Why Bellerive Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bellerive has a population of 8,000 and sits within a metro area population of 2.6+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, local construction and landscaping activity is expanding gradually, producing steady demand for residential renovations, new driveways, and small-scale commercial projects. The climate records 228/year sunny days and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall and places the area in hardiness zone 8b, which means materials must balance good drainage for heavy rain events with resistance to sun-driven drying and surface breakdown. That combination influences choices across material types — from base aggregates and drainage sands to topsoil blends and mulches — and makes regional consistency and timely delivery important for project scheduling. Homeowners and contractors in Bellerive benefit when bulk supplies are sourced locally so texture, color, and performance align with expectations and installation windows. Hello Gravel's platform model, connecting you to nearby suppliers and scheduled dump-truck delivery, reduces delays and helps secure the right tonnage when demand is rising. Bellerive's combination of moderate rainfall and abundant sunny days creates two common challenges: managing runoff during intense storms and preventing overly dry, loose surfaces during extended sun. Soils with higher clay content may need amended top layers or coarser aggregates to avoid puddling, while sandy or loamy soils may require stabilizing fines for load-bearing areas. Particle size, organic content, and compaction are the key performance levers across material types; choosing the right combination improves longevity and reduces maintenance. Hello Gravel helps homeowners translate these local realities into practical choices by offering regionally sourced options, quantity calculators, and scheduling that minimize weather-related delays and help projects perform better in Bellerive's climate.Popular Projects in Bellerive This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bellerive Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Bellerive.
Choose materials based on the function you need (load-bearing, drainage, or appearance), your budget, and site conditions. In West Illinois, common options include gravel, sand, dirt, and stone; each performs differently for stability, drainage, and maintenance. If you are unsure, use a material calculator or contact our team for help matching materials to your driveway, path, or yard project.
Freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs in West Illinois can change how materials settle and drain, so choose materials that tolerate freeze-thaw movement and provide good drainage. Schedule major deliveries and installation in spring through fall when possible, and avoid placing some materials on frozen or very wet ground. If you need work in winter, plan for limited hauling windows and possible delays.
Calculate area (square feet) times depth (in inches) and divide by 324 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons if needed or use our online calculator. Typical projects include topping a driveway, filling garden beds, or building a base layer, and each has different depth recommendations. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and ordering slightly more helps account for settling and compaction.
Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days, and a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle), and you can select a preferred delivery date during checkout. Delivery timing is confirmed after the order is processed but exact arrival windows are not guaranteed.
Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it is safe and practical for the job site, but this service is not guaranteed. You can request spreading in your order notes at checkout so the driver is aware, and additional fees may apply if a supplier offers spreading. Always prepare the site and discuss expectations with the delivery team on arrival.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and project type; changes to curb cuts, driveways, grading, or stormwater connections often require local approval. Check with Bellerive or the county building and public works office before ordering if your project alters the public right-of-way or drainage. Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not obtain local permits for customers.
Local soils and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause movement, rutting, or washout if drainage and base preparation are inadequate. For long-term performance, plan for proper grading, compaction, and edge containment and consider materials that promote drainage. Expect periodic maintenance such as topping, regrading, or replenishing material after severe weather.
Pricing depends on material type, quantity, distance from local suppliers, site access, and any special services like next-day delivery or spreading. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and quotes that include delivery options; getting multiple quotes and factoring in delivery fees helps you budget. Ask our team for a detailed estimate based on your zip code and project specifics.
Match the material to the job: choose stable, well-graded materials for driveways, looser materials for top dressing and planting beds, and free-draining aggregates for drainage features. Consider particle size, compaction needs, and appearance when comparing options like gravel, sand, dirt, and stone. If you need help, use our aggregate quiz or contact our sales team for specific recommendations.
Supplier and contractor availability can vary in smaller communities, but Hello Gravel connects you with a regional network of local suppliers and haulers in West Illinois. Lead times may be longer during busy seasons, so book materials and deliveries early to secure a spot. We can check availability for your zip code and help schedule delivery dates that work for your contractor or timeline.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order; changes are easier before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee changes once supplier processing or truck dispatch has begun. See our order terms for details and reach out immediately by phone or text for time-sensitive updates.
Clear a suitable access path for a dump truck, mark any sensitive areas or underground utilities, and provide parking or staging space if street parking or permits are needed. Protect nearby landscaping, structures, and driveways from potential contact with trucks and falling material. Add clear delivery notes at checkout and be available by phone the delivery day to coordinate with the driver.
Natural materials vary by region, and texture, color, and consistency can differ from online photos due to local geology and stock changes. If a material is significantly different from your order, contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. Refer to our refund and issue-resolution policies for next steps and provide photos when possible.
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.
