Crushed stone is generally cheaper and a better long-term choice for Bartlett driveways because it compacts tightly and resists shifting, while pea gravel is more decorative but tends to move under traffic. For a low-maintenance, durable driveway in Illinois freeze-thaw conditions, we recommend 3/4u0022 crushed stone or crushed limestone. Choose pea gravel only for decorative areas or where you prefer a softer look and don’t mind occasional raking.

Hello Gravel can deliver 3/4u0022 crushed gravel to Bartlett; delivery is by local dump truck fleets and many orders qualify for free delivery depending on supplier and location. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur an extra fee. Exact delivery cost and availability of spreading will appear in your checkout quote.

Bartlett homeowners commonly choose 3/4u0022 crushed limestone or crushed stone because it locks together, compacts well, and drains reliably in Chicago-area weather. A compacted base of 4 inches is typical for a low-maintenance surface; a top layer of 2-3 inches may be added for appearance. Regional sourcing means color and texture will reflect local geology, so request photos or samples if you have a color preference.

Permitting rules vary by project: simple surface replacement often does not need a permit, but changes to curb cuts, impervious surface area, or drainage may require village approval in Bartlett. Hello Gravel suppliers typically do not handle permits, so check the Bartlett village website or contact Bartlett Public Works or zoning before starting. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can help point you to local resources.

A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft = 800 sq ft) at a 4u0022 compacted depth requires roughly 10 cubic yards, which is about 14 tons (using ~1.4 tons per cubic yard as an estimate). Requirements change with depth and driveway size, so use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request a custom quote from local suppliers in Bartlett for an exact tonnage. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, and suppliers will provide delivered pricing to your Bartlett address.

Same-week delivery is often possible in Bartlett, depending on supplier stock levels, truck availability, and time of year; standard delivery is 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee when a supplier can accommodate it. Installation services beyond tailgate spreading vary by supplier; confirm scheduling and any extra charges when you place your order.

Suppliers in West Illinois commonly stock crushed limestone, #57 stone, 3/4u0022 crusher-run, pea gravel, river rock, and washed drainage stone (1/2u0022 to 1-1/2u0022 sizes) suitable for landscaping and drainage. Some suppliers can provide small samples or photos on request, but availability of physical samples varies by supplier and region. Request samples or photos in your order notes or contact our team to ask suppliers near Bartlett for options.

For drainage problems, clean, washed stone such as 3/4u0022 crushed or larger clean stone (for French drains, use 3/4u0022 to 1-1/2u0022 clean stone) is typically the most cost-effective bulk solution because it resists clogging and promotes flow. Avoid fine or decorative gravels for drainage areas because they can compact and reduce permeability over time. Consider pairing stone with landscape fabric and consulting a local contractor for grading and drainage planning in Bartlett.

Peak season for deliveries is spring through fall, so ordering in late winter, early spring, or late fall can sometimes mean quicker scheduling and better availability in Bartlett. Some suppliers run promotions or lower prices in off-peak months; check Hello Gravel for seasonal offers when you enter your Bartlett zip code. Always allow extra lead time during heavy landscaping season and winter freeze-thaw periods that can affect hauling schedules.
