle, soil type, and local rainfall patterns—consult with a local contractor or our team to choose the right combination of materials and installation methods.
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!
