Materials Available for Delivery
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
Mason Sand
A fine, clean sand for construction and masonry. Use it under pavers or turf, mix it into mortar or soil, or spread it across your lawn to smooth out bumps and low spots in your lawn.
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 Livingston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Livingston (city population: 821) sits within a growing West Illinois metro area of 2.6+ million, and a steady annual growth rate of 1.20% points to gradual but consistent demand for housing maintenance and new projects. That steady expansion means more driveways, patios, garden beds, and small-scale site work as homeowners update properties or add outdoor living space. Local climate factors — 228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — shape which materials perform best: surfaces need to resist UV exposure, bases must handle intermittent heavy rain without losing load-bearing capacity, and planting mixes should support species suited to milder winters. For homeowners in Livingston, reliable bulk materials such as durable base stone, drainage-friendly aggregates, quality topsoil, and organic mulch help ensure long-lasting landscaping and infrastructure repairs that stand up to local weather cycles. Livingston's mix of sunny intervals and meaningful seasonal rain creates alternating wet-and-dry conditions that affect compaction, erosion, and settling. Materials that drain well yet compact predictably reduce rutting after storms, while mixes with organic content improve plant establishment in this hardiness zone. For homeowners, that means choosing materials for both performance and seasonality — well-graded bases for driveways, permeable surfaces where runoff is a concern, and friable topsoil for planting beds. Hello Gravel helps by matching locally sourced materials to these conditions, providing online tools and expert guidance so you can pick the right blends and schedule deliveries at times when performance and installation conditions are optimal.Popular Projects in Livingston This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Livingston Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Livingston.
Homeowners in Livingston typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone and similar aggregates depending on the project. For driveways people look for durable, well-draining mixes; for garden beds and grading they often prefer finer materials. Material color and texture can vary locally, so order a small sample or check photos from local suppliers before committing.
Hello Gravel serves Livingston and parts of West Illinois—use our zip code checker to confirm availability in your area. Our platform generally requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers by dump truck; delivery costs and zones depend on supplier location and access. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Freeze-thaw cycles in Livingston can shift and settle loose materials over time, especially if drainage and compaction are inadequate. Choose materials and construction methods that promote drainage and use a compacted base to reduce movement. Expect some settling after the first winter and plan for occasional top-ups or regrading.
Spring through early fall is the easiest time for deliveries and installation, as frozen ground and winter weather can delay hauling and spreading. If you need winter delivery, plan for potential delays and confirm access and thaw conditions with your supplier. For urgent jobs, consider the next-day delivery option but allow extra time for site assessment.
Match material choice to your soil type and drainage needs: well-draining aggregates work for wet spots while finer materials suit top dressing and planting beds. Consider adding a geotextile or base layer where soft soils or poor drainage exist to stabilize the surface. If unsure, share photos and soil notes with our team so we can recommend materials that fit local conditions.
Design driveways with an adequately compacted base, the right aggregate thickness, and good edge support to handle local loads and freeze-thaw stress. Pay attention to drainage away from the driveway to prevent water saturation under the base. Contractors should confirm expected vehicle loads and adjust base depth and material type accordingly.
Service offerings vary by local supplier and hauler; many provide delivery only, while some offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. You can request spreading at checkout, but it is not guaranteed and depends on crew capability and site access. For full installation, ask about referral partners or hire a local contractor experienced with aggregates.
Permit requirements vary by project size and location—check with Livingston village officials, the county highway department, or your township before starting work. Driveway replacements that change access to public roads or stormwater flow may require permits or approvals. When in doubt, contact local authorities early and keep delivery crews informed of any permit conditions.
Use a material calculator to convert your project area and required depth into yards or tons, and always order a small overage (commonly 5-10%) to account for compaction and grading. If your site has slopes or poor compaction, add extra material to compensate. If you need help, Hello Gravel’s calculator and sales team can review your measurements before you order.
Common mistakes include underestimating quantities, ignoring drainage and base preparation, and ordering materials without checking local availability or delivery access. Avoid surprises by measuring carefully, planning for compaction and drainage, and discussing site access with your hauler in advance. Contact Hello Gravel early to confirm pricing, delivery windows, and any special instructions to keep your project on budget.
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.
