Why Riverdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Riverdale has a city population of 18,820 and sits within a growing metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually means ongoing demand for home improvement, infill construction, and outdoor upgrades rather than a sudden boom — homeowners are gradually investing in durable, low-maintenance landscapes and reliable site work. With 228 sunny days a year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate supports extended planting seasons and year-round exterior work, but it also demands materials that balance sun exposure with periodic wetting. That combination makes quality bulk materials — well-graded base aggregates, stable soils, drainage-friendly mixes, and organic mulches — important for patios, driveways, plant beds, and erosion control. Local sourcing matters too, since regional geology affects color, texture, and performance.Popular Projects in Riverdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Riverdale Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Riverdale.
Homeowners and contractors in Riverdale commonly use a mix of materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, pathways, raised beds, and grading. Choice depends on the project: drainage and stability are priorities for driveways, while appearance and weed suppression matter more for landscape beds. Ask our team or use the aggregate quiz to match material characteristics to your project goals.
Riverdale experiences seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and periods of heavy rain, so materials that drain well and resist movement are usually best for driveways and slopes. Local soils can be clayey or compacted, which affects drainage and settling; you may need a base layer and proper grading. Consider materials that work with local conditions and plan for drainage and compaction to reduce long-term maintenance.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery cost depends on material type, distance from the supplier, truck access, and local availability; many areas include free delivery in the quoted price. You will see transparent per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing and any delivery fee during checkout.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Riverdale (zip 60827) and surrounding zip codes such as 60419, 60406, 60426, 60469, 60628, and others. We coordinate with multiple yards and trucking partners in the West Illinois area to find the best fit for your order. Enter your zip code on our site to see available materials and suppliers for your address.
Yes. Spring and early summer are peak seasons for landscaping and construction, which can increase lead times and affect pricing in the West Illinois area. Severe weather, freeze-thaw conditions, and local demand can also temporarily limit availability of certain materials. For better pricing and availability, plan ahead and book deliveries before peak season when possible.
Some projects may require permits, especially for driveway replacements, changes to curb cuts, or large-scale grading that affects stormwater flow. Delivery trucks may also need to follow local curb and street rules, and heavy equipment on public property can require approval. Check with Riverdale building or public works departments for local rules, and contact Hello Gravel if you need documentation or timing guidance for your delivery.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause fine particles to shift, create frost heave, and reduce surface stability over time if the material and base are not suited to local conditions. Using a stable base, proper drainage, and materials that resist breakdown will reduce maintenance needs. Regular inspection after spring thaw and timely top-ups or regrading help extend the life of driveways and paths.
Contractors often find drainage, slope, compaction, and utility clearance are the main site-prep challenges in Riverdale projects. Proper grading, edge restraints, and compaction of a prepared base are important for driveways and heavy-use areas, while landscape beds may need amended soil and weed barriers. Always mark utilities before work and discuss access needs with your hauler to avoid delays.
Materials are typically quoted per ton or per cubic yard; make sure you compare quotes using the same unit. Prices vary by material type, local supply, distance, and truck size, so request a detailed quote through our site to see per-unit pricing and any delivery charges. Hello Gravel displays clear pricing at checkout so you know what is included before you confirm.
Some contractors offer full-service options including hauling, spreading, grading, and disposal of old material, while delivery drivers contracted by Hello Gravel may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion. If you need spreading, compaction, or removal of existing material, arrange those services with a contractor or request them during checkout and confirm availability. Always clarify scope and fees before work begins.
For driveways prioritize materials that provide load-bearing stability and good drainage; for gardens and pathways prioritize appearance, weed control, and comfort underfoot. Consider the expected traffic, slope, and drainage needs of the area when selecting a material. Use our material calculator and aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for tailored recommendations based on your project.
Measure the area in square feet and decide on the desired depth in inches, then use an online material calculator to convert to tons or cubic yards; Hello Gravel's calculator is available on the site. Remember to account for compaction and waste by adding 5-15% extra depending on the material and job. If you are unsure, order a little more or contact our team for help with estimates and delivery planning.
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.
