Why Peoria Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Peoria is a mid-sized city of 127,461 residents at the center of a broader metro of 2.7+ million people. With a modest growth rate of 0.40% annually, demand for construction and landscaping in the area tends to be steady and incremental rather than boom-driven — homeowners are more likely to tackle renovations, yard upgrades, and infill projects than large speculative builds. Peoria’s temperate conditions — about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 33.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b — mean materials must balance drainage and durability with seasonal plant needs. That mix drives demand for a range of bulk materials: base aggregates for driveways and pads, screened soils and topsoil for planting, sand for leveling, and mulch for moisture retention. Quality local materials matter here because they affect drainage, erosion control, long-term stability, and the success of plantings in Peoria’s climate.Popular Projects in Peoria This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Peoria Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Peoria.
Start by matching the material to the job: prioritize drainage and compaction for driveways and base layers, look for fine textures for planting beds, and choose visually pleasing aggregates for decorative areas. Because local suppliers source regionally, gravel, sand, dirt, stone reflect Peoria's geology and may vary in color and texture, so consider appearance, load-bearing needs, and drainage before ordering. Use our material calculator or contact our team for advice based on your specific project and site conditions.
Pick materials that resist frost heave and provide good compaction and drainage—angular, well-graded aggregates work best for load-bearing surfaces while finer materials suit walking paths. Also consider local winter maintenance (salt and plowing) and choose a base and top layer combination that handles freeze-thaw cycles. If you are unsure, our team can recommend a mix suitable for Peoria conditions.
Plan deliveries for the window when the ground is workable—typically after the last hard frost in spring or before the ground freezes in late fall—to avoid muddy or frozen-site complications. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Also factor in weather forecasts and site access when picking a delivery date.
Measure the area (length × width × depth) to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using a general estimate (1 cubic yard is roughly 1.2–1.5 tons depending on the material). Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so small projects may need to adjust depth or combine items. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact us with your dimensions for a precise estimate.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on site access, load type, and safety considerations. You can request spreading service at checkout, and the driver will assess on arrival, but there are no guarantees. If precise spreading is critical, plan for a separate spreader or labor to ensure even distribution.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials from local suppliers, gravel, sand, dirt, stone reflect regional geology and natural variation, so color and texture can differ from online photos. We encourage customers to include appearance preferences in Order Notes, and to contact customer service if you have concerns. Our listings describe typical appearance, but exact matches are not guaranteed.
Some Peoria areas have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, underground utilities, or tight driveways that can limit dump truck access and placement. Provide delivery notes about gates, property entrances, preferred drop zones, and any obstacles when you order so suppliers can plan the safest drop location. If access is limited, consider door-to-door smaller trucks or coordinating with a contractor for offloading.
Schedule soil deliveries after the last frost and when soil is workable; mix new topsoil with existing soil to improve structure and drainage rather than replacing everything. A common homeowner approach is to blend new dirt with existing soil to achieve better tilth and nutrients rather than following a strict ratio—use our team or soil test results to pick the right dirt blend. Avoid deliveries on heavy rain days to prevent compaction and muddy sites.
Local quarries and suppliers source materials from nearby deposits, so composition, grain size, and color can change across neighborhoods in Peoria. These regional differences affect drainage, compaction, and aesthetic choices, so pick materials suited to your specific project goals rather than assuming one product will behave the same everywhere. If you need a close match, ask our team about available local options and photos before ordering.
Typical projects include driveways and driveway repairs, patios and walkways, raised garden beds and topsoil replenishment, drainage corrections and backfill, and erosion control. Both homeowners and contractors use gravel, sand, dirt, stone for these jobs—homeowners often order smaller amounts for landscaping while contractors place larger bulk orders and schedule recurring deliveries. If your project is large or time-sensitive, contact us early to confirm availability and scheduling.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible—changes are easier before the order is dispatched and depend on supplier and hauler schedules. We will make our best effort to accommodate modifications, but some changes may not be possible once processing or dispatch begins, and additional fees may apply.

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.
