Why Aledo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 4,580, Aledo sits within a growing regional market that influences local building and landscaping needs. The surrounding metro area population of 2.6+ million and a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually point to continued demand for residential improvements and infill construction rather than rapid sprawl. Aledo’s climate — with 228/year sunny days, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and its location in hardiness zone 8b — supports an extended construction and planting season, but also shapes which materials perform best. Homeowners and contractors increasingly prioritize materials that balance drainage, stability, and aesthetics: well-graded soils and engineered fills for grading, permeable aggregates for driveways and walkways, and mulches and topsoils that support plantings suited to local hardiness. In this context, reliable access to quality bulk materials matters because it reduces delays, lowers risk of rework, and helps projects age gracefully in the local climate.Popular Projects in Aledo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aledo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Aledo.
Homeowners in Aledo commonly order a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and stone for driveways, paths, patios, and garden beds. These materials cover base layers, drainage, top-dressing, and grading needs, and local suppliers often offer several size and texture options. Choose based on the project's load, drainage needs, and desired look.
Start by identifying the project's purpose: load-bearing areas need materials that compact and drain well, while decorative areas prioritize color and texture. Consider drainage, expected traffic, maintenance, and budget, and factor in Aledo's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. If unsure, use Hello Gravel's material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Estimate material by area and depth: per 100 square feet, 2 inches of material is about 0.62 cubic yards, 3 inches is about 0.93 cubic yards, and 4 inches is about 1.23 cubic yards. Driveways commonly need 3 to 6 inches of compacted material, patios often need 4 to 6 inches of base, and landscape beds usually need 2 to 4 inches of top material. For accurate amounts, use the Hello Gravel calculator or call our team with your dimensions.
Delivered price varies by material, quantity, and supplier, and can change with fuel and seasonal demand. As a ballpark, bulk material deliveries in West Illinois often fall within a broad range, so check Hello Gravel for current, transparent pricing by zip code. Enter your Aledo zip at checkout or contact our sales team for an exact quote.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel schedules deliveries with local haulers and allows you to choose a preferred delivery date on checkout, but exact arrival windows are not guaranteed. During busy seasons or bad weather, expect longer lead times.
Yes. Winter freeze-thaw, heavy snow, and muddy spring conditions can affect access, delivery timing, and whether tailgate spreading is possible. Plow routes and local road restrictions may also limit where trucks can drop materials. Plan earlier in the season or allow extra lead time for winter and spring orders.
Dump trucks used for deliveries are typically large tri-axle vehicles; they need clear access, enough turning room, and a stable surface to dump safely. Mark your preferred drop area, remove obstacles, and note low-hanging wires or narrow drives in order notes. Drivers will decide on-site if tailgate spreading is safe; Hello Gravel recommends arranging any mechanical spreading in advance with a contractor.
Hello Gravel handles hauling and drop-off as part of the delivery service, subject to our minimum order and truck access rules, while spreading is offered at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Some local contractors bundle hauling and spreading into their quotes; others charge separately. Always confirm with your contractor or request spreading options during checkout and get final costs in writing.
Materials that drain well and compact tightly are less prone to frost heave and hold up better under snowplow use. Because regional materials vary, choose products described as durable and angular for high-traffic or plow-prone areas, and prioritize good subgrade preparation and drainage. If snowplowing is expected, discuss maintenance and material options with our team or your contractor.
Possibly. Some local regulations, township rules, or HOAs in the Aledo area may limit driveway surface types, curb cuts, or require permits for significant grading or runoff changes. Check local municipal offices and your HOA rules before ordering to avoid rework or removal. If you need guidance, Hello Gravel can remind you to verify permits during checkout.
During spring and fall peak seasons, lead times can extend beyond the standard 2+ business days and may be 5 to 7 business days or longer depending on demand. Order early, choose an available delivery date at checkout, and consider the next-day option for smaller orders placed before noon CST. Contacting our team ahead of large projects helps secure materials and preferred delivery windows.
Natural aggregates can vary in color and texture due to regional sourcing, so some variation from photos is normal; contact Hello Gravel promptly if you have concerns. To change or cancel an order, reach out as soon as possible—changes are easier before the order goes to the supplier, and we will do our best to accommodate requests. Refer to our order and refund policies for details and next steps.
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.
