Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

A larger 1 ½” crushed gravel that allows for water flow and drainage, preventing accumulation and pooling when properly installed. Perfect for french drains and other drainage applications, around utility lines, septic systems, sump pump basins and drainage pits.
Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications.

Why Robinson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Robinson's city population of 8,530 sits inside a broader regional context with a metro area population of 2.6+ million, and a steady annual growth rate of 1.20% signals continuous demand for housing, landscaping, and small-scale commercial work. That steady, manageable growth — not a sudden boom, but ongoing expansion — means homeowners and local contractors can expect a reliable pace of projects: yard remodels, driveway repairs, new plantings, and incremental infrastructure upgrades. Robinson’s climate (hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days/year, and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches) extends the workable season and shapes material choices: moderate rain makes drainage and erosion control key, while abundant sun affects drying, compaction, and surface stability. For these reasons, quality bulk materials across categories — base aggregates, soils, sands, and surface dressings — matter for longevity, performance, and local appearance, and sourcing locally appropriate supplies reduces surprises on delivery and installation.Popular Projects in Robinson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Robinson Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Robinson.
Start by matching material characteristics to the job: think about drainage, compaction, and appearance. For load-bearing areas pick a more compactable aggregate; for drainage use coarser, freer-draining material; for top layers consider texture and color. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on Robinson’s local soils and climate.
Measure the area (length x width x depth) and convert to cubic yards, then multiply by material density to get tons, or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for an instant estimate. For common projects we provide typical depth recommendations (for example, base layers versus top dressing) and round up slightly to allow for compaction and waste. Call or text our team with your measurements if you want a quick review.
Most residential deliveries do not require a permit, but permits may be needed for public-right-of-way work, street closures, or large commercial projects. Check with Robinson city or Crawford County officials for site-specific rules before scheduling delivery. If you expect to unload on a public street or need special traffic control, let our team know so we can coordinate with your hauler.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are arranged with local haulers using dump trucks (typically tri-axle). After you order, we confirm a delivery window; please note exact timing can vary with weather, traffic, and supplier schedules.
Pricing depends on the material type, the number of tons ordered, and the delivery distance from the supplier. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout for your zip code, and many areas qualify for free delivery depending on the order size. For the most accurate cost, enter your Robinson zip code at checkout or request a quote from our team.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. You can request spreading during checkout and the driver will assess on arrival whether it can be done safely. If spreading is required, consider hiring a labor crew or equipment to ensure a finished look if the driver cannot perform the service.
Materials are regionally sourced, so texture, color, and size can vary based on local geology and quarry production. Photos are examples and should be treated as guides rather than exact matches. If color or texture is important for your project, note preferences in your order notes and ask our team for the closest available option in Robinson.
In Illinois, spring thaw, heavy rains, and winter freezes affect ground conditions and can delay deliveries or make sites difficult to work on. Schedule deliveries in drier weather when possible, and allow extra lead time in spring and late fall. For projects requiring compaction or precise grading, avoid frozen ground and wet conditions for best results.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is typically 3 tons, and deliveries are made by dump truck loads (commonly tri-axle trucks). For larger projects, you can order multiple truckloads and schedule deliveries over several days. If your site has tight access, tell us in advance so we can match a suitable truck and plan the drop-off location.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, lines of travel, and obstacles, and mark any sensitive features like irrigation, septic tanks, or invisible fences. Provide a visible and safe place for the truck to unload and measure overhead clearances for tree limbs and wires. If access is limited, let our team know when ordering so the hauler can plan the safest approach.
Homeowners usually order smaller quantities and appreciate delivery windows and basic guidance, while contractors often schedule recurring deliveries, order larger volumes, and coordinate precise timing. Both should confirm site access, quantity, and delivery date at checkout; contractors may also request billing or account options. If you are unsure which quantities or materials suit your project, our team can advise for either audience.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify an order; changes are easiest before the supplier has processed the load. If there is an issue with delivery or material, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve it in line with our policies. Keep photos and order details handy when you call to help speed up the review.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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.
