Why Moultrie County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Moultrie County homeowners are working within a region that includes an Austin, Illinois Region city population of 14,979, an expanding metro area of 2.5+ million residents, and a steady 3.30% annual growth rate. That growth translates into more new builds, renovations, and yard overhauls — producing consistent demand for bulk materials for driveways, drainage projects, patios, foundations, and landscape beds. Local climate signals also shape material choices: with 33.50 inches of annual rainfall, 152 sunny days a year, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, projects must balance water management with plant and surface durability. Homeowners need a mix of aggregates, soils, sands, and organic materials that support good drainage, resist erosion, and provide stable bases for paving and structures. Using regionally sourced materials ensures the texture, color, and performance match local soils and contractor practices, helping projects last and reducing rework.Popular Projects in Moultrie County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Moultrie County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Moultrie County.
Prices vary by material, quantity, and delivery distance, but expect a typical range of about $30 to $70 per cubic yard for common aggregate and fill materials in the region. Heavier or specialty materials, short-notice deliveries, and long haul distances can push costs higher, while larger orders may lower the per-cubic-yard price. Use our material calculator or request a quote to get a more accurate estimate for your zip code.
In central Illinois, the most reliable months for exterior work are late spring through early fall (May through October), when ground is less likely to be frozen and soils drain better. Avoid scheduling major deliveries during freeze-thaw cycles or wet springs, as muddy sites make placement and compaction harder and may limit truck access. If you need work in shoulder seasons, plan extra time and consider temporary access measures.
Match material properties to the job: look for good drainage and compaction for driveways, finer graded materials for leveling and top layers, and coarser mixes for base layers and erosion control. Because materials reflect local geology, compare samples and ask about typical uses in Moultrie County before ordering. If you are unsure, use Hello Gravel’s aggregate quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your project and site conditions.
Moultrie County has flat to gently rolling terrain with soils that can hold moisture in low areas, so drainage is a common concern when choosing materials. For wet or poorly draining sites, prioritize materials and base layers that promote water flow and avoid fine materials that retain moisture. Consider grading, installing underdrains or swales, and selecting aggregates suited to local conditions to reduce long-term maintenance.
Permit needs vary by municipality and township; common triggers include driveway changes, new curb cuts, or large commercial deliveries that affect public roads. Check with your township or county public works office before major projects, especially for road approach work or when a delivery requires a culvert or right-of-way work. For delivery-specific questions, contact Hello Gravel and we can help you confirm local requirements.
Hello Gravel generally has a 3-ton minimum order and arranges delivery via local contracted dump trucks, typically tri-axle vehicles. Standard delivery is offered in 2+ business days at no extra fee, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge. Delivery fees can vary by distance, site access, and order size, so check the final price at checkout for your zip code.
Yes, local and seasonal road weight limits or bridge restrictions can affect delivery routes and truck sizes. In spring, some roads may have seasonal weight restrictions; if heavy trucks are restricted, deliveries may require smaller trucks or alternative routing, which can affect cost and timing. Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers who know regional restrictions, but let us know about private roads or tight access so we can plan appropriately.
Estimate the volume of the area (length x width x depth) and convert to cubic yards or tons; our online material calculator can do this for you. For common projects like driveways or beds, contractors often allow a 5% to 10% overage for compaction and waste. If you are unsure about depth or compaction rates in local soils, consult our team for a project-specific estimate.
Maintenance varies by material and use: compacted base layers need occasional regrading or topping, while surface aggregates may require periodic replenishment and weed control. Expect driveways and high-traffic areas to need more frequent attention than decorative beds, and plan for seasonal issues like rutting after wet periods. Choose materials suited to your maintenance tolerance and site conditions to minimize long-term work.
Ordering materials yourself via Hello Gravel is generally less expensive for material costs, but DIY projects add your time, equipment rental, and labor for spreading and compaction. Contractors bring experience, tools, and labor, which can reduce mistakes and speed up installation, but their total cost will be higher due to labor. Evaluate your skill level, the complexity of the job, and the value of your time when deciding between DIY and professional installation.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on safety, access, and the driver’s assessment on arrival. You can request spreading in the Order Notes at checkout, and the driver will determine whether it can be done safely. For guaranteed spreading or full placement services, consider hiring a contractor or scheduling additional labor.
Natural materials can vary due to regional sourcing, so variations in color and texture are normal; include preferences in the Order Notes if color matters. If you need to change or cancel an order, contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; we will try to accommodate changes before dispatch but cannot guarantee all requests. If there is an issue with delivery or material, contact customer service promptly so we can work toward a satisfactory resolution.
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.
