1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel

Why Okawville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Okawville (population 1,920) sits within a growing regional market that reflects steady residential and infrastructure activity. A 1.20% annually growth rate points to gradual but consistent demand for renovations, new drives, and outdoor living projects—enough that homeowners should expect periodic construction and landscaping activity in their neighborhoods. With a nearby metro area of 2.6+ million, local projects also tap wider supply and labor networks. Climate and geography further shape material choices: 228/year sunny days and 35.50 inches of rain mean long stretches of workable weather interspersed with wet periods, while hardiness zone 8b indicates relatively mild winters. Together these conditions favor materials and mixes that balance drainage, compaction resistance, and UV stability—useful for everything from base layers and drainage rock to topsoil and mulches. For Okawville homeowners, reliable bulk materials help speed projects, limit rework, and ensure landscapes and structures stand up to local seasonal cycles.Popular Projects in Okawville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Okawville Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Okawville.
Start by defining the project function: load-bearing surfaces need a stable base, while planting beds need good drainage and top cover. Consider local climate and soil—Okawville's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles favor materials that resist movement and compact well. Use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance on whether gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends are best for your specific project.
Regional sourcing means materials reflect local geology, so texture and color can vary around Okawville. Soil type, grade, and drainage patterns in your yard influence whether you need a compactable base, a drainage layer, or top dressing. Also factor in freeze-thaw cycles in Illinois when choosing materials that hold up to winter conditions.
Late spring through early fall is generally best for deliveries and installations to avoid frozen ground and mud from spring thaw. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Plan ahead for major projects and allow weather windows for grading and compaction.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets; minimum orders typically start at 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery methods are usually tri-axle dump trucks, and regional haulers decide exact drop location and tailgate spreading at their discretion.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of your area and convert to cubic yards or tons using an online calculator. Typical driveway base layers run 4–8 inches deep, while top surface layers are often 2–4 inches; landscaping beds use variable depths depending on plant needs. Use our material calculator or contact our team with dimensions for a quick estimate.
If your yard has clay soils or poor slope, you may need a drainage layer or coarser material to prevent pooling and heaving. Materials that promote permeability and create a stable base are preferred on low-lying or poorly draining sites. Consider adding a geotextile or increased depth of drainage rock where water runoff is an issue.
Materials that compact well and resist shifting tend to perform better through freeze-thaw cycles. Using a properly graded base and good drainage will reduce frost heave regardless of the surface material. Regional material blends often reflect local best practices, but always plan for proper installation and compaction to improve winter performance.
Permit requirements vary by project size and local ordinances; small landscaping changes usually do not need permits, while new driveways or major grading may. Check with Okawville village offices or Washington County before starting work to confirm setback, drainage, and driveway permit rules. If your project affects public right-of-way or stormwater flow, you may need approval.
Price depends on material type, quantity, haul distance, and labor required for special handling or spreading. Rural delivery can add costs for longer haul distances or difficult access; minimum order sizes help keep per-ton prices reasonable. Ask for a detailed quote that breaks out material cost, delivery fee, and any extra services like tailgate spreading.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. Request spreading during checkout and note any access constraints in the Order Notes; the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. Plan for the possibility that you may need to finish spreading or hire local labor if the driver cannot perform the service.
Contact our customer team as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate modification requests, but once materials are loaded or dispatched, options may be limited. Review your order confirmation and reach out quickly to improve the chance of a successful change.

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.
