#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
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.
Black Shredded Mulch
Rich black shredded hardwood mulch made from oak, hickory, and maple. Holds in moisture, blocks weeds, and gives your garden beds a bold look that makes green plants and colorful flowers stand out.
Compost
Premium compost packed with organic nutrients—perfect for revitalizing tired soil and supporting strong, healthy plant growth. Ideal for mixing into garden beds, raised beds, and landscapes needing a natural boost.

Why Manito Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Manito is a small but growing community of 3,610 residents situated within the broader West Illinois region. A steady annual growth rate of 1.20% suggests ongoing, incremental demand for housing, driveways, landscaping updates, and small-scale infrastructure — not a boom, but a consistent pipeline of projects. With 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects face both sun exposure and periodic wet spells. That combination means homeowners and contractors in Manito need dependable bulk materials for grading, drainage, erosion control, and durable surfacing. Quality aggregates, soils, mulches, and sands sourced regionally help deliver predictable performance across seasons, reduce rework, and support longer-lasting plantings and hardscapes in the local climate. Manito’s climate and soils create practical choices for material selection. Moderate rainfall means drainage and erosion resistance are priorities; abundant sun increases drying and UV exposure, which affects compaction and surface stability over time. For homeowners, that translates into choosing materials that are properly graded, locally sourced, and sized for expected weather cycles and use patterns. Hello Gravel’s platform helps by connecting you to local suppliers familiar with West Illinois conditions, offering clear pricing, delivery scheduling, and guidance so you can pick materials that match Manito’s specific weather and growth-driven needs.Popular Projects in Manito This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Manito Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Manito.
Homeowners in Manito commonly use a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, garden beds, and grading. These materials are selected for drainage, compaction, appearance, and cost. Regional sourcing means textures and colors may vary, so ask for local samples or photos when choosing.
Choose based on the project load and desired finish: durable, angular materials for driveways and compactable base layers; well-draining mixes for beds and paths; and finer materials for leveling or top dressing. Consider local freeze-thaw cycles, slope, and how much maintenance you want. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or call our team for a tailored recommendation.
Manito has hot summers and cold, snowy winters, so pick materials that handle freeze-thaw and do not trap water. Good drainage, proper base preparation, and materials that compact well will reduce frost heave and erosion. Expect color and texture to vary with local geology, which can affect how materials weather over time.
The most reliable window is late spring through early fall when ground is not frozen and rain is less frequent. Avoid early spring thaw and mid-winter because frozen or saturated ground can delay work and affect material performance. Book deliveries at least a few days in advance and check weather forecasts before scheduling heavy work.
Yes. Check Manito town ordinances, county zoning, and any HOA rules for driveway materials, curb cuts, or visible landscaping changes. Always call 811 to locate underground utilities before digging or installing new drainage features. Your local building or public works office can confirm whether permits are needed for driveways or major grading.
Minimum orders are often around 3 tons, which aligns with Hello Gravel's standard minimum. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, supplier, and load size, and Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing during checkout.
Suppliers may charge by the ton, by the cubic yard, as a flat delivery fee, or a combination depending on the material and distance. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing so you can see the delivery cost before you order. Provide clear delivery instructions, access details, and a flat drop location to avoid extra fees or delays.
Measure the area (length x width x depth) to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons if needed since material density varies. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a quick estimate. Always order a small overage (usually 5-10%) to account for compaction and grading.
Driver tailgate spreading may be available at their discretion and can be requested at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. Many homeowners hire local contractors for full spreading and compaction to ensure correct installation. If you need spreading, note it in order instructions and be prepared that the driver will assess safety and access on arrival.
Consider slope, runoff patterns, and whether water needs to be directed away from structures; choose materials that promote drainage and resist erosion. Use coarser, open-graded mixes where water needs to pass through, and compactable layers where a stable surface is required. Plan for occasional topping, regrading, and winter maintenance when selecting materials.
Yes. Combine material types into a single delivery to reduce truck fees, order larger volumes to lower per-unit cost, and schedule deliveries during off-peak seasons when rates may be lower. Choosing locally sourced materials and consolidating deliveries for multiple projects can also cut costs; ask our sales team about volume discounts and regional options.
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.
