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.
Red Shredded Mulch
Red shredded bark and wood from hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple. Good for gardening and landscaping. Helps hold moisture, block weeds, and adds a bold, red pop to your outdoors.
River Rock
Naturally rounded, decorative stone for landscaping, garden beds, and water features. Typically 1-2” in size, with options for larger sizes upon request. Comes in a variety of colors that vary based on location and natural stone availability, so please be sure to specify if you have color preferences.
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 Seymour Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Seymour is a small but active community with a city population of 710, located within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A steady growth rate of 1.20% annually indicates ongoing, measured demand for home improvements, infill development, and infrastructure updates rather than a sudden construction boom. Locally, residents see 228 sunny days per year and moderate annual rainfall of 35.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b, which supports year-round exterior work but also shapes material needs. Durable aggregates, properly graded soils, and UV-resistant landscape products help manage occasional heavy showers, extended sun exposure, and seasonal maintenance. Common homeowner projects—driveways, drainage improvements, raised beds, and erosion control—benefit from quality bulk materials chosen for these local conditions.Popular Projects in Seymour This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Seymour Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Seymour.
Start with the job: think about load (driveway or walking path), drainage needs, and the look you want. In West Illinois' freeze-thaw climate, choose materials that drain well and compact reliably; our team can help you compare options like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and estimate quantities. Use the online material calculator or call our sales team for guidance tailored to your site and budget.
For freeze-thaw conditions and seasonal precipitation, pick materials that promote drainage and resist rutting under traffic. A layered approach usually works best: a stable base plus a wear layer sized for your use; consider options from our selection of gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on budget and appearance. Local sourcing means material texture and color may vary, so request notes at checkout if color is important.
Tonnage depends on the area and depth you need: small patch jobs can be 1-3 tons, a typical single-car driveway often requires about 5-12 tons, and a two-car driveway may be 12-25 tons. Patio bases and raised garden beds commonly fall in the 1-5 ton range for homeowners, while larger yard grading projects can be 10+ tons. These are estimates — use our calculator or contact us with dimensions and desired depth for a more precise number.
Our minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days depending on supplier and local schedules. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle), and regional sourcing affects what’s available near Seymour.
Delivery fees vary based on distance from the supplier, road conditions, and driveway access; many areas have free delivery for larger orders. For small orders in rural zones, fees commonly range from nominal up to around $150, but exact costs depend on your zip code and site access. The checkout will show any delivery fee before you pay, and our team can confirm pricing if you call.
Late spring through early fall is the most convenient period for deliveries and installation because ground is generally stable and weather is predictable. Avoid scheduling deliveries on days with heavy rain or when the ground is frozen to prevent rutting and difficulty with spreading. If you must work in shoulder seasons, plan for extra time and consider temporary access solutions.
Clear a staging area free of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark the preferred drop location with flags or stakes so the driver knows where to unload. Ensure the driveway or access route can support a heavy truck; soft shoulders or narrow rural lanes may require alternate drop points. If there are underground sprinklers, utilities, or special grading needs, let us know in Order Notes so the hauler can plan accordingly.
Materials are regionally sourced, so texture, particle size, and color can vary with local geology and season. We advise customers that online photos are representative; actual loads may differ but will meet general specifications for use. You can add color or appearance preferences in Order Notes at checkout, and our team will pass them to the supplier when possible.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, site access, and local rules. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely upon arrival. If spreading is required, consider hiring a local landscaper or renting a small loader to ensure even distribution.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible; modifications are easier to make before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate changes, but changes after trucks have been scheduled may not be possible or may incur fees. Check your confirmation email for order details and the fastest way to reach us.
Homeowners commonly search phrases like "best driveway material Seymour IL," "gravel vs sand for drainage," "materials for erosion control West Illinois," and "how many tons for a driveway 12x40." These queries focus on durability, drainage performance, cost, and quantity estimates. If you’re unsure which terms to use, our material quiz can narrow options based on your project.
Contractors often place larger, more frequent orders and may request commercial-grade loads, specific delivery windows, or offloading with heavier equipment. They also commonly coordinate deliveries to match project schedules and may provide site instructions for truck access or staging. Whether you are a homeowner or contractor, we can support larger or recurring deliveries through our local supplier network.
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.
