Standard delivery is generally 2+ business days from order, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Rural or hard-to-access addresses around Greenville may take longer, and lead times can increase during busy seasons or severe weather. Choose your preferred date at checkout and contact our team if you need an expedited option.

Deliveries to Greenville are done by contracted dump truck fleets (typically tri-axle trucks) and require a minimum order of 3 tons. Many areas offer free delivery, but long hauls, tight access, or special requests can incur extra charges. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion — request it at checkout but note it is not guaranteed.

Start by identifying function: load-bearing surfaces need stable, well-graded aggregates while planting beds and top dressing need lighter, friable materials. Consider drainage and local climate — choose materials that promote water runoff and resist recurring freeze-thaw cycles. Use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance based on your project and site conditions.

In West Illinois, look for materials that drain well and compact into a stable base to minimize frost heave and water retention. Materials that retain water or break down easily under freeze-thaw or heavy deicing can lead to quicker deterioration. Proper subgrade preparation and drainage are as important as the material itself for long-term performance.

Permit requirements vary by scope and location; simple deliveries usually do not require permits, but driveway reconstruction, curb cuts, or work in a public right-of-way often do. Check with the City of Greenville, Bond County, and any applicable township or homeowners association before starting work. If you expect truck staging in the street or long blockages, notify local authorities ahead of delivery.

A quick way to estimate is to calculate cubic yards: length x width x depth (in feet), divided by 27. For weight, most aggregates fall roughly between 1 and 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on type and moisture — always round up and account for compaction and waste. For example, a 10x20 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 1.9 cubic yards, which will usually meet the 3-ton minimum order with a small excess.

Contractors commonly prefer angular, well-graded base materials that compact tightly for structural work and looser, decorative aggregates for surface finish where drainage and appearance matter. They often use geotextile fabric, proper grading, and layered construction to improve longevity. Discuss project goals with your contractor or our team to match material choice to installation method.

Winter and early spring can slow deliveries because of frozen ground, snow, or local road limits, and demand spikes in spring and fall can increase lead times and prices. Holiday periods and heavy storm seasons may create temporary delays or surcharge conditions. Plan orders early in the season and book preferred delivery dates through checkout to avoid last-minute scheduling issues.

Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and particle shape reflect local geology in West Illinois and surrounding counties. This means look-alikes in photos may vary in person; if color or texture is important, note preferences in Order Notes and we will try to match them. Regional sourcing also reduces haul distances and can lower delivery cost and lead time.

Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and many areas qualify for free delivery, but fees can apply for next-day service, unusually long hauls, or deliveries to remote rural driveways. Minimum order size is 3 tons, and special services like spreading are at the driver's discretion and may carry an extra cost.
