Frequently Asked Questions - Pistakee Highlands Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Pistakee Highlands.
It depends on use, budget, and drainage needs. In Pistakee Highlands, choose materials that compact well and shed water, and consider a layered approach with a stable base and a wearing surface; common choices include gravel, sand, dirt, stone as groups rather than single products. Talk to our team or use the material quiz to match a material to vehicle traffic, slope, and local freeze-thaw conditions.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. As a rough weight guide, most aggregates range from about 1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on the material and moisture, and our online material calculator can give a more specific estimate. For large or irregular areas, order slightly extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and waste.
Cost varies by material type, quantity, delivery distance, and date requested. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery typically available in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Use the website to get an instant quote for your zip code or contact our sales team for help.
Materials that drain well and resist frost heave perform best in Pistakee Highlands. Good drainage, proper compaction, and a suitable base layer are more important than any single material; gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixtures can be specified for improved freeze-thaw performance. Adding geotextile fabric or adjusting depth and slope helps reduce movement and maintenance over time.
Spring through fall is generally best for spreading and compacting materials because the ground is not frozen and weather is more predictable. Deliveries can be scheduled year-round, but winter freeze, heavy rains, or lake-effect snow can delay spreading and make site access difficult. Choose delivery dates with weather in mind and request next-day service if you have a tight timetable.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Pistakee Highlands and surrounding Illinois Region zip codes. Availability depends on exact location, so check your zip code on our site or call our team; deliveries are carried out by contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle vehicles. Keep in mind regional sourcing means material color and texture may vary by local geology.
Stable, well-draining aggregates with a firm base usually need the least upkeep. Proper installation—correct depth, compaction, edging, and drainage—reduces rutting and vegetation growth regardless of whether you use gravel, sand, dirt, stone mixes. Regular light maintenance like topping up low spots and keeping drains clear is still recommended.
Lake-effect snow and rapid freeze-thaw swings can increase surface water and freeze-related movement, so choose materials and installation methods that emphasize drainage and stability. Schedule deliveries outside major storm windows and plan extra time for compaction and settling after installation. You can note weather concerns in Order Notes and discuss timing with our team to reduce risk of delays.
Permit and HOA rules vary by municipality and community; some may require curb blocking permits, street use permission, or limits on where trucks can dump. Before placing a large order, check with your local municipal office, county public works, and your HOA if applicable, and note any restrictions in your order so the driver can plan access. If you expect a long driveway or sensitive yard, mention access constraints at checkout.
Coarser, open-graded materials generally drain faster and resist erosion better than fine, compacting materials, while mixes and engineered aggregates can provide both filtration and stability. For slopes and runoff-prone areas, combine proper grading, retaining elements, and geotextile fabric with an appropriate aggregate mix to control erosion. Contact our team for help matching a material and installation approach to your propertys drainage needs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
