Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
3/8″ Crushed Stone
(#89 Stone) A smaller crushed stone perfect for walkways and more decorative applications. Pathways will come to life with garden-like aesthetics and be comfortable under foot. Also suitable for various groundcover applications, as an underlayment for patio paver and turf projects, for playground surfacing and for filling gaps between larger stones.

Why Stillman Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stillman Valley, with a population of 2,960, sits within a steadily growing regional market that supports measured construction and landscaping demand. A 1.20% annual growth rate signals steady, incremental expansion rather than a boom—meaning homeowners and small contractors can expect consistent need for remodeling, new driveways, garden beds, and property maintenance rather than sudden large-scale development. The local climate—228 sunny days annually and 35.50 inches of rain—combined with hardiness zone 8b favors year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that handle both sun exposure and periodic moisture. That makes durable, well-graded aggregates, stable topsoils, and weather-resistant mulches especially valuable. Homeowners in this market are trending toward lower-maintenance yards, improved drainage, and durable access surfaces; quality bulk supplies help achieve those outcomes while reflecting the local geology and color variations you’ll see in regionally sourced materials.Popular Projects in Stillman Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stillman Valley Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Stillman Valley.
Homeowners and contractors in Stillman Valley commonly order bulk materials like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, walkways, patios, drainage, and planting beds. These materials are chosen for their function—stability and drainage for driveways, finer materials for bedding and grading, and topsoil or dirt for planting and leveling. Local sourcing means texture and color can vary, so review pictures and notes before ordering. Use our material quiz or contact our team for help matching a material to your project.
Minimum orders are typically 3 tons through our platform, and standard delivery is usually available in 2+ business days with variable fees based on distance and site access. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but rural drop locations, tight access, or next-day requests may incur additional charges. Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Enter your zip code on checkout or contact customer service for an exact quote.
Stillman Valley experiences freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and seasonal moisture that influence settling, frost heave, and drainage performance. Choose materials and installation methods that promote drainage and resist movement over freeze-thaw seasons, such as well-graded base layers and properly compacted subbases. Expect some seasonal shifting and plan for drainage features that divert meltwater away from foundations and paved areas. Regional sourcing also means materials reflect local geology, which can affect compaction and drainage properties.
Spring through early fall is the busiest window for deliveries and installations in Stillman Valley, so schedule projects early to secure preferred dates. Fall is a good time for landscape beds and erosion-control work, while winter deliveries may be limited due to frozen ground and reduced hauling. For urgent needs, select next-day delivery before noon CST where available, but expect higher fees and more limited availability during peak season. Plan ahead if you need coordination with contractors or permit timelines.
Yes, local town, county, and HOA rules can affect allowable materials, driveway width, runoff controls, and curb cuts in Stillman Valley. Requirements vary by township and neighborhood, so check local building departments and your HOA before ordering materials or starting work. Hello Gravel can deliver materials but cannot advise on permits; contact local authorities for permit and setback questions. If you have restrictions, add order notes or call our team so we can confirm supplier options that meet those requirements.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for eligible zip codes, though availability depends on supplier and hauler schedules. Same-day delivery is possible in some cases but is limited and subject to truck availability, site access, and order cutoffs. Rural addresses may have additional access requirements or fees, so provide clear directions and any gate or road restrictions at checkout. Use the zip code check on our site or call customer service to confirm options for your address.
Prepare the site by removing soft organic material, establishing proper slope away from structures, and compacting a stable base to reduce settling and frost heave. Use geotextile fabric on weak soils, a graded subbase for load-bearing areas, and include drain features like French drains or swales where water concentrates. Edge restraints help keep materials in place for walkways and beds, and regular compaction during installation improves longevity. When in doubt, consult a local contractor familiar with Stillman Valley soils and freeze-thaw behavior.
Upfront costs and maintenance vary: loose aggregate surfaces (gravel, crushed stone) are usually less expensive to install but need periodic grading and topping, while paved surfaces cost more initially and have different long-term maintenance. Landscaping beds and mulched areas are lower cost but require replenishing and weed control, and drainage solutions may add to upfront expense while reducing future repair costs. Consider lifecycle maintenance when choosing materials—cheaper upfront options can require more frequent upkeep. Use our material calculator to compare quantities and estimated costs for your project.
Common orders vary by project: a small garden bed or walkway might need 1 to 3 tons, a single-car driveway resurfacing often needs 15 to 30 tons depending on dimensions and depth, and new driveways or larger projects can require 40 to 60+ tons. These are general ranges—actual needs depend on area, desired depth (usually 3 to 6 inches for many surfaces), and compaction. Our online calculator and sales team can convert your measurements into a recommended tonnage and respect the 3-ton minimum. Always allow a small extra quantity for compaction and waste.
For slopes and erosion-prone areas, products like larger crushed stone, riprap, and geotextile fabric help slow water and protect soil, while compacted base materials and terraces reduce slope velocity. Planting with native deep-rooted vegetation and using mulch or straw wattles can provide additional stabilization and help meet local runoff requirements. Retaining walls combined with proper drainage often provide durable slope control for higher elevations. Choose materials that match your slope scale and local drainage conditions, and check any local erosion-control rules before starting work.
Clear a level drop zone free of overhead wires, low branches, and obstacles, and mark any hazards or preferred placement with flags or cones so the driver can assess access. Provide width and weight limits for driveways or private roads, and note gate codes or steps for long driveway approaches in the Order Notes. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but the driver will decide if it can be done safely on arrival and spreading is not guaranteed. Taking these steps reduces delays and helps ensure a smooth delivery to rural properties.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
