Materials Available for Delivery
3/4″ Crushed Stone
A reliable, clean ¾” crushed granite or limestone with many applications. Great for gravel driveways, concrete mixes, landscaping applications, and backfilling retaining walls or around foundations.
1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
3/8″ Natural Pea Gravel
Decorative and functional landscaping gravel. Small, naturally rounded stones create an aesthetic appeal when used for pathways, plant beds and garden borders. Also great for water features, rock gardens, dog runs and playground surfacing.
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.
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.

Why Sandwich Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sandwich is a community of 10,860 residents experiencing steady expansion, and that 1.20% annual growth rate points to ongoing demand for home improvements, infill construction, and yard upgrades as more people invest in local properties. With a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 35.50 inches of rain annually in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners and contractors need materials that balance drainage, durability, and ease of installation. That means a wider range of aggregates—sands, soils, gravels, and decorative stones—plus well-draining base layers for driveways and plant beds. As local development spreads across a metro area of 2.6+ million, projects range from small landscaping refreshes to larger exterior remodels, so reliable bulk sourcing and scheduled delivery help residents get the right volumes on time without multiple supplier calls. Local weather patterns and regional soils influence how materials perform over time: freeze-thaw cycles, wet-season runoff, and sunny, drying periods all affect compaction, settling, and erosion. Because of that, homeowners in Sandwich should prioritize materials selected for drainage and stability rather than appearance alone, and factor in proper grading and base preparation. Hello Gravel simplifies those decisions by connecting customers to locally sourced aggregates and experienced haulers, offering quantity calculators, regional guidance, and scheduling options so projects use materials suited to Sandwich’s climate and construction tempo.Popular Projects in Sandwich This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sandwich Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Sandwich.
Delivery cost depends on material type, order size, distance from the supplier, and any special services requested. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing after you enter your zip code (60548) and quantity, but expect extra fees for next-day delivery, long hauls, or difficult offloads. Contractors ordering large volumes may see lower per-ton rates than homeowners placing small orders.
Choose materials that drain well and compact reliably for areas affected by freeze-thaw and precipitation. In Sandwich’s climate, prioritize aggregates that promote drainage and resist movement under frost heave, and discuss load and drainage needs with our team to match the right material to your project. Expect regional variations in color and texture due to local sourcing.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, while next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can stretch during spring and fall busy seasons or after severe weather, so ordering early is recommended for time-sensitive projects.
Many residential deliveries require no special permit, but large deliveries that block streets, require a truck to stand on public right-of-way, or involve major grading or drainage changes may need city or county permits. Check with Sandwich city public works or your HOA before scheduling large drops, and let us know about any local restrictions when you order so we can plan logistics.
Plan heavy installation work like full driveway bases, major grading, or compaction for drier, warmer months when the ground is not frozen or saturated. Deliveries of fine, loose materials can be harder to spread in wet or frozen conditions, so schedule those for milder weather and allow extra time for spreading or compaction services.
Contractors typically designate a clear drop zone, remove obstacles, provide precise directions and gate codes, and confirm truck turning and staging space before delivery. Communication with the driver and supplier on day of delivery helps avoid delays; drivers will assess site conditions and may refuse unsafe offloads or spreading.
A helpful rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches depth, and coverage scales with depth (e.g., 6 inches covers about 50 square feet). Tons-to-cubic-yard conversion varies by material; as a general range, 1 ton typically equals about 0.6 to 0.9 cubic yards depending on density. Use our material calculator or contact our team with project dimensions for a precise estimate.
Hello Gravel sources materials from trusted local suppliers across the West Illinois region and will show available options after you enter your Sandwich zip code. Availability and material types can vary by neighborhood, so check pricing and product choices in the online checkout or contact our team for area-specific guidance.
Common add-on fees include next-day delivery charges, long-haul or extra-distance fees, weekend delivery surcharges, and fees for difficult offloads or required blocking of public ways. Optional services like tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but are performed at the driver’s discretion and are not guaranteed.
Commonly offered services include basic tailgate spreading (driver discretion), on-site staging, and coordination with installers, while private contractors often provide grading, compaction, edging, and final installation. Availability and pricing for bundled services vary by supplier and contractor, so discuss needs when ordering to get a clear estimate.
Start by defining the project use, expected loads, and drainage needs, then consider the local climate and how the material will perform in freeze-thaw and wet conditions. Use our online material quiz and calculator to narrow options, and call our team if you want guidance connecting project requirements to suitable aggregate choices.
You can expect a delivery window and often a courtesy call from the driver; trucks are typically contracted carriers, so they will assess access and select a safe drop location on arrival. Ensure driveways and routes are clear, confirm the drop zone with the driver, and be prepared that drivers may decline unsafe spreads or require additional fees for complex offloads.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
