Why Algonquin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Algonquin is a growing community with a city population of 31,710 and regional connections to a metro area of 2.6+ million. That 1.20% annual growth rate signals steady, ongoing demand for home improvements, infill housing, and local infrastructure work rather than a sudden boom—meaning homeowners will see a steady need for materials over time rather than sporadic surges. In this climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and about 35.50 inches of annual rainfall—projects require materials that balance drainage, durability, and aesthetic longevity. For landscaping and construction this typically means well-draining base materials for driveways and patios, erosion-resistant soils and mulches for beds and slopes, and aggregates that handle occasional wet periods without losing structural performance. Local sourcing matters because regional geology and supply chains determine texture, color, and compaction behavior, so ordering the right bulk materials helps avoid costly rework and keeps projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Algonquin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Algonquin Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Algonquin.
Algonquin experiences cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles and warm, wet summers. These cycles can cause settling and heaving if materials and base preparation do not allow for drainage and compaction, so choose materials and construction methods that improve drainage and resist movement.
Many yards in the West Illinois area have varied soils from clay-heavy pockets to loamy fill, which can hold water. For sites with poor drainage, prioritize materials and installation that promote runoff and avoid putting fine, compactable material directly on saturated soils without a proper base and drainage.
Standard delivery generally requires at least 2 business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, delivery is by dump truck, and fees depend on distance and access; many areas offer free delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
