Why Raymond Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Raymond's city population of 1,390 and its location within a broader metro area of 2.6+ million point to a small but steadily expanding community. A growth rate of 1.20% annually suggests steady, predictable demand for home improvement and light construction projects rather than sharp booms. With 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners can work outdoors most of the year, but they still need materials that handle periodic rain and seasonal shifts. That means reliable bulk supplies — from fill dirt and topsoil to sand, mulch, and aggregate — matter for everything from driveways and drainage trenches to garden beds and patios. Local projects in Raymond increasingly focus on durable, low-maintenance solutions that balance aesthetics with function, so selecting the right aggregate sizes, soil blends, and mulch types helps extend project life and reduce follow-up repairs.Popular Projects in Raymond This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Raymond Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Raymond.
Homeowners and contractors in Raymond typically order gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, patios, drainage improvements, raised beds, and grading. Local suppliers stock materials that reflect the region's geology, so texture and color can vary. Orders usually start at a minimum quantity (about 3 tons), so plan purchases around that size.
Pick a material based on function: good drainage needs coarser, well-draining mixes while compacted bases require angular, crushable aggregates. Consider how much load the surface will carry, whether you need a decorative finish, and local drainage conditions. If unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project and site.
Raymond’s seasonal cycles (wet springs and freezing winters common in central Illinois) affect when and what you should install. Avoid spreading or compacting some materials in frozen or very wet conditions because compaction and settling can be compromised. Schedule deliveries for drier months or late spring through early fall when possible, and plan extra time around spring thaw or heavy rain.
Standard delivery windows are generally 2+ business days from order, with a next-day option often available if placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can lengthen during peak seasons, after storms, or when specific regional materials are limited. We recommend checking availability for your zip code and booking early for large jobs.
Access depends on driveway width, overhead clearance, surface strength, and any local road restrictions. Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, so narrow lanes, low-hanging wires, soft shoulders, or weight-restricted roads can affect whether a truck can get close. Send photos or detailed notes at checkout so the driver and supplier can plan the safest drop-off location.
Local rules vary, so check with Raymond city offices or the county highway/township for driveway permits, curb cuts, and stormwater or easement restrictions. Some projects that change grade or connect to a public road may need approvals. When in doubt, contact local authorities before ordering to avoid delays or rework.
Typical quantities vary by project: small garden beds often need 1-3 cubic yards, walkways 2-5 cubic yards, a single-car driveway base 6-12 tons depending on depth, and larger driveways or grading jobs require many more. Use our online material calculator or provide project dimensions to get a more precise estimate. Always allow a small extra amount (5-10%) for grading and compaction losses.
Delivery costs depend on distance from the supplier, the weight and density of the material, access difficulty, and whether you request expedited delivery. Some areas include free delivery for certain orders while remote or hard-to-reach drops may carry an extra fee. Get an itemized quote through checkout to see the delivery portion before you confirm.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site conditions, and local rules. Request spreading in the order notes and be prepared to have tools or helpers on site if you need more precise placement. For full installation or final grading, consider hiring a local contractor who offers placement services.
Natural materials vary by region, so color and texture can differ from photos. Contact customer service as soon as you notice an issue or if you need to modify an order; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will work with suppliers and haulers to resolve problems, but exact matches or late changes may not always be possible.
Many local contractors offer installation and will coordinate material delivery as part of their service. Pricing models vary: contractors may charge per hour, per square foot, or a flat project rate that includes material delivery and labor. Ask contractors if they prefer material to be delivered directly to your site and whether they charge for placement or disposal.
Local soil types and drainage patterns affect whether you need a drainage layer, geotextile fabric, or a coarser base material to prevent settling and pooling. Sites with heavy clay or poor drainage typically benefit from materials that promote water movement and a stable base for surfaces. Consider a site assessment or consult our team to match material choice to your soil and slope conditions.
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.
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.
