Materials Available for Delivery
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.
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.
Garden Soil
Premium garden soil enriched with organic matter—essential for vigorous, healthy plant growth. Ideal for filling gardens, building raised beds, and enhancing tired or compacted soil. Fulfillment 20-40% organic is ideal
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.
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.

Why White County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
White County homeowners are working and building in a market shaped by both local growth and regional demand. With a city population of 13,900 and a nearby metro area population of 2.5+ million, a growth rate of 3.30% annually points to steady increases in new construction, renovations, and yard improvements — more driveways, patios, stormwater retrofits, and low-maintenance landscapes. The climate and geography matter: hardiness zone 8b with 152 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 33.50 inches creates a mix of opportunities and constraints. Those sunny days give long installation windows for patios and drainage work, while the rainfall level means proper grading, drainage stone, and erosion control are frequently needed. For homeowners that translates to demand for a range of bulk materials — from base rock and sand for stable foundations to screened topsoil and organic mulches for planting — and an emphasis on material quality and correct sizing for each job. Local soils and seasonal moisture swings in White County create real performance questions for any bulk material choice. Wet periods can cause settling, rutting, or erosion if the wrong particle sizes or insufficient compaction are used, while the generally mild winters in hardiness zone 8b reduce but do not eliminate freeze-thaw concerns. That means homeowners should think about drainage capacity, gradation (how material sizes are mixed), and organic content for planting beds when ordering. Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers who understand these conditions, offering tools to calculate quantities, and providing scheduled delivery so materials arrive when weather and project timing align. Our local sourcing approach also helps match material texture and color to White County’s landscape without guesswork.Popular Projects in White County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - White County Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in White County.
Choose materials that drain well and resist frost heave. Well-graded, angular aggregates compact tightly and shed water better than very fine, cohesive soils. Because materials reflect local geology, ask suppliers about frost resistance and drainage for the mixes available in White County before ordering.
Most suppliers working with Hello Gravel require a minimum order of about 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically available in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery offered for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; exact timing and fees depend on local supplier and truck availability.
Yes, many local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to rural homes and construction sites, but deliveries depend on site access, road weight limits, and turnaround space. Provide a full address and any access notes when you order, since remote or restricted sites may incur additional fees or delivery conditions.
Late spring through early fall is usually best because ground is unfrozen and crews are available for follow-up work. Avoid scheduling on days after heavy rain or during deep freeze, since wet or frozen surfaces make spreading and compaction harder and can affect material performance.
Typical volumes vary by size and depth. As a rule of thumb, a single-car driveway at 4 inches deep requires roughly 6 to 12 cubic yards, while a small patio often needs 1 to 4 cubic yards. Convert to weight using the material density provided by your supplier (many aggregates average about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard) and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
Local permits, setback rules, and HOA covenants may apply to driveways, major grading, or deliveries that block roads. Check with White County zoning or building offices and your HOA before ordering, especially for work near rights-of-way, drive access, or known wetlands.
Use well-draining aggregate mixes, layer materials with a compacted base, and consider geotextile fabric to separate soil from aggregate. Combine materials with grade controls such as terraces, retaining features, and planted buffers to slow runoff and protect against erosion; consult a local contractor for steep slopes.
Many local contractors offer complete services including delivery coordination, spreading, and compaction, but Hello Gravel deliveries are performed by contracted dump truck fleets and tailgate spreading is optional at the driver's discretion. If you need spreading or compaction, coordinate with your contractor ahead of time and note any spreading requests at checkout.
Prices vary by material type, distance from the quarry, and required volume. As a rough guide, delivered materials in the Illinois region often fall in a broad range per ton or per cubic yard; exact pricing is shown in checkout. For project budgeting, factor in material cost, delivery fees, and any contractor labor or spreading services.
Yes, wetlands, streams, and regulated drainage areas can limit deliveries or require erosion controls and permits. Avoid placing material where it can enter waterways or cover protected areas, and consult White County conservation or planning offices if your property has mapped wetlands, steep slopes, or sensitive runoff concerns.
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.
