Brown Shredded Mulch
Shredded bark and wood from trees like oak, hickory, and maple, used for landscaping and gardening applications. Provides moisture retention in your soil, weed suppression, temperature regulation for plants, and the gradual addition of organic matter as it decomposes slowly over time. Adds a beautiful, finished look to your home’s exterior.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
Decomposed Granite
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.
Fill Dirt
Versatile, lower-grade soil commonly used for volume and elevation changes in various construction and landscaping projects. Great for leveling or grading ground, backfilling pools and filling ditches, and evening out low points or depressions on your property.

Why Rockton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockton, Illinois (city population: 10,550) sits within a growing regional market (metro area population: 2.6+ million) where a steady growth rate (1.20% annually) translates into consistent demand for home improvement, new builds, and landscaping projects. That steady expansion means more driveways, gardens, and utility work — and a need for reliable bulk materials. Rockton’s climate (sunny days: 228/year; annual rainfall: 35.50 inches) and hardiness zone (8b) create a balance of sun exposure and moderate precipitation that shapes material choices: homeowners often prioritize good drainage mixes, erosion-control stone, and mulches that retain moisture without trapping excess water. Regional sourcing also means aggregate color and texture will reflect local geology, so quality control and correct sizing matter for long-lasting results across driveways, patios, beds, and grading jobs.Popular Projects in Rockton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockton Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rockton.
Start with the job: is it for drainage, a structural base, a walking surface, or decorative landscaping? Consider durability, drainage needs, and appearance, and remember regional sourcing means local options may look and perform differently. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a recommendation based on your project size and site conditions.
Rockton's freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs can affect settling and drainage, so pick materials that compact well and shed water where needed. For areas prone to frost heave choose materials with good drainage and plan for proper compaction and base depth. If erosion is a concern, consider edging and stabilization measures alongside your material choice.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth you need, then use our online calculator since density varies by material. For example, a 12x20 patio at 2 inches is roughly 2 tons, a small 100 sq ft garden bed at 2 inches is about 0.8 tons, and a 2-car driveway (20x20) with a 4 inch base is roughly 6-7 tons; actual amounts depend on material density. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, so smaller jobs may require adjusting depth or ordering extra.
We serve Rockton (61072) and the surrounding West Illinois area; availability depends on your zip code. Check your zip at checkout or contact us to confirm service to nearby codes. Delivery is arranged with local suppliers and haulers, so options can vary by location.
Standard delivery is 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. You can choose a preferred delivery date during checkout, and we will confirm timing with you once the order is scheduled. Exact arrival windows are not guaranteed due to routing and weather.
Price depends on the material type, quantity ordered, delivery distance, and any additional services like next-day delivery or requested spreading. Regional sourcing also affects color and texture and can influence cost. We show transparent pricing at checkout and our team can help explain any line items.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this depends on safety, equipment, and site access. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival; no spreading service is guaranteed. If spreading is essential, consider hiring a local contractor for dedicated spreading and finishing.
Clear access for a dump truck, remove low-hanging branches, park vehicles out of the way, and mark the desired drop area with stakes or flags. Protect nearby landscaping and surfaces if you need material placed close to decks, driveways, or lawns. Provide any special instructions in the Order Notes so the driver and supplier can plan ahead.
Because we source materials regionally, texture, color, and mix can vary based on local geology and natural variation. Photos are representative; exact matches are not guaranteed. If the material differs significantly from your expectations, contact customer service and we will work to resolve the issue according to our policies.
Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. Once a truck is scheduled or materials are staged, modifications may be limited and additional fees could apply. We will do our best to help but cannot promise all changes can be made.
Some projects may require local permits or HOA approval, especially for driveway replacements, major grading, or visible changes to front yards. Check Rockton municipal codes and your HOA rules before ordering, and allow time for approvals when planning timelines. If you need help understanding typical requirements, our team can point you to common resources but cannot provide legal permission.
We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through our secure online checkout. For project questions or help choosing materials, call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734, and our sales team can guide you through quantities, delivery, and timelines.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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.

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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
