Why Orland Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Orland Hills has a city population of 6,893, and steady expansion at a 1.20% annual growth rate is translating into consistent demand for home upgrades, infill projects, and new construction. That steady growth, combined with a climate that records 228/year sunny days and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b, means homeowners need materials that balance durability and drainage. In practice this drives interest in reliable base materials for driveways and paths, stabilized mixes for erosion control, and plenty of topsoil and mulch for planting beds that must retain moisture through dry spells. Contractors and DIYers in the area increasingly look for bulk deliveries of dirt, sand, stone, and organic materials that reflect regional geology and perform well under local weather patterns. Orland Hills's moderate rainfall and frequent sunshine create two practical requirements: materials must shed water where needed but also resist excessive drying and breakdown from sun exposure. Soils and locally sourced aggregates can vary in texture and color, which affects compaction, permeability, and how surfaces age. For homeowners that means selecting materials with the right gradation and organic content for the intended use, and timing deliveries around weather for best results. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers, offering scheduling options, and providing calculators and guidance so you order the right tonnage and product for Orland Hills conditions.Popular Projects in Orland Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Orland Hills Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Orland Hills.
Homeowners typically choose materials that balance durability, drainage, and appearance. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone are selected based on traffic load, desired look, and how well they compact or shed water. For high-traffic driveways people prefer mixes that compact well and resist rutting, while lower-traffic or decorative drives often favor materials that offer color and texture.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a material-specific conversion (many aggregates weigh about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard) to estimate tons. Use our online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle), so provide clear access instructions, gate codes, and preferred placement in the Order Notes. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that serve Orland Hills and surrounding West Illinois suburbs, but availability depends on your zip code, so check during checkout. Our minimum order is generally 3 tons, and pricing or free delivery offers can vary by supplier and distance. Contact our sales team if you have questions about minimums or bulk pricing for larger projects.
Materials that offer good compaction and drainage tend to perform better through freeze-thaw cycles because they reduce water retention that causes heaving. Choosing aggregates that allow water to drain and combining proper base preparation helps reduce winter damage. Seasonal maintenance like regrading and topping up low spots before freeze-thaw season also improves longevity.
Spring through early fall is usually best for installation because the ground is easiest to work and materials compact better in moderate temperatures. Deliveries can occur year-round, but winter deliveries may be affected by snow, frozen ground, or limited truck access. Plan ahead and check weather forecasts when scheduling, and consider next-day delivery if your timeline is tight.
Pick materials that promote surface drainage and pair them with good site prep like grading, geotextile fabric, and retaining measures where needed. Well-draining aggregates and proper slope shaping reduce erosion and help direct runoff away from structures. For steeper slopes, consider terracing, erosion control mats, or professional installation to ensure long-term stability.
Coarser, angular materials generally provide better traction and are easier to shovel or use a snowblower on than very fine materials. Smooth or loose fine materials can compact into ruts or become slippery when icy, so consider texture and depth for safe winter use. Regular maintenance, such as raking and occasional top-ups, keeps walking surfaces even and safer in snow.
Maintenance varies by material and use, but common tasks include regrading, topping up low areas, removing weeds, and occasional compaction. Lifespan depends on traffic and climate; some surface aggregates may need refreshing every few years, while well-built base-and-surface assemblies can last longer. Budget for periodic upkeep rather than assuming a one-time installation will last indefinitely.
Local permits or homeowner association rules can apply to changes that affect drainage, curb cuts, or visible exterior work, so check the Village of Orland Hills code and any HOA guidelines before ordering. Deliveries themselves are usually allowed, but placement in the public right-of-way or work that affects sidewalks and streets may require permits. If you are unsure, contact local authorities or our team for guidance before scheduling delivery.
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.
