Materials Available for Delivery
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.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.

Why Lockport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lockport is a growing community with a city population of 32,630 and ties to a larger metro area population of 2.6+ million—facts that point to steady local demand for home improvements and new construction. A growth rate of 1.20% annually means projects for driveways, patios, drainage upgrades, and landscaping are likely to continue at a measured pace rather than in sudden bursts. With an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches and 228 sunny days per year in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners need materials that balance drainage and moisture retention: well-graded aggregates and free-draining base mixes for hardscapes, blended soils and mulches for planting beds, and UV-stable surface materials for exposed areas. These conditions make consistent, locally sourced bulk supplies—gravel, dirt, sand, mulch, and stone—important for durable results and predictable installation timelines. Local weather and soil characteristics shape how materials perform over time. Moderate rainfall combined with frequent sun increases the importance of drainage design, erosion control, and materials that compact reliably under traffic but still shed water. For homeowners, that means choosing mixes that match site drainage, selecting soils suited to local planting zones, and planning deliveries for drier windows when possible. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers whose materials reflect the area's geology, providing quantity calculators and scheduling options so you can pick the right product and delivery date for Lockport conditions—reducing waste and rework on your project.Popular Projects in Lockport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lockport Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lockport.
It depends on traffic, budget, and drainage needs. In Lockport's climate, choose a material that compacts well and sheds water to avoid freeze-thaw damage; many customers compare options from our gravel, sand, dirt, stone group to find the right balance of stability and cost. Talk to our team if you need help matching a material to your driveway use and slope.
Measure the length and width to get square feet, multiply by desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27). As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard of common aggregate equals about 1.3 tons, so multiply cubic yards by 1.3 for a rough tonnage estimate; contact us for a precise calculation based on material density. Example: a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep needs about 6 cubic yards (roughly 8 tons).
Delivery cost varies with distance, load size, and site access rather than a flat local rate. Hello Gravel provides upfront pricing in checkout, and many Lockport orders qualify for free delivery; keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery has an extra fee. Get a quote online or contact our team to see specific pricing for your address and project size.
Materials that drain well and lock together when compacted tend to perform best through freeze-thaw cycles. Proper base preparation, good grading, and compaction are often more important than the exact material, so evaluate options from our gravel, sand, dirt, stone group with drainage and compaction in mind. For high-traffic areas consider a layered approach with a stable base and a wear surface suited to your use.
Spring through early fall is the easiest time to schedule installations because ground conditions and access are more predictable. Winter deliveries are possible but can be limited by weather and site accessibility, so plan ahead and use our delivery calendar to choose a date; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. If you have a tight timeline, contact our team early so we can coordinate with local suppliers and haulers.
We work with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Lockport and surrounding zip codes, including primary zip 60441 and nearby areas. Coverage can vary by material and supplier, so check your zip code on our site or contact us to confirm service to your exact address. We can also advise on staging, access, and best delivery placement for your property.
Small, simple projects like a garden bed refresh or a short gravel path can be good DIY jobs if you have basic tools and a helper. Hire a contractor for projects that require heavy equipment, precise grading, complicated drainage, or permits, or if you want a guaranteed finish and faster completion. If you are unsure, our team can help you estimate material needs and suggest whether a contractor is recommended.
Permit and regulation requirements depend on the scope of work, location, and whether you alter public right-of-way or stormwater patterns. Check with the City of Lockport and any homeowners association before major deliveries or driveway modifications, and let our team know if street blocking or special truck access is needed so we can coordinate with haulers. For permit questions we recommend contacting local building or public works departments for the most accurate guidance.
Low-maintenance choices prioritize good drainage, low settling, and resistance to erosion; consider materials that blend stability with low upkeep from our gravel, sand, dirt, stone group. Combining a stable base, weed barrier fabric, and a top layer suited to your look will reduce long-term maintenance in Lockport's freeze-thaw conditions. If you want low water and low upkeep landscaping, ask our team for material options and installation tips.
Recycled and crushed materials can be a cost-effective and sustainable choice, but quality and consistency vary by supplier. They often perform well for base layers and general fill, so discuss project requirements with our sales team to ensure the recycled option meets load-bearing and drainage needs. We can include recycled choices in your quote and point out any local considerations.
Deliveries typically use tri-axle dump trucks and require clear access and a safe drop zone; our minimum order is 3 tons and drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion if requested at checkout. Schedule at least 2 business days for standard delivery or choose next-day for an extra fee if you order before noon CST, and notify us of any tight access, low-hanging wires, or HOA rules ahead of time. We will confirm delivery details and coordinate with the local hauler to minimize surprises on arrival.
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.
