Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
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.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.

Why Louisville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Louisville is a small, steadily growing city of 2,520 residents that sits within a larger region of expanding development—its metro area counts 2.6+ million people and the local market is increasing at about 1.20% annually. That steady growth translates into predictable demand for homeowner and contractor projects: new yards, driveway repairs, small additions, and routine landscaping. In a climate with 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, materials need to perform through wet and dry cycles, support drainage, and sustain plantings suited to hardiness zone 8b. For Louisville homeowners, that means sourcing a range of bulk materials—topsoil and dirt for planting beds, sand and fines for grading, aggregates for stable bases, and mulches and soils to support irrigation plans. Quality, locally sourced bulk supplies matter here because they reflect regional geology and weather resilience, reducing rework and helping projects last longer.Popular Projects in Louisville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Louisville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Louisville.
Start by matching the material's function to the job: choose something load-bearing and compactible for driveways, something well-draining for drainage projects, and something decorative for garden beds. In Louisville's local market you’ll typically choose from a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, stone; regional sourcing means texture and color vary. Use our material quiz or talk to our team for site-specific guidance based on slope, drainage, and use.
Typical homeowner orders vary: small garden beds or walkways often use 1–5 tons (about 0.8–4 cubic yards), a single-car driveway usually needs 10–20 tons (about 8–15 cubic yards) depending on depth, and larger driveways or heavy-use areas can be 20–50+ tons. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of aggregate is roughly 1.2–1.4 tons, but that depends on material density. Use our online calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a precise estimate.
Delivery fees depend on supplier proximity, road access, and order size; many customers in small Illinois towns see free or low-cost delivery on typical orders, while remote or hard-to-access jobs may carry a higher fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and shows upfront pricing at checkout so you can see any delivery charge before you buy. If you have unusual access constraints or need off-road delivery, mention them when ordering so we can provide an accurate cost.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring or summer storms in West Illinois can cause settling, washout, or mud, so plan earth-moving and spreading for drier, milder windows—late spring through early fall is often best. Some materials compact poorly or wash away if installed before heavy rain, while others tolerate freezing conditions better. If a job must happen in winter or after rain, expect extra site prep and potential delays; our team can advise on timing for your specific materials.
Local weight and bridge restrictions are set by county and township road authorities and can vary; many suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks that are routine for rural deliveries but may be restricted on narrow or weak township roads. Before ordering, check with your township or county highway department and note any low bridges, narrow lanes, or residential parking rules in your Order Notes. If special permits or smaller trucks are required, tell us early so we can coordinate with the supplier and carrier.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it depends on safety, site conditions, and local regulations. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess upon arrival whether it is safe and feasible; Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. For predictable results, consider hiring a local contractor for final grading and compaction.
Standard delivery is typically available within 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout, and we will confirm timing after connecting you with a local supplier. Keep in mind that weather, truck availability, and local restrictions can affect scheduling.
For many projects, labor, site prep, grading, and compaction can be equal to or greater than the material cost—especially for driveways where proper base preparation is important. As a rough guide, installation and contractor labor often represent 40%–70% of the total project cost, though this varies by scope and local rates. Ask for a site assessment if you want an estimate that separates materials from installation expenses.
Choose materials that shed water and compact well for driveways, and those that resist washout for drainage lines and slopes; durable, angular aggregates generally perform better under freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain. Because suppliers in Louisville source regionally, look for local options that suit your project's function—gravel for load-bearing paths, sand/dirt mixes for leveling or soil work, and crushed stone for compacted bases. Our team can recommend material families that balance durability, maintenance, and cost for your site.
Clear the planned drop zone of debris, mark any underground utilities, and ensure a stable, accessible approach for a tri-axle dump truck; narrow roads, low-hanging branches, and soft ground can prevent trucks from getting close. Note your preferred drop location in the Order Notes and tell us about obstacles so the supplier can plan the correct truck size. If access is limited, consider a smaller truck, a temporary staging area, or hiring local labor to move material from the drop to the work area.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible — changes are easier to make before the order is dispatched, and we will work with the supplier and carrier to accommodate requests when we can. If there is a delivery problem or you believe the material does not match your expectations, report it promptly so we can investigate and help resolve the situation. See our order and refund policies for details and next steps.
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.
