Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.
Crushed Concrete

Driveway Gravel
A ¾”-1” clean, crushed stone ideal for rejuvenating worn down gravel driveways, or for installing a fresh new driveway on your property. Aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects.

Why Elk Creek Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elk Creek is a compact community (city population: 240) situated within a broad regional market (metro area population: 7.9+ million). With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, local construction and landscaping demand tends to be gradual and predictable—more renovation, yard upgrades, and small-scale new builds than rapid expansion. The climate mixes plenty of sun (204 sunny days per year) with significant precipitation (annual rainfall: 49.77 inches) and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a. That combination creates a need for versatile bulk materials that perform across wet–dry cycles: well-graded soils and base mixes for reliable drainage, durable surfacing that resists washout, and organic amendments to support plantings. For Elk Creek homeowners, quality, locally sourced bulk supplies help ensure projects hold up through seasonal shifts and the incremental development patterns common in smaller communities.Popular Projects in Elk Creek This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elk Creek Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Elk Creek.
Homeowners and contractors in Elk Creek commonly choose from a range of bulk materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone for driveways, pathways, raised beds, and drainage improvements. Selection depends on function: load-bearing surfaces need well-graded, compactable mixes while decorative areas can prioritize color and texture. Consider appearance, compaction needs, and drainage performance when choosing a material.
Choose materials that match the local slope, drainage needs, and seasonal rainfall: permeable mixes help shed water on slopes, and denser, well-graded mixes work better where compaction is important. Regional sourcing means texture and color vary, so check samples or photos and add color preferences in Order Notes. If you have heavy runoff or steep grades, mention that when ordering so suppliers can recommend appropriate options.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide on the desired depth in inches, then convert to cubic yards or tons using an online calculator or our material calculator. As a rule of thumb, deeper bases need more material for driveways (usually several inches), while decorative top layers are shallower. Hello Gravel’s calculator and sales team can help convert your measurements and check minimum order requirements.
Schedule heavy work in spring or fall when temperatures are moderate and the chance of heavy rain is lower; avoid mid-winter storms and very hot summer days for finishing work. Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Book ahead during busy landscaping seasons to secure preferred dates.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety and equipment. Grading and compaction are usually performed by contractors or homeowners using dedicated equipment rather than haul truck crews. If you need spreading, grading, or compaction services, arrange them with a local contractor or ask our team for recommendations.
Prices and availability can vary by region because materials are sourced locally; smaller communities like Elk Creek may have fewer suppliers, which can affect price and lead time. Distance from quarries or pits, seasonal demand, and material type influence delivery cost more than city size alone. Use our zip-code check to see current pricing and delivery options for your specific address.
Yes, many projects require local permits or HOA approvals, especially for driveway changes, curb cuts, or large stockpiles placed in public right-of-way. Check with the Elk Creek city office or your HOA before scheduling delivery and confirm any restrictions on delivery times, truck access, or material placement. If you expect the truck to block a street or driveway, allow extra time and obtain any necessary permissions in advance.
After delivery, compact layers as recommended for your project, establish proper drainage away from structures, and top with an appropriate surface layer if needed for traction or appearance. Protect freshly delivered materials from heavy rain until they are incorporated or compacted, and follow maintenance practices like periodic replenishment for high-traffic areas. If unsure, ask our team for basic finishing tips for your specific project.
Hello Gravel provides online tools like a material calculator and aggregate quiz to help narrow choices, plus access to local suppliers that reflect Elk Creek’s geology. You can choose a delivery date at checkout, request tailgate spreading, and contact our sales team by phone or text for personalized guidance. We handle coordination with local haulers and provide transparent pricing and minimum order information to simplify your project planning.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
