Why Andover Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Andover is a small but active community with a city population of 597 and access to a much larger regional market — a metro area of 2.6+ million — that supports steady residential and infrastructure activity. A sustained growth rate of 1.20% annually suggests predictable, ongoing demand for home improvement and construction projects rather than sudden booms. In practical terms, homeowners here are likely planning incremental upgrades: patio renovations, driveway repairs, garden beds, and small additions that all rely on dependable bulk materials. The local climate — 228 sunny days a year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b — influences what materials perform best. Good drainage, erosion control, and UV-stable surfaces matter where sun and seasonal rain alternate; similarly, topsoil mixes, mulches, and compaction-ready bases support plantings and hardscapes in this setting. For Andover projects, choosing the right mix of gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone helps ensure long-term performance and lower maintenance.Popular Projects in Andover This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Andover Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Andover.
Homeowners in Andover commonly order bulk materials for driveways, patios and walkways, drainage projects (French drains and swales), leveling low spots or filling beds, and erosion control around slopes. Materials like gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes are used across these jobs depending on load requirements, appearance, and drainage needs.
Start by defining the project's purpose: load-bearing surfaces need more robust, compactable material, while planting beds need clean, loose material for roots and drainage. Consider local climate, desired look, and maintenance—materials like gravel, sand, dirt and stone each perform differently for drainage, compaction and appearance, so use our material quiz or contact our team for guidance.
Andover’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and spring rains can cause settling, frost heave, and migration of fines in poorly prepared areas. Choose well-draining materials, provide adequate base depth, consider geotextile fabric on problem subgrades, and allow for routine topping up and regrading after severe winters.
Spring through fall is the most reliable window for deliveries and outdoor work in Andover; frozen ground and winter storms make installation and spreading more difficult. Order early in busy seasons and use our checkout calendar to reserve your preferred date; standard delivery requires 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by dump-truck fleets (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery normally takes 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee; additional charges can apply for long rural runs, tight access, or requested spreading services.
Suppliers serving West Illinois source from nearby quarries, local pits and regional distribution yards, so materials reflect local geology. That regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, which is normal for natural aggregates like gravel, sand, dirt and stone.
Low spots, clay subsoils that hold water, and variable slopes are common and can affect drainage and compaction. Addressing subgrade preparation—adding structural base, regrading for slope, and using fabric barriers—often matters more than material choice alone for long-term performance.
Permit requirements vary by project scope and local rules; simple resurfacing may not need a permit while new driveways, curb cuts or significant grading often do. Check with Andover or Henry County building and zoning offices before you start; Hello Gravel does not handle permits but can help you plan material quantities once you know local requirements.
Measure the length and width of the area and decide the required depth, then calculate cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet divided by 27) and add 5-10% for waste or compaction. Use our online material calculator or contact our team for help converting cubic yards to tons for materials like gravel, sand, dirt and stone.
Deliveries arrive on dump trucks; drivers will place material where there is safe, legal access and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Please clear the drop zone of vehicles and obstacles, note preferred placement in Order Notes, and be available by phone for any driver questions—exact arrival times are not guaranteed.
Contact our customer service as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. We will make our best effort to modify or cancel orders, but ability to do so depends on supplier and truck scheduling and is not guaranteed.
Most aggregate surfaces need periodic maintenance such as regrading, topping up low spots, and removing vegetation in the material. Expect to check surfaces after spring thaw and heavy rains; sealing, additional compaction, or topping can extend performance depending on the material and use.
Some local suppliers and haulers work with installers or can recommend contractors, but installation is usually contracted separately from material delivery. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and provide material guidance; ask us for referrals and we can pass along supplier recommendations when available.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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!
