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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Why Morrison Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Morrison, population 6,380, sits in a market characterized by steady expansion and increasing home improvement activity. A 1.20% annual growth rate means more building permits, driveway repairs, landscape upgrades, and small infill projects — steady demand rather than a boom — so homeowners benefit from reliable local supply lines and predictable scheduling. Climate and geography shape practical material choices here: with 228 sunny days annually, abundant outdoor work time complements an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches that still requires attention to drainage and erosion control. In this environment, quality bulk materials — gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, stone mixes, and fill dirt — matter because they determine drainage performance, compaction, plant establishment, and long-term stability across yards, driveways, and foundations. Trends toward low-maintenance landscaping, defined outdoor living spaces, and small-scale construction mean homeowners want clear guidance, accurate quantities, and dependable delivery windows.Popular Projects in Morrison This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Morrison Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Morrison.
Costs vary by material type, order size, distance, and site access. In the Morrison area, expect a broad delivered range rather than a fixed price; many homeowners pay within a mid-range per ton or per cubic yard for common materials, while specialty or small orders can be higher. Use our checkout to get an instant quote for your zip code and project size.
Choose materials that promote drainage and resist freeze-thaw movement, such as well-graded aggregates placed over a compacted base with good slope. For any project, consider gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a system: base material for support, a drainage layer where needed, and a surface aggregate suited to traffic and appearance. Local suppliers can advise on mixes that reflect regional geology and perform well in West Illinois conditions.
Small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but larger deliveries or those that block public streets, create heavy truck traffic, or change drainage may need city or county permits. HOA rules can restrict types, colors, and quantities of materials placed on properties, so check with your HOA and the City of Morrison before ordering. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or local authorities for guidance.
Slope finished surfaces away from structures, provide a stable, compacted base, and include drainage layers or pipes where water collects. Use geotextile fabric on soft soils, compact materials in lifts, and avoid placing frost-susceptible soils at surface levels. Proper grading and combining gravel, sand, dirt, stone components for structure and drainage reduces heaving and puddling over time.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Suppliers serving Morrison typically operate within roughly 20-40 miles, but exact radius depends on the local hauler; check availability by entering your zip code. Remote or small-lot deliveries may incur additional fees or longer lead times.
Many local contractors prefer reliable bulk deliveries from regional suppliers that offer consistent gradation and predictable delivery windows. They often order material blends staged for phasing (base, bedding, and surface) and coordinate delivery timing to match excavation and compaction work. Contractors value upfront pricing, dependable haulers, and easy reordering for ongoing jobs.
Calculate cubic yards with: length(ft) x width(ft) x depth(ft) divided by 27. To estimate tons, multiply cubic yards by the material's typical density; most aggregates fall between about 1.2 and 1.6 tons per cubic yard, but dirt or wet materials can be heavier. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a project-specific estimate and round up to allow for compaction and waste.
Yes. Rural deliveries may face narrow or unpaved roads, long driveways, low-hanging wires, or field turns that require smaller trucks or additional handling fees. City deliveries can be restricted by street parking, curb access, and time-of-day rules that affect truck access and offloading. Share clear site notes at checkout and consider a site visit or photos for smoother delivery planning.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for outdoor deliveries and installations in West Illinois because ground is not frozen and weather is more predictable. Winter deliveries can be done but may be limited by frozen or muddy ground, snow removal needs, and trucking constraints. Book early in peak season to secure preferred dates and avoid weather-related delays.
Natural materials vary by region, so color, texture, and size can differ from photos; this is normal with local sourcing in West Illinois. If the material differs significantly from your expectations, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. Review our order notes and add color or texture preferences before ordering to help suppliers match your needs.
Use the Hello Gravel website and enter your Morrison zip code to see suppliers and haulers that serve your area. Suppliers are regionally sourced, so materials will reflect local geology and will typically come from nearby distribution yards or quarries. If you need guidance on material selection or delivery logistics, contact our sales team for local recommendations.
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.
