Why Round Lake Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Round Lake Beach is a community with a city population of 28,172 and sits within a growing metro area with a population of 2.6+ million. That steady annual growth rate of 1.20% means steady demand for home improvements, landscaping refreshes, and infill construction rather than a brief boom — homeowners can expect ongoing renovation and maintenance needs over time. The local climate and geography, with hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days annually, and an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, produces alternating wet and dry conditions that influence how materials perform. For homeowners this translates into a need for dependable bulk supplies—soil and topdressings for planting, stable bases for driveways and paths, drainage-friendly aggregates, and erosion-control products—so projects last through seasonal weather without excessive rework.Popular Projects in Round Lake Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Round Lake Beach Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Round Lake Beach.
Homeowners and contractors in Round Lake Beach commonly choose mixes of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone depending on the project. For driveways people favor stable, well-draining aggregates that compact well; for patios and paver bases a combination of stone and sand is typical; for garden beds and grading projects clean topsoil or screened dirt are common. Your selection should match the intended use, desired appearance, and expected traffic.
Round Lake Beach experiences freeze-thaw cycles that can cause heaving and settling, so materials that drain well and lock together tend to perform better. Use well-graded, compactable aggregates for bases and avoid using only fine, loose materials where frost action is expected. Plan heavier earthwork and deliveries during milder seasons when possible to reduce issues with frozen ground.
Choose materials with appropriate permeability and particle size for the slope and soil conditions on your property — coarser, well-draining aggregates work better for drainage trenches and erosion control. Combine aggregates with vegetation or geotextile fabrics where needed to stabilize slopes. Always consider local runoff patterns and, if the project alters drainage, check local rules before starting work.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the required depth in inches, then convert that volume to cubic yards (multiply area in feet by depth in feet, divide by 27). Different materials have different weights, so convert cubic yards to tons using a material-specific density or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a quick estimate. When in doubt, round up slightly for compaction, grading changes, and waste, or contact our team for help.
Hello Gravel’s platform generally requires a 3-ton minimum order, with standard delivery scheduled in 2+ business days and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier, distance, and access; many areas offer free delivery promotions but fees can apply. Always check the checkout price and your zip code for exact fees and available dates.
Same-day delivery is sometimes available but not guaranteed and depends on local supplier capacity and scheduling. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion; you can request it at checkout but it is not guaranteed and will be evaluated for safety and suitability upon arrival. If spreading is required, plan for potential additional labor charges and confirm details before delivery.
Yes — many homeowners should check Round Lake Beach and Lake County building and public works rules plus any HOA covenants before starting driveway, grading, or major hardscape projects. Small garden or mulch projects often don’t need permits, but driveways, new curb cuts, retaining walls, and changes to drainage frequently do. If you’re unsure, contact the Round Lake Beach building or public works department or your HOA for guidance before ordering materials.
Material-only purchases typically cover just the aggregate, sand, or dirt and are generally much less expensive than full installation. Installed projects include labor, equipment, grading, compaction, and site prep, which can increase total costs substantially — often multiple times the material-only price depending on complexity. For accurate budgeting, get separate quotes for materials and for installation or ask Hello Gravel for local contractor referrals.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, the color, texture, and particle shape of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone will reflect local geology and can vary from photos. These regional differences are normal and can affect aesthetics and how materials compact or drain. If appearance or specific performance matters, note preferences in your order notes and ask our team for local material options before ordering.

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.
