2-10% organic is ideal
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.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
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 Pearl City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pearl City has a population of 1,760 and sits within a growing regional economy that reflects steady demand for housing and infrastructure. A growth rate of 1.20% annually indicates measured, ongoing development rather than a boom — meaning homeowners can expect consistent renovation and small-scale construction projects (driveways, patios, garden beds, and gutters) as well as periodic new builds. With 228 sunny days per year and moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, local weather supports an extended construction season, but it also creates wet-dry cycles that influence how materials perform. In this setting, a variety of bulk materials — including gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone — are important for drainage, erosion control, planting beds, and stable surfaces. Choosing quality, locally sourced aggregates helps ensure durability, proper drainage, and long-term landscape performance in Pearl City’s particular climate and development rhythm.Popular Projects in Pearl City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pearl City Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pearl City.
Pearl City experiences cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles and wetter springs, which can affect compaction, drainage, and settling. Choose materials that drain well and resist frost heave for winter-exposed projects, and schedule major outdoor deliveries and installations in late spring through early fall to avoid frozen ground and muddy conditions.
Soils around Pearl City can vary from heavier, clay-like areas to sandier spots; drainage problems are common where soil doesn't shed water. For poor-draining sites consider materials that improve drainage and a proper base layer, and plan grading that directs water away from structures.
Start by defining the project goals: load-bearing (driveways), drainage (French drains, base layers), or aesthetics (garden beds, pathways). Consider strength, compaction, drainage, and look; use photos and the Hello Gravel aggregate quiz or contact our team for guidance to match the material to the job and local conditions.
Common projects include driveways, walkways, patios, garden beds, grading, and erosion control. Typical orders range from small garden jobs (1-3 cubic yards) to driveways and larger landscaping (10-30+ cubic yards); as a rough guide 1 cubic yard is about 1.2-1.6 tons depending on the material, and our material calculator can give a precise estimate.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order in most areas and uses contracted professional dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, for delivery. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; lead times can vary by supplier and season.
Yes, small-city streets, low-hanging wires, narrow driveways, and weight-restricted roads or bridges can affect delivery access. Mark a clear, level drop zone, note any hazards in your order notes, and our dispatch team can advise if smaller trucks or alternate drop locations are needed.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading or limited placement at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and safety. Request spreading at checkout and expect the driver to assess feasibility on arrival; for larger spreading jobs consider hiring a local contractor.
Prices vary by material type, seasonal demand, quarry distance, and delivery logistics, so local pricing ranges can change throughout the year. Use our online checkout to get transparent, zip-code-specific pricing, and contact our team if you need a custom quote for large or repeat orders.
Permit and HOA rules differ by county and neighborhood; some projects like driveway expansions, curb cuts, or commercial-grade work may require permits or approvals. Check with Pearl City or Stephenson County building and zoning offices and your HOA before ordering, since Hello Gravel does not obtain permits on your behalf.
Measure the area and desired depth, use our online material calculator, and account for compaction and waste (usually 5-15% extra depending on the job). If you prefer, send photos and dimensions to our team and we will help estimate quantities and suggest appropriate materials.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
