#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.
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.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
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.

Why Wonder Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wonder Lake's population of 10,800 and its place within a larger metro area of 2.6+ million signal a community that is growing steadily; a growth rate of 1.20% annually translates to continued demand for home improvements, routine maintenance, and incremental new construction rather than a sudden building boom. In practical terms that means homeowners and contractors here are likely to invest in yard upgrades, drainage fixes, driveway refreshes, and landscape renewals over time. The local climate — with 228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in hardiness zone 8b — makes year-round outdoor work feasible but also creates specific needs: materials that shed water, resist erosion, and support plantings through a long growing season. For Wonder Lake projects, that typically raises the importance of well-graded base materials, stable backfill, breathable topsoils, and UV-resistant mulches. Choosing the right mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and organic products reduces repeat work and protects investments against local weather patterns and seasonal wear.Popular Projects in Wonder Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wonder Lake Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Wonder Lake.
Think about the job first: drainage, load-bearing, or erosion control. For most projects in Wonder Lake you can choose from gravel, sand, dirt, stone depending on drainage needs, compaction, and finish appearance; each performs differently so pick materials that meet your desired depth and traffic levels. Use our material calculator or contact our team for help matching material to the project and local conditions.
Yes. Steeper slopes or deeper waterlines often need larger volumes and erosion-control materials, which increases cost and delivery complexity. Plan for additional material and possible engineering when shorelines require fill, riprap, or regrading, and factor in permit costs and staged deliveries.
Permit requirements vary by project and authority; shoreline work often needs county, township, or state approvals and sometimes Army Corps involvement. Before ordering materials, contact McHenry County and local township offices to confirm permits and conditions so you can include permitting timelines and site access in your schedule.
Typical projects include driveways, shoreline stabilization, landscaping beds, and drainage fixes. Each can use a mix of materials—gravel, sand, dirt, stone—for base layers, top dressing, or erosion control; your choice depends on desired appearance, drainage, and expected traffic.
Required quantities depend on area and depth; a simple rule is to measure square feet and desired depth, then convert to tons using our material calculator. For accurate planning, measure the project area, decide on compacted depth, and use our calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Standard delivery to the Wonder Lake area is 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and you can choose your preferred delivery date during checkout.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it depends on site access, safety, and local restrictions. Request spreading at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess feasibility upon arrival; no spreading guarantees are provided.
Because we source materials regionally, texture and color can vary by local geology, so materials may not match photos exactly. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes, and our team can advise on local variations before you order.
Plan deliveries with site access, equipment, and permits in mind; narrow driveways, grading, and shoreline buffers can require smaller trucks or staged drops. Communicate access constraints in the checkout notes and contact our team early so we can match a suitable supplier and hauler.
Estimate material volume using the area and depth, then add delivery fees, permit costs, and any contractor labor or equipment rental. For projects near the lake include contingency for staged deliveries, erosion-control needs, and potential regrading when calculating a budget.
Contact our team as soon as possible to request a change; we will do our best to accommodate changes before the order is processed. Changes become harder once trucks are dispatched, so early communication improves the chance of successful modifications.
Local contractors and specialists are often listed through county resources, trade groups, or local referrals; Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and coordinate delivery to your contractor. We do not endorse specific contractors, but our sales team can advise on material choices and delivery logistics for contractor projects.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
