Why Rantoul Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rantoul has a city population of 11,360 and sits inside a larger metro area of 2.6+ million, with a steady annual growth rate of 1.20% annually. That steady growth translates into ongoing demand for both new construction and owners updating existing properties — more driveways, patios, foundation work, and landscape refreshes. Rantoul's climate and geography—228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—mean homeowners need materials that balance stormwater management with durability under frequent sun and seasonal moisture changes. For homeowners and contractors alike, that drives interest in a range of bulk materials: base and drainage aggregates to control wet-weather runoff, stable fill and topsoil for planting beds, sand for leveling and bedding, and mulches and compost for moisture retention and plant health. Choosing locally sourced, appropriately graded materials reduces rework and ensures installations perform in this specific local environment.Popular Projects in Rantoul This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rantoul Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rantoul.
Start by matching the material to function: think about drainage, load-bearing needs, appearance, and maintenance. In Rantoul's climate, consider how a product group like gravel, sand, dirt, stone will compact, shed water, and hold up through freeze-thaw cycles. Use our material calculator and contact our team for guidance on depth and coverage; minimum orders typically start around 3 tons.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause settling and frost heave if you use fine, uncompacted fills or poor-draining mixes. Choose materials and construction (proper base, compaction, and drainage) that resist movement, and plan for a frost-resistant base when installing driveways, pads, or hardscapes. Regional sourcing means texture and performance can vary, so ask about local mixes for Rantoul.
Typical projects include driveways, patios, walkways, garden beds, grading and drainage fixes, and erosion control. Quantity depends on area and depth; for example, a 100 sq ft area at 2 inches deep needs roughly 0.6 cubic yards (about 0.8–1 ton), while a 500 sq ft driveway at 4 inches may need about 6–7 cubic yards (8–9 tons). Use our calculator or contact sales with your dimensions for a precise estimate.
Tell us about driveway width, gate height, overhead wires, surface condition (soft or paved), preferred drop location, and any narrow roads or tight turns. Note if you need material placed in the street or on town right-of-way—those situations can require permits or special routing. Clear access and marking the drop spot speeds delivery and reduces the risk of damage.
Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) and you can choose a preferred date at checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; this is not guaranteed.
Possibly. Many Illinois towns require permits for blocking streets, working in the public right-of-way, or placing material in public spaces; HOAs may have rules on visible aggregates or delivery windows. Check with Rantoul municipal offices or your HOA before scheduling delivery and tell us if a permit is required so we can coordinate with suppliers.
Spring can be wet and muddy, which makes sites soft and can lead to ruts or poor compaction, while winter freeze-thaw can cause movement after installation. For big grading or base-build projects, plan major work from late spring through early fall when ground conditions are firmer. If you must work in shoulder seasons, expect delays, possible additional fees, or limitations on placement.
Expect a contracted dump truck (typically tri-axle) to arrive and place material where it can safely discharge; drivers will assess access and may refuse unsafe placements. Drivers may perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; customers should clear the drop area, mark utilities, and provide a clear route. Any cleanup or fine spreading beyond what the driver performs should be planned for in advance.
Prices vary by material, distance, and availability; in small Illinois markets delivered material costs commonly range roughly from $20 to $80 per ton, with delivery fees that can be $0 up to a few hundred dollars depending on distance and job complexity. These are general estimates—get a specific quote through our site for accurate pricing to your zip code. We provide transparent pricing and will show delivery fees before you check out.
Because we source regionally, color and texture can vary from photos; that variation is normal with natural materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone. Contact our team as soon as possible to request changes—changes are easier before dispatch and may not be possible once a truck is en route. If there is an issue with delivered material, contact customer service promptly so we can work to resolve it according to our policies.
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.

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.
