Why Lincoln Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lincoln Park homeowners live in a community with a city population of 33,729 and access to a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. A steady annual growth rate of 3.30% annually means more building, remodeling, and outdoor projects are likely year after year—so demand for reliable bulk materials is rising. The local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b with 152 sunny days per year and annual rainfall around 33.50 inches—favor materials that balance drainage and moisture retention. That means homeowners should think about base materials for driveways and patios, topsoil and blends for planting beds, and mulches or ground covers that reduce erosion. Quality, regionally sourced aggregates and soils help projects last longer in these conditions, and predictable delivery makes scheduling renovations and landscaping easier as neighborhood activity increases.Popular Projects in Lincoln Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Park Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lincoln Park.
Start by matching material performance to the job: think drainage, load-bearing, weed control, and appearance. For general hardscape, base or decorative products work best; for planting beds use soil or organic mixes. Consider local climate and note that regional sourcing means gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mulches will vary in color and texture; use our material calculator and quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Most orders start at a 3-ton minimum through our platform, and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days. A next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, and timing depends on supplier and truck availability.
Lincoln Park’s tight lots, alleys, and parking rules mean you should note driveway width, overhead obstructions, and street parking limits when ordering. Drivers usually use tri-axle dump trucks and will assess access on arrival; they may refuse a drop if it is unsafe. Upload site photos and clear delivery notes at checkout to help drivers plan and avoid delays.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the depth you want the material spread, then use a volume calculator. As a rough rule, one cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Use our online calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick, customized estimate.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout. Because safety and equipment limit what drivers can do, spreading is not guaranteed. For guaranteed spreading or detailed installs, we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor.
City agencies, park districts, and local tree services sometimes offer free or low-cost wood chips after tree trimming or removals, and Chicago occasionally runs curbside collection or chipping programs. Availability varies by season and neighborhood, so check city resources, local alderman updates, or community boards; Hello Gravel can also supply bulk mulch if you need scheduled delivery.
Organic products like fresh mulch can sometimes attract termites or rodents if placed right against foundations, while heavy compacted dirt can impede drainage. Choose aged or processed organic products for planting beds, keep mulch pulled back from building foundations, and use well-graded aggregates where drainage and load-bearing are important. If pests are a concern, ask our team for product recommendations suited to urban yards.
Many local suppliers offer volume or recurring-order discounts, and Hello Gravel can coordinate bulk pricing and scheduled deliveries for multi-unit properties. Contact our sales team with project details to get a custom quote and discuss regular delivery options. Discounts depend on quantity, frequency, and local supplier policies.
Standard delivery is scheduled at least 2 business days out, and next-day delivery is possible for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery may be available in limited cases depending on supplier and truck availability, weather, and site access. Placing orders early, providing clear delivery notes, and checking zip-code availability improves chances for faster service.
Yes. Chicago parking rules, posted no-parking zones, and narrow alleys can restrict where trucks can stop to dump, and customers are responsible for any required permits or street closures. Drivers will evaluate site safety on arrival and may place material curbside, in the driveway, or at the end of an alley depending on access. Provide delivery notes and photos, and contact our team if you need help planning for permits or alternate drop locations.
Some suppliers and local contractors offer installation services, but many deliveries are materials-only; Hello Gravel coordinates materials and can help connect you with installers. Installation costs vary widely based on scope, site access, and labor; get multiple estimates and ask for written scopes of work. If you only need materials, we provide transparent pricing and scheduled delivery to help contractors or DIYers plan the install.
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!
