Why Lyons Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lyons is a community of 8,940 residents situated inside a broader regional market of 2.6+ million people. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually points to consistent demand for home improvements, landscaping updates, and incremental construction rather than a short boom—meaning materials and contractor availability should remain reliable over time. With 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, the local climate supports year-round projects but creates particular needs for drainage, durable base layers, and erosion control. Homeowners in Lyons benefit from choosing aggregates, soils, and mulches that compact predictably, shed water where needed, and tolerate wet-dry cycles. Because suppliers serving a metro of 2.6+ million typically source regionally, you can match project goals to materials that have proven performance in nearby conditions.Popular Projects in Lyons This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lyons Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lyons.
Homeowners in Lyons often choose materials based on durability, drainage, and appearance. Common choices include mixtures of gravel, sand, dirt, stone for bases and top layers; each works differently for driveways, pathways, patios, and garden beds. Local climate and the look you want usually determine the best option.
Start by matching the material to the project: load-bearing areas need a stable, compactable base while garden beds and top dressing can use looser materials. Consider drainage, maintenance, appearance, and budget, and use a material calculator or contact our team for recommendations tailored to Lyons conditions. We can also help you plan layers (base vs top) and offer guidance on local variations.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth to get volume, then convert to cubic yards; for example, a 1,000 sq ft area at 3 inches deep is about 9.3 cubic yards. Because material density varies, use our online calculator or ask our team for a conversion to tons. Ordering a little extra (5-10%) is common to account for compaction and waste.
Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain in Lyons can cause settling, rutting, or washout if drainage and compaction are inadequate. Choose materials and installation methods that shed water, include proper grading, and use edging or geotextile where needed. Regular maintenance like topping up high-traffic areas helps extend performance through seasonal cycles.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Spring and fall are prime seasons for landscaping and driveway projects because ground conditions are favorable; avoid scheduling major deliveries during heavy winter freeze or very wet periods when possible. Place orders early in busy seasons to secure preferred dates.
Most deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (commonly tri-axle) and Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. You can choose a delivery date at checkout, many areas have free standard delivery, and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion. Drivers will assess site access on arrival; provide detailed access notes in your order to reduce issues.
Yes. Narrow streets, low overhead wires, cul-de-sacs, bridge weight limits, and on-street parking can restrict truck access in some Lyons neighborhoods. Check driveway width, overhead clearances, and whether a permit or parking restrictions apply, and add access instructions at checkout so the hauler can plan the safest drop-off. If trucks cannot reach the desired spot, they may drop material at the nearest accessible location.
Permit and HOA requirements vary depending on the scope of the project. Small deliveries usually do not need a municipal permit, but permanent changes like new driveways, significant grading, or curb cuts may require village permits or HOA approval. We recommend checking with the Village of Lyons and your HOA before ordering to confirm any local rules.
Prices depend on material type, quality, quantity, and local hauling costs; typical ranges in the area often fall broadly between $25 and $100 per cubic yard, with per-ton pricing varying similarly. Delivery fees and minimums depend on distance, access, and schedule; contact us for an upfront quote for your zip code and project size. We provide transparent pricing and can confirm any extra fees before you place the order.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos; if you have a preference, note it at checkout and contact our team to discuss options. For order changes, contact us as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched. If there is an issue on delivery, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve it according to our policies.
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.

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!
