Why Lewis Town Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lewis Town is a community of 10,000 residents that sits within a growing regional market, and its steady 1.20% annual growth rate points to ongoing demand for residential upgrades, new builds, and public infrastructure work. With a wider metro area of 2.6+ million people nearby, local projects are increasingly influenced by regional development and investment. The climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—means homeowners and contractors here balance sun exposure and periodic wet seasons when choosing materials. That balance drives demand for a range of bulk supplies: compactable base materials for driveways and patios, screened topsoil for planting, well-draining gravels for French drains, and UV-resistant mulches for beds and edging. As renovation and landscape trends emphasize durability, drainage, and low-maintenance yards, reliable, locally sourced bulk materials become a practical foundation for projects that withstand Lewis Town’s conditions.Popular Projects in Lewis Town This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lewis Town Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lewis Town.
Homeowners and contractors in Lewis Town most often order bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone as well as mulch and topsoil. These materials cover common needs like driveways, patios, drainage projects, and general landscaping. Local suppliers tend to stock materials that reflect the area's geology and practical needs.
Start by defining the project's purpose—drainage, surface, base, or planting—and the expected load and drainage needs. Choose a material with the appropriate size and compaction characteristics, and consider local factors like freeze-thaw and snow removal. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area and use this formula: (length x width x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using the material conversion on our site or ask our calculator—different materials have different weights. When in doubt, add 5–10% for compaction and settling.
Costs vary by material, truck size, and distance, but in the West Illinois area delivered bulk materials commonly fall within a moderate price range. Expect differences between lightweight materials and dense aggregates, and additional fees for next-day delivery or long-haul drops. Use Hello Gravel to get an instant quote for your specific zip code to see current local pricing.
In Lewis Town, the best months for outdoor material delivery and work are generally late spring through early fall when the ground is not frozen and rain is less frequent. Winter deliveries can be limited by frozen ground, snow, and icy roads, and heavy spring rains can delay work or cause muddy conditions. Plan around local weather forecasts and order early for busy spring and fall seasons.
Lewis Town's freeze-thaw cycles and drainage needs mean you should pick materials that maintain stability and shed water where required. For areas with poor drainage, choose coarser, well-draining materials for base layers and finer top materials where appropriate. Consider snow removal—rounded materials can migrate under plows while angular materials lock together better for durable surfaces.
Many local suppliers will deliver to residential streets and smaller driveways, but access restrictions can apply depending on truck size, overhead wires, and soft ground. Before ordering, note driveway width, any tight turns, slope, or obstacles in Order Notes and confirm access with our team. Drivers will assess on arrival and may refuse unsafe drops; pickups or alternative drop zones may be advised.
Some municipal rules or HOA covenants may affect delivery placement, street blocking, or allowed surface materials, so check with your local town office or HOA before ordering. Permits are sometimes required for curb-to-curb blocking or long-term storage on public streets. If you expect a street closure or special placement, contact Hello Gravel so we can note it and advise on common local practices.
Prices can be similar or slightly lower in smaller towns like Lewis Town because of regional sourcing, but transportation distance and supplier availability influence final cost. Larger nearby cities may have more suppliers and volume discounts, while local deliveries may save on hauling. Get local quotes on Hello Gravel to compare prices for your zip code.
Contractors usually confirm material gradation or mix, source or pit, available quantities, truck size and access, lead times, and any fees for spreading or special placement. They also ask about seasonal availability, backorder risks, and requirements for payment or change orders. Providing clear site details up front speeds up accurate quotes and on-time delivery.
Standard delivery lead time is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Availability can tighten in spring and fall when demand is high and some materials may have seasonal shortages. We recommend ordering early for large projects and checking zip code availability on Hello Gravel.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark the exact placement area with flags or stakes to guide the driver. Consider protecting lawns or soft surfaces with plywood and note any underground utilities or septic fields. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but remember drivers decide on-site whether spreading is safe and feasible.
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.

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.
