Order online through Hello Gravel and enter your zip code to check availability.

Minimum order is 3 tons and you can add delivery notes for access or spreading requests.

Start with the function: drainage, walkability, or appearance. Consider local climate and soil, required depth or compaction, and how materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone perform long term in the Illinois Region. Use our material calculator and ask our team for guidance if you are unsure.

Calculate area (length x width) and desired depth to convert to cubic yards or tons; many residential projects need 2-4 inches of cover for surface materials and 3-6 inches for base layers. Our online calculator and customer service can estimate tonnage for your specific material and project.

Common choices include aggregates, mulch, topsoil, and hardscape base materials. Use the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone for drainage, driveways, and base layers; choose mulch or topsoil for planting beds. Match material size and depth to the project's purpose rather than appearance alone.

Depth depends on the material and use: surface coverings like mulch or decorative stone are commonly 2-4 inches, while base layers for driveways and paths often need 3-6 inches or more. Always check project recommendations and local codes before spreading, and ask the driver about tailgate spreading when scheduling delivery.

A common tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 8-12 tons depending on material density and local weight limits. Exact capacity varies by truck and material, so request a quote or ask your supplier during checkout to confirm how many tons will be delivered per truck.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. You can request spreading in the order notes, and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, texture and color can vary with local geology. Expect natural variation and add color or texture preferences in your order notes; contact customer service promptly if a delivered material is significantly different from your expectations.

Plan the area and depth carefully so you order the right amount, account for compaction, and think about drainage and edging. Confirm delivery access, check for underground utilities, and allow extra time for scheduling to avoid project delays.

Contact our team as soon as possible; changes are easier before a supplier processes the order or a truck is dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes are possible once processing begins.

Local municipal programs, tree services, and community buy/swap groups sometimes offer free or low-cost woodchips. Check Frankfort Square and neighboring town websites, local Facebook groups, or call tree removal companies to ask about leftover chips.

Clear the drop area of vehicles and obstacles, measure turn radiuses and gate widths, and protect lawns or driveways if you are concerned about weight damage. Provide clear delivery notes and a contact number so the driver can reach you on arrival.

Price depends on material type, quantity, regional supply, and delivery distance, plus any next-day or special handling fees. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing and connects you with local suppliers so you can compare options before ordering.

Pros choose materials based on project needs, budget, and local availability—same as homeowners should. Contractors may specify different grades or quantities, but the guiding factors (drainage, compaction, durability) apply to both homeowners and pros.
