Why New Ark Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
New Ark, a city of 100,000, is experiencing steady expansion that is driving ongoing demand for home and infrastructure projects. An annual growth rate of 1.20% points to gradual but consistent development—more driveway repairs, garden regrades, accessory buildings, and small-scale construction rather than a sudden building boom. The local climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—create a long workable season but also specific performance needs: materials must balance drainage, compaction resistance, and UV exposure. That combination makes quality bulk supplies—gravel, sand, topsoil, mulch, and stone—important year-round, helping manage runoff in wet periods, resist breakdown in sun-exposed installations, and speed up projects when homeowners schedule work during favorable weather windows.Popular Projects in New Ark This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - New Ark Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in New Ark.
Delivery cost varies based on material type, quantity, distance from the supplier, and any access or placement challenges. Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum and offers free delivery in many areas; some orders may include a delivery fee or surcharge for remote ZIP codes or difficult drop locations. The fastest way to know is to get a quote on our site or call our team for a price specific to your address and project.
Choose materials that promote drainage and resist movement during freeze-thaw cycles; look for mixes that compact well and shed water rather than trap it. Because regional sourcing affects texture and color, consider local supplier recommendations for gravel, sand, dirt, stone that are proven in the West Illinois climate. Adding a proper base and drainage layer is often as important as material choice for long-term performance.
For most outdoor projects, late spring through early fall offers the most predictable conditions for delivery and installation in New Ark. Winter deliveries are possible but can be complicated by frozen ground or snow, and early spring can be muddy after snowmelt; plan deliveries for drier periods when possible and allow extra lead time in peak season. If you need material quickly, check next-day options and order before noon CST to increase the chance of fast delivery.
Yes. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and some suppliers may set their own minimums or add surcharges for long hauls, small loads, or restricted-access jobs. Availability and fees can vary by ZIP code, so enter your address on the site or contact customer service to see if your location in New Ark has special pricing or zone fees. We’ll show any applicable delivery charges during checkout before you complete your order.
Local rules vary, so check with New Ark city hall or the public works department before placing very large deliveries or creating long-term stockpiles that could block sidewalks, streets, or storm drains. Driveway or street-blocking deliveries may require a permit or notification to the city; larger contractors often handle permits as part of their service. When in doubt, ask our team for guidance and plan deliveries to minimize impact on neighbors and public right-of-way.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen during peak landscaping season or extreme weather, so order early for large projects or time-sensitive installs. We will confirm the expected delivery window when you place your order.
Homeowners commonly order materials for driveways, patios and pathways, garden beds and topdressing, grading and drainage fixes, and erosion control or hardscape base layers. Typical quantity ranges vary by project size—for example, a small garden bed or topdressing might need 0.5 to 2 tons, a compacted driveway base often needs 20 to 40 tons, and larger landscape or grading jobs can require 50+ tons. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate based on your project dimensions and desired depth.
Pros typically measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using a material-specific density factor and add 5-15% waste or compaction allowance. Hello Gravel offers an online material calculator and our sales team can review photos or measurements to provide a quick estimate. When in doubt, order slightly more or arrange a second delivery to avoid delays from underordering.
Start by defining the function (load-bearing driveway vs decorative patio vs planting bed), desired appearance, and drainage needs; this will narrow the choices among gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Ask local suppliers about materials that perform well in West Illinois’s climate and request samples or photos to check color and texture. Also consider maintenance and whether you need a compactable base, edging, or additional drainage to get the best long-term result.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump truck; drivers will place material where access allows but may not enter private yards or perform spreading beyond tailgate at their discretion. Clear a stable drop area, mark utilities or fragile landscaping, and ensure trucks have a safe path to the drop zone; communicate any placement preferences in the Order Notes. If you need special placement or spreading, request it at checkout but know that it is subject to the driver’s assessment and safety considerations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
