Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
#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.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
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 Mapleton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mapleton is a small but active community of 3,570 residents that is seeing steady demand for housing and yard improvements as the broader region grows (the metro area totals 2.6+ million people). A growth rate of 1.20% annually means homeowners and contractors are increasingly investing in upgrades, repairs, and new landscaping rather than waiting for large development cycles. Combined with 228/year sunny days and a moderate 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, this environment supports year-round exterior work but places a premium on materials that manage both wet-weather runoff and dry-season settling. For Mapleton projects, dependable bulk supplies — from soils and sand to aggregates and mulch — matter because they determine drainage, longevity, vegetation success, and how often surfaces will need maintenance.Popular Projects in Mapleton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mapleton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Mapleton.
For driveways, walkways, and patios in Mapleton, choose materials that offer the right balance of drainage and stability. A mix of angular aggregates for a stable base plus a top layer suited to foot or vehicle traffic is common; gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends can be used depending on the look and load. Consider local freeze-thaw cycles and wet periods when choosing particle size and compaction needs. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team to help match options to your project.
Most residential orders start at our minimum of 3 tons, which covers small projects like a few yards of base or mulch. For driveways or large landscaping jobs you can estimate amounts with our calculator, and contractors often order in larger, bulk increments to reduce unit cost. Delivery minimums and haul fees can vary by supplier and distance from Mapleton (zip 61547), so check your quote before confirming.
Standard delivery is typically scheduled for 2 or more business days and is available on our checkout calendar. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, subject to supplier and truck availability. Rural or restricted access locations around Mapleton can increase lead time, so book earlier during busy seasons.
Quotes commonly reflect the material, haul distance, and quantity, plus any special access charges for long driveways or sites that need smaller trucks. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout and many areas offer free delivery; next-day scheduling or tailgate spreading may add fees. Ask about any local unloading constraints or permits that could add costs prior to delivery.
Some properties in Mapleton or nearby subdivisions may have HOA rules, local ordinances, or township requirements that govern driveway materials, grading, and erosion control. Before ordering, check with your HOA, township office, or building department to confirm restrictions, setback rules, and whether a permit is needed. Inform us of any access limitations or time windows so we can coordinate with suppliers and drivers.
Mapleton and the West Illinois region experience seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and a mix of loamy and clay-influenced soils that can hold water or shift if not properly prepared. Choose materials and installation methods that improve drainage and reduce frost heave risk, such as well-graded base layers and proper compaction before top layers are added. If you are unsure about subgrade conditions, consider a soil test or consult a local contractor for recommendations.
The main factors are haul distance from the supplier, the total tonnage ordered, site access and unloading difficulty, and any requested services like tailgate spreading. Truck type and regional availability of materials near Mapleton also affect price, as regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology. Providing accurate delivery location details and photos when possible helps suppliers give a more accurate quote.
For erosion control and slope work in the Mapleton area, heavier aggregates and properly sized stone mixes combined with vegetation or geotextile underlays are commonly cost-effective solutions. Using graded material for toe and surface protection and pairing it with planting or simple terraces reduces ongoing maintenance. Costs vary with quantity and hauling distance, so request a site-specific recommendation for the most economical approach.
The most convenient months for deliveries and outdoor work in West Illinois are generally late spring through early fall when ground is not frozen and weather is more predictable. Winter deliveries are possible but may face delays, access issues, or added fees due to frozen ground and road conditions. Book earlier in spring and summer to secure trucks and preferred dates, especially for larger projects.
Yes, local suppliers and contracted haulers commonly serve rural and suburban addresses near Mapleton, but delivery radii and truck types vary by supplier. Expect drivers to need clear access for a tri-axle dump truck, a level area for safe unloading, and accurate directions to long driveways or gated properties. If access is tight, ask about smaller truck options or additional unloading charges when you place your order.
Contractors typically price installation separately from materials; small jobs are often billed by the hour, by the square foot, or as a lump-sum that includes labor and equipment. Material-only delivery through Hello Gravel tends to be lower upfront, but you will need to factor in compaction, grading, and spreading labor if you are not doing the work yourself. For accurate budgeting, get a written material quote and separate installation estimate from local contractors and compare combined costs.
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.
