#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
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.
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.
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
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.

Why Spaulding Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Spaulding is a small community with a city population of 350 that sits within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million residents. A growth rate of 1.20% annually signals steady development rather than a boom — the kind of gradual expansion that drives steady demand for home improvements, infill construction, and landscaping upgrades. With a climate characterized by 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 35.50 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local projects need materials that handle both sun and periodic moisture. That means homeowners and contractors in Spaulding often prioritize durable base materials for driveways and paths, soils and topdressings that support plantings in a mild-but-variable climate, and erosion-control products to manage seasonal runoff. Quality bulk materials matter here because they influence drainage, longevity, and maintenance frequency across a variety of common projects from patios and walkways to grading and garden beds. Spaulding's combined pattern of moderate rainfall and abundant sun creates specific performance expectations for bulk materials. Materials must balance permeability to shed water quickly after storms with enough stability to resist settling under dry conditions; organic products will break down faster in warmer, sunnier weather and may need replenishing more often. Local sourcing helps by matching aggregate texture and soil chemistry to existing site conditions, reducing surprises during installation. Hello Gravel helps homeowners navigate those trade-offs by connecting them with nearby suppliers, offering material calculators and guidance, and scheduling deliveries that fit project timelines — making it easier to choose the right quantities and types for Spaulding's local climate and steady growth trajectory.Popular Projects in Spaulding This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Spaulding Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Spaulding.
Spaulding sits in West Illinois where freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal rainfall can cause movement and settling over time. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist frost heave, such as well-graded, free-draining aggregates and a compacted base. Expect more maintenance for surface-only installs versus properly graded and compacted bases.
Match the material to the project's function: use well-draining, angular aggregates for driveways and structural bases, and finer materials for leveling or bedding. Think about appearance, maintenance, and local climate—materials that drain well perform better in freeze-thaw areas. If unsure, consult our aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for a recommendation based on your intended use.
Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees and free-delivery thresholds vary by supplier and zip code, so check pricing at checkout or contact our team for a quote. Same-day delivery may be possible from local suppliers but is not guaranteed.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and materials are delivered by contracted dump truck fleets, usually tri-axle trucks. Truck size affects access and drop location, so confirm site access and any overhead or turning constraints when ordering. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but this service is not guaranteed.
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause heaving, settling, and surface ruts if materials retain water or if the base is poorly compacted. Use well-draining aggregates, ensure proper grading and compaction, and consider a stabilized base layer or geotextile where freeze-thaw is a concern. Proper drainage away from structures is one of the most effective long-term protections.
Spring through early fall is generally the best window for most exterior material work because soils are easier to compact and weather is more predictable. Winter installations are possible but may require extra steps for compaction and moisture control and can take longer. Always factor in recent rains and frozen ground when scheduling to avoid poor compaction or washouts.
Calculate the area (length x width) and determine the target depth, then convert to cubic yards and use a material-specific density to estimate tons. Because density varies by material, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate. When in doubt, order a small overage (5-10 percent) to account for compaction and grading.
Contractors commonly use 2 to 3 inches of material for decorative top layers, 3 to 6 inches for walkways and paths, and 4 to 8 inches for residential driveways as a surface, with deeper compacted bases (6 inches or more) for structural support. Planting beds and topsoil areas often require 4 to 8 inches of loose material depending on plant needs. These are general guidelines; your project conditions and local practices may require adjustments.
Material-only budgets vary by project size and local prices, but small yard projects often range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while full driveway installations typically run from low thousands to several thousand dollars for materials alone. Labor, site preparation, and permits add to total costs, so request a quote that separates material and installation estimates. Local supplier pricing and haul distance can significantly affect final material costs.
Permit and HOA requirements vary by municipality and neighborhood; some projects like new driveways, major grading, or changes to stormwater runoff may require permits or approvals. Check with your local city or county building department and your HOA before purchasing materials, especially for visible or large-scale changes. When in doubt, our team can help you plan so your materials meet common local guidelines.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; we will do our best to accommodate requests before materials are dispatched. Modifications are easier before the supplier and truck are scheduled, but once a truck is loaded or on route changes may not be possible. Review your order confirmation and reach out quickly if plans change.
Prioritize proper installation: good drainage, adequate depth, and compaction often matter more than the specific material type for long-term performance. Select locally sourced materials that match the intended use—durable, free-draining aggregates for driveways, and finer, settling-tolerant materials for beds and leveling. If budget is a concern, ask for options that balance upfront cost and maintenance needs so you can make a practical choice.
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.
