Use the zip code lookup to get a tailored price and remember seasonal demand can affect rates.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10-12 cubic yards.

If you prefer help, our team can verify quantities over text or phone for Arlington Heights projects.

Clear a safe, level drop zone free of low-hanging wires, vehicles, and landscaping obstacles, and mark the desired offload location with flags or stakes. Ensure access for a dump truck and communicate any tight turns, gates, or neighborhood restrictions when ordering. If you need spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout and the driver will assess feasibility on arrival.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion based on safety and equipment; request the service at checkout. This is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and truck setup. For precise placement or larger spreading jobs, consider hiring a landscaper or equipment rental.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Popular materials like mulch and topsoil can have limited availability and longer lead times during spring and fall landscaping seasons, so plan ahead and check stock when you order. Regional sourcing means supply can fluctuate based on local demand and weather.

Choose materials based on function: base layers need angular, well-draining aggregates, while decorative surfaces favor consistent color and size. For planting beds or lawn repair, opt for screened topsoil or compost blends that support root growth; for driveways or drainage, choose denser gravel or stone mixes. Use Hello Gravel's aggregate quiz or contact our team to match materials to your specific Arlington Heights project.

Materials reflect local geology so color, texture, and particle shape can vary from photos. Hello Gravel sources regionally, so samples may differ across Arlington Heights suppliers; we recommend ordering a small sample if color or texture is critical. If the delivered material seems substantially different, contact customer service to discuss options.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request changes; modifications are easier before orders enter processing or dispatch. We will make a best effort to accommodate adjustments, but changes cannot be guaranteed once trucks are scheduled. Review the order confirmation for timing and contact details for fastest assistance.

Material is quoted in tons or cubic yards; the weight-to-volume ratio varies by material density and moisture content. After delivery, some materials will settle or compact over time, so contractors typically order an extra 10-15% to account for compaction and spreading losses. Your project type and desired finished grade determine the exact allowance.

Hello Gravel shows delivery availability and fees by zip code during checkout; many areas qualify for free delivery while others may have a fee based on distance or access. You can choose your preferred delivery date on the checkout calendar, and next-day service is available for same-day orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge. Expect a confirmation message with delivery details and a contact number for questions.

Contractors should plan for staging space, coordinated offloads, and consistent material gradation for multi-load jobs. Request volume discounts or multiple-truck scheduling via Hello Gravel and confirm haul routes and on-site access to avoid delays. Provide a single point of contact for deliveries to streamline communications and make use of the material calculator to reduce waste.
