Materials vary by region because Hello Gravel sources locally, so texture, color, and size can differ based on local geology in the West Illinois area. Natural variance is normal for gravel, sand, dirt, stone, so we advise ordering a small sample if appearance is critical and noting color preferences in Order Notes at checkout. If something looks wrong, contact customer service promptly and we will work to resolve the issue.

Plan your delivery area with clear access for a tri-axle dump truck and a safe place for the driver to offload; tight turns, low branches, or soft ground may affect where the truck can safely dump. You can request an exact drop location in Order Notes, but the driver will choose the final spot based on safety and access. If you need material placed in multiple spots or spread, arrange for additional labor or equipment in advance.
