Late spring through early fall (roughly May to October) is typically best for deliveries and installation because ground is thawed and drier, which helps with compaction and grading. Avoid late winter and early spring when freeze-thaw cycles and mud can make delivery and finishing work difficult.

Some driveway work or street blockages may require permits from county or township authorities, especially for longer driveways or when a truck must park on a public road. Check local ordinances and notify us of tight turns, low-hanging wires, or private roads so we can coordinate with drivers and suppliers.

West Illinois soils often include clay and areas with seasonal saturation, which can cause poor drainage and frost heave. For driveways and landscaping, plan for base layers and drainage solutions and choose materials that promote stability and runoff control to avoid standing water and slow settling.

Yes, many local suppliers and contracted haulers deliver to rural properties, but access varies by truck size and road conditions. Drivers will assess access on arrival, and you should provide clear delivery instructions or alternative drop-off locations if the site is inaccessible to a standard dump truck.

Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; many local suppliers have similar minimums, and standard delivery is often included for nearby deliveries. Remote locations, long hauls, or expedited next-day service may incur additional delivery fees which will be shown at checkout.

Count the area in square feet and decide on depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth ÷ 324 for inches) or use our online material calculator. Contractors often convert cubic yards to tons using material density, and it is wise to order an extra 5-10% for compaction, grading, and waste.

Many counties enforce seasonal load restrictions during spring thaw to protect roads, which can limit heavy truck access or require lighter loads and alternative routing. If restrictions are in effect, deliveries may be delayed, split into smaller loads, or require coordination with local authorities.

Some drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading, grading, and compaction are not guaranteed and are often performed by a separate contractor. You can request spreading at checkout, and we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor for precise grading and compaction to ensure long-term performance.
