Why St. Ickney Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
St. Ickney (city population 12,334) sits in a growing metropolitan region of 2.6+ million residents, and that steady 1.20% annual growth translates into measured but consistent demand for new landscaping, home improvements, and small-scale construction. With 228/year sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local projects need materials that balance drainage, erosion control, and heat- and UV-resistance. Homeowners here are increasingly investing in outdoor living, driveway repairs, and foundation grading—projects that require reliable supplies of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone. Good-quality bulk materials matter because they determine how well paths shed water, how driveways handle freeze-thaw cycles, and how garden beds retain moisture during dry spells; choosing the right combination up front reduces rework, drainage problems, and long-term maintenance costs. Local soil, climate, and weather cycles create practical requirements for material performance: heavier clay or silty soils need improved drainage layers, sunny summers increase the importance of UV-stable mulch and heat-tolerant aggregates, and 35.50 inches of rain means erosion control should be part of many plans. For homeowners, that means picking materials for function first—drainage, compaction, and longevity—then for appearance. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers familiar with West Illinois conditions, offering online tools to calculate quantities, scheduling delivery windows that work with project timelines, and providing guidance so material choices match your yard’s soil and seasonal needs.Popular Projects in St. Ickney This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - St. Ickney Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in St. Ickney.
Start with the project purpose: load-bearing areas like driveways need denser, more stable materials, while decorative beds and walkways can use lighter, finer materials. Consider local climate and drainage needs when choosing from gravel, sand, dirt, stone as a group, and ask about recommended sizes and compaction for your project. If you are unsure, use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your site conditions.
St. Ickney's cold winters and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles mean you should prioritize drainage and frost resistance. Local soils may be clayey or poorly drained, so pick materials that improve runoff and reduce settling, and consider a crushed base layer under paving. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so ask suppliers about local performance.
Small walkways and patios often require 1 to 3 cubic yards of material, a single-car driveway commonly needs 3 to 6 cubic yards, and larger driveways or major grading jobs can need 10 cubic yards or more. These are rough estimates; actual amounts depend on area, depth, and base layers, so use a material calculator or share measurements for a precise quote. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so plan orders accordingly.
Hello Gravel operates with a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery costs vary by zip code and access—many areas offer free delivery but remote locations or short-notice requests can add fees. We'll confirm pricing and scheduling at checkout based on your zip code.
Ensure there is a clear, level drop-off area and a 12- to 18-foot-wide access path for tri-axle dump trucks; remove low-hanging branches and secure animals or vehicles. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site conditions. If access is restricted, mention it in the order notes so we can coordinate the right equipment or alternate drop location.
Spring through early fall is generally best for installing most materials because ground is less likely to be frozen and compaction works better in drier conditions. Avoid deliveries during heavy rain or thaw periods when soils are saturated, since wet ground increases the risk of rutting and uneven settling. Contractors often schedule heavy grading and base work for late spring or summer and finish surfacing before the first hard freeze.
Some municipalities and HOAs may restrict surface materials, colors, or drainage changes, so check local ordinances and your HOA guidelines before ordering. Permits can be required for driveway changes, major grading, or stormwater alterations, which can influence the type and amount of material you need. Contact your local permits office or HOA early in planning to avoid delays.
Compare materials by stability, drainage, maintenance needs, and cost: some offer long-term stability with low upkeep while others need periodic replenishing or raking. Consider the intended use—high-traffic and vehicle areas benefit from harder, angular materials, while planting beds prioritize drainage and root friendliness. Ask your supplier about local examples and maintenance expectations for gravel, sand, dirt, stone in St. Ickney's climate.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before dispatch and depend on supplier and trucking schedules. If there is a problem with delivery or material quality, reach out to customer service so we can work with local suppliers to find a satisfactory resolution and explain next steps. Review our refund and claim guidance for details on how issues are handled.
Prices vary by material, local availability, and order size, but homeowners in the West Illinois area typically see broad ranges rather than fixed rates. As a rough guide, bulk aggregate pricing often falls into low-to-mid tens up to several dozen dollars per ton, or corresponding rates per cubic yard depending on density and type. For an accurate estimate, enter your zip code on our site to get local pricing and delivery costs for gravel, sand, dirt, stone.

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.
